PA-RIIS, August 10.—Tho hnttlc which i! 91111661811 to decide the fate of Warsaw has not yet really begun. according to the latest news reaching ‘Paris-q but both sides are gathering forces for the final struggle. General Heller's newly formed army" occupies a strongly entrenched position In the fork he; tween the Narew and the Bug Riv- ers where an army is able to block the approach upon Warsaw of a numerically superior army, as was demonstrated In the Napoleonic campaign of1807, and during the Russo Polish ~wsr in 1831.

in the opinion of military obser- vers the principal danger for the tPoles is the advance along the Rus slan frontier, because It would force them to extend their front west- ward. when they need to keep their armies concentrated us much as possible east of Warsaw. The Poles thus far have been able to ignore this advance which is merely a demonstration but it is consider- ed likely that the Red s-tnff will avoid ibattle In the fork until strong or forces can be pushed toward Mlawu. Heavy fighting continues on the oiglttv mile front along the middtie Bug, between Vladimir, Vol

Solution.

(usioeds ssassl wuoq) LON-DON August 9.—The Hytiic conference between the Premiers of Great ‘Britain and France is over and there is no possibility of action from it until after Lloyd George addresses the Commons tomorrow. The Russia-n Polish armistice peace conference will be held‘ at JMInsk Wednesday. The Russians are apparently bent on arriving ‘at a satisfactory peace with Poland and the Poles are em- powered by the Allies to conclude s peace. if t do not concede to Russia certain basic rights which the Alileshave stipulated all ‘thought of armed: assistance to Pol and by the Allies is off.

Such in brief was the Russian Polish Entente situation here to- night. The means for ‘aiding Po- land, as reported to Premiers Mill erand and Lloyd George by the mili tury advisers at liythc, consist oi’ rélmposing the blockade, supplying munitions anti giving technical mili tsry advice. No action is to be tak- en until* the House approves of the plan. After that the plan may he held up provided the Russian Pole ‘peace conference gives signs of re storinig peace on the bilsis of an independent Poland.

Mean-time well informed observ- ers are confident the wur will be ended in a few days and that Rus- sian trade relations with Europe will be resumed shortly thereafter.

The liythe conference plan of action came, it is conceded, fol- lowing the rejection of the French plea for ‘an army for the aid of tPoinnd. Marshal Foch is still con vinced that Poland is not beaten and with the assurance of speed and subslanttaiassistance in the field could stiffen i-ts resistance so the Russians could ultimately be beaten. M. Milierand who had been ‘firm in urging the French policy. Ywhiich included the blockade and ‘strong defensive measures. was ob llged to yieldi some-what to the milder policy of Mr. Lloyd George ‘who was determined that no Ai- lied troops should be used in Po- land. if is announced officially that the Allies are in complete agree- ‘mcnt regarding what action is to -be taken respecting the Polish sit- ution, subject. In the case of Great

House of .

iBritain, to the approval of Par- liament. Until after the Premier's statement tomorrow no further ofll cial announcement will be made.

LON-DON. Aug. 10.—-Ruseia is ready to start the withdrawal of‘ her forces to a line stipulated in 1918 by Supreme Council, provi- ding Poland's allies. particularly France, agrees to armistice terms and undertakes not to advance and not to sutpport any advance against Soviet Russia on any front and to withdraw Wrangie's army from the Crimes, accordingly.

Poland Will Defend Country to The Last Drop of Blood.

WARSAW, August 10.—-A proc- lamation issued by the Council of Ministers of Poiands says in part, "d-efend the home fires and begin the holy war before the gates of tvursaw’. The Soviet hopes to oc- cupy Wsrsuw and from there dic- tate lhe terms of peace." The proc iamuiion also says that the Polish government is desirous of reaching a fist and continuous peace but will

defend the country till the last drop 0f her blood. Wsraaw Doomed. PARIS, Aug. 10-—'i‘hat Warsaw

is doomed is the view everywhere today in civil political circles. Pa- nis is reflecting the belief express- ed wthin the past few days that there will be another battle of Marne. ‘Circles, which up to the present had been moat optimistic

concede that Boisheviki have reached Danzig-Warsew railroad atj Oiechanow, severing the con-

nection between Warsaw and the

sea. Military circles point out. that the Polish capital is now hemmed in from northeast, east,

southeast and consider its fail a question of days, perhaps hours. The latest Polish Communique an- nouncing that the Bolshevlkl have captured Przasnysz and are mov- ing westward toward Mlawa and, Ciecbanow, has created painful impression in Paris. after- noon papers announcing that the capture of the latter town was H foregone conclusion. Rumors ab- soiutely unconfirmed were circula- ted on the stock exchange yester- day afternoon that General Piisud- skis was a suicide. lt. brought the market operations to complete standstill. . WARSAW, Aug. 10.-\Przansnysz city, about 41 miles directly north of Warsaw has been captured by Boishevikl cavalry fighting along the Prussian frontier. detachments are approaching

Mlawa about 9 miles further west. Some have been reported near Cie- chanow, sttill nearer this city.

This is one of the most rapid strides the Soviet ‘forces have made since crossing Orzso River. their pus-h cut to the Danzig railway.
