BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE ring around
Warsaw is Tightening hourly, accord
ing to telegram from K6nirsbcrg to
the "Dcutsche Allgemeine Zetung."
A great Russian army is concentrate
ing barely ten miles from the German
frontier, with the object, apparently
of marching into the so-called Polish
corridor and thus cutting. off the rail
way lines and roads severing Warsaw
from Danzig and the sea. The Poles,
according to the latest reports, are
retreating in the direction of Thorn.
1t is reported they have decided to de-
fend that city to the death The Rus
sian advance guards are already in the
corridor, but up to the present no seri-
Gus efforts have been made by them to
advance.
A stream Of fugitives is fleeing into
Germany before the advancing Russian
armies, creating a grave problem for
the German authorities. The Crank
furter Zeitung" urges the German gov
eminent to deal with the thousands of
men and women involved humanely,
but not to neglect the interests of the
German population.

Poland Blames Conscience
OF World for Her Plight
Warsaw Government in Proclamation, Declares if
Nation Falls 1t Will Be Due to Indifference of
Countries That Call Themselves Democratic;
Says Red Advance Menaces Western Europe

pendent Poland while firmly stating it's
attitude toward the Russian people and
Bolshevism. The American govern
ment true to It's traditions, which for
hundred years have been those Of
Poland, has sounded in this critical
hour a firm, true declaration for Po-
lands freedom and independence. In
this the United States government
maintains the position toward Poland
taken by President Wilson at the peace
conference.
Note Will Inspire New Hope
"Thc statement that the United
States will employ all available means
will, | am convinced, inspire Poland
with a new spirit Of hope as soon as it
is known. But Immediately the ques-
ton presents itself as to what is meant
by the phrase, all available means,
which the American government states
it is willing to render in defense Of
Poland's independence and territorial
integrity. All who know what is TAX
ing place in Poland at the present mo-
ment-the organization of thousands
of volunteers, their need for clothing,
rifles and ammunition, the influx of a
million refugees who have fed west
Red army, increasing the spread of the
dreaded typhus-all who realize this
will readily understand what Poland
needs, and needs Immediately, before
it is too late.
Such aid is rendered moro impera-
tive by the announcement Of the So
Wet terms Of armistice. Not only do
they require the rehabilitation of Po-
lands armies, but behind their terms
they seek to clear for the Red army
the passage to Germany, and even fur
Their. This is. therefore, no time to
enter into the theoretical discussion
of what aid might be rendered by the
phrase all available means.
No War With Russian People
"The continued accusations directed
against Poland that she is mperialistic
mean to me that in the minds of many
there is a complete misunderstanding
of the psychology and tactics of Boil
sEevism. Bolshevism is only possible by
the continued advance of the Red army
and through the provocation of COM
Munist revolution In other countries.
Poland and her government have long
understood this, and in order to pre-
vent humiliation by the advancing
wave, and seeking to protect others, was
forced to undertake for defensive pur-
poses an offensive action.
"Our war is not and never was a war
with the Russian people, for whom Pc
land has sincere and true sympathy
This was realized by some of the most
eminent Russians-the great writer Me
reskowski, politicians or high esteem
such as Rodiczew, Sawikow, a leader of
social revolutionists; Gipplns, Phil
osophow and many others who appealed
to the Polish nation for assistance for
Russia. This cooperation of some Of
the most brilliant representatives OF
Russia with the Polish government and
Polish army proves conclusively that
the real Russia is on our side, and that
the policy of the United States toward
Russia, as stated in this note, is es
sentially that of Poland"

Southern Russian Leader
Has Defeated BoIsheuik
Troops Numerous Times

The territories controlled by Gen
eral Baron Peter Wrangel comprise
the Crimea peninsula, or the Taurde
province. and Il region along the Black
Sea coast, dominated by Don, Kuban
and Terck Cossacks. The Wrangel
government also controls parts of
southern Russia directly north of the
Black Sea coast, including the prov
iNce Of Ekaterinoslav and a part of
the southern extremity of the Don
region which the Bolshcviki have been
unable to reoccupy, following the col
lapse of the movement headed by Cen
eral Dcnikine.
The forces of General Wrangel con-
sist of about 100000 men. including
troops organized by him in the Crimea.
and about 100000 Cossacks who fed
from the Don, following the reoccupa-
Bolshcviki.
General Wrangel has not as vet un-
dertaken any major offensive against
the Bolsheviki, although his troops
have fought several battles with them.
most of which have resulted favor
ably to his forces
1t Is not the policy of the govern
ment Of General Wrangel to under
take any advance on Moscow in the
immediate future, it's task being CON
fined principally to consolidating it's
position in the territories under it's
control and laying the foundation for
q new Russian democratic statehood.
Whether the decision of France to
accord General Wrangel military and
economic aid viii mean a change of
this policy and the beginning of an
offensive on large scale before win
ter makes all military operations Diff
tcult, remains to be seen.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II lBy The
cial proclamation issued at Warsaw,
has solemnly warned the world that if
che Is overthrow by the Russian Boil
sheviki her fall will be due not only to
"overbcaring might" but 'to the in
difference of n world which calls it
self democratic"
The proclamation was issued by the
Polish Council of National Defense and
Legation. 1t was declared that "for
the crime to be committed on the Wis
tula we are making the conscience of
the nations of the world responsible"
Text Of Proclamation
The text of the proclamation follows:
"ln the critical hour of it's decisive
struggle Poland turns to the nations
Of the world to tell them that her fall
will be due not only to overbearing
might, but also to the Indifference Of
a world which calls itself democratic
and freedom loving. world of prin
nations. Can the conscience of the
world be still regarding the crimes to
be committed on the Vistula by the
former generals of Nicholas?
"At this most tragic hour and in
view of our endless misery, in view of
the crime to be committed on the
Vistula, we are making your con-
science, the conscience of the nations
of the world, responsible. Your in
difference can once, as in 1772, 1895,
1881 and 1868, allow these troops Of
the East to destroy the beginnings of
freedom, which, founded in the ruins
may now disappear beneath Bo!shcvisr
imperialism. May your conscience stir
you into action. If Polish freedom
dies tomorrow yours will be threat
cned. On the Sth Of September, 1881,
the Russian army captured Warsaw
second Waterloo. Think how the fall
Of Poland may become the commence
ment of a new world war with a
hecatomb a hundred fold greater, which
the free democracies of the West Will
have to place on the altar of their
own national defense.
Threatens Western Europe
"Bolshevist victory on the Vistula
threatens all western Europe, new
world war hangs over the world like a
storm cloud.
"Wake up, nations of the world, hui
manity, right and truth call you! You
hesitate? Are you afraid Of war? 1t
will como to you it came to us. 1t
is on your THRESHOLD; it will be too
late to save yourselves. Not only our
