State

PARIS, July 30.-The limitations
which Great Britain and France
would put upon soviet demands of
Poland in the arranging of an armi-
stice are set forth in a notifica-
ton which has been dispatched to
the Warsaw government by the
British and French governments, 1t
was learned here today. Poland re-
quested the views of Great Britain
and France on possible armistice
terms, and the governments at Lon
don and Paris have notified the
Polish government that they will not
permit Poland to accept possible
soviet armistice demands involving:
First-Whole or partial disarwa-
ment of Poland;
Second-A change in the Polish
system of government dictated or
brought about by. the soviets;
Third-Acceptance by Poland Of I
boundary line less favorable than
that Professionally drawn by Premier
Lloyd George
Fourth-The use Of Poland as a

Germany and Russia.
Mun1tions Sent to Poland
AS bearing on the military situa-
ton, it develops that vast stocks of
munitions from the allies are NOV
Ing toward Warsaw from Danzig
and from Rumania and Czecho-Slo-
vakia. These munitions were for the
or-t icjr 4 %0l,
the army Of General Denikine, but
were delayed on the way until too
late to be available for his use. The
munitions being sent from Danzig,
however, were shipped recently for
the especial use, of Poland. Other
munitions are expected to be in pro-
cess of shipment from France and
few days. 4
Hungary has asked the permission
Of Great Britain and France to at
tack the soviet army. Such an at
tack would involve permission, like
wise, to reorganize the Hungarian
army, the rehabilitation of. which
was provided for by the Hungarian
peace treaty.
The allies are hesitating over
Hungary's request, according to a
high, French official, because they
fear Hungary would expect too many
concessions in the terms Of the
treaty by way of amelioration.
To Make Common Cause
In, formation which has reached
the French government was said to-
day to reveal that Letvia, Finland,
Rumania and Hungary were all anx-
ious to make common cause against
the Bolsheviki now rather than be
compelled later to defend themselves
individually. To this end, it is de-
clared, the four countries named are
making overtures to France and
Great Britain for support, moral and
otherwise. This situation, it is stat
ed on high French authority, is the
final card France and Great Britain
Will have in hand to play if neces-
sary in order to save Poland.

ed by soviet Russia as conditions to
peace with Poland, according to con-
fdential information to the govern
ment today.
The soviet peace demands also will
facilitate an alliance between Ger
many and Russia, according to the
government reports.
These adyices were looked on by
officials here as showing that Ger
many may have a hand in the Boil
shevik counsels and that her inter-
ests will be taken care of as we'll as
Russia's in the negotiations with the
Poles. ~
According to the governments ad-
vices, these are two of the principal
conditions to peace which will be
demanded by soviet Russia:
l. Free passage across Poland.
2. Restoration of Posen to Ger
