The reply OF the Polish government was
delivered to the state department yes-

LubomrslU
The first portion Of tho reply consists
'of an expression Of gratitude of the
Polish government at the attitude as
sumed by the United states in tho Amer'-

the Russo-Poish situation. The second
portion, n memorandum addressed to
Prince Lumbomirski, serves as tho specific
reply of the Polish government to the
American note.
While insisting the Polish government
is In entire accord with the United States
in the contention that Russian territory
should be respected, the note declares that
