The change OF the American base
from Danzig to Reval became known
Immediately after a conference be-
tween Secretary Daniels and Norman
Davis. andersecretarys OF State, yes

Navy Department officials stated

will be sent to the Baltic at once.
Although Danzig is sea head of
the Polish corridor and is officially
known as "a free city" the British
are there with a fleet and are in alb
solute control. The allied high COM
missioner. Sir Reginald Tower, is SIM
ply a British official.
TOWER HOLDS UP SUPPLIES.
He is reported, and it is believed in
official circles here to be true, to have
refused permission for either the
French or Americans to land supplies
in Danzig. In reply to request from
the French for permission to land
munitions. Sir Reginald Tower in
fcfmed them ''he would be unable to
preserve order" IL they did so.
Following Sir Reginald Towers ac-
tion, the French government immedi-
ately ordered two armored cruisers,
the Guidon and Marseillei, to Danzig
1t is noted with alarm by State De-
partment officials here that the atti-
tude of Sir Reginald Tower became
more positive Immediately after pub
lication of Secretary Colby's note. At
first, he maintained 1t was impossible
to land supplies on account of opposi-
ton by labor. Now 1t is evident to

become a British policy clearly in
favor of the Soviets.
FEAR TROUBLE WITH BRITISH.
One explanation for the change OF
American base given by officials
here today il TINT they hoped to avoid
nm active clash with Britain.
Reval is the most important sea-
port in the new Baltic Republic of
Esthonia, which has been recognized
by France, England and even Russia
The last named nation has signed a
treaty of peace which gives her GER
tain port privileges in Reval. 1t has
not been recognized by the United
States. 1t is understood American ma
tionals who desire protection and can
not leave Poland through Danzig will
be instructed to go to Reval
State Department officials eX-
pressed great pleasure today at the
progress being made by the new
Polish loan being foated in America,
as it clearly opens the way for ma
terial aid from the United States to
Poland
Secretary of War Baker frankly
stated the war Department is n mer.
chant for all nations" and has plenty
OF supplies to sell. He added that
whatever supplies arc purchased here
for shipment to Poland must be ap-
proved by the Department OF state.
POLES CAN .BUY HERE.
1t Is made clear that Poland can get
everything she wants, particularly IL
she has funds. If no other way is
open, merchants in the United states
will be permitted to sell supplies to
merchants in Poland. The state De-
partment is now considering whether
or not war supplies cannot be con-
sidered salable by this means.
SO overcrowded is Danzig that the
United states Is much concerned over
the probability unqualified aliens will
attempt to come to the United States
through that port. Adequate pre-
cautions cannot be taken, however,
until the arrival of Minister Hugh
Cibbon, who Is now enroute to Poland.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-vivid reports
of the Bolshevik debacle received
here today indicated that the Red
armies had been completely routed
by the Poles.
The Warsaw defenders were said to
have taken 10000 Soviet prisoners.
An additional force of 10000 was said
to be surrounded with every indica-
ton that they would be either annihi-
lated or captured. Bolshevik COM
manders told correspondents their
defeat was the result of lack Of SUD-
plies and ammunition.
STREAM OF PRISONERS.
The stream of Bolshevik prisoners
pouring through Warsaw was de-
clared to be continuous. A wireless
dispatch from. Moscow admitted that
the heaviest fighting was occurring
on three fronts westward of Vyskofa
and Stanislavoff, along the western
Bug region. and Brest Litovsk and in
the Crimea section. --'4
Dispatches from Berlin declared
heavy Red reinforcements were being
brought up against the Poles. The
Russian northern wing was said to
have suffered complete collapse. The
Reds were said to have crossed the
Dneiper. attacking General WrangeIs
Iorces, which are advancing at Pcre-
kop. In vigorous counter attack,
Wrangel captured Alevski. Boil
sheviki troops were reported evac-
uating kaknovka. Z
Other advices from Berlin said the
Poles had retaken Strasburg, Neu-
mark andCiechan Of
CONTINUE TRUCE FARLEY.
While the fighting goes on. the
Bolsheviki and Polish peace ennis
saries are continuing negotiations for
an armistice at MUSK. APPARENTLY the
tables have been turned on the
Soviets, and the Poles now hold the
upper hand. 1t was expected the
Polish negotiations would take advan-
tage of the newly won victories.
The Poles issued a statemet de-
claring they did not desire war and
were merely continuing hostilities
for the purpose of occupying terri
tories in which the populations could
thus exercise self-determination. The
Poles said their counter-proposals
would include the inviolability Of Po-
lands independence and non-interfer-
ence in her internal affairs.
No direct word has been heard from
Minsk, where the Russian and Polish
peace commissioners are sitting.
Word from Russian sources accuses
the Poles of delay. The Poles have
countered with the statement that
the Polish delegates are unable to
communicate with their government
despite the assurances that an unin-
terrupted wireless and courier serv-
ice would be permitted.
1t was alleged that this is trickery
on the part of the Soviets to prevent
the Poles from learning of the re-
cent Polish victories and thereby
keep them in the frame of mind to
negotiate a peace on the basis of
peace at once or Poland inflicted with
a crushing military defeat.
$4,000 PRISONERS TAKEN.
The most surprising development of
the fighting is the Russian resistance
on the edge OF the Polish corridor
from eighty to one hundred miles
west of Warsaw. This portion of the
army is maintained by communica-
