tries in Europe, refuses to deal with
Germany. You cannot bring German
goods into Poland. German COM

This is the substance of what the COM
mander of the POlish-German frontier
said to me: Germany is offering to
sell goods to Poland at prices from
20 to % per cent cheaper than Eng

leaders of the Kolchak government,

The Paris conference decreed that
5000 American soldiers and an equal

Paris conference Japan has almost
10000 soldiers in Siberia. 1t was I'M

government has used the railways to
