message from Warsaw. filed last night,
says the Poles have evacuated Ostrov,
between the Bug and the Narew rivers,
twenty-five miles southwest OF Lomza
and about ffty-tive miles northeast of
Warsaw
The dispatch declares that Polish
officials believe that the present rate

the Russians into Warsaw in seven to
ten days.

the Soviet troops crossed to the right

Our advance is continuing. Bushatch

While the actual military situation
in Poland is not much clearer than it
was yesterday, it is admitted to be
critical. Reports, however, are in some
respects so contradictory that the pre-

cannot be estimated.

this opinion is agitated not only against
the Bolsheviki, but against Germany
and England. The Temps" accuses
England of temporizing in the present
critical situation just as she did in
August. 1914.
"If England had then taken her
stand against Germany u week before,
who knows whether war would have re-
sulted?" it asks. The paper makes
strong objection to the speech of Herr
Slmons, Germany's Foreign Minister
IN the Reichsrat, in which he stated that
Germany intended to see that her ncu-
trallty was not violated 1t says: "Judg
lng from a resume OF the speech received
IN Paris, Simons used singularly grave
and threatening language"
The German Foreign Minister said
the situation was strained. He let it
be understood that if France wished
to violate German neutrality. Germany
would prepare to defend tsrsolf bv
force. The Temps" comments: -Four
teen months after the signing Of the
Treaty of Versailles, after Germany
has violated SO many of her engage
ments, after deserving so many pun
lshments and receiving so many con
cessions, this is the tone the Berlin
government adopts.'
"Why does Germany, which continual
ly IS eVoliing her fecbleness and state
Of ruin, now dare to use threats ?''
asks the Temps" "It is because the
German government has a pact with
the Bolsheviki With their aid she
considers herself stronger than the AL
hes. Why also do the Bolsheviki at
tach so little Importance to the rela-
tlonship they succeeded in establish
ing with England? There is only one
explanation. The Bolsheviki have a
pact with Germany, and with her help
tney consider themselves stronger than
the Allies
The Temps concludes: "There is
no longer any use saying: Let us pre-
vent the German government allying
itself with Soviet Russia This ALI

BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The advance of
the Russians in Poland has provoked
grave uneasiness on the part of the
German government, which foresces the
possibility that the Allies may de-
mand authorization for the TRANSPORT
Of troops across German territory.
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs. in
speech before the Reichstag yester-
day, gave expression to the govern
ment's alarm. The address made SEN
sation in the Chamber and the excited
deputies collected IN the corridors to
discuss it. The scenes enacted re-
called those of August six years ago.
1t was regarded as significant that all
parties from the Junkers to the Com
munists applauded the Minister'S dec
laratlons, which were also indorsed
by the newspapers.
'Norwaerts," the moderate Socialist
newspaper, says the situation is grave
because France is concentrating troops
on the left bank of the Rhine and in
tends to try to transport them through
Germany. "Germany's Neutrality
Threatened' is the headline in huge
type published by the extreme Social
ist paper, "Freiheit." The "Bcrlinor
Tageblatt" says the Foreign Minister'S
declarations changed the parliamentary
situation with lightning like rapidity.
1t declares all Germany stands united
IN resistance to any attempt to violate
its neutrality.
The German labor organizations are
marshalling their forces to declare a
general strike and TO bring economic
and industrial machinery to a standstil
If Germany is asked to allow troops to
be transferred across her frontier The
German railway workers union has
given strict orders that only regular
trains should be operated. Public eX-
element here is very great
BERLIN, Aug. (By The Associated
P'ress).-The excitement concerning
the possibility of france sending
troops through Germany to the aid Of
Poland is subsiding. Konstantin Feb
renbach, the Chancellor, is going to his
home in Freiburg and DR.. Walter ST.
mons, the Foreign Minister intends to
proceed to Switzerland unless there
are untoWard Developments in the stu
alton.
The belief prevails here that neither
the Chancellor nor the Foreign Minis
ter would leave Berlin if the situation
were as critical as the speech Of Dr.
Slm0ns in the Reichstag Thursday
seemed to indicate.

those governments. Strong intima-
tions were made by department off,
cials to-day that substantial British
and Fpench aid already has reached
the Polish armies, and that the stiffen-
ing Of the Polish lines is due to mill
tary help from Great Britain and
France.
The determination of the Polish
government not to be stampeded into
an unnecessarily hurried exit from
Warsaw and to resist to the utmost
the Bolshevik offensive that continues
to be directed against the capital de-
spite the Polish readiness for an armis
tce was indicated in dispatch re-
ceived to-day by the State Department
from the American Legation in War
saw.
The dispatch, dated August 3, showed
that the Polish government, while not
overlooking the possible necessity of
cvacuating the old capital, was firm
in its purpose to fight the enemy to
the last.
The departments information tended
to indicate that the Bolsheviki were
purposely avoiding definite commit
ments with respect to the opening of
armistice negotiations to prolong the
hostilites and carry the fighting
Reds Unwilling to Treat
The Polish Foreign Office on the
night of August received report
from the Polish armistice delegates
that the Bolsheviki would take up the
question of peace at n conference at
Minsk on August 4, but that the Boil
shevlki were not willing to begin
armistice negotiations. This new
proposition brought halt to the plans
for consideration of suspension of hos
tilities, as the delegation appointed by
the Polish government was not cmpow-
cred to conclude peace.
Information under date Of August 4
Indicated that the Bolshoviki, follow
ing their occupation of Brest-Ltovsk
and Lomza, continued the advance to-
ward Warsaw, as already indicated in
press dispatches.
The American Legation has been
busted night and day answering in
quiries of Americans and others who
have come to the legation in large
numbers.

of the Russian and Polish peoples"
The conference in London between
Russia and the leading powers of the

would have for its object the regu-
larization of the international position
OF Russia and the settlement of all
outstanding questions between her and
the Allies for the benefit of general

upon Russia, the patent facts Of sys-
tematlc and uninterrupted assistance
to Poland on the part of France. and
the presence on the right wing of the
Polish army of the troops Of General

French government. render it a matter
of necessity for the Russian Soviet
government to demand the inclusion in

of such reasonable guarantees as would
prevent all attempts on the part of
Poland to use the almstice period for
the renewal of hostile acts against

With regard to the proposed London
peace conference the note says in sub
stance that the Soviet government had
proposed that the conference be only
With the leading powers of the En-
tsnte, because the usefulness of such
a conference arose from the fact that
without the assistance of the leading
powers war could not be waged by
other states against Russia, and so the
peace of Europe would be guaranteed.
