scale of that now being conducted against
Poland, according to estimates made here
Friday by the military authorities. N1rtu-
ally all of the stocks on hand are from
supplies furnished by the allies govern
ments to the old Russian regime during
the world war.
Inadequate transportation facilities
and the long distance between the NUM-
tions depots in Russia were regarded py
army officials here as offsettlng IN part
the full military value Of these abundant
munitions reserves.
Besides the material taken away from
the old Russian government, the Dolshe-
wiki have captured large supplies from
General Denikine, Admiral kolchak anu
from the Poles.
Among the supplies seized and said by
army officers to have been ldentltled az
part Of the bolsheviki stock, are large
quantities of ammunition of German make
dated March, 1919: new japanese rifles;
Browning automatic rifles captured from
Kolchak and Russian rifles bearing the

The soviet troops have been checked
in their westward push along the Prus-

Warsaw, Aug. So p. m.-(By The
Associated PressJ J.-The defensive line
east of Warsaw has been pierced in sew
eral places, according to reports from
the front. Preparations have been begun
for transferring the government if that
move is necessitated by the Russian ad-
vance. The officials. however, still hope
the soviet forces will be checked some
where east of the Vistula.
No announcement has been made as to
what place the government would move
to, but it is reported it would be Posen
or Czestochowa, 143 miles southwest of
Warsaw near the Silesian frontier.
OF the developments along the east
ern defense line, the word from the front
shows that after halt of several days
while reinforcements were brought UP
and supplies forwarded along the river,
the bolsheviki forced crossings of the
Bug at number of places. At one point,
southeast of Ostrov, the soviet troops
are reported to have crossed the river
in large numbers.
Tonight's communique announced
that the Russians had forced the Bug
in the region of DrohieZyn (about 70
miles east of the capitaD, this being a
part OF the soviet movement to out

S the day Of the penny and nickel
according to members Of Con-
Rress. Within IL week tho Senate
committee on banking and currency
has reported favorably TO the Senate
bill to coin two-cent pieces. and
Senator FrelinHhuysen OF New Jersey
has introduced measure providing
for the coinage Of seven and eight
cent pieces.
The proposal that these new coins
be made is due directly to the change
in prices OF all kinds of commodities.
Those things which formerly could be
bought for q penny or nickel can no
longer be bought for such prices. The

Senator Mclean called upon the
Treasury Department to state it's
views with regard to the proposed two
cent coin before the committee acted
on the bill. The reply was that while
the coin could readily be made the de-
partment saw no reason for its being
produced. The question also arose in
Senator McLean's mind as to whether
there would be any valid reasons
against the coin because of the ma
chimes now used by the banks in add

He received report from one of the
cash register companies to the effect
that the machines used could be adj
