Pilsudski Defends
INFUSION of Russia

WARSAW. Aug. 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press President Pilsudski, in
a statement to the Polish press de-
clares that the front designated by the
Allies on December as Polands east
IN frontier is from strategical point
of view worth nothing to the republic.
cat several points in the region of
Brest-Litovsk," he says, 1--WE have al
ready crossed the Allied line; in the
north we are approaching it. To halt
on this line, dig trenches and create
a state of defense means that we con-
firm with this act that the front in the
east answers our aspirations'
The Polish president goes on to
say that there are only two solutions
of the Russian blem-either to
march forward and crush the Reds so
completely that they will be forced
to speak with the Poles in another
tone, or remain on the illusory frontier
and conclude peace as promptly as
possible.
"The Poles must make prompt and
energetic decision,' he continues.
There is no time to lose. 1t is not
easy to infame the Poles, and they
are becoming cool already We must
not delude ourselves even if we sign,
since we should always remain an OBJ
Ject of Russian aggression"
President Pilsudski points out that
an abnormal situation has arisen and
that the entire front of the Poles, by
force of events, has been turned
toward the Prussian frontier. "Its
rear and its flank are in the direction
of Russia" he adds, "and we must
bring it back to natural state. am
convinced that the Russians have not
renounced their intention of attacking
US further.
"Our friends desire that the Poles
shall remain stationary on the east
crn front, maintaining a purely defen-
Slve sttitude My opinion is that this is
Impossible. How can Poland with it's
small army, badly munitioned, remain
on fixed front of hundreds of miles :?
Such lines should have trenches and
protecting rows of barbed wire, and to
carry sufficient wire to the lines would
occupy the entire railroad system for
months"
A wireless from Minsk says that
members of the Polish delegation and
those who accompanied it to the con-
ference with the Soviet emissaries are
i'll because Of the insanitary conditions
under which they are compelled to
exist.
Among those who are sick is Maurice
Pate, OF Denver, member of the
American Relief Administration. The
message says that Pate is critically
i'll. The Denver man accompanied the
delegation, together with Herschel
Walker, of Philadelphia, another re-
lief worker, to discuss with the Soviet
representatives. a proposal for feeding
war stricken children.
Conditions grow worse each day.
The delegates are permitted to walk
only in certain parts Of Mnsk and

experts and the newspaper correspond
