BaIfour Replies to Reds.
London. Sept. ARTHUR J. Balfour,
lord president of the council, has re-
piled to the dispatch of NJ. Tchtcher-
in Russian bolshevik minister, sent
on August 26.
Mr. BalfOur expresses qualification
that the soviet government fenounreB
its demands for Il workers militia, but
declares that NJ. Tchitcherin is mis-
taken in suppOSing that the British
government recognized that Il reduc-
ton of the Polish army to 10000 men
would be Just peace terms.
What the British government said
Mr.. Balf0ur declared. was that Great
Britain would not consider it sniff
cient ground for active intervention.
Mr.. Balfour characterizes Tchit-
cherin's representations concerning
the civic militia as being a concession 1
to Poland as "evidently meant as a
Jest. and so far neither requires nor
deserves a reply" He considers. how
ever. that it is a jest requiring ex-
PLANTATION from the soviet government.
Polish Notes Made Public.
Washington, Sept. 4.-POland has
declined to ieOpardiZe her military OPP
erations against the bolsheviki by
cal boundaries" laid down at the
peace conference.
Replying to Secretary Colbys sug-
gestion that Poland remain within the
lines specified by the peace confer |
ence the Polish government states its |
position as follows:
Notwithstanding the sympathetic |
attitude of our allies, the Polish ma |
ton had TO face the danger alone, |
and political events proved that. it |
must in the first place rely upon its |
own military strength. If military OPP |
eratiOnS neceSsitated the measures to |
prevent a renewed invasion of Poland. |
1t could hardly be considered fair that |
artificial boundaries that do not bind |
one opponent should interfere with
the military operations of the other"

tween the American and Polish gov
ernments relative to the POlish-Rus-
sian situation was made public at the
