Might Be Some Tip For
Burgess Wigfield in This
Special to The Telegraph
Long Beach, N. Y.. Aug. 6. Joseph
, Curley, yntil a few days ago a Long
Beach policeman, nas resigned. Then,
was a reason.
Curley was brought before the Vil
lage Board upon charges, and the board
had difficulty maintaining its dignity
while listening to the tales of Chief
of Police Hewlett and Michael Mangin,
engineer of a hotel.
They testified that Curley. while sup
posed to be pounding the pavement—
that is, the sands —of Long Beach, had
entered the engine room of the hotel
where Mangin works and stretched
himself out for a snooze.
| Hotel employes blackened his face
I with burnt cork while he snored, -it
was related. Chief Hewlett said he
took Curley's badge from his coat
while he slept.
When the village fathers asked Cur
! ley what he had to say he replied that
he guessed he would resign—had a bet
ter job in prospect in a neighboring
village, anyway, a village where peo
ple do not make sport of a cop.

GERMANE ENDEAVOR
TO ENCIRCLE RUSS
[Continued From First Page.]
back of Warsaw the only fortress
available as a rallying point for the
Russians is Brest-Litovsk. Thus the
Russians are menaced by General von
Buelow's columns bending southward
and by Field Marshal von Macken
sen's southern army bending north
ward.
The occupation of Warsaw is center
ing attention on a series of important
events that are being arranged. First
will be the selection of a German
governor. Reports indicate the ap
pointee will be a German who will bo
vested with authority akin to that
which Napoleon gave to his brothers
and to his marshals as kings of occu
pied territory.
Berlins reports a council to be held
on Sunday will formulate a procla
mation declaring Poland to be a semi
autonomous state under joint Polish
and Austro-Hungarian rule. This con
forms with a recent decision of a Po
lish congress held at Pietrkow, Rus
sian Poland, which proposed a joint
Polish army and the fullest Polish
autonomy consistent with the strategic
Interests of Austria-Hungary.
Rid for Support
The German offer of autonomy Is
regarded as a bid for the support of
the population of Poland as against a
similar declaration of Emperor Nich
olas promising eventual Polish au
tonomy under Russian suzerainty. The
outcome of these events in Warsaw
probably will determine the political
status of Poland during the war.
