PEACE IN EUROPE
SOUGHT BY BRITISH
PROPOSE SIMULTANEOUS ARMl-
STlcE ON BOTH THE POLISH
AND THE. SOUTH FRONTS.
Soviet Is Warned That Unless Hostili.
ties Cease, Great Britain and Its
Allies VIII Feel Bound to As
sist the Polish Nation.

London. Great Britain, in It's re-
cent note to the Russ$ln soviet gov
eminent, besides proposing an armi-
stice between the Bolsheviki and Po-
land, also made proposal that an
armistice be arranged simultaneously
with General Wrangel, anti-Bolshevik
leader on the southern front, Andrew
Bonar Law announced in the house
of commons on Wednesday.
1t is proposed by Great Britain that
an immediate armistice be signed be-
tween Poland and soviet Russia, under
which hostilities shall be suspended.
That the terms of this armistice pro-
vide, on the one hand, that the Polish
army shall Immediately withdraw to
the lines Professionally laid down last
year by the peace conference as to
the eastern boundary to which Poland
Is entitled to establish Polish admin
istration.
On the other hand, the armistice
should provide tha' the army of soviet
Russia should sta.id at a distance of
fifty kilometers east of this line. In
eastern Galicia each army will stand
on the line they occupy at the date
of the signature of the armistice.
That as soon as possible thereafter
a conference, sitting under the aus
pieces of the peace conference, shall
assemble in London, to be attended by
representatives of soviet Russia, Po-
land, Lithuania, Letvia and Finland,
with the object of negotiating final
peace between Russia and its neigh
boring states. Representative of east
ern Galicia also would be invited to
London to state their case.
The British government has bound
itself to give no assistance to Poland
for any purpose hostile to Russia and
to take no action itself hostile to
Russia. 1t is, however, bound under
the covenant of the, league of nations
to defend the integrity of Poland with
In its legitimate ethnographical from
tiers.
If, therefore the soviet Russia, de-
spite its repeated declarations, will
not be content with the withdrawal
of the Polish army on the condition
of IA mutual armistice, but intends to
take action hostile to Poland in Po-
lands own territory, the British gov
eminent and its allies will feel bound
to assist the Polish nation to defend
its existence with all means at their
disposal.

London.-Prince Joachim, youngest
son of the former kaiser, fatally shot
himself at Potsdam, July IS, accord
ing to dispatch to the Daily Express.
The prince was hurried to a hospital
where he died four hours later. The
princes wife had left him last year.
In the last two years Joachim's
name has figured in stories about
Swiss gambling resorts where he play
ed fast and loose with whatever rem
nants of an unearned fortune he could
lay his hands on. Not long after the
revolution that made an end of kaiser

he was caught in the radical upheaval
that swept Munich; his wife was with
him at the time, the two being engag-
