Americans Remaining in
Warsaw Have Been
Warned That They Are
Staying at Their Own
Risk - Soviet Govern
ment Reported Set Up in
Parts of Poland Already
Overrun.

All advices to-day indicate that the
situation in Poland, from the Polish
allied standpoint, is approaching a
crisis.
The Polish delegation which went to
Baranovitchel to negotiate an armistice
not only failed to obtain terms from
the RUSSIANS but was sent back to
Wsrsaw by the soviet authorities, who
demanded that the emissaries obtain a
mandate to take UP peace negotiations
This will delay even the beginning OF
the armistice negotiations until to-
morrow at the earliest.
Meanwhile the resistance of the Pol
ish army, which had apparently been
stiffening, has again relaxed under the
tremendous pressure of the bolsheviki
armies. Warsaw, from which the Rus
SLAMS are now but 90 miles distance,
seems critically menaced, if not doomed
to capture. Americans remaining there
have received official intimation that
they stay at their own risk.
Coincident with the serious military
developments comes an announcement
from Moscow that a soviet govern
ment has been set up in the portions Of
Poland which the bolsheviki have over
run

REBUFF TO POLES
Delegation Sent Back by Bolsheviki
With Demand for Morc Authority.

WIN DeHldHu Iuf Molc Aulhoiity'
London, Aug. negotiations for an
armistice between Poland and soviet
Russia have been delayed, according to
wireless dispatch received here from
Moscow. II says the Polish delegation
left Baranovitchi for Warsaw on Mon
day to present TO its government the
soviet demand that the Polish dele
gates be given mandates for signing
not only an armistice agreement but
also "a protocol setting forth funda-
mental conditions of peace.
without this," the message de-
clares, 'it will be impossible to con
clude an armistice."
The Polish delegation was empow-
cred merely to arrange a halting OF
hostiGtes. The soviet delegates pro.
posed that another meeting of the
armistice commissions be held at Minsk
on August 4, the dispatch says.
The Polish delegation on August !
at Baronvitchi, presented its ereder
tials from the Polish command EN-.
powering it TO negotiate an armistice
the message continues. The Russians
however, declared that the original
Polish proposals called not only for ar
armistice but for the opening of peace
negotiations and informed the Polish
delegates that they must have man
dates for signing the fundamental con
ditions of peace.

bv Charles Pouzi, who claims to have
made millions by operations in foreign
exchange, was resumed to-day by hun
dreds Of investors who were attracted
by the fnancier's promise to pay them
30 per cent interest in 90 days. The
company continued to meet the de-
mands of holders of unmatured notes
for their principal and, it was said,
that holders of unmatured notes re-

that he would have millions left" after
meeting all obligations and that he was
"still considering the offer of New

TREMENDOUS ASSAULT
CARRIED BREST-LITOVSK
Soviet Forces Have Smashed Their
Way to Point Only 90 Miles
East of Warsaw.

Warsaw, Aug. 3 tBy the Associated
Press l-Brest- -Litovsk, the last great
fortress guarding Warsaw from the
east, has apparently fallen before
tremendous assault by the Russian
bolsheviki. North of that place soviet
forces have smashed ther way forward
in their drive westward to point only
sixty miles east of this city.
Over a front of l20 miles Polish
armies are being pounded to pieces be-
fore the rush of bolshevik hordes, which
are being hurled into the battle in a
desperate attempt TO capture Warsaw
before the conclusion of the armistice
conference at Kobryn. Reinforcements
are everywhere being hurried 10 the
front by the Russians TO complete the
defeat of the Poles before hostilities
are halted.
An official statement issued late last
night showed the soviet armies had
reached a line running from kossaki
to Ciechanowicz, which is only sixty
miles from this city, with which it is
connected by an excellent automobile
highway.
Great masses Of bolsheviki have been
flung against the Polish breastworks

GRANITE ST. BRIDGE
REPORTED UNSAFE
City Engineer Ruggles Recommends
That It's Use Be Limited to
Light Loads-0ther City
Bridges Report
ed On,

The Granite street bridge was re-
ported by City Engineer Ruggles last
night to be in such bad condition that
it was not safe for heavy loads, the
steel having rusted and the plankins
being worn. His recommendation was
that the bridge be posted against pas
sage of all except the lighter loads
The report was made in connection
with a general report on the bridges OF
the city, in which the engineer re,
ported that most of the dozen bridges
were in good shape except for minor re-
pairs
Chief criticism against the mainte-
nance of the bridges was In the man
ner of repainting the steel structures,
policy of daubing paint over rust
having been followed, apparently, with
the rust still working beneath the new
coat of paint. The engineer recommend
ed that all steel bridges be scraped
thoroughly before being touched with
paint.
Briefly stated, the report on the
bridges was as follows: Ayers street
bridge needs painting and repairs; Mill
street bridge is, as whole, In good
condition; Jail branch temporary
bridge will not stand high water and
ice pressure; Granite street bridge very
bad and not safe for heavy loads;
Blackwell street bridge rusting badly;
Prospect street bridge is in excellent t.
condition; Berlin street bridge is in
good condition but needs repalnting;
Wiley street bridge is in excellent
| condition but needs painting and re-
pairs: North Main street cement bridge
excellent; three bridges over Gunner
| bro rook to east Of Main street need some
repairs.
The report OF the social worker for
June and July told of progress being
made in that department and that
| 'there are now 25s cases known to this
| department and these are now being
registered with the state social serv-
ice exchange in Burlington" The re-
port was accepted and placed on file
| Miss Gridley, also reporting for the
charity department, asked for 1918 to
meet July bills and the amount was
ordered paid.
The fire committee recommended
that permit be given to H. Habeet
for gasoline tank and pump on Pros
pect street and the permit was grant
