Paris, July lfi. All conditions laid

-Premier I,lovd George relative to nn
armistice with Poland have been ac
cepted by the Itusslan Holshevlk govern -ment,
according to a Spa dtspatrh to the
Matin.
, An Exchange Telegraph dNpntch from
Berlin today quotes the newspaper
Frnvdu one of the Russian Holshevlk
X organs, an declaring that Soviet Hussla

established In place of the present capi

London. July 1.1. The note of thn
British Government to Soviet Russia
agreeing to continue negotiations for a
resumption of trade relations and pro
posing an armistice between Soviet Uus
t la and Polnnd and also between the
' Soviet forces and General Wningel, the
, antl-HolglievIst commander in the
' Crimea, was read in the House of
Commons jesterdn by Andrew Iloimr
iaw, the government spokesman.
The note takes cognizance of the ac
ceptance of the Ituisian Soviet Govern
ment of the principles laid down in the
British memorandum of July 1. atuj of
the basis of agreement for n resumption
of trade relations and the cessation of
' hostilities and agrees to a resumption
ofj negotiations for definite trade rela
tions as soon as the Russian delegates
return to England. Then proposing au
armistice with Poland .the note said:
"The Soviet Government repeatedly
. has. declared its nnxiety to make peace
with all its neighbors. The British
Government Is no less anxious to restore
, peace throughout Europe nnd therefore
proposes the following arrangement with
this object in view :
v "That an immediate armistice be
igncd between Poluml and Soviet Rus
sia under which hostilities shall be sus
pended. That the terms of this armis
tice provide, on the one hand, that the
Polish artm shall immediately withdraw
to the lines provisionally laid down last
year by the Peace Confercme as to the
eastern boundary to which Poland Is
entitled to establish a Polish adminis
tration. "On the other hand, the arrmjtice
should provide that the army of Soviet
Kussla should stand at n dUtnmc of
fiftv kilometers east of this line. In
eastern Gallcia each army will stand on
the line they occupy nt the date of the
signature of the armistice.
"That as soon as possible thereafter
'Conference sitting under the auspices
ef the Peace Conference shall assemble
in London, to bo attended by repre
sentatives of Soviet Russin. Poland,
Lithuania, Letvia and Finland, with
the object of negotiating a linnl peace
between Russia and its neighboring
states. Representatives of eastern Gn
licia also would be invited to London
to state their case."

In the meantime the two racers were
fighting out'their windward buttle. The
Btrugglc involved effort on the part of
the Shamrock first to point up to windward-of
the Resolute and thus slinV into
the weather berth, failing to do this
because of the defender's ability to
sprint and also because of sharp han
dling of this boat.
Tho challenger eventually accepted
the leqward berth, confessing defeat.
The preparatory signal was set on the
BarrytW at 11 :45, and from that time
nntllfihc yachts were sent away there
seeored little doubt in the minds of
throso who had closely followed the pre
liminary jockejing that Besolute was
the boat which, under existing condi
tions, was holding the trump cards, so
far, at least, as jockeying for the start
was concerned.

Three minutes after crossing Resolute
went off on thn port tack, and Sham

ture that the rainstorm broke.
The afterguard of both sloops were
prepared for the downpour, howeier,
nnd the driving rain gleamed against
their oilskins. Then with n roll and a

and the ocean was blotted out as though
a ghostly curtain had been lowered.
When after a few minutes' ccssutlon
another rainstorm cume it seemed cer
tain, that the race would bo called off.
But tills was no ladles' race. When at
'1 o'clock the clouds broke there were
the racers stalling along on the star
board tack with the wind pretty well
nbeam. It wus obvious that Shamrock
had cut down the Resolute's lead. Bath
bouts were sailing without jib top
sails, evidently preparing to set big
reaching jibs.
At 1-1" it was evident that both
skippers were looking for head winds,
for thev sent up the baby jibs, which
bad been doused when the storm broke.
Both bouts were well in-shore now and
it was possible to get almost an exact
idea of the Icud which Resolute held.

Ln H C confessed as
upon it.
Hailing n launch load of well-wish-ers,
he said he felt his place was upon
the challenging sloop, but that ho cnild
not face the ordeal. Both Mr. Burton,
who sailed the Shamrock, and Mr.
Nicholson, her designer, were, on the
contrary, In a charming mood of equa
nimity. One could not be quite sure
whether they were buoyed up by ex
treme optimism or whether their mood
was altogether fatalistic.
At all events, they did not suggest
men ho within a few hours were to
go to sea and fight for the blue ribbon
of the ocean. Neither, for thnt matter,
did the afterguard of the Resolute. Her
spry Seandhnuvlau seamen were on deck
nbout .the same "time as those aboard
the Shamrock, mid her mainsail was
courting the breezes not u few min
utes after the; challenger's grcnt stretch
of canvas wns set.
Charles Francis Adams, skipper of
the defender, stepped Into a launch and
wns ferried over to tho Resolute not
long after Mr. Burton reached the dock
of his sloop. Mr. Adams, with his oje
glasses, round red face and flapping
lint, looked ns much the Bnstonlan as
a man can look, nnd his manner gave
no hint of preoccupation.
"What do you think of the, allowance
j on get?" he was asked. Mr. Adams
merely smiled. There were those who
believed thnt the challenger could never
get nway with the number of minutes
she had to spot her rival, while others,
banking upon Shamrock's reputed un
.canny speed, believed sho wag well ablo
to incur the penalty of her larger sail
area.
When the two afterguards were mar
shaled aboard the sloops, which was at
least an hour before they cast off their
moorings, they presented an imposing
synod of national talent.
Kxports Aboard Yachts.
On the Shamrock were the following
experts: William P. Burton, who di
rected the yacht throughout the race and
who handles the wheel on the wind:
Colonel Duncan Ncill, steersman of
the sloop when she Is sailing with the
wind astern : Claude Hickman, the navi
gator; Charles Nicholson, the designer;
Mrs. W. P. Burton, who will act. as
timer; Captain Albert Turner, the pro
fessional sailing mnster, and Captain.
Diaper, of the twcnty-thrce-mctcr
Shnmrock. In addition there was Sher
man Hoyt. of the New York Yacht Club,
who acted as the representative of the
defender on the enemy's deck.
Reolute had the following after
guard : Charles Francis Adams, the
skipper; John Parkinson, steersman of
the sloop off the wind ; Georgo Nichols,
rear commodore of the New York Yacht
Club, navigator: George Cormack.
timer; Chris Christlnnseu, professional
Bnillng master, and John Christiansen,
mnte. The Royal Ulster Yacht Club's
representative on the Hesoluto wns H.
L. Garrett.
The rival sloops lay nbout half a
mile apart and when the Shamrock had
got her mainsail jacket adjusted many
glasses were directed upon it from tho
deck of the Resolute.
"Will ,ou have one like it?" was the
question burled from a press launch to
the directors of the Resolute. There
was a wave of the hand, but there wns
no doubt that If Shamrock won today's
event the defender would como to the
line next Saturday with something of
the sort to fill the opening between the
mainsail and the mast.
It was fascinating to watch the
white-clad seamen of the two sloops as
they moved hither and thither about
the smooth gleaming decks, two teams
of thirty men each, everv man lu his
appointed place joining effort in precise
unison with thnt of his fellows. They
say the men of the Shamrock arc not
as well trained as those of the Resolute.
Maybe so; maybe this will show In the
knockdown and drag out of tho wind
ward thresh, but certainly their work
in ranking tho emerald racer ready for
the day's test was snappy und cohosh e
as the most exacting fccu martinet could
wish.
First of all the jibs and staysails of
the two yachts were sent wriggling up
the stays in stops nnd when this done
the sailors tailed onto the main sheets,
raising the mainsails. The tug James
Dougherty, euguged by tho defending
crowd to chanerone the defender out to
the Ambrose lightship, lay nearby, while
the tuc Governor Mmltn. wnose crew
had painted the hull green in honor of
Sir Thomas, wbr stationed by the
Shamrock ready to tako ft tow line when
the word was civcn. At tno time no
spectator craft had nrrived and had it
not been for n fleet of minesweepers
which arrived about 8 o'clock prepared
to do their share of the duty of patroliug
the course there would havo been little
to indicate that anything more thnn the
oidinary tuning up spins lay ahead.
Sandy Hoolt Gloomy
Sandy" Hook, at best, Is n gloomy,
wind-swept domain, with its deso
late dunes and its forests of scrub pine
nnd tnmarack. So this morning ns a
background for the two cup racers it
contributed the proper note of grlmncss
tj an event which Is by no ineuns an
ordinary regatta between two pleasure
vachts. but a struggle involving the
nautical prestige of two greut maritime
nations.
Hoth jnchts were under mainsails and
hcadsatls by 0:.10 o'clock und shortly
after that hour Mr. Burton, the bklpper
of snamrocK. signnieu we liovcrnor
Smith to stnnd ready to tow. In a jiffy
a line was aboard and the big sloop was
hauled out to sea. Outside Sandy
Hook bar Shamrock cast off her tow
line and proceeded under her own power,
the idea being to stretch pails and to
put the crews through their paces just
as a football eleven goes through sig
nal p"iclice before the start of a game.
As the green sloop heeled slowly to
tho breeze nnd then darted away on
the port tack like a gull, a flying boat
with a rising metallic drone of motors
swooned out of the mist from the north.
ward nnd then altering her course about
000 feet above the topmast of the green
raeet went out to sea. She suggested
some ominous bird of prey as Bhe dipped
and soared high above the ocean. Sim
was the precursor of u fleet of aircraft
which eventually appeared high over
the cup course. The ruling of the
now was that no seaplane in tho course
of the race should fly lower than 1000
feet, this precaution helng taken for
fear that the backwind of the powerful
machines might prove sadly detrimental
to the racing craft below.
Airplanes Spectacular
They contributed a new feature to
America's Cup rucing, these flying craft,
and a highly spectacular one, As the
time of the start drew near eight or
ten of them were counted In the air ;
some of them were navy planes ami
others were operated In the Interests of
news agencies or newspapers. To the
last degree they added to the impies
slvehfgs of the spectacle.

with passengers, nlne-tentlm of whom
nrnbnblr were nimble to tell n sloon from

absorbing event of this day.
Of other sizable craft there was
Crlzaba. a coastwise steamship and, of
course, the Highlander, bearing the fa
wired members of the New York Yacht
Club. Picture the scene wdieu the re
gattn committee's staunch nnd fast tug
came to station nlnngsldc the old yellow
Ambrose channel light vessel which for
so tuaiij cnrs hns kept the only watch
ami ward over the outwnrd portals to

We sec no longer an ocean, lonely
nnd inscrutable; on the contrary It Is

It is as though tli rough some miracle a
maritime city, some new risen Atlantic
lmd reared Itself above the waves.
Thcro Is the sound of jazz music from

murmurs that come from the vast lungs
of the deep: there are tootings of whis
tles, some hoarse, gruff, others Hlmost
silly In their shrill tremolo.
A power jnrht cuts across the bows
of n hcavll) -moving tug, which gives
forth sharp outbursts of angry whistling,
while the curious throaty yelps of de
stroyers hastening to Intercept some
craft who has got herself into waters
where she is distinctly to stop, add to
the confusion.
Milk Bottle, Of Course
There comes n flash from the High
lander. Is it a heliograph signal? No,
Indeed, it is some one casting a bottle
overboard. Is It a milk bottle? Why,
of course It is. What other sort of a
bottle could it be? There is to be noted
a diminution in the size of the fleet.
Wo do not see the tall craft of other
years when government regulations
permitted steamboats to go to sea with
little regard for life-saving accommo
dations. But times are different Now a' craft
must carry so ninny lifeboats and other
life-saving appliances per so many
passengers that few of the excursion
fleet found it worth while to go into the
game of bearing spectators to the Hook
for these cup race events. As a con
sequence the three-deckers were few nnd
far between today. It was ns though
the breed of American craft had sud
denly lost stature without decreasing in
numbers. For, so far as numbers were
concerned, there were apparently ns
many hulls afloat off Sandy Hook to
day as there ever were In previous cup
scries. But, ns Indicated, they were
mainly tugboats and steam and power
yachts and auxiliaries. Then there were
the seaplanes darting overhead, appear
ing nnd disappearing in the haze.
Lipton's Yacht Crowded
And, finally, dominating the scene,
the graceful cup racers, their sails fit
ting as neatly as drumheads, glistening
In the sun nnd dipping like seagulls as
they swung In and out of stays, darted
with tho wind beam, or with lightened
sheets heeling to the breeze. Sir Thomas

nt a respectful distance. She was laden
with micsts. Had every one who hud
constituted himself or herself a guest
Wn nhle to Ket aboard, well, not a
quarter of them would have been able
to get uuoaru.
For every person who had ever shaken
he hand of Sir Thomas Lipton or had
a word or a smile from tne gcmai
baronet has in the last week felt priv
ileged to suggest that an invitation was
duo to see the races from the vantage
point of the Victoria. As a conse

smooth as a mill pond. The yachts ap
parently were making poor time.
Vivid lightning flashed in the sky and
the torrential rain drove passengers
from the decks of excursion boats to tho
cabins below. At 1 o'clock rain was
falling with the Intensity of a cloud
burst and visibility at sea was limited
to a few- cuble lengths, thus making it
dangerous for the racers should they
bn close together. With the last down
fall came a heavy squall of wind from
tho west, which caused the yachts tu
stagger in tho sudden blow.
At 1 :05 p. m. with both yachts
standing off Bhore on a starboard tack,
Resolute was more than half a mile In
the lead and slightly to windwnrd. The
wind breezed up again to six knots at

The wind had hauled to the west

Yankee Crew Skilled
After havine broken out their baby
jib topsails, both skippers in a bunt for
a better breeze took them in again and
broke out larger topsails in their place.
The yachts stood along at an even keel
nnd there was hardly any quartering
wave as they moved along the Jersey
coust.
It turned out to be a typical cup race
day after nil. with a flat sea and dead
nir. In the handling of tho head sails,
Rcsolnte's crew showed to advantage
over the sailors of the challenger.
The Resolute did not take In her
hnby jib until about thirty seconds after
tho Shamrock bad done so, but the
American skipper was able to break out
his larger jib topsail nearly a minute
before the British crew could get thelr's
up.
Behind tho yachts on both 6ldes of

The course of tho race was southwest

Tho wind, which early had a velocity

threat of rain. Off shore the haze was

macy of the sea, cast his eye to weather
and remarked :
"If the wind will hold its present
strength, I'll nsk nothing better for my
Irish challenger. The Shamrock IV is
a fine boat, and I hope to win."
A gentle rain fell in the night, and
with clearing weather an even whole
sail breeze sprang up from the south
west that held true through the morn
ing hours. Wcnther sharps said the
breeze would haul more into the west
by noon, which would give the sloops n
fifte'een bent to windward down the
Jersey const and a run home.
There was n gentle swell to the sea,
and- the red-hujlcd Ambrose Channel
Light vessel, where the yachts were to
make the stnrt, swung lazily ou her
anchor chains. Not a crested wave was
to bo seen.
Crows Astir Early
Captain Burton had his crew up
with the sun, and before 0 o'clock
snilors rowed from the tender Killnrney
to the challenger to remove sail covers
and send hcadsails up with stops.
"My opinion ig that the first hour of
today's race will tell the story of th
America's cup contest," baid the Sham
rock's skipper "Wo will then know
what each sloop can do."
Skipper Adams nlso had Rcsolutc's
crew early astir and ready to make
sail.
Covers were removed from the de
fender's mainsail nnd hcadsails slowly
edged their way up tho stays.
"We should have no complaint to
make of this weather," said Captain
Adams, "and I bfcliove Resolute will
give a good account of herself."
"Sir Thomas's ship should make It
Interesting." added the American skln-
per, ns he surveyed the green -bodied
Shamrock from whose towering topmast
fluttered Sir Thomas's flag.
Tho day broke hot nnd humid. The
sun, a great copper disc in the sky,
burned nwav tho hazo that bung like
a blanket offshore nnd poured Its warm
rays down upon the spectators who
occupied vantage points on the high

carries lu allowing Resolute a time
allowanco of seven minutes nnd one
second In a thirty-mile race.
This smaller topsail Is expected to
reduce Resolute's timo nllowance to six
minutes and forty-six seconds. Sham
rock must not only beat the American
defender boat for boat, but accumulate
such a time advantage over a thirty
mile courso as to nullify the big allow
ance given Bcsoluto because of her
smaller sail and spar measurements.
1 Off For Starting Point
Shnmrock was the first to get up her
mainsail. It was a fine piece of cloth
and seemed visibly larger than Reso
lute's mainsail, which was hoisted
shortly after.
The defender kited ncr largest cmo
topsail, while the Irish sloop also sent
up a club topsail of large area. The
twojraccrs swunn unwillingly at their
mooring buoys awaiting a tow to the
starting line.
Resolute, disdaining a tow. broke out
her hcadsails at 10 :22 o'clock, cast off
from her mooring buoy and headed
nway toward tho Sandy hook spit,
whero she made a turn and headed
away to tho eastward for the starting
line. .
Shamrock followed her within less
fhnn n mlnitlit Virnnklni- nut her llCUd-
salls and standing away toward the
starting line, a half mile or more usicru
of tho American sloop.
xno race committee ooat, me occun
tutr Barrineton. came un to the Am
brose lightship and took her position
at the starting line at 10:45 o'clock.
Sho was soon followed by a Una of
excursion crnft, crowded with passen
gers, who lined tne rails irora stem
to stern, watching the two racing Bloops
as they slid easily through the water
seaward in the light airs.
Tho ocean was as smootn as a mm
pond. Hero and there large soft spots
xi-ni-A nVisprvpfl . evidence of the fitful
brcezo that sometimes blew eight knots
in strength nnd then fell nway to an
Irishman's hurriennce, which Is up nnd
down tho mainmast.
Hunting for vagrant winds was an-
Sarcntly not to the liking of Captain
iurton, for on the way to the light
ship ho took a tow, while Resolute
moved on under her own sail.
Resolute slipped easily through tho
water under the command of Skipper
Adams, n descendant nnd namesake of
a former ambassador to Great Britain
and himself now treasurer of Harvard
University.
Tho excursion fleet clustered around
the starting line like minnows around
a bread crumb and set up a smdke screen
that would have been the envy of any
convoy service. The haze was bo thick
that spectators ou shore could not sec
the lightships and tho sloops were lo-t
to view within three miles of the btnrt
ing line.
