CRAVE CRISIS
BEFORE POLES
Delegates Fail to Get Armis-
tice Terms From Soviets
and Are Sent to Warsaw.

All advices today indicate that the
situation in Poland from the Polish
allied standpoint is approaching a
crisis.
The Polish delegation which went
to Baranovitchi to negotiate an
armistice not only failed to obtain
terms from the Russians but were
sent back to Warsaw by the soviet
authorities who demanded that the
emissaries obtain a mandate to take
up peace negotiations.
This will delay even the begin
ming of the armistice negotiations
until tomorrow.
Meanwhile the resistance of the
Polish army which apparently had
been stiffening again has relaxed
under the tremendous pressure of
the bolsheviki. Warsaw, from which
the Russians are only fifty miles
distant, seems critically menaced IL
not doomed to capture. Americans
remaining there have received in
formation that they stay at their
own risk.
Coincident with the serious mill
tary developments comes an an
nouncement from Moscow that a
soviet government has been set up
in portions of Poland which the boil
sheviki have overrun.

Wall p.mr.

Wall papers. to replace tapestries
and other costly wall coverings. were
made possible by the introduction OF
water colors In art. Wall papers were
limited at first to the limitations Of tap

Although there Is evidence that colored
wall papering was done In China at
much earlier period, 1t was not un-
til the eighteenth century that papers
Of this type were introduced In Eu-
rope. The paper for these hangings
was hand made in small sheets (22x34
inches), and was pasted together to
secure the desired length. The colors
were then laid on by stencil or brush
