EXPRESS DOUBT
1t May Be Days Before the

Is Heard From

Warsaw, Aug. by the Associated
Press Doubt was expressed to-day
in diplmstic circles here as to whether
an agreement for an armistice would
come out of the negotiations between
the Polish and soviet emissaries at
Baranoyitch. It was thought that the
soviet authorities were likely to in
sist upon terms to severe for the Poles
to accept.
The Polish delegates carried with
them into the Russian lines portable
wireless outfit which they intend to use
for communication with Warsaw. Off
cials said this afternoon, however, that
il might be days before the negotia
