DRASTIC TERMS TO BE IMPOSED
 ON ROL SHEvIkI

Warsaw, Feb. 16 - Terms which may be viewed as quite drastic have been advanced by Polish nationalisrs in framing military conditions to be imposed upon the Bolsheviki in the arrangement of a peace settlement. These include a demobilization of the Red armies on this front. and the es- tabHshment of Polish bridgeheads over the rivers Dvina and Dnieper.
 Armistice plans call for a strategic line protecting Poland if peace nego- tiations are unsuccessful. As the allies demanded the left bank of the Rhine from Germany, the Poles plan to demand bridgeheads at Vitebsk and Orsha, on the Dvina, and the pos. sible occupation of Smolensk as a guarantee the Bolsheviki will fulfill the conditions.

coal miners were weakening, offset all
other considerations this morning in the

which were based on the Increasing
