possible that three months from now

THE Germans signed the Spa agree

to mention the threat of lBolshevism.
That danger is more apparent every
day.
THE Allies have not been able to
fight the danger OF Bolshevism. They
have not been able to localize 1t. They
have not been able to negotiate with

REDS BRING UP BIG GUNS
FOR ATTACK ON WARSAW

WARSAW. Aug. 11.--Following a
series of thrusts and cavalry raids,
the Russians are now developing their
main attack again Warsaw, despite
the fact that armistice and peace ne
gotiations are scheduled to begin at
Minsk tomorrow.
Masses of Russian cavalry are now
moving down the east Prussian from
tier and have reached Przasnysz
(Which was capturedl, Ciechanow and
Mlava,. the object being to cut the
Warsaw-Dantzig Railway. The Rus
SLAMS are bringing up guns to the
front
The aim OF the Russian operation
is to outfiank Warsaw from the north
west by a bold sweep across the Vis-
tula River.
General Budenny's red cavalry army
is developing a new push, moving far
in advance of the Russian infantry.
Four Polish armies are engaged In
the defense OF Warsaw and armored
trains are playing an important part
in the efforts to stem the Russian
advance.
The Poles occupy strong positions
along the Nistula west OF this city
and the army command reports that
the Polish army in the west "can hold
out indefinitely"
1t is believed that the Russians will
attempt to advance westward in the
direction OF Thorn.
Between the Bug and Narew rivers
the Poles are resisting with epic gal
lantry and violent fighting is raging
over that section of the front.
There is no change on the battle
front in Galicia.

the institutions and laws Of coun-
tries with which it was at peace.
which would be an abuse of friend
ship to which enlightened govern
ments cannot subject themselves.
In the view OF this Government
there cannot be any common ground
upon which it can stand with
power whose conceptions Of inter-
national relations are so entirely
alien to it's own, so utterly repug-
nant to its moral sense. There
can be no respect even IL pledges
are to be given and agreements
made with a cynical reputation OF
their obligations already in the mind
of one of the parties. We cannot
recognize, hold official relations
with or give friendly reception to
the agents OF a government which
is determined and bound to conspire
against our institutions, whose Dip
lomats will be the agitators OF dam
gerous revolt, whose spokesmen
say that they sign agreements with
no intention Of keeping them.
FOR JOINT DECLARATION.
To summarize the position OF this
Government, / would say, therefore
in response to your Excellency's in
quiry. that it would regard with
satisfaction a declaration by the
allied and associated powers that
the territorial integrity and true
boundaries OF Russia shall be re-
spected. These boundaries properly
should include the whole of the
former Russian Empire, with the
exception OF Finland proper. ethnic
Poland and such territory as may
by agreement form a part of the
Armenian state.
The aspirations of these nations
for independence are legitimate.
Each was forcibly annexed. and
their liberation from oppressive
alien rule involves no aggressions
against Russia's territorial rights,
and has received the sanction OF
the public opinion OF all free
peoples Such a declaration pre-
supposes the withdrawal of all
foreign troops from the territory
embraced by these boundaries. and
in the opinion of this Government
should be accompanied by the an.
nouncement that no transgression
by Poland, Finland or any other
power. of the line so drawn and
proclaimed will be permitted.
Thus only can the Bolshevist
regime be deprived OF its false, but
effective, appeal to Russian nation
alism and compelled to meet the In
evitable challenge OF reason and
self-respect which the Russian
people. secure from invasion and
territorial violation, are sure to ad-
dress to a social philosophy that
degrados them and a tyranny that
oppresses them.
The policy herein outlined will
command the support OF this Gov
ernment.
Accept. Excellency, the renewed
assurances OF my highest consider
alton.

msno Avezzans, AmbSsaador OF

concludes:
After reading the declarations OF

observer is forced to the conclusion
that both candidates believe the
railroads should be given pretty
much what they want in the way

DENOUNCEs PRESENT REGIME.
While the note is vitrioT1c in its de-
nunciation of the present regime in
Russia, IL also strikes At those VINO
may be regarded as not caring Tor
the interests Of the Russian. people
and those nations which have openly
or by indirection accepted the part-
tion OF Russia into independent states.
The note emphasizes that the United
States has not extended recognition
to the independent" states such as
Lithuania the Baltic states and the
so called republics" OF Georgia and
Azerbeijan. The United States has
failed to recognize these states be-
cause II regards them as indicating
the dismemberment Of Russia, to
which this government is unaiterably
opposed. This statement OF policy Is
directly opposite to that which mas
been pursued by Premier Lloyd
George Of Great Britain and other
European >statesmen who have en-
couraged the formation of iDdepepd-
ent states and who are reported to
have extended promises OF support to
them In exchange for concessions.
While advocating that 'the terri
torial integrity and true boundaries
of Russia shall be respected" the
American Government will insist
upon the same unequivocal ground
with regard to Polish integrity. the
note declares.
READY TO BACK UP STAND.
The United States is determined to
employ "all available means" to back
up its policy stated in the note, the
document declared. While no indi-
cations are given in the note as to the
character of the available means Of
support the United States Is prepared
to give Poland. IT is believed the state
paper makes it clear that this Gov
ernment has no contemplation of mill
tary aid, but will use semi litsry
means Of aiding Poland in the imme-
date crisis that nation is facing.
A shaft at japan Is seen by many
in that portion OF the note which ce-
clares that this Government favors
the withdrawal of all foreign troops
from the territory embraced by these
(Russian) boundaries" This state
ment is believed to be aimed at the
Japanese occupation of Siberia.
The document Is understood to have
been the joint work OF President Will

BERLIN. Aug. 1.-THE German
government 10 awaiting with interest
the arrival here OF Wigdor Kopp, the
Soviet representative from Moscow.
He is en- route from the Russian capi-
tai and is expected Saturday.
He is known to be bringing highly
important communications and per
haps history making decisions by the
Soviet government. With his return
TO Berlin the Russo-German relations
will become more clearly defined with
all indications pointing to their enter
ing on a distinctly new stage.
Despite the dangers attendant on
the several points of high tension in
the last ten days and the uncertain
ties there Is for the first time since
the armistice something like a feeling
of satisfaction in Germany, due to the
assurance that her position is strong,
becoming stronger daily and is still
In the European political ring.
BLOCKADE NOT FAVORED.
That feeling has been instilled by
: the Russian defeat OF Poland, by the
proximity of the Russian armies to
Germany. and the fact that the En-
: tente seemed unable to do anything
against Russia. together with the re-
markable unanimity of the German
political parties from the Communists
TO the Reactionaries II il becomes
necessary to fight against an allied
violation of German neutrality.
1t is openly professed that there is
no fear of a blockade of Germany as
the harvest is good. 1t is also pro-
fessed that Great Britain knows full
well that a blockade would automati-
oally throw Russia and Germany to-
gether.
The demands voiced in the French
press for the occupation of the Ruhr
Valley have met with the assertion
that the French would not get a ton
Of coal II this occurred and that with
the aid of Russia. Germany would
again obtain the Upper Silesian mines.
Just as the Soviets rejected the
British intervention. and insisted that
the Russo-Polish peace negotiations
were a family affair and the business
of nobody else, there is a belief here
that Moscow will take a similar stand
in shaping Russo-German relations.
FEELING AGAINST FRANCE.
1t is evident on every hand now
that the Allies. making Germany
knuckle>down at the Spa conference.
instilled the thought in wide circles,
hitherto antagonistic, that there are
worse evils than q condition of quasi
Bolshevism.
Through playing up the press re-
ports Of the cruelties visited on the
Germans in the East by the Poles. and
dwelling on the occupation of Saar by
the French with alleged atrocities
perpetrated by the colored troops. a
strong feeling is being built up.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Great Britain
has decided to mark time" pending
the outcome Of the negotiations be-
tween Polish and Russian ENJOYS
which are scheduled to open at Minsk
tomorrow. The Russo-Polish pleni-
.potentiaries, according to reports
from Warsaw, will discuss both arm
istice terms and the preliminaries to
peace.
Interest today centered upon the
statement in the house of commons
this afternoon by Premier Lloyd
George, detailing the results of the
Hythe conference. 1t was learned
from a source close to Downing street
that the premier would ask commons s
to suspend judgment on the Russo
Polish situation until the outcome of
the Minsk meeting Is known. 1t was
expected that the statement would be
long, recounting the various steps
to bring about peace in Eastern Eu-
rope and to prevent another war from
sweeping the continent.
LABOR MAKES PROTEST..
A labor delegation called upon
Premier Lloyd George this morning
and protested against any war-like
action against Russia. The delega-
tion agreed to do nothing Vptil after
the premiers speech, and provision
was made for them to be present in
the house of commons this evening.
British officials are united in ex-
pressing that a solution OF the
troublesome Polish question is nearer
at hand than it was a week. go, de-
spite the fact thstithe Russian Red
army Is still advancing oh Warsaw.
Moscow is reported to be ready to
reduce the Russian army when Polish
demobilixation takes place. with
drawing the Red forces. in the mean
time, from the territory they have
occupied in Poland.
One demand by Moscow is that the
allies compel General WrangeIs anti
Bolshevik army in southern Russia to
withdraw. Moscow. it is said, is not
insisting upon the surrender of Gen
eral Wraneers forces. but only seeks
to have them retire from the. Crimean
front where hghting has been in
progress for several weeks.

army on the Crimean front, as the

stated at the foreign office today.
This decision, ii was said, resulted
from the military successes OF Cen
