London. July 20.-The reply Of the
Russian Soviet government to the
British note concerning an armistice
with Poland rejects in substance the

The Bolsheviki decline to com to
London for the suggested peace con-

cause they say Great Britain Is not I'M
partial. They also object to the ad-
mission to the conference of delegates
from the Baltic states, saying Russia

The Bolsheviki reply refuses fatty
ito entertain any conditions regarding
tho forces Of General Wrangel and the
refugees in South Russia and demands
the unconditional surrender of these.
The tone Of the reply is sarcastic,
says the Times, which declares 1t is
/. aimed at driving a wedge between
Poland and the Allies by stimulating
Polish dissatisfaction with the British
proposal. The Times adds that 1t be-
lieves the reply will make 1t more

The speaker said that although spiritu-

absolute compelling theory. He paid his
tributes to those who further the claims

The extent TO which the Secretary of the

port of the Board of Nava, Awards was
disclosed today by the publication of a
complete list of the recommendations made
by superior officers with the action taken
upon them by the Board. The list, made
public bs the Navy Department, shows
that Mr.. Daniels ignored many of the rec
concentrations made, not only by Rear Ad-
miral Sims, but by all other officers
Many high ranking officers recommended
for the Distinguished Service Medal were
arbitrarily given the Navy Cross. Hun
dreds recommended for the Navy Cross
were given nothing at ALL In only a few
instances did the Secretary designate for
honors officers or men who had not been
recommended by the Board.
Rear Admiral Welles, recommended for
the Distinguished Service Medal, was given
only a Navy Cross, although the recon-
mendation was approved by the Board Of
Awards. Others who met the same fate
are Rear Admiral Nathaniel II. Usher. for
