FOR VOLUNTEERS
AGAINST NRANGEL
SAYS Fate of Revolution VIII
Be Decided in
Poland
CALL BY RED CHIEF
GIcats Over British Labor Agitation
-Minimizes Army Check at War
saw-Tw0 Polish Fronts.

Moscow, Aug. l9.-.LeCn Trotzky.
Sovie, Minister CT War. today issued
a call fer volunteers for service on the
southern front. The call was issued in
he course of an address at an opera
house meeting here in honor Of Bella
Kun. Communist leader and former
Foreign Minister Of Hungary.
In an address before the Moscow
Soviet, Trotzky pronounced Soviet
Russ:a's position on both the Polish
and South Russian fronts generally
satisfactory"
Discussing the military situation,
Trotzky declared that ION the front
against White Poland our Red troops
have fulfilled the fundamental part of
their task. The holding up of our adj
vanced troops before Warsaw IN no
way alters the state Of affairs. all the
more as The Polish front is now Ovid
ed into two parts-mil!tary and Dip
omatic-and possesses two centres
one in Warsaw and other in Minsk.
The peace negotiations at Minsk
are of exceptional Importance, con-
tinucd the War Minister, because
they are developing on the unstable
foundation of stormy movement
among the workers. Great Britain al
50 is passing through an urheard Of
display Of excitement among her
workers in connection with the peace
negotiations between Russia and Po-
land.
"On General Wrangel's front he
added, eve are opening the gates wide
to our enemies. but we shall assault
them in the flank and rear. The fate
of the revolution will be decided on
the Polish front. This is why we have
concentrated our forces in the west
and are only leaving posts on the
south front in order to held up Wran-
gels advance
