Messages from various points near the

On the southern front their retreat is
described as 'hasty," at many points
the opposing armies losing contact due
to the Poles swift withdrawal.
Red cavalry was scouting between the
lines gathering in Polish stragglers.
The roads over which the Poles fell
back are reported Uttered with aban-
doned war material.
An official conmunique from Moscow
says the Russ9ns were advancing rap
idly on all sectors.
They had occupied Sokoloff, the state
ment says; had forced the River Narew
forty miles from Warsaw and gradually
were encircling the capital from the
north.

BRITISH FORESEE
SETTLEMENT BASIS

LONDON. Aug 11.-Members of the
British cabinet, it was learned today,
believe there is a satisfactory basis OF
settlement in the armistice and peace
terms which the bolsheviki were to pre-
sent TO Poland at the Minsk conference
today.
The terms were announced by Premier
Lloyd George in the house of commons
during the night, after they had been
handed to him by Leo Kameneff, one of
the Russian representatives.
In brief the bOlSheviki terms call for ::
Immediate reduction of the Polish
army to 10000 men with an annual
draft for the army of 10000 men
thereafter. The time limit set on
this rehabilitation is one month.
Surrender to Russia Of all super
fuous arms.
Prohibition of all shipments of
troops or material into Poland from
abroad.
Granting to Russia of access to the
Baltic with commercial advantages.
Handing over to Poland of addi-
tionaI territory on its eastern from
tier to be given to the families of
Poles killed in the war as compensa-
ton.

from the Polish front as rapidly as
the army is demobilized.
Fixing the armistice line as the
actual front when fighting ends, the
Poles to withdraw thirty-four miles
to create a neutral zone.
The Russian communication indicated
the front to be granted Poland by the
Russians would be better for Poland
than the borders established by the al
lies
LLOYD GEORGE
MAKES NO COMMENT.
Lloyd George did not comment on
these subjects as he wished TO wait for
the conference today.
Two attaches of the Russian mission
started for Moscow today from London.
It is believed they carried a message
from Kameneff to Premier Lenine, urg.
ing that the British terms be accepted
by the Russian soviet.
The British terms, as expressed in a
recent communication, called for cessa>
ton Of hostilities.
Laborites announced today that meet
ing had been called for Friday Of all
trades unions throughout the kingdom.
They will meet here and watch the
government. ready to carry out THEN
threat to down tools" and paralyze the
through possible breakdown Of the
Minsk conference.
At the meeting between Lloyd George
and the laborites assurance was given the
latter that the government would await
the outcome Of the AIinsk conference be-
fore taking any warlike steps.
The laborites told the premier their
platform was not government" but
anti war"
Lloyd George replied: Il want peace.
But he insisted that Poland's integrity
and independence should be preserved.
Editorial comment today was rather
uncertain.
While the Daily Chronicle said the air
had cleared and that peace was in sight.
the Telegraph took a gloomier view.
Pointing ont that destruction of Poland
would mark collapse Of the Versailles
treaty.
Th4 Daily Herald said that only "di-
rect action" by the laborites averted war
temporarily.
Tho Daily News saw the war clouds
blowing over and believed the Minsk
r.r'ey would bring peace unless the
Poles lose their senses
