FRANCE APPROVES
ACTION OF j. S.
FRENCH REPLY INDICATES CO.
OPERATION WITH AMERICA
AGAINST SOVIET RUSSIA.
MAKES VOLUNTARY DECISION
French Premier MiIleraad Urges the
U. S. to Influence Lloyd George
Against Demand for Recog-
milton Of the Soviets.

Washington.-Noth could have
had a better effect upon the Polish
Russian situation than the publication
of the cordial response of the French
government to Secretary Colby's note
IF August 10, declaring the American
policy concerning the dangerous situa-
ti1n in Eastern Europe.
The text of the French communica-
ton was cabled from Paris. The French
note is doubly appreciated here because
the French government did not wait
until the Colby declaration had been
communicated to it officially, but lost
no time in notifying the United States
and the world that France was III ac-
cord with the American doctrine enun-
dated by Colby.
The official text of the French COM
munication to the state department
was not made public.
Bad Impression Corrected.
The favorable manner in which the
American declaration has been re-
ceived by the French government and
the French press has done much to
eradicate the rather painful effect pro-
duced in Washington by the action Of
the French foreign office in giving to
newspapers supposed "communique"
of this government, which set forth an
entirely erroneous view of the Ameri-
can position toward Russia and Poland.
A complete change of tone is observ-
oh ia, oil IiSti n
ion as. has been received in this coun-
try. With the publication of Secretary
CcIby's nnie it was seen in France that
the Emitted States was as strongly op-
posed as aver to according recognition
to the Eolshevist regime, and an 'n,-
mediate favorable reaction was ap-
parent.
Ii che official explanation OF the
American attitude by Secretary Colby
and the hearty Endorsement of that at
titude by France is found additional
reason for French-American cO-opera-
tion in the common desire of the pow
ers to save Poland and check the sweep
of Bolshevisap. ~. -
The danger spot in the critical Sit
uation arising from the Polish defeat
by the Russian armies is the attitude
of British labor, according to opinion
here. Every proper step will be taken
by the United States to convince lloyd
George that surrender to the labor
ties in their demand that the red gov
ernment at Moscow be formally recog-
nized by Great Britain would be ex-
tremely unwise.
The first and, it Is believed, the best
step has already been taken in the
American declaration of policy which
has brought from France an enthusias-
tic endorsement Of the American
move.
There is TO DISPOSITION here to find
fault with the insistence of the British
labor party that British forces should
not be sent into Russia That is in
accord with the position of the United
States. 1t is also in accord with the
position of Lloyd George, as explained
by him in his speech in the House
of Commons recently.

SOVIET TROOPS
HOLD IS BROKEN
TIDE TURNED AGAINST BolSHE-
WIKI AT GATES OF WARSAW
BY NEW TACTICS.
REDS ABANDON MUCH BOOTY
Polish Counter Offensive in Full
Swing and Soviet Forces Are
Said to Be Falling Back
in Confusion.

Paris-Tireless efforts by the Poles
to push back the invading Bolsheviki
have resulted in the capture of inn
portant strategic positions Three
DAYS ago the Polish forces faced an
extremely critical situation, with the
Red center virtually reaching the
outer forts of the capital. On the
right wing the Soviet troops had cap
tured the Pultusk-Serock bridgehead,
driving the Poles from the fort where
the Narew joins the Bug.
However, the Poles launched a
counter offensive from N0vO George
vsk, clearing the north bank of the
Narew, and they recaptured the Ser
ock bridgehead before the Bolsheviki
had time to establish themselves. OPP
erations are now proceeding against
the Pultusk forts.
The Bolsheviki in their retreat aban-
doned considerable booty which has.
not yet been inventoried. Operations
by the Polish right against the Wiepez
and the middle Bug continue accord
ing to plans.
Warsaw-Reports of Polish MILL
tary successes came to Warsaw while.
the population was eagerly awaiting
news from Minsk, where the Polish
peace delegates are to negotiate with
the representatives of the Russia Sow
let government. The only report of
the delegates was Moscow wireless
{ba+ 4Ia haI
arrived in Minsk.
A successful counter offensive was
launched on the Warsaw front under
the leadership of President Pilsudski
as communicating chief.
On the northern front, where ten
Bolshevik divisions are striking to-
ward the Vistula as part of the mani
euver against Warsaw, and on the
Warsaw front it was announced that
the Reds have been driven back at
several points.
Polish movements, aided by heavy
artillery, are forcing the Bolshevik
gradually to withdraw from various
places where for. days pressure upon
the capital Mas been grea4est.
In the fighting in the region of Rad
zymin, northeast Of Warsaw, the Poles
have taken many prisoners, including
Bolshevik commissary and brigade
commander. During the battle here
a Polish chaplain Of the Eighth Infan--
try Division, Ignacy Korupka, was
killed while leading the attacking
forces clad in his church robe and
with q crucifix in his hand.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

Ed. Times: Now that the city has
an ample water supply for its present
needs. for which we have to thank
the present City Council and as the
city is badly in need of fire plugs, I
would suggest that the Council look
into this matter: As you will sec,
there is one fire plug at the corner
of the Yerington Times building, the
next is at the corner OF Van Ness ave,
distance OF some 900 or 700 yards,
and the next is about 200 yards south.
Only three plugs on the main street,
with California and other outlying
streets without any at all.
