to the Russians' lack of ammunition.
It has been ascertained from the

artillery was not brought into play, as

BERLIN, Aug. 6.?The advance of
the Russians in Poland has provoked
grave uneasiness on the part of the
German government, which foresees the
possibility that the Allies may de?
mand authorization for t!;e transport
of troops across German territory.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
a speech before the Reichstag yester?
day, gave expression to the govern
alarm. The address made a sen?
sation in the Chamber and the excited
deputies collected m the corridors to
discuss it. The scenes enacted re?
called those of August six years ago.
It was regarded as significant that all
parties from the j linkers to the Com?
munists applaudc?! the Minister's dec?
larations, which were also ihdorsed
by the newspapi i .
"Vorwaerts," the moderate Socialist
newspaper, says tin situation is grave
because France is concentrating troops
on the left bank of the Rhine and in?
tends to try to transport them through
G? rmany. "Germany's Neutrality
Threatened'' is the headline in huge
type published by the extreme Social?
ist paper, "Freiheit." The "Berliner
Tag blatt" says the Foreign Minister's
deel: rations changed the parliamentary
situation with lightning like rapid ty.
!? declares all Germany stands un ted
in resistance to any attempt to violate
its neutrti.ity.
The German labor organizations are
marshalling their forces to declare a
genera] strike and to bring economic
and Ind stria] machiner?, to a standstill
if Germany is asked to allow troops to
be transferred across her frontier. The
German railway work rs' union has
?riven strict orders that only regular
i (?? ins should be operated. Public ex
cit? ';. nt here is vi ry greal.
BERLIN, Aug. 6 (By The Associated
Press). The excitement concerning
the possibility of Prance sending
troops through Germany to the aid of
Poland is subsiding. Konstantin Feh
renbach, the Chancellor, is going to hi i
home in Freiburg and Dr. Waiter Si?
mons, the Foreign Minister, intends to
proceed to Switzerland i nless there
are untoward developments in the situ?
ation.
The belief prevails here that neither
tin? Chancellor nor the Foreign Minis?
ter would leave Berlin if the situntion
were as critical as the speech "f Dr.
Simons in the Reichstag Thursday!
seemed to indicate.

Paris to Concur
In London Note
To Bolsheviki
(Continued from page one)
this opinion is agitated not only against
the Bolsheviki, but against Germany
and England. The "Temps" accuses
England of temporizing in the present
critical situntion just as she did in
August, li'il.
"If England had then taken her
stand against (lern.any a week- before,
who knew., whether war would have re?
sulted'.'" it asks. The paper makes
strong objection to the speech of Herr
Simons, Germany's Foreign Ministi r,
in the Reichsrat, in which he .dated that
Germany intended to sec that her neu?
trality -.vas not violated, li says: "Judg?
ing from a resana? 01' the speech received
in Paris, Simons used singularly gi'ave
and threatening language."
The German Foreign Minister said
the situation was strained. He !?.?, it
hi. understood that if France wished
m violate German neutrality Germany
would prepare to defend lerself by
[force. The "Temps" commet s: "Four?
teen months after the sign ig of the
Treaty of Versailles, after Germany
; has violated so many of her engage
ments, after deserving so many pun?
ishments and receiving so many coi
cessions this is the unie the Berlin
go?, ernment adopts."
"Why does Germany, which continual?
ly is evoking her feebleness and state
of ruin, now dare to us? thrci Is V"
asks the "Temps." "It is because the
German government has a pact with
the Bolsheviki. With th? ir aid she
c ?;;.? iders hersi .:' str mger I nan the Al?
lies. Why also do the Bo shevjki at?
tach so little importance to the rela?

explanation. The Bolsli ivik have a

The "Temps" concludes: "There is
no longer a ny use siiying: 'Let i

Keeps in Touch With Allies
The Stale Department is keeping in
constant touch with the British and
i French governments, and is being fully
informed of every move considered by
those governments. Strong intima- |
tions were made by department olll- |
cials to-day that substantial British
and French aid already has reached
the Polish armies, and that the stiffttn
ing of the Polish lines ist duo to mili?
tary help from Great Britain and
France.
The determination of the Polish
government not to be stampeded into
an unnecessarily hurried exit from
Warsaw and to resist to the utmost
the Bolshevik offensive that continues
to be directed against the capital de?
spite the Polish readiness for an armis?
tice was indicated in a dispatch re?
ceived to-day by the State Department;
from the American Legation in War?
saw.
The dispatch, dated August .1, showed
that the Polish government, while not
overlooking the possible necessity of
evacuating the old capital, was firm
in its purpose to fight the enemy to
the last.
The department's information tended
lo indicato that the Bolsheviki were
purposely avoiding definite commit?
ments with respect to the opening of
armistice negotiations to prolong the
hostilities and carry the fighting
through to Warsaw.
Reds Unwilling to Treat.
The Polish Foreign Office on the
night of August 2 received a report
from the Polish armistice delegates
that the Bolsheviki would take up the
question of peace at a conference at
.Minsk on August I, but that the Bol?
sheviki were; not willing to begin
armistice negotiations. This new
proposition brought a halt to the [dans
for consideration of suspension of hos?
tilities, as the delegation appointed by
the Polish government was not. empow?
ered to conclude peace.
Information under ?late of August ?1
indicated that the Bolsheviki, follow?
ing their occupation of Brest-Litovsk
and Lomza, continued the advance to?
ward Warsaw, as already indicated in
press dispatches.

grave, but as a result of to-day's de- !
i*clopmcnts it is regarded as being'
easier. There has been no rupture in j
the negotiations with the Russia.?;
delegation. Much, it is now held, will,
depend en the attitude of France. \
it has been decided that Premier
Lloyd George, who will be accompanied
by Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson,
will meet M. Millerand, French Pre?
mier, and .Mu?.dial Foe!) on Sunday,
either at Folkestone or Boulogne, to |
decide upon a course of action.
Confer With Soviet Envoys
After a Cabinet Council to-day, held.
: t ;, consider the answer of the Soviel
government to the British represen?
tations, sent through M. Kamencff, of
the Russian delegation, and which were I
' regarded on the whole as conciliatory,!
Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law,
Lord Privy Soal, and Field Marshal ;
; Wilson were in conference with M.
K meneff and M. Krassin, ajiother So?
viet representative, for more than five
hour? al the Premier's official residence
in Downing Street.
The entin situation was exhaustively
reviewed and the government's view
communicated to the Russians. Espe?
cial emphasis was laid on the necessity
...? ?temming the advance of the Red
irmy into Poland proper. As a result
of the conference M. Kamencff will
; ,??.' he in a position to communicate
with Moscow a id get the Soviet gov?
ernment's answer by Sunday, when it
can be con idered by the Allied con?
ference and decisions taken, which will
: be communicated to the House ol Com?
mons Monday, as al ready has bf ? n
; promised by Mr, Lloyd George.
.May Permit Peace Parley
Il . believed that, ii .France is will?
ing, Mr. Lloyd George will agree to
peace being negotiated dii'ect by Po?
land and Russia. It is generally grsnt
I e'.i ih.at, in accordance with the practice
j of previous wars, Russia is not called
upi a to suspend operations until an
armi tice is signed. The Polish dele
gi '. to the Bo shevik conference were
expected to arrive in .Minsk to-day and
bi gin ncgot iations.
The fact that Field Marshal Wilson '
was early summoned to the joint con?
ference al Downing Street, which last?
ed from 3:15 this afternoon until after
9 o'clock to night, and the fact that he,
with Mr. Bonar Law, remained until
the end is taken as indication that
military questions were fully dis
em cd. Premier Lloyd George had in?
tended to leave town early to-day for a
..?? '?:? end in the country, but when his
car arrived lie ordered it sent away.
Blockade Threat Denied i
It is semi-offtcially denied that the |
British government ever threatened to
r?impose the Russian blockade it? event
of Soviet refusal of the Allied terms.'
Such a blockade, it is declared, may
have been mentioned, but only as a
potential weapon at the disposal of the
.allies. .
The semi-official statement says, the
ter,ns of the communication sent to
Moscow cannot be published before its i
receipt by the Soviet government, but
says that all evidence points in the
direction of a sincere and patient at?
tempt to rind a satisfactory solution
of :tn admittedly difficult problem. Be?
lief is expressed by the statement that
a message to Moscow was drawn up
by Mr. Lloyd George and agreed to by
the Russian delegates
M. Kameneff sent Premier Lloyd:
George last night a long communica?
tion giving the Sovist government's
reply to Great Britain's note of Tues?
day with regard to the delay "in the :
armistice negotiations.
Responsible Guaranties Demanded
M. Kameneff's statement declares the ?
Soviet government never desired to:
combine the negotiations for an armis?
tice with negotiations for peace, but
that it demands that the terms of the
armistice include reasonable guaran?
ties which would prevent attempts
on the par of Poland to use the period
of the armistice for the renewal of
hoi ' ile acts.
The sole obstacle in the way of the;
beginning of negotiations for the
suspension of military operations, says
the .tote, is the absence of the Polish
delegates, whose return is being
? d by the representatives of the
Soviet government in order that nego?
tiations may be immediately opened.
The not.? continues:
"The Russian Soviet government:
aga\n declares that it is firm in
the ?cognition of the freedom and'
independence of Poland, and its will- ?
ingness to grant to the Polish state;
wi.ler frontiers than were indicated by
the Supreme Council and mentioned in ?
the British note of July 20.
Aim of London Conference
With regard to the proposed London !
peace conference the note says in sub-?
stance that the Soviet government had '
proposed that the conference be only
w'.th the leading powers of the En?
tinte, because the usefulness of such
. conference arose from the fact that
without the assistance of the leading
power? war could not be waged by:
other states against Russia, and so the .
peace of Europe wouid be guaranteed.
The Kameneff statement continues:
"We arc still of the opinion that
direct negotiations with Poland for)
eace would serve the interest both !
if the Russian and Polish peoples."
The conference in London between j
Russia and the. leading powers of the i
Entente, says .lie communication,,
"would have for its object the regu
larization of the international position
ol' Russia and the settlement of all
outstanding questions between her and
the Allies for the benefit of general :
peace.
The guarantees the Soviet govern- !
ment desires that. Poland will not use ;
the armistice period for a renewal of
hostilities, it. is set forth, include her
partial disarmament and the cessation
of the recruiting of conscript, soltliers
as weil as voluntary enrollments.
Near Renewal of Hostile Acts
M. Kamencff also refers to his inter
view with Premier Lloyd George Wed?
nesday night and says that he forward?
ed to tii.' Soviet governmenl the Prem?
ier's Statement "with, regard to the
decision of the British government to'
side with Poland and to renew the
blockade in consequence of tin? inva?
sion of ethnographical Poland by the
troops of the Soviet government."
Of the guaranties desired, M. Kame?
neff says:
"'?'lie history of the Polish attack
upon Russia, the patent facts of sys?
tematic and uninterrupted assistance
to Poland on the part of France, and
the presence on the right wine,' of the
Polish army of the troops of General
Wrangel, who also is supported by the
French government, render ;t; a matter
of necessity for the Russian Soviet
government to demand th,' inclusion in
the terms o?' the armistice with Poland
of such reasonable guaranties a.? would
prevent, all attempts on the part of
Poland to use the armistice period for
the renewal of hostile acts against
Rus. ?a."
Says Poles Declined Proposal
M. Kameneff says thai, il was the
absence of powers to deal with such
..Utes: ?"its that led to the Soviet aski ig
the Polish delegates to oh;am an ex?
tension of their ?lowers from their
government.
'I he Soviet deli tan?- propo ;cd that
wireless be used and the negotiations f
for an armistice he begun ..;?? soon as
Warsaw replied that a courier had left
there with new credentials, M. Kameneff '
?ay i. He adds that the Polish delegates

Polish Reds Send Plea
Here for World S?rike
Want All Ships Bearing Aid to
Bolsheviki's Foes He!<! Up;
Blame Capitalist Class
Declaring that the Russo-Polish war
is not a war for the defense of Polish
independence, but is for the defense
of tlie domination of Polish and Euro?
pean capitalism at the cost of the blood
of tin- working masses, a call for a
world strike and boycott against Poland
was received here yesterday from the
Central Committee of the Polish Com?
munist Party.
The communciation announces that
"the chains that hind the Polish work- ;
ers are not only forged in Warsaw, but
in London and Washington"; also that
: ?; ? " Polish worker ? see in th?' R. d
army no conquerors threatening their ;
freedom, hut an ally in the struggle
for emancipation."
The gist of the call is: "Boycott al!
help for the Polish government. Let
no military transport, no ship, no
train with arms and ammunition pass
through."
The epistle concludes with: "Help;
Soviet Russia! Long live Soviet Rus?
