night there had been no response
from Moscow to a wireless dispatch
naming the newspaper correspondents
who were to accompany the Polish

not be permitted to go to the front
unless word allowing them to travel

Reds Expect Acceptance.
MOSCOW, August 1.-THE general
impression in semi-official circles
here is that Poland will accept the
armistice terms to be presented by
the Russian delegation which has
control of rehabilitation and execu-
ton of the terms by commissions to
include representatives of trades
unions, industrial workers and farm
laborers is believed to be not lncon-
sistent with the plan proposed by the
Polish government that a constituent
assembly be called to consider peace
with Russia.
Think Danger Ii Past.
PARIS, August 14.-Tension be-
tween the French and British govern
ments is rapidly abating. in the
opinion of most of the newspapers
here. The situation which arose
through the recognition of Gen. Baron
Wrangel as head of the south Russian
government is so improved that. ac-
cording to. lHomme- Libre. another
meeting of Premiers Milierand and
Lloyd George at Boulogne will be
unnecessary.
One of the circumstances which
may best favor a resumption of close
collaboration between France and
England. says the Petit Parisien, is
the agreement now realized between
France and the United States on the
Russian question. The Echo de Paris
voices the same opinion.
..Bolshevism is an; enemy" the
newspaper continues. and England
knows that perfectly. The only ques-
tions involved are those of tactics
and not sentiment. These may sepa-
rate her from Frances but the voice
from overseas reminds her with spe-
cial force of European duty. and 1t
will help to efface all Emergencies
between France and her allies.
The Figaro says the Washington
note relative to Russia has had sew
erai good effects, in that it has
brought moral aid to Poland and
cleared up the diplomatic situation.
