POLES YIELDING
TO BOLSHEVIKI
Excitement Prevails - New
York Official Bureau Dis
credits Berlin Report.
REDS IN WARSAW, MINSK

Berlin. June 1S.-Alarming reports OF
the military situation on the Polish
bolshevik front are received by the
Taeglische Rundschau from Breslau,
verses, 1t is said, and in some parts
OF the front large bodies of troops may
be forced to surrender.
Among the losses reported to have
been suffered blythe Poles, the report
says are two regiments Of cavalry,
which were annihilated. and 10000 pris-
oners taken by the bosheviki. who also
have captured 165 cannon. The fall of
Minsk is expected, it is asserted.
The front from Dunaburg to PodolslS
is Yielding gradually, and belief is ex-
pressed that Warsaw may be occupied
by soviet troops. Cen Haller's men
at Czentsochow have mutinied and eX-
PEELED some Of their officers. Near
Fiev. the Poles have withdrawn to the
line they occupied on April 90, where
the Third and Seventh army corps are
surrounded and may be forced to ca
pitulate.
Excitement prevails throughout Po-
land, the dispatch says, and state doc
uments have been sent to Posen.
The Polish minister to Germany told
the Associated Press today he had re-
ceived no such reports and that he
considered them incredible"
Version Exaggerated.
New York, June 19.-The alarming
VIEWS from Beflln concerning reported
conditions on the Polish front are not
shared by the official Polish bureau of
information here, which stated today
that its dispatches from Warsaw
showed the Polish front was being
strongly held, some $50 to 400 miles east
OF Warsaw. This. it was pointed out,
made it a physical impossiblity for
Warsaw to be threatened, as the Berlin
reDorts asserted.
The reports are attributed to eXag-
gerated versions of the Polish evacua-
parties to Warsaw,
300 Russ Reds Captured.
London, June 19.-The capture of SOC
Russian bolshevik prisoners and the
occupation of the territory between

Not Receptive Candidate for

Washington, June l9.-Secretary OF
State Colby today announced that the

man of the San Francisco convention
is without foundations II am not even

tarys announcement. The statement
follows:
THE report persists that l am to be
the permanent chairman of the demo-
cratic convention. This report has no
foundation. The organization of the
convention and the choice of its Officers
are matters which the convention itself
will decide. / am not even recep-
tive candidate for the position of per-
manent chairman. There are many
members of the party with much
stronger claims. for the position, and
who richly deserve any honor in its
gift. / am going 10 the convention
with no other thought than to coop
crate heartily with my follow delegates
from the District of Columbia and to
participate in the deliberations of the
convention modestly and, l hope. help
fully. l shall leave at the last possible
moment and return to my duties at
Washington the moment the cohVen-
