 PARIS. Aug. 27-Bolshevik batteries stationed on German soil have fired on Polish troops, said Polish official communique yesterday. The statement follows:
 'On the northern front. in the sec tors occupied by the First and Fifth armies, the situation is unchanged. During the process of cleaning up ter ritory between Mlawa and Ciechanow. we made 3,000 prisoners, stragglers from remnants of the bolshevik troops.
 In the center of the front there re- main d few thousand Russian troops who are retreating toward the Ger man frontier, fighting desperately. Tn this sector we noted that our troops were fired upon from batteries and from machine guns which bolshevik troops had installed in German terri tory.
 "on the Kolno Myszyniec road we captured six cannon and 10 machine guns In Kobryn Pass we took HOO prisoners, including full staff of the bolshevik -Thirty-seventf division, with four canon and F machine guns.
 "On the southern front, east of Leon pol. bitter fighting is in progress" 
 PARIS, Aug. 27-(By the Associated Press)-The Poles continue to ad- vance along the east Prussian iron tier. Notwithstanding all their efforts, the red commanders have failed to in- still in the bolshevik troops enough courage or energy to resist the Poles, who after a, few hours of almost de- sultory fighting. took possession of the Ossovetz, forts, opened a passage across the Bobr marshes and reached the Augustowo Lakes east of the East Prussian frontier, thus gaining com mand of the whole of the southern side of that frontier as far as Augustowo. The reds driven back on the line of Augustowo- -Grodno are in a good de- fensive position on account of the for ests and marshes which cover it. It is difficult for the Poles to attack front ally owing to the nature of the ground and that the Hanks of the enemy rest on the west of the German frontier and east on the Nieman river. The soviet forces are concentrating in this region with the object of stopping the Poles from extending their line eastward.
