movement of troops from the east.
There li no douht that the Bolsheviki
have crossed the Bug River on a wide
front. The Poles, however, hnve thrown
up defences west of the river, and
French military opinion, based on the
fatigue of the Bolsheviki and the faulty

Poles' have a chance of winning the
great battle for the capital.
The cutting of the Warsaw - Dantlg
railroad by the Soviet forces would not
be a vital loss to Poland, according to
reports received to-day from the allied
military experts In Warsaw. They point
out that the railway route through
Thorn, West Prussia, while not a direct
line can handle a much larger volume
of supplies than the Warsaw-Ianzig
line. The Vistula River route g also

holds not to recognize the Lenine. Gov
ernment of Russia In any form.
In its explanations of position, if one
is made, this Government will make it
clear that It sinnds by Its policy of
"watchful waiting" toward Russia,
standing by while the Russians work out
their own salvation. The determination
that hu long been hel l here to oppose
py spoliation of Russia proper is main
tained and applies to ilreat Britain as
well as to Japan. The final attitude of
this Government will depend largely
upon the decisions reached at the Hvthe
c onference. If no assurance of protect
ing the Integrity nf Russian territory as
established at the peace conference Is
glvejt, such a formal declaration may be
naked for by the I'nited States.
There Is no disguising the fart that
the allied Powers have beeti considera
bly disturbed by this attitude of disap
proval of their course on the part of
the Cnited states, accompanied as it
has been by a determination to with
draw from all participation pending the
