AMERICANS URGE POLES TOCONCLUDE RED PEACE
Rumors Affoat That Hostili. ties May Soon Cease
 Negotiations Open.

London, Feb. 6.---Infiuential Amer
 ican friends of Poland are urging
 those in high authority in that coun-
 try to make d quick peace with the
 Bolsheviki it was learned today.
 In diplomatic circles the belief was expressed that these admonitions. coupled with the reported desire of
 the British government for peace be- tween Poland and Soviet Russia, will
 have great weight in favor of a. ces- sation of hostilities.
 Copenhagen, Feb. 4.-Reports that the RoIshevik government of Russia
 plans a military offensive against Po- f land are denied by Maxim Litvinoff representative of the soviet govern ment who is in this city conferring with James O'Grady, British delegate for the exchange of prisoners of war. He says: We are certain Allied reaction aries are working hand in hand with the military party. the conservative elements and the foreign office of Germany. To cover this cooperation & press campaign is on foot to mis- lead public opinion and to give the impression that soviet Russia Intends to attack Poland. Rumors of the maSS1ng or huSSldn LEoopS oii IilS Polish frontier have, for the most part, come through German sources. Naturally Germany would wish to bring about a new war between Po- land and Russia in order to weaken the new born state and eventually ruin her.
 "Our peace offers to Letvia, Lithu- ania and Finland are still open and welfare prepared to begin negotiations at any moment. We will consider their claims at their true value. A single word sent to Poland to give up any imperialistic ambitions would produce general peace in eastern Eu- rope.''

Princess Anne Sends s. o. s. Calls, Tugs R esponding and Standing By for Aid
WILL ATTEMPT TO
 REMOVE PASSENGERS

New York, Feb. 6.-Calls for assistance were received here from the steamer Princess Anne early this morning.
 The Princess Anne left Norfolk Wednesday evening and was due here yesterday afternoon, but she encoun- tered a terrific storm off the coast and was delayed. The first s O S message was received at the office of naval communications here at 2:30 . o'clock this morning. It stated that the boat was off Roamer Shoals and needed immediate assistance. Mes sages of this nature kept coming in every five minutes until 4 o'clock.
 Two Tugs Start.
 In response to these early messages two tugs started for Roamer Shoals. Later messages showed. however, that the position of the steamer was in- correctly stated and that the boat was aground on the Long Island coast off Ambrose Light. The two tugs which were headed for Roamer Shoals re- ceived word of her correct position and started for her assistance. Sev- eral others also answered the steam CTS distress calls.
 .Advices from the stranded ship sent I111ohSh SOoSI udiu oLACCiS Si1ot tiS after 10 a. m. were that the vessel was badly strained through the pounding of the surf and that No. 3 hold was full of water. but there was no water in No. 1 or No. ? holds.
 Sea Running High.
 The sea was running high and call has been sent to the coast guard to send al, a,vaila bie assistance. Waves 20 to 25 fuet higi, were washing over Rockaway Beach at 8 o'clock and 1t was considered unlikely that, a trans fer of the distressed steamers pas sengers would be attenl pted under those conditions unless it was abso- lutely necessary.
 The keeper of the Rockaway sta- ton reported that he had loaded his surf boat on larger vessel and would put out around Rockaway Point to deep. water, where the lifeboat would be launched to approach the stranded ship off shore side. The passengers on board were reported in no imme- diate danger.
 Can't Launch Boat.
 Two Navy tugs and a coast guard cutter are standing by the disabled ship and other vessels could be seen approaching her in the distance, at tracted by the early O calls.
 An attempt to launch iifeboat from coast guard station No. 9e. near Rockaway Point. failed because of the heavy seas. Four miles were made from Fort Tilden and the lifAeoat was dragged along shore a mile to a point opposite Rockaway Inlet, where an other attempt will be made to launch it.
 Later reports from the stranded ship were that she was taking water rapidly and the captain sent a mes sage ashore asking that the passen- = gers and crew be taken off before night.
 The coast guard cutter and Navy tugs are still standing by and efforts to reach the ship with surf boat are being made by the life guards.
