ing excused on challenges by the de-
fense.

POLAND REPLIES TO THE
AMERICAN NOTE

Washington, Sept. 2.-Poland has
answered the admonition of the
United States that the Polish armies
halt at the photographic frontier of
Poland, with the statement that
strategic considerations must gov
ern Poland's course.
Formal reply from Warsaw to the
recent American note was handed to
thes tate department yesterday by
the Polish minister. While official
commen was lacking, it was learned
today that the Warsaw government
although expressing agreement
with the American contention that
Russian territory should be re-
speed, pointed out that it was
forced to consider serious conse-
quences which might result should
the Polish counter offensive against
the Soviet armies stop at a fixed
line without satisfactory guarantees
from Soviet authorities.
The Polish note, it is understood,
calls attention to the fact that Po-
lands front had been violated by
the Bolsheviki in the drive toward
Warsaw, although the British gov
ernment had called upon Soviet
forces to halt at the photographic
boundaries of Poland.
Qualification at the position taken
by the Unied States in the note to
Italy on the Russian Polish situation
is expressed by the Polish govern
ment in the communication present.
ed by Prince Lubomirski, the Polish
minister, the second part Of which
lis devoted to discussion Of the sug-
gestions made to Poland announce
her intention to halt the counter Of
fensive on the line fixed by the su-
preme council as the photographic
boundary of that country.

REPLY FROM POLAND
QUITE SATISFACTORY
Washington's Suggestion to Warsaw
That Position of Not Trans
crossing Russian Territory
Be Made Clear

Washington, Sept. 2.-Entire
satisfaction was expressed today by
safe department officials with the
formal reply of the Polish govern
ment to the American note request
ing a Polish declaration to abstain
from transgression of Russian ter
ritory.
Poland is understood to have re-
piled that strategic consideration;
must govern the halting of her ar
mics in their pursuit of the Bolshe-
Wiki at the frontier line now POLAND
tentatively fixed by the supreme
council. Suggestions had been made
by the American government in Its
note that Poland make clear that
her interests toward Russia were
not imperialistic and that her ar
mics should not advance beyond the
ethnographic line laid down by the
supreme council.
The reply of the Polish govern
ment was delivered to the state de-
partment yesterday by the Polish
minister, Prince Lubomirski. An
nouncement was made at the state
department late today that Amerl-
can and Polish notes would be
made public public at once, but this
plan was cancelled later, the reason
not being given.
The first portion of the reply con-
sists of an expression of gratitude
of the Polish government at the at
titude assumed by the United States
in the American note to the Italian
ambassador on the Russo-Pollsh
situation. The second portion, which
is a memorandum addressed to the
ambassador and which also was de-
liyered to the state department,
serves as the specific reply Of the
Polish government to the American
note. While insisting that the Polish

by the release of three men, who
admitted in court they had framed
the theft of a car. The insurance
was to be collected by the owner,
while the "stolen car" was to be

split. The men were freed with re-
primand. Insurance companies will

such practices.

government is in entire accord with
the United States in the contention
that Russian territory should be re-
spected, the note declares that
Poland is forced to consider the
serious consequences likely to en-
sue from the abandonment of the
present offensive against the Boil
sheviki upon a fixed line without
satisfactory guarantee.
Officials of the state department
have described the position of the
United States towards the Polish
advance as midway between that
of France and Great Britain" The
position of Great Britain is under
stood to be that the Polish armies
should Immediately malt upon the
frontier line now reached, while
France has contended that the ar
mics should advance until strate-
gic point beyond the line was at
tanned. 1t is believed that the Uni
ted States now takes the position
that the Polish armies may continue
to press their attacks upon the Boil
sheviki even if the frontier line
should be crossed so long as as
surances are Forthcoming that Po-
lands intentions toward Russia are
not imperialistic and that her ar
mics would be withdrawn later to
the line when all danger from a
Bolshevik offensive has passed.

made a most effective one when he

statement to the press in Anderson

heir choice for Harris for solicitor
and that his resignation was not
from a feeling of bitterness, but
that he wanted to be relieved of the
