PARIS, July n0.The war clouds
seem to be gathering on the eastern
horizon in Europe. Although disturbed
conditions in Upper Slcsia are partly
responsible for Frances decision to
send more troops into the plebiscte
area, it was learned to-day that the
government also is not discountng the
grave danger Of renewal of warfare
between Poland and soviet Russia
which seems to be brewing
The French have reports that both
the Poles and the sovicts are mobilizing
now classes OF troops, apparently
against cventualities that may develop
suddenly. There is no reason to be-
!leve that France is preparing to give
actual military support to the Poles in
case of an invasion, but there are many
signs that France is not willing to be
caught mapping rs fer as her interests
IN Upper Sllesia are concerned. The
government is not ignorant Of the fact
that General Pilsudski, surrounded by
Russian counter revolutionary leaders,
is urging Poland to join the anti-so-
Wet forces in another great rush
against the Reds.
BoIslseviki Charge Bad Faith
The BolsheviBi are loudly accusing
the Poles Of having shown bad faith
in carrying out the treaty of Rig,
which bars revolutionary activities in
Poland. L'Humanit6, Paris news
paper With radical tendencies, charges
to-day that France is preparing to aid
Russian counter revolution that is
being stirred up IN Warsaw, and that
the French daily are sending train
leads CT munitions to Poland, kumania
and Upper Silesia.

newspaper, asserts that secret alli-
ance exists between Rumana and Po-
land against Russia. L'Humanite
charges:
"Desrite the terms of the treaty of
Riga, SavinEov was installed in War

According to this newspaper, the Mos

sion Of SavinLov from Poland because

suggestion the Warsaw government
sent all insolent note to the Bolsheviki
denying that Savihkov was acting as

Lithuania and Esthonia Fear Reds
Diplomatic messages have been re-
ceived this week in Paris from Lithu-
ahia and Esthonia, which are threat
encd with Bolshevik Invasion, re-
mlnding the Allies that the Supreme
Council promised to support the lree
Baltic states in the event Of rSnewed
soviet aggression. A joint message from
the two countries points out that al
though Esthonia and Lithuania have
the promise of flnland's aid if the Reds
attack them, this is not enough.

comments on the situation thus:
Perhaps the policy of General Pill
snGski toward Russia gains him certain
critics, but this does not justify the
lltimatum that the soviet government
addressed to Poland. One is forced to
ask whether Moscow isn't specializing
Oil conflict between Germany and Po-
land over Upper Siiesia, thus occupying
the Polish army on the west front,
which would permit the Red army TO re-
sumo its march on Warsaw after an in
terval of more than year.
"On the utles hand, no doubt there
are those in Germany who speculate
