Soviet Army poomed

PARIS, Aug. 25-The destruction of the bolshevik armies now may be con- sidered complete, according to advices received here Of the host which swept down on Warsaw nothing is left but 3O,000 fugitives. The Poles have taken S0,000 prisoners thus far; hut what is more important, they have captured great quantities of guns and materials. s s
 IL is considered probable that the sovfets employed all their available re- sources and in their present condition Russian industries will take a long time to replace them Consequently if the soviets are able to find effectives With which to restore the fortunes of their arms, lack of equipment will make them without military value.
 During the past three days there has been heavy fighting in the marshy valley of the Narew between Ostrolenka and Lomza, where the reds sought to break through in the direction of Blalystok. The losses have been heavy on both sides. On August 25. the Poles carried all the passages of the river. At this juncture two other Polish armies pursuing the reds from the west came up and consummated their defeat.
 The Prussfan frontier as far as | Myszyniec is now occupied by the Poles. All the soviet troops west of the line of Ostrolenka- -Myszyniec have been captured. The peasants continue | daily to discover and hand over to the military fugitive red attachments. Detachments of cavalry and Infantry on horseback which escaped proceed ed northward along the line of the lakes and marshes between the fort resses of Ossoweic and Grodno. The same route was followed by those re treating from the environs of Bialy- stok.
 It appears evident that the boIshe wiki are trying to make a stand in the region of Ossowiec where the nature of the ground facilitates a defensive so as to maintain communication with East Prussia and prevent access of the Poles to Lithuania.
 Profiting by the re-grouping of the Polish army, the reds again invaded Galicia. General Budenny made a dash | for Lemberg, but has been defeated and is in flight. Another detachment crossed the Dnieper and occupied Stryl This detachment sought to de- stroy the Boryslav oil wells but was driven off by local workmen.
 In the region of Chelm a bolshevrE attack was repelled by troops occupy ing the right bank of the Bug.
