hythe, Enoiand-The Allied con-
ference here reached a complete
agreement on plans for dealing
with the Russo-Poiish crisis. They
include the reimposltion Of the

ments and followed an official an
nouncement that the Soviet govern
ment had definitely refused ten days
truce, requested by Mr.. Lloyd George
as result of the previous meeting
with the Russian mission headed by
M.@Kameneff and NJ. Krassin.
While there has been no talk of Of
ficially declaring war on Russian, the
Allies have decided to give Poland ali
possible military, naval and economic
assistance without delay.
The premiers received two notes
from Moscow in answer to Mr.. Lloyd
Georges request for true. They
sent another note to the Soviet and
also advised Poland to seek a truce
direct from the Bolsheviki, who indi-
Gated in their refusal Of the truce
that If the request came direct from
the Poles it might have a better
chance Of being granted. One Of the
notes received from the Bolsh eviki
said meeting of the Poles and Rus
slams had been called for Minsk in a
few days and that the Bolsheviki pre-
ferred to make their own arrange

BOOSTING BRYAN

Commoner:
"Bryan is an exemplary citizen. At

tain than to win the personal respect
and esteem Of the people to his own
country?'
And Bryan has the respect and es
TEEN of the people Of Amcrica-yes, of
the entire world-to a greater extent
than that Of any other living man. But
the thing that surprises us is the
change OF the attitude of republican

strates that the man who is fearless
and sincere has the respect even OF
those who do not agree with him.
