northeast and east of Warsaw, and
further successes for the Poles are re
ported. The recapture of Sokelow.
Drohiczvn and B,ala, with thousands
of prisoners and great amounts OF
war material, is reported in official
communique. At Siedlce the Poles
captured armed volunteer Jewish de-
tachments, composed of local Com
munists.
To the northwest of Warsaw the
Bolsheviki attacked Plock in a drive
designed TO carry them across the Wis
tula, where there is a pontoon bridge,
but Polish counter stroke broke the
attack. In this operation the Poles
were aided by civilians, who fought
side by side with the infantrymen
A communique announces the re-
pulse by Polish infantry of a detach-
ment of General Budenny's Soviet
cavalry, which had reached Winnik,
nine miles southeast of Lemberg.
Peasants in the region of Lipno,
southeast of Thorn, are reported to be
fighting the Bolsheviki with axes and
scythes. Newspaper accounts of the
operations there say the peasants are
taking no prisoners.

hington.-Exchange are taking
European governments with a view to
determining upon co operation in as
sistings Poland, should that country
be in danger of losing its independ-
ence at the hands of the Soviet gov
ernment at Moscow.
This information, obtained from au-
thoritative sources, shows the United
States is seeking to live up to its
assurance in Secretary Colby's recent
note on the subject of the Polish Rus
sian situation, that the government
would employ "all available means"
to aid the Poles TO maintain their po-
litical and territorial integrity.
A better outlook for an understand
ing between Great Britain, France
and the United States, and, perhaps,
Italy, in dealing with the critical state
OF affairs in Eastern Europe, seems TO
have been produced by the diplomatic
exchanges now in progress.
The impression that the United
States government intends to act
alone in all that it might undertake
to do in behalf of Poland has been
dissipated by its course in connection
with the Colby note. 1t is now clear
that the government is not opposed
to some arrangement by which the
principal powers, interested in the
preservation of the new Polish state,
will act in concert to that end.

vague and scant news reaching Paris
the Poles are making a good fight, but
seemingly all they can hope for is to

The Reds are continuing to advance

10 miles from the capital.

The Bolsheviki launched their first
attack against Warsaw's defenses, but
were repulsed. The Bolsheviki, after
light artillery preparation, attempted
to break through the Polish lines in
the region OF RadZymin The Poles
not only killed many who neared the
barbed wire entanglements, but took
some prisoners.

Following the refusal of the opera

equalize the day laborers pay with

matter might possibly be referred to

that it be left to a recognized coal
commission, either the commission
which made the award last spring or
new one. Members of the Joint
