Statements printed by extremist newspapera here that Great Britain haa threatened to declare war against Soviet Russia if the Bolshevik advance into Foland is not halted, have not been confirmed in authoritative quarters. While it is generally agreed the allies are taking an emphatic 6tand upon the terms sent by Earl Curzon, British secretary of state for foreign affairs to George Tchitcherin, Bolshevik foreign minister on July 20 in which he mated that if the Soviet government made war upon the Polish people the allies would assist the Poles, nothing reliably is known which would Justify the assumption that auch assistance would take the form of a declaration of war with all such a declaration would involve.

In military quarters here the view 13 taken that tho allied principle weapon against the BolehevikI if it is decided to oppose them will be the blockade and that the Poles will, if pofisible, be given supplies. Doubt is expressed however, as to the poselbil. ity of conveying supplies to the Polish army in the event that the Bolshevik! capture Warsaw and close the corridor leading from Poland into Danzig. In this case a blockade might be the only meane of helping Poland. Lloyd George's Statement.

In a statement in the house commons today in regard to last evening's conference with the Soviet delegates, Premier Lloyd George said he and Mr. Bonar Law made it clear to M. Krassin and Kameneff that the immediate conclusion of an armis tice on fair terms was the only course which would remove suspicion that tho Soviet government was insincere in its professed desires for peace and in its declaration that it intended to respect the liberty and independence of Poland. Premier Lloyd George added that he and Mr. Bonar Law also made It clear that, in view of the fact that ethnographically Toland had been invaded "we would take effective steps to remove obstacles in the way of transmission to Poland from Danzig r.f military supplies which could be obtained from that quarter." The premier concluded: "I think in view of the critical state of affairs would rather not make any further statement this afternoon but, should unfortunately our suspicions be confirmed, I shall make a full statement to the house Monday as to such further naval or military action which It may be necessary to take." He said the whole object of the pro posed peace conference in London has been jeopardized by the Soviet army's advance.

Premier Lloyd George stated that the Soviets had not yet replied to Britain's note of July 20 proposing the London peace conference. He read the text of another note which Great Britain sent to the Soviet government lust Tuesday after the Soviet demanded that the Polish armistice delegation be empowered also to sign fundamentals of peace. This note said that if the Soviets insisted on making peace with Poland to the exclusion of other powers then the project for the London peace con-ference would have fallen thru. FLEEING FROM WARSAW.

Ellngshausen held the record prior to Shaw, and has been out of competition for two years. Then, to cap the climax, last Saturday, at the tournament of the Ocean City Fishing club, a new star burst on the horizon, and sent Ellngs-hausen'a new record into the discard. The newcomer, who haa never competed in a. tournament before, is a protege of Elingshausen's, and has all the earmarks of a comer.

His name is Harold Lentz, and ne, too, hails from the Anglers club of Ocean City. Last Saturday he made, three casts better than Elingshausen's record for a single cast, and also beat Ellngshausen' world's record for the best average of five casts which has stood for four years. Lentz's marks Saturday were 457 feet 1 inch, 456 feet 2 inches and 461 feet 10. inches. His new average record is '434 feet 11 2-5 inches.

That the South Jersey boys will not have everything their own way is evidenced by the reports that are coming in from the Long Island district. Shaw, the former champion, has been practising for many weeks, as have Elder and Eerger. The latter two have been doing better than the present world's record in practise, and there should be a battle royal for the honors when this quintet meets. Jack Clayton of Asbury Park has been going in fine style in practise, too, and should 'be up with the top-notchers, as also should Ray Riday, the youngster from the Ocean City club. Saturday's contests will serve as a tryout for the Ocean City cup event, the classic of the surf-casting world, while will be contested for at Ocean City on Saturday, Aug.

14. All of the experts will be on hand to look the casters over, with the idea of getting a line on the strongest team. Captain Howard Kain has gotten a strong team together for the local organization, and is confident of bringing the big cup back to this city. Saturday's program Includes events for club members as well as open events for distance and accuracy, an event for the ladles, anl another for the veterans of 65 years and over. The J.

Gentle system of classification will be used in several of the events, which will give the tyros an equal chance with the experts for the handsome prizes that are offered BE USED ON ROADS State Auto Fees to be Appor- toined by Highway Commission Next Wednesday.

It Is roughly es timated now that this sum will be about $2,500,000.

Until it has finally decided the ap portionment, the hlghwa'y board will not make any decisions afl to allowances of money from this account for road building and improvement purposes. Various counties are coming at tho weekly meetings of the highway commission and requesting funds from the state for road work. But until the new body has definitely fixed ita financial status, it will not make any definite promisee. All ap plications from counties are being re ceived and taken under advisement for" further consideration and disposition when the commission knows just what funds it has to dispense.
