The Allies al- so said there would be no change in the boundary lines. The notification is less favorable than the plans drawn by Premier Lloyd George. The Allies also say that Poland shall not be us cd as bridgehead in any sense be- tween Russia and German, and stocks of munitions from the Allies moving towards Warsaw from Danzig.
 Hungary today asked permission from Great Bntian and France to at tack the SovictS.
 Tie Allies are now considering this proposition but believe that Hunga1y'S offer to fight the Bolsheviki will bring about too many concessions to be asked by Hungary, from the treaty terms. The French government has been informed that Letvia, Finland, Rumania, as well as Hungary, are all anxious to make a common cause against the BolShevik now than be compelled later to defend themselves individually. These four countries are all reported making overtures to France and Great Britian for support morally and otherwise.
