Allies Not to
Wage War
Upon Russia
Aid Promised Poland to
Resist Invasion to Be
Of Defensive and Not
Offensive Kind

ParlS, Aug. 9.-The Ameri-
can note regarding the Russian
situation is being delivered to
the French foreign office today,
it was learned in an authorita-
tive quarter here.
Hythe. Eng, Aug. 9-The allied con-
ference here reached complete agree.
ment this morning on plans for dear
ing with the Russo Polish crisis They
include the reomposition of the block
ade and giving support to Poland by
technical advice, supplying munitions,
etc, but no allied troops will be en-
ployed.
1t is said that the allies, though loath
to admit it, feel that there is little
hope of saving Warsaw and that the
question of saving Poland is not the
main issue.
The plans are subject to the approx
al of the British parliament, which
Premier oyd-George will address to-
morrow.
The conference Of the premiers eno-
ed at A p. m.
Await Negotiations.
It is probable, if the plans are ap-
proved that, they will not go into eff
feet until the preliminary results Of
the meeting at Minsk between the So
Wet and Polish negotiators are known.
If they indicate a willingness by the
Russiansto adopt a course considered
reasonable in dealing with the Poles
the allied aid may be withheld.
The British government has decided
that the Russian mission may remain
in London until the Minsk conference
is concluded.
Immediately after the conference
Premier Lloyd George and Foreign
Secretary Curzon took a train for
London, while Premier Millerand and
his party boarded a destroyed bound
for France.
Defend western Empire.
The main problems facing the pre-
miers is the defense of western Europe.
In British and French circles it is de-
clared that the intention of the bolshe-
Wiki regarding Poland is becoming
clearer every hour. The prevailing
among the British and
French officials is that the societ gov
ernment hopes through the Polish Of
fensive firmly to establish bolshevism
at the doors of the western powers.
Having decided that actual war
shall not be waged on Russia, the pre-
miers were confronted with most
difficult problem. 1t is known they
are inclined to give Poland every a'd
W within the limit of this decision. In
both French and British circles here,
however the word defensive is en-
phasized and it is pointed out that
France and Great Britain wish it dis
tinctly understood that they are not
offensive measures.
Premiers in Session.
Marshal Foch and Field Marshal
wilson, with their experts, worked un-
til late hour last night framing their
report.
The conference of premiers was ex-
pected to last until early afternoon.
premier Millerand planned to return
to Paris at 2:30 p. m. while Lloyd
George expectedto go to London later
today.
The optimism of the British, which
was manifest before the conference
began yesterday had given way TO-DAY
10 feeling of extreme uineasiness. and
it was reported that the British pre-
nier was greatly disturbed over the
new developments.
