the Russian soviet delegation here
sent Premier LLOYD George last nigh
long communication giving the SO
Wet governments reply to Great Brit
aims note of Tuesday with regard To
the delay in the armistice negotiations
between Russia and Poland.

the soviet government never desired to
combine the negotiations for an arnais-
tice with negotiations for peace, but
that 1t demands that the terms of the

tees which would prevent attempts on
the part of Poland, to use the period of
the armistice for the renewal of hos
tile acts.
Wait Polish Delegates.
The sole obstacle in the wav of the
beginning of negotiations for the sus-
pension of military operations, SAYS the
note, is the absence Of the Polish dele
gates. whose return is being awaited
by the representatives of the soviet gov
ernment in order that negotiations
may be Immediately opened.
The note continues:
"The Russian soviet government
again declares that it is firm in the
recognition Of the freedom and inde-
pendence of Poland and its Willingness
to grant to the Polish state wider from
tiers than were indicated by the SUI
preme council and mentioned in the
British note of July 30"
Favor London Conference.
With regard to the proposed Lon
don peace conference, the note says in
substance that the soviet government
had proposed that the conference be
only with the leading powers Of the en-
tente because the usefulness Of such a
conference arose from the fact that
without the assistance of the, leading
powers war could not be waged by
other states against Russia, and so the
peace of Europe would be guaranteed.
The Kameneff statement continues:
We are still of the opinion that
direct negotiations with Poland for
peace would serve the interest both of
the Russian and Polish people,
The conference in London between
Russia and the leading powers of the
says the communication,
would have for it's object the regular
ization of the international position Of
Russia and the settlement Of all out

 It did not involve insubordination as some newspapers had seemed tc assume" he said, nor was there any intention to make 8 personal attack on the secretary. A

 INVASION IN NEAR
 EAST IS VERY REAL
INTERNAL CONDITIONS IN PERSIA, TUR- KEY AND ARGHANISTAN ARE THREAT ENING-DEBACLE OF DENIKINE'S
 ARMIES

London, Jan. 16-Attention Of the British people is fixed on the Near East, where recent BOlshevik successes have car ried the Red Russian armies almost up to the threshold of India, Persia, Mesopotamia and Asiatic Turkey. Cabinet mem- bers and chiefs of the British army and navy are today in Paris, whither they were has tily summoned yesterday, and are conferring with Premier Lloyd George on military and naval matters in connection, 1t is believed, conditions in South western Asia.
 Apprehension was aroused by the issuance of 8 semi-officiaI statement yesterday pointing out the situation that has arisen through the collapse of General Denikine's army in South ern Russia, and BoIshevik penetra- tion If Trans-Caspia. Not only was it admitted the menace from a Rus sian Bolshevik invasion of the Near East was very real, but it was point ed out that internal conditions iii Persia, Turkey and Afghanistan were threatening. In MesOpOtan1ia, too the British are forced to contend with difficulties arising from racial dis sension. It was said that a soviet advance that captures Crimea would make the Black Sea. virtually a, Rus sian Bolshevik lake, and it was further indicated that Great Britain could hope for little help from the new republic of Georgia, Daghestan and Azerbaijan, which are directly in the path of the soviet advar 70.
 While there is a possibility the Bolsheviki may launch an over whelming attack against Poland, the statement issued yesterday showed the greatest preoccupation of official dominion was over the debacle ot Denizine's armies and the rapid ad- vance of the soviet forces toward the Perisian and Afghan frontiers. The situation which now confronts Grea Britain and. more or less Japan and China, is not of sudden growth, how ever. For the last two months ol

300 LiquO1' Dealers
 Soon To Close Cafes
HEAD OF LIQUOR DEALERS ASSOCIATION SAYS THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE
 MEETING SOON.

That over 300 liquor dealers in tho city of Bridgeport will close their sa- ioonS before the first of March is the general prediction here today and Is being backed up by Thomas F. Flynn, president of the Liquor Dealers As soclation in this city, who stated this morning that a meeting had been called for some day next week to dis cuss the situation.
 MT. Flynn said this morning that he did not see what the former own CTS of saloons could do but go out of business now that the prohibition amendment to the constitution is go- ing into effect. He stated that 1t would be next to impossible for deal CTS to sell any liquor on the sly now as the laws forbid them to keep any on the premises and he claims that all of those who had any on hand have moved 1t to their homes or other places of security
 MT. Flynn, who Is proprietor of a cafe on Wall street, says that he him. self plans to go out of business as he ooes not see how he can make any money by staying open. Practically the only beverage left which these places can sell is cider or soda water and it Is being pointed out that with the high rents charged for saloon properties it is impossible to make money.
 The liquor dealers have already be- gun to figure on returning their H. censes to the County Commissioners The license costs $750 and there is a five months rebate from July 1 to December l coming back to them amounting to about $300.
