BOLSHEvIKI NEAR
GERMAN BORDER
Soviet Forces Are Now Only
Forty Miles From Prus-
sian Line.
WARSAW FACES A COLLAPSE
Berlin Is Rushing Troops to the Bor-
der-"I'Il Talk Armistice In War;
saw" Declares New Leader
of the Red Armies.

Berlin, July 24.-Scouting detach-
ments of the soviet armies are report
ed within about forty miles of the
German border, and it is expected
Trotzky's cavalry will be at the East
Prussian border in 4S hours. Coinci-
dentally with this advance the north
wing of the Polish army is being COM
pletely turned.
Fear of a soviet sweep across the
border has intensified the clamor for
a German army of defense, while the
radical element in East Prussia are
looking toward cooperation with the
bolsheviki. German military experts
call Trotzky's army the most powerful
war machine in the world.
The German minister of defense is
already placing detachments Of reichs-
wehr at exposed points in East Prus-
sia.
I'll talk armistice, terms with you
in Warsaw"
With these words "Comrade" Tuch-
echewski, the young generalissimo of
the soviet forces, who has replaced
General Brusiloff, dismissed Polish
white flag mission which demanded
cessation of hostilities in accordance
with the British proposal.
Paris, July 24.-The allies have de-
cided to take measures preparatory to
giving military aid to Poland, If that
should prove necessary, it was learned
here.
A French mission headed by Jules
]. Jusserand, French ambassador to
the United States, who is home on
leave, with General Weygand, right
hand man of Marshal Foch, and NJ
Vignon, close collaboration with Pre-
mier Millerand, left for Warsaw to
arrange for prompt succor to the
Poles.
On the same train and with the
same object there was a British
mission, headed by Lord Abernon, Brit
ish ambassador at Berlin, General
Radcliffe and Sir Maurice Hankey.
These missions, it is learned, have
full authority to say to the Poles that
whatever aid is needed, whether mill
tary or financial, or in the nature Of
supplies, will be forthcoming if the
Russian bolsheviki persist in a desigr
to march into distinctive Polish terri
tory.
1t is stated unof1icially, but on higl
authority, that this means help fol

are required.

The territory gained by Lithuania
under the new treaty, it was said at
the legation, represents all that it
sought on racial grounds. Natural
boundary lines are effected by putting
the line along the rivers. Only about
twenty miles of boundary on the Po-
lish frontier remain to be settled, it
was said, before all the limits of
