 The initial tactical aim of this man. oeuvre, say military experts, is already more than attained, as the left wing of tne bolshevih army, based on Brest Lltoysk, has become separated, the Red center is being held before the forts of warsaw and on the right they are re- ported in a critical condition.
 According to the latest news the Poles have almost reached their next objective the course of the Middle Bug below Brest Lltovsk. Once this is attained, it is believed the retreat of the bolshevfki. concentrated in the Siedloe region, will be cut off and they will be left with only one way to retire beyond the Bug. This is by way of the Warsaw -Bialystok high road.
 North of the Narew river the Polish left wing is continuing to advance and is | now well up in the fork between the Narew and Bug rivers, making a con 1 verging attack on the Pultusk bridge head In the center the Poles are rapid ly drivin gthes Reds back on the upper i Bug between Chiechanow and Drohiczyn

 The conference considered partic1i larly report of the special committee of the National Coal Association in the matter of shipment of tidewater bitum- nous coal, the statement said, and unanimously reached the conclusion that such changes should be made in the reg ulations of the tidewater coal exchange which handles shipments through New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, as would result in penalizing the holding of bituminous coal by individual mem bers of the exchange beyond the free time permitted in established coal de- murrage tariffs.
