Warsaw, Aug. 31.-I learn that
Poland's reply to the American
note, warning Of the dangers of
exciting Russian nationalism by a
reinvasion of non-Polish territories,
is an evasion in courteous, grateful
form Of any commitment to halt
the army's advance on any definite
line The principles of reoccupying
only Polish territories is acknowl-
edged by the government. which
points out that military reasons and
defensive strategy may neCessitate
the attacking Of the BOlshevist
forces at points where they are a
menace to Polish safety.
The note presumably follows the
lines Of President Pilsudskrs pub
lie statement in which he argued
that the creation Of a definite, de-
fensive line where no strategic line
exists Is an impossibility for the
small and poorly equipped Polish
army.
1t would necessitate the con-
struction of a fortified line with
trenches, concrete emplacements
and barbed wire several hundred
miles long from the Lithuanian to
the Rumanian frontiers and would
require far larger army than Po-
land can. afford to garrison, II
limited to defensive strategy.
Military. operations on a consider
ahle scale are about to begin on
the southern front against Gen.
Budenpy. Gen. Joseph HaIler, COM
manding the army of volunteers
which participated with the army
uRder Pilsudski with such distin-
guished success in the campaign
which freed Warsaw. has been
transferred to the command on the
southern front.
The underlying cause for the de-
mand for, immediate Convocatlon Of
the Polish Diet Is the charge that
resolution had been offered in the
council of ministers to make an
alliance with the Germans, thereby
abandoning the principle Of a close
understanding with the western
powers on which the Polish policy
hitherto has been based.
This is expressly charged in a
letter OF the chairman Of the ma
tional democratic faction to the
speaker Of the Diet demanding the
convoCation. The letter further
charges that departments under
Nice-Premier Daszynski and the
press section Of the ministry of
war are conducting propaganda
aimed directly against an alliance
with the western states.
