POLES UNWILLING
TO HALT ADVANCE

Washington. Aug. 27.-(By \. PO-
Publication of the Polish answer to the
American note Of August 81, suggest
ing that Poland should not transgress
Russian boundaries, has been deferred
pending further correspondence with the
government at Warsaw. The note is
said mot to be disappointing from the
American point of view.
Some divergence of opinion has been
indicated as to the Photographic line, y
or the line of the Supreme Council, upon
reaching which. the American note
urged. the victorious Polish armies
should halt in their counter offensive
against the Bolsheviki. Official com
ments of the French foreign Office as
we'll as the statements of Polish ofi-
cials here have disclosed this difference.
Polish officials have contcnded that as
the line fixed by the Supreme Council
was only tentative. and as no armistice
had been concluded with the Soviet
armies, it would be courting disaster for
the Polish pursuit to stop short of com :
plete defeat of the Bolsheviki, even il
that purpose took the Polish troops
across the line. There were indications
today that the diplomatic discussion now
in progress revolved upon whether Po-
lish forces should stop where they now
are, upon the line of the Supreme Coun
Gil, or press the pursuit of the Bolshe
wiki and withdraw later to the line.

DANZIG COUNCIL
W4RNED BY TOWER

Danzig, Aug. 26.--By CA. P.D-At
today's sitting of the Danzig state
council Sir Reginald Tower, allied high
commissioner in Danzig, stated that the
past few weeks had shown that peace
and order had not yet been restored in
Danzig and that the constitutional as
sembly's recent resolution concerning
neutrality was unwarranted rs Danzig
is not yet free state.
Sir Reginald charged the assembly
with hampering the transport of NUM-
tions for Poland and the return of Poles
to their country. He added that if
more foreign troops were landed it
would be the fault of the people of
Danzig themselves, because they had
not respected the terms of the peace
treaty, and the town would have to pay
the cost of the increased occupational
forces.
Head Burgomaster Sahm replied that
distinction should be made between
the neutrality declaration and the har-
Dor mems refusal to unload war ma
terials. He explained that the as
sembly had merely proposed the Dauaig
district should be declared a neutral
zone, not because of hostility to the
Poles, but to save the country from
war. The harbor men did not favor
violence, the burgomaster declared, and
the authorities would do their utmost
to protect foreign and state property.
