SEVEN RED DIVISIONS
 ARE CUT 10 PIECES

Paris, August 20.-General Pilsud- skis army has reached the Middle Bug river, according to plan. and is march ing down the stream to join the army advancing up the fork between the Bug and Narew rivers toward Ostro- lenkA with the object of cutting the Warsaw-Bialystck road, and their enemy,s sole avenue of retreat.
 Down this road the reds are bolting. profiting by the large numbers of horses in their possession. The fact that they have the horses is said to account for the comparatively small number of prisoners being taken by the Poles. Pursuing French airplanes however, have prevented the enemy from taking with him many guns and bolshevik divisions have been cut in pieces and all their guns captured. The Polish right wing, from the south, is now before the forts of Brest I,itovsk and part of it has crossed the Rug river in the direction of kovel, thus providing a safeguard against flank counter attacks. Polish forces Tn this region are supported by Ukrain- ian division and General Balscho- wich,s Russian volunteer army, which had remained in Polesia much to the read of the bolsheviki.
 It is pointed out the bolshevik gar rison at Brest -Litovsk is virtually cut off on all sides.
