Polish Democratic party, who resigned
recently as a member of the Council of
National Defense and proceeded to
Posen, is quoted as saying at public
meeting that the army needed not only
to yepulse the enemy. but to restore or
der in Poland. The radical newspapers
are accusing Dmowski OF scheming
against the government.
Bolsheviki Blamed for Delay
Responsibility for continuance of the
fighting in Poland was yesterday placed
upon the Russian Soviet government by
Prince Eugene Sapieha, Polish Foreign
Minister, in telegram sent to Sir Eric
Drummond, general secretary of the
League of Nations. The Foreign Min
listers telegram was as follows:
Gas member of the League of Ma
tions the Polish government thinks it
is its duty to officially inform the
league that the attitude of the Rus
star Soviet government has made
cessation of hostilities impossible.
This is true notwith standing the fact
that the Polish governments declara-
ton to the Supreme Council July 9 en-
phcsi7ed it's desire for peace, and not
witustanding reiterated efforts to OBJ
tain an armistice and q just and last
ing treaty.
"Under tortuous pretexts the Soviet
government has up to the present re-
fused to enter peace negotiations or
fix armistice conditions Nevertheless,
the Polish government has not and Will
not cease to do everything possible to
conclude an honorable peace, but de-
ciines all responsibility for prolonga-
ton of the war, which entirely falls on
the Soviet government.
Cannot Accept Disarmament
Poland earnestly desires peace, but
could not accept arnstce terms in
volving disarmament in any form, the
Foreign Minister declared to the cor
respondent to-day.
''Poland is not going to capitulate,"
said he. 1--WE will fight to the last man
rather than that. There is no question
of disarmament. If we are disarmed
with the Soviet troops forty miles
from Warsaw it would be like throw
ing up our hands"
Every possible effort is being made
by the Polish government to support
the army facing the Bolsheviki at the
gates of the capital. Sleeping ears
have been removed from all trains
except those running to Vienna, and
the telephone system is being devoted
exclusively to government require
ments. Women arc playing a promi-
nent part in all the activities, many
society leaders supervising sidewalk
lunch stands at busy corners, where
soldiers are given food and drink.
Mattresses from hotel and cafes
have taken the places of men in ALI
of Warsaw's commercial houses, the
war Offices and other branches of the
government. More women are at
present employed than at any time
since the foundation of the republic.
Six Killed in Plane Accident
Air raids over the Soviet lines
along the Warsaw front are now a
daily part of the city's defense,
aviators flying from the Warsaw aero
drome every twenty or thirty minutes
for the front One airplane caught
the pilot and observer being killed,
and four civilians were killed and six
injured by the explosion of bombs
when the plane struck the earth.
Simon S. Askenasy, member Of
one of the oldest Jewish families in
Warsaw and professor of history in
Lemberg University, has left for
Paris as the second Polish delegate to
the League of Nations. A branch of
the American Legation has been es-
tablished at the Hotel Monopol, in
Posen where it Will remain to swat
developments. John Campbell White,

as possible.
