Allies Send Supplies
AS bearing on the military situa-
tion. it develops that vast stocks of
munitions from THE allies are moving
toward Warsaw today from Danzig,
on the Baltic. and from Rumania and
Czechoslovakia. These munitions were
for the most part originally dis
patched for the army of General
Denikine but were delayed on the
way until too late to be available for
his use. The munitions being sent
from Danzig, however were shipped
recently for the especial use Of Po-
land. Other munitions are expected
to be in process Of shipment from
France and Great Britain for Poland
within a few days.
Hungary has asked permission of
Great Britain and France to attack
the soviet army. Such an attack would
involve permission, likewise, to re-
organize the Hungarian army. the

cessions in the terms of the treaty by
way of amelioration.

mania, Hungary were all anxious to
make common cause against the boil
sheviki now rather than be compell-
ed later to defend themselves indi-
vidually. To this end, it is declared,
the four countries named are maxi
ing overtures to France and Great
Britain for support. moral and 9TH

have in hand to play If necessary in
order to save Poland.
