POLLSH-RUSSLAN
ARlNZS7YCE FAILS
SUMMARY CRITICAL
EVENTS IN POLAND
ley ASSOCIATED PREssA

All advices today indicate that the
situation in Poland, from the Polish
allied standpoint is approaching a
crisis.
The Polish delegation which went to
Baranovitchi to negotiate an armistice
not only failed to obtain terms from
the Russians, but was sent back to
Warsaw 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 tomor-
row, at the earliest.
Meanwhile the resistance of the Pol.
ish army, which apparently had been
stiffening, has again relaxed under the
tremendous pressure OF the bolshevik
armies. Warsaw from which the Rus
SLAMS now are only sixty miles distant,
seems critically menaced, If not doomed
to capture,
Americans remaining there have re-
ceived official information that they
may stay at their owrV risk.
Coincident with the serious military
developments comes an announcement
from Moscow that a soviet government
has been set up in the portions of lo-
land whcih the bolsneviki have over
run.
