PARIS, Aug. 1S.-Warsaw now
seems 10 be safe from the bolshe-
Wiki. Pres't Pilsudsky's armies no
longer are obliged 10 fight a defen-

on both wings has reached the first
detectives of the Poles and appear
TO be pausing before attemI ting 10

The offensive on the left wing is
being personally led by the French
generals Henry and Billotte and al
ready has yielded important results.

rev and Bug rivers-While the for
ces advancing toward Milawa, which
have reached Tsiechanon, u miles
20 the south of Mlawa, will force
the bolsheviki marching toward
PloCk and Thorn TO beat a hasty
retreat and consequently reopen the

NIancuvcr Interesting.

But the maneuver on the right
wing, along the line of Garvolin ar
Paratchoff. between the Vistula and
the Bug is the more interesting Of
the two from the strategic view

forces. Swelled by troops freed by
shortening the front in the Brody
