 Copenhagen, Aug. 23.-The Poles have recaptured Bialstok after des- perate resistance by the bolshevik says a dispatch to the Berlingske Tindende from Warsaw.
 Lucerne, Aug. 23.-An official statement issued regarding the con- ferences today between Premierss Lloyd George and Giolitti says that the premiers agree to the vital need of the re-establishment of the peace of the world at the earliest possible moment and that the first guarantee of such a peace is to be found in the various treaties already concluded.
 "The victors in war;" continues the statement, "should display | spirit of moderation in their enforce ment of terms and the vanquished spirit of loyalty in their execution. With this aim, England and Italy trust that the good understanding reached at Spa will be further de- veloped to cover all outstanding questions.
 Before peace is fully established, however, there are number of im- portant questions to be decided, majority of which are indisputably connected with the march of events in territories of the former Russian empire. Until peace is fully estab- lished between Russia and between the rest of the world an atmosphere of disturbance and unsettlement will continue to menace the world.
 Therefore the British and Ital- ian governments have been taking steps in the face of such misrepre- X sentation, to restore communications between Russia and the world out side. Therefore, with profound re- gret they have just heard that the soviet government, despite repeated assurances to the contrary given of ficially on their behalf in London have sought, to impose on Poland conditions incompatible with nation- al independence.
 "The government of Poland is bas- ed on the choice of the whole adult male population of the country with put distinction of class, and this so- called civil army to be drawn from one class only, which is referred to in the fourth condition of the soviet serms, is only an indirect method of organizing force to overthrow by this democratic constitu- tion and substitute for it the despo- tism of privileged few who may nave absorbed the doctrines of hol- ,hevism.
