GLIMMER OF HOPE
SEEN WHEN POLES
SHOW RESISTANCE
Encouraged by Wave of Pa
triOtism and Arrival
of Munitions.
By Associated Press /:

bg ASSofidAtu LthSs
PARIS, Aug. 5.-Inspired by a
wave of patriotism in the rear and
encouraged by the arrival of arms
and munitions, the Polish army
seems to be stiffeninG in it's defense
against the invasion of the bolshe-
vik, who are virtually at the gates OF
Warsaw, Poland's capital.
Although but vague and some
what contradictory reports have
reached Paris Thursday, 1t is re-
garded here Thursday night that the
Poles still have a chance of stopping
the red drive and limiting the extent
OF the disaster. They apparently
have not altogether abandoned the
line of the Bug river. The Brest-
Litovsk forts at last accounts were
still in the possession of the Poles
and denial is made that the bolshe-
wiki have reached OstrolenkO. The
Polish staff even has been able to
launch two counter Offensives. in the
north in the region of LOmzo, and
in the extreme south in Galicia.
Slowing Up.
Another factor held by military
observers to favor the Poles is that.
in view OF the imperfect transport of
the bOlsheviki. their rate Of prog
ress necessarily must decrease as the
length OF their line of cOmmunica-
tiOn increases.
The allies have not yet. as far as
is known, decided on what course TO
pursue in the Polish situation, but
exchanges of views were going on
all day between the Paris and Lon
den governments"
