"Out Of the fifteen Russian de-

relative to demobilization-is ac.
cepted, and that only on condition
that Russia will take a similar course
that is to say, Russia must. de-

Bialystok southward are declared be-
yond discussion. The boundary line
between Poland and Russia, as laid
down by Earl Curzon, British secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, Is de-
clared unacceptable. as 1t involves a
third partition Of Poland.
Other Terms Rejected.
Demands for distribution of land
to Polish victims of war and the re-
turn Of cattle and horses driven away
by Polish land owners from White
Snthenia and Lithunia are rejected as
interfering with internal affairs Of
Poland and violation of Polish SOW
ereignty.
"Other terms are rejected without
qualification, and Poland demands a
line Of demarcation between Polish
and Russian territory based on stra-
tegic considerations and the idea of
buffer states"
The Poles are said to have refused
to discuss the Russion demand for
railway concessions and the arming
of Polish workers. The Poles hold
that the frontier line drawn by Earl
Curzon, the British foreign secretary,

DUPONT FOUNTAIN
TO Be GEM OF ART
Bronze Statue, Removed,
Soon Will Be Sent to
Wilmington, Del.

Within the next few weeks the
bronze efngy Of Admiral Dupont
which has stood In the middle Of Du-
pont Circle for many years, will be
moved to the city Of Wilmington, Del,
the homo Of the Dupont family. and a
white marble fountain Of esthetfc de-
sign erected in its place. to perpet-
uate the memory Of the civil war
hero.
The statue and its pedestal have
been taken down and boxed ready for
transportation north on the compile
ton Of the fountain. Under the law
they cannot be turned over to the
Dupont family. the donors Of the SUBJ
stitute memorial. until the latter is
In place. Another provision OF the
law is that the United States shall
be put to no expense in or by the re,
moval of the statue, pedestal ana
foundations and the erection OF the
substitute memorial complete"
Fair progress has been made on the
fountain. The foundations have been
laid, supply and drain pipes are in
place and about half Of the marble
rim of the lower basin and the base
of the pedestal have been set. The
contractors are under bond to com
plete the structure within the present
calendar year and confidently expect
to finish the work before cold
weather sets in. The operation OF the
fountain will not be affected by Maj:
Ridley's edict against the waste of
water by fountains. for the reason
that the installation Of an electric
pump will permit the continuous use
of a single supply of water.
According to the design approved by
the Fine Arts Commission. the foun-
tain consists of a lower basin about
mental pedestal in the center. sup
porting another basin with a diameter
of about thirty feet. Water spurts
up from the center of the upper basin
and flows in three cascades to the
lower basin. The pedestal is or ma
ures in bold relief-two young women
symbolizing 1.-The sea" and "the stars"
respectively, and a classic male figure
symbolizing "the wind" There are
smaller figures Of a boat with spread
sails, dolphins and sea gulls on the

to interfere with the fun display of

who have seen the design say that the

ably in artistic beauty with any SINH
lar memorial in the National Capital,

Bartholdi fountain, the Mcmillan
fountain and the Butt-Mi1let foun-
tain.
