Meetings May Be Moved to
Riga, Letvia or
Esthonia.
DIPLOMATS CONFIDENT
OF new NEGOTIATIONS.
Dombski and Sapieha Will Discuss
Situation at Brest-Litovsk
Today.
BY the Associufad Press


W. 9SAW. August es.-The Russo
Polls peace negotiations will be
shifted from Minsk, the soviets and
Poles having agreed to a transfer.
The Poles demand that the negotia-
tions be held in Riga. Letvia. while
NJ. Tchitcherin, the soviet foreign
minister. favors some town in Es-
thonia.
In diplomatic circles here oonfi-
dence is expressed that the negotia-
tions will not be broken off through
disagreement regarding the place
where the delegates could continue
their peace talk under more favora BILE
conditions
Prince Sapieha. tie Polish foreign
minister. left here this afternoon for
Brest-Litovsk. where on Sunday he
will confer with NJ. Dombski, head of
the Polish delegation at Minsk.
Word reached the foreign office today
that NJ. Dombski had passed through
the bolshevik lines and had been re-
ceived by the Poles. Prince Sapieha
and NJ. Dombski arS both expected to
reach Brest-Litovsk late tonight
Delegates Virtually Prisoners.
According to word reaching War
saw. the Polish delegates at Minsk are
virtually prisoners and are looked
upon as spies. In addition to not get
ting enough to eat. it is declared that
the food they receive does not suit
their taste. However. their chief
complaint is in lack of communica-
ton.
The Brest-Litovsk conference will
have to do with the progress of the
Minsk negotiations. of which War
saw processes to have no knowledge,
| owing to difficulties of communica-
ton.
The American note to Poland rela-
tive to Washington's views concern
ing any Polish advance beyond the
chronological frontier has been re-
ceived, but there is no announcement
as to when Poland will reply. In Dip
lomatic circles the note is considered
in line with the American policy as
set forth in Secretary Colby's note to
Italy, of which the delegates at Minsk
had been informed. Every day the
Minsk conference continues hope in
creases in diplomatic circles that it
may eventually lead to peace or at
least an armistice.
An anti i-bolshevik army is being
organized chiefly among the prisoners
captured in the counter offensive
which ousted the reds from Poland.
The organization is under the direc-
tion of Gen. Glasenapp. and the re-
cruits are being taken from prison
camps, only volunteers being ac-
cepted.
The question of handling the pris-
oners is a serious one. Prisoners
from various districts continue to be
gathered in by soldiers and peasants.
In many instances. cut off from their
detachments. they are surrendering
in groups.
Two of the largest camps are es-
ia ablished in the region of Cracow and
|Skalmierzyce, where the prisoners are
given an opportunity to join the new
-bolshevik army if they so desire.
Combined with the new army will
be many Russians from the armies Of
Denekine and Bredoff, who are tired
of prison life and are eager for ac-
tion.

bride AND GROOM
SHOULD TELL TRUTH
English Bishop Asserts Mutual
Frankness Would Check
Divorce Evil.
By RT- REV. BERTRAM POLLOCK
(Bishop of Norwieh).


LONDON, July 26.-We are hearing
much on the subject OF divorce. d.
vorce. however. Is only an attempt
to remedy the failures or married
life, and IL is usually considered bet
ter to deal with causes than effects
This is not to say that IL Is not
wise to try to improve our divorce
law. To give only two examples
there are many who would agree
that In this matter men should
stand on an equality with women
and the rich with the poor.
SHOULD BE FIRM FRIENDS.
After all, what we require most OF
all is to encourage those happy mar :
riages from which husbands anu
wives will not desire TO escape ister
on, marriages that will lead TO happy
homes and to happy. healthy families
OF children.
To reach this end persons who are
to be married should know more OF
one another than in many cases they
do at present. They should be crm
friends. and each must be able 10
look the other in the face with per-
feet candor.
No marriage is likely to be sue
cessful II one Of the partners mas
some secret disqualification. such as
wife living somewhere else, or q pre-
vious attack OF lunacy. or conVictio'i
for drunk enness. which, II II had De-
come known by longer previous
association or by other means. would
have deferred the other partner.
Now our preliminaries to marriage
offer no real security in regard 10
questions OF this kind, or even more
easily ascertained matters. =,
No third party is required In all
cases to Identify bride and BRIDE
groom or to verify their statements
about themselves.
Even when the clergy try to do this
before publishing the banns the most
careful inquiry in large town may
fail to detect some fraudulent state
ment.
PUBLICITY IS NEEDED.
Bishops marriage licenses are open
to the same kind of objection. a
girl NAV make the necessary afida-
Wit. which she believes to be true
while all the time the man may be de-
ceiving her.
Similar objections make the prelim-
inaries Of a civil marriage unsausiac-
tory.
We want real publicity and caution
and verified statements.
The plan may sound rather Prus-
sian in it's character. but II every one
had TO possess a registration or iden-
tification card on which some particu-
lars Of his or her origin. marital state
occupation and career were WRITTEN
il would at least remove those raise
ideas about one another which induce
some parties to marry. and prevent
many Irregular, clandestine and unde-
sirable unions.
Registration cards of limited
character, 1t will be remembered,
were in use during the war. and they
would be useful in other ways besides
the protection of marriage.
The fuller the statements that were
required on the Identification card, the
more would be known about the per-
sons concerned before their marriage,
by one another. by their parents and
friends and by the clergyman or the
registrar.
An abvious defense against mar
riage failure and divorce lies in
guarding the original marriage. a..
far as possible, from the risks which
at present surround 1t.
