Efforts by the armies of the Polish

futile.
Brest Litvosk, the last bastian in

Polish capital, is in the hands of the
Soviet army and Lomson, an import
ant railroad Injunction and strategic
base to the northwest and Kovel,
northeast of Brest Litv0sk, have been
given up by the Poles.
West of Brest Litvosk the Poles still
hold the great forts that have made
the city one of the principal fortresses
of eastern Europe, but Soviet troops
have been flung across the Bug river
further to the northwest and it would
appear this move will compel retire
ment of the Poles from their defenses.
The Russians are advancing in
Echelon after the tactics adopted by
General Mackensen, when he left the

London, Aug. 5.-Statements print

against Bolsheviki Russia if the Boil
sheviki advance into Poland is not
halted have not been confirmed in au-
