ARMISTICE PROPOPALS
 SENT DIRECT TO WARSAW

Warsaw, July 22.-Poland has sent armistice proposals direct to the sovie. government at Moscow.
 After these proposals had been dis patched by wireless at o'clock this afternoon by the national council of defense, a new coalition cabinet was formed under the premiership of M. Witos.
 The new cabinet has the support of the socialist party. M. Datzenski, the head of the socialists organization, is the vice premier. Aside from these two changes the cabinet remains the same
 The direct negotiations begun with the soviet are on the question of an imme- diate armistice along the entire front of about 720 miles. The proposals were wirelessed after failure to reach any def mite conclusion in dealings with M. Tchnitcherin. the bolshevik foreign mln- ister, through Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain.
 The Polish message was short and to the point. There was some delay in dispatching it. owing chiefly to bitches in the organization of coalition cabi- net, with the peasant party leader. Witos, as premier. It was decided that further delays would be serious owing to the situation beyond Bialystok. and a decision was reached to send a wireless note to Moscow at once. A reply is ex- peeted by Friday night

 He continued:
 But there are those of us still alive who fought by the side of Roosevelt when he was being called every kind of criminal and traitor by the reae- tionary Harding. l, as one of them, can testify to my belief that If Theo- dore Roosevelt were alive he woul0 scourge the combination of profiteero and politicians who now so brazenly link his memory with his nefarious ee- fort to turn the republic over to q soviet of Wall street bankers.

New Republic Also Asks Expression From Presi- dent Wilson as Means of Strengthening Ebbing Morale of Soldiers and the People
By Associated Press

Washington, July s. Poland, sorely beset by the Russian bolshevik armies, call ed upon the United States to- day for moral support in her now desperate battle with the soviet forces. Through it's lega- ton here, the new republic not only asked for an expression from the state department, but also from President Wilson, de claring that such public state ments would go long way to- ward strengthening the morale of it's soldiers and people.
 Polands request was given serious consideration at the state department ard it was expected that decision would not be long delayed. Meantime, officials refrained from discussing it. Whatever the ultimate decision, how ever. there were indications of their sympathy with the Polish republic. It was recalled that the American gov ernment had steadfastly refused to rec ognize the soviet regime and that less than two years ago the state depart ment requested the allied and neutral nations to join in declaring the bol- sheviki international outlaws.
 Arguments for American support that were presented by the Polish lega- lion set forth the incongruity of the United Statese abandoning the repub- lie with whose establishment it had so much to do, Representatives of the legation declared tnat while the situa- ton of their country had been made desperate by the enormous weight of the Russian forces, it was not yet too late to avert disaster and that an eX- precision of support and sympathy by the President would be of great aid.
