 London, July 12.-Further official confirmation was given today that the allies had made proposals to the Russian soviet government for an immediate armistice on equitable terms between Poland and Russia This confirmation was given in the house of commons by Andrew Bonar- law, government spokesman.
 MT. Bonar Law declared the soviet government had accepted Great Brit aims terms for a resumption of trade between Great Britain and Russia.
 When asked to state the terms of the trade agreement MT. Bonar Law declined except to say that the mes- sage to Moscow dealing with the Polish armistice dealt also with the question of trade negotiations.
 The question was raised whether the allies had threatened to defend Poland if the soviet government de- clined an armistice. Mir. Bonar Law would not give the details regarding this contingency, but he did say that the British negotiations did not involve recognition of the soviet gov ernment.

Who will have to stand the loss is
the question Judge Craig will have to
decide in the case of the Sanitary
Can company OF New jersey against
the National Pickle and Canning COM
ipany of Keokuk, now on trial in the

This case grows out Of the opera

carload Of cans shipped by the can
company, which draft had bill OF
ilading attachde, and which it was to
deliver to the pickle company upon
payment of the draft. The bank nc.
cepted the check of the pickle COM
pany and marked the draft paid, and
delivered same with the papers at.
tached to the pickle company. which
took possession Of and used the cans.
On the next day the bank failed
and having failed to remit for the
draft because of insufficient funds in
the bank, the can company is now
suing the pickle company for the
value Of the cans
The case is a peculiar one and
Ibristles with propositions Of banking
law which Judge Craig will have to
determine.
| Incidentally It was disclosed that
the bank in New Jersey which for.
warded the draft to the Sage Banking
Co, filed their claim in bankruptcy
against D. Fl. Sage and received in
dividends from the bankrupt estate
the sum of $591.44 which it tenders
to the pickle company under the claim
that the dividends belong to the
pickle company, which they contend
should be compelled to pay for the
cans, Notwithstanding the actions of
