BY EARLE c. REEVES.
International News Service,

LONDON, July 2s.-The question
Of peace or war in eastern Europe
was put squarely up to Russia today
by the allies. France and Great
Britain are in complete accord in
the new Russian policy. Their
agreement was sealed at the Bou-
logne conference Of Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Millerand,
which ended last night.
ULTIMATUM DELIVERED.
note has been dispatched to Mos
cow notifying the Soviet government
that Russia must consent to a gen
eral peace parley, with the allies as
participants. IL peace is to be con-
cluded with Poland and the other
states bordering Russia.
The allies fear that the Russians
might attempt to inflict a "Brest-
Litovsk peace" unless the allied
statesmen are present to protect the
interests Of Poland and the smaller
states.
1t now appears that Russia's pro-
posal for a peace parley sought only
allied sanction while the soviet gov
ernment desired to make and en-
force its own terms without inter-
ference from the entente.
ANSWER Is AWAITED.
An answer to tn, allies note de-
manding participation by the entente
is now awaited.
1t is understood that the Allies have
been influenced by the slowness of
the Russians in ceasing hostilities fol-
lowing their acceptance of Poland'y
plea for an armistice. There was a
brief lull in lighting after the ex-
change OF wireless communications
between Warsaw and Moscow last
Saturday. but this has been followed
by news OF fresh advances by the
Russian army on the Polish front
The Soviet war office, instead of
opening armistice negotiations at
once, announced postponement until
July 80.
FRANCE BACKS POLAND.
The presence OF Marshal Foch at
Boulogne indicates that military
measures for the protection OF Poland
were discussed in the event that the
Russo Polish war again breaks out
in all its fury.
France is insistent upon full pro-
lection for Poland under any circum-
stances-if peace negotiations open or
IL war Is continued. France will play
the dominant role in laying down
peace terms IL the Russians consent to
general peace conference with
Allied statesmen present as active
participants.
Measures to assist Germany In
financing coal deliveries to the Allies
also were discussed by the premiers
at Boulogne.

Berlin Official.
BY FRANK MASON.

BERLIN, July 27.-The tragic
possibility that Germany may be-
come the battlefield for the power
full army of Soviet Russia if the
proposed London peace parley fails,
and Poland is completely crushed
loomed blackly today.
The speech Of Foreign Secretary
Won Simons in the national assem-
bly,, on Monday, when he praised
Bolshevism, and declared that Po-
land must be q bridge and not a
barrier between Germany and Rus
sia was a bombshell. -
NAY MAKE PROPOSALS.
A commission OF independent So
cialists" (the radical group allied
with the communists) Is in Moscow,
and the Won Simons speech has given
rise to reports that this commission
may bear proposals from Germany, to
become effective in the event that
Allied pressure breaks down the neu-
trality that Germany has proclaimed
in the Russo Polish war. This COM
mission is made up Of such firebrands
as Herr Dauemig, Herr Dittman and
Herr Crispien.
Another significant development
was the departure for Moscow OF VIC
tor Kepp. the Russian soviet envoy
to Berlin.
A storm Of newspaper comment has
followed the speech Of DR.. Won
Simons. Extracts from the leading
editorials follow:
Deutsche Zeitung-"Neither George
Ledebour nor Herr Cohn could have
spoken better for the independent so
cialists."
Frciheit (organ of the commun-
ists)-"Greetings to Herr Won Simons'
He Is a white crow in a black mock.
His name is now on the blacklist OF
the reactionaries."

speech was undignihed. He is fail

on Soviet Request.

Although officials here are with
holding comment on the Polish situa-

ton on the request for a statement
from this nation with regard to Po-
land, there was evident satisfaction
here today in the reports from Lon
don that Great Britain and France
have agreed to refuse to enter gem
cral peace conference with Soviet
Russia unless Poland is included.
There was no indication today from
the White House that the President
Is ready to issue a statement pledging
the moral support Of the United states
to Poland, and 1t was generally be-
lieved that any action in this direc-
tion will be withheld pending the out,
come of the armistice.
SALE UNDER DISCUSSION.
At the present time this Govern
ment Is considering a request from
the Polish government for the pur-
chase of a large number of shoes for
Polish military forces. Secretary OF
War Baker has pointed out that sup
plies previously furnished Poland
were sold prior to the outbreak of
hostilities, and there is some question
now as to whether neutrality would
be violated by the sale OF shoes for
the Polish armies.
Secretary Baker today stated that
War Department supplies to the total
amount of ST. ,OO0, 900 were sold to Po-
land. OF this amount S59,OOO,OOO
worth were sold by the liquidation
Commission in France and $4,000
900 worth by the division Of sales In
Washington.
POLAND GIVES NOTES.
For the total obligation, the Polish
government gave six-year notes bear
ing interest at per cent, which have
been deposited in the United States
Treasury, the Secretary said. Poland
has given no other security and no
part has been paid in cash.

small portion, amounting to about
