'Thus tho Bolshevlkl have gained a
foothold on the west bank of the Bug

tbelr further progress will be very
nlow, as nermnnent forts erected cars

If the Soviet legions are to gain ground
there.
Invaders Are Prheti Bach
Northwest of Brest -I.itovsk, nlong
the Bug river, the Poles have launched
rigorous counter-attneks nnd have suc
ceeded in driving back ticrosH the i Iver
Bolshevik detachments which had
reached the left bank of the stream.
Further north along the battle front,
toward tho Hast Prussian froutler, a
great battle is being fought, but no de
tails of tho outcome have been given in
late dispatches. At Myszynieo. about
'five miles from the German boundary,
the Poles are well intrenched aud'np
pear to bo holding their own in spite
of savage assaults ngolnst their po
sitions. In the southern sectors of tho front
fighting of n serious nnture is going on.

that M. Kameneff. one of the chiefs of
'the Soviet delegation in this city, sent
to Moscow after a long conference with

It f-eems certain there will not bo
an immediate break In the negotiations

night Issued n statement controverting
the communication of M. Kameneff to
Premier Lloyd George! as far as It con
cerns allegations against the Poles. The
statement purports to prove by ex
planation that the delay In tho armi
stice negotiations was not due to the
Poles, but to the Hussions.
It also charges untruths against the
Soviet government with reference to
the powers of the delegates and con
cerning other matters.
The Polish crisis Is still grave, but
as a result of estcrday's developments,
it is regarded ns being easier. There
has been no rupture in the negotiations
with the Husslnn delegation. Much, It
Is now held, will depend on the attitude
of Prance.
According to tho I.vening Standard,
the best information Is that Great
Britain is rendv to accept the Soviet
replv, received Thursday, to the Brit
ish noli of Tuesday on Poland.
It is believed that If Franco Is
willing Mr. Lloyd George will agree to
peace being Decollated direct by Po
land and Russia. It is generally
granted that, in accordance with the
prnetlco of previous wars. Ilussln Is
not cnlled upon to suspend operations
until nn armistice Is signed. Tho Polish
delegates to tho Bolshevist conference
were expected to arrive in Minsk today
and begin iiegotfatloiis.
After a cabinet council, held to con
sider the answer of the Soviet gov
ernment to tho British representations,
sent through M. Knmenov, of tho Rus
sian delegation, and which was regarded
on the whole as conciliatory. Si. Lloyd
Geoige and Andrew Bonar Law, Lord
Privy Seal, were In conference with M.
Knmenrv nnd M. Krassln, another
Soviet representative, for more than
fhe hours at the premier's official resi
dence in Downing street.
The entire situation was exhaustively
reviewed and the government's view
communicited to the Russians. Kspeclal
emphasis was laid on the necessity for
stemming the advance of tho Red army
Into Poland proper.
Field Marshal Attended Conference
Field Marshal Wilson was early sum
moned to the joint conference, which
lnsted from .'1 :13 in the afternoon until
after ft o'clock at nigh'., and the fact
that he, with Mr. Bonar Law, re
mained until the end Is taken as indi
cation that military questions were
fully discussed Premier Llojd George
had Intended to leave town yesterday
for a week-end in the country, but
when his car arrived ho ordered It sent
away.
According to a semiofficial state
ment. Leo Kamenev, president of tho
Moscow Soviet, who is hero with tho
Russian Soviet delegation, hns under
taken to acquaint Moscow with the
British views and get a reply by Sun
day, when It can be considered by the
allied conference and decisions token
which will be communicated to tho
Commons Monday, as already has been
promised by Mr. Lloyd George.
The semiofficial statement says the
terms of the communication sent to
Moscow cannot be published before Its
receipt by the Soviet government, but
states that all evidence points in the
direction of a sincere and patient at
tempt to find n satisfactory solution of
on admittedly difficult problem. Belief
is expressed by the statement that n
message to Moscow was drawn up by
Mr. Lloyd George and agreed (o by the
Russian delegates.
It Is semiofficially denied that the
British government ever threatened to
reimpose the Russian blockade in 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 tho disposal of the
Allies.
Zurich, Aug, 7. (By A. P.) A
Polish official communication received
here yesterday says: ,
"In the region of Myszlnlcc tho
Polish troops arc resisting In strong
positions. In tho region of Czcrwlu
ostrow the Poles are fighting the enemy
troops which crossed to the left bank
of the Bug river. Between Drohcczyn
nnd Brczc a counter-attack, started
yesterday, threw the enemy back on
tho north bank of the Bug. Bntmy
attacks in tho region of Brczc 'forced
the Poles to abandon Morzwlc and
Terespol.
"Brody has been completely plun
dered. On tho river Scrcth an enemy
attack was repulsed."
POLES SEND PEACE
TERMS TO MOSCOW
Warsaw, Aug. 7. (By A. P.)
Bssentluls of tho terms of pence Poland
would agree to were set forth In the
note sent by wireless to Moscow Thurs
day night accepting the Soviet pro
posal to srnd delegates to Minsk to ne
gotiate simultaneously an armistice and
peace.
The note declared Poland was com
pelled, however, to demand formal
guarantees thnt the Polish delegates
would be permitted free and direct com
munication with the Polish Government
by wireless and couriers. The govern
ment also said that because the Soviet
had previously refused to negotiate nn
nrmistice, hostilities should now cease
on both sides from the moment of the
beginning of the negotiations at Minsk.
The roles, continued the note, were
ready to conclude peace on the principle
of national rights, and would try for
such a solution of all questions as would
guarantee future peace and friendly re
lotions between Russia and her neigh
bors. The note stilted Poland could not nc
cipt any terms that would be an at
tack on her sovereign rights or Inter
fere with her internal affairs, and she
asked an nnswer that would be the
basis for future peace terms.
The note added that the fact that the
first nrmistice negotiations were broken
off because tho Polish delegates were
empowered to negotiate only nn armi
stice nnd not peace, compelled the
government to conclude that the Soviet
would make an effort to continue mili
tary operations, nnd that, therefore,
the Russians must take nil respond
bllity for the continuance of hostilities.
The Polish Government was making
every effort to win the war, the note
asserted.

(By A. P.) A report that the Polish
Government has fled to Posen and that

the advancing Soviet forces
the Polish troops Into the Tolish cor
ridor. Tho .Tohannlsberg Zeltung has been
receiving private reports from the
Rtso-Polish fronts, which later events
proved to be correct.
According to its correspondent in
Warsaw, the Polish workers havo is
sued a proclamation urging the work
ers to nccopt Soviet principles. The
dispatch says nothing has been heard
about an armistice.
Scant sympathy is given Polish
refugees who have fled across the Ger
man frontier before the advancing Bol
Bhevikl. They nre greeted with more
or less contempt by the inhabitants of
East Prussia ns they plod along the
roads to the interior, apparently fear
ing the Bolshcvlkl are closo behind
them.
Most of tho refugees arc poor women
nnd rncired children, nnd while the cor
respondent was watching a party of
tnom today, a ucnuau saw to uic cor
resnnndent :
"You know they nre Poles. We do
not want them; nobodv wauts them."
On the other hand, Ruslann reach
ing hero- apparently need no sympathy,
they being usually well dressed and
educated. Most of them arc sjmpa
thlzers of tho Imperial regime who hove
managed to escape. Alleged atiocitles
by the Bolshevik are charged by agi
tated crowds in the hotels here.
Deserters from the Bolshevist army
reaching here assert that the plans of
the Russian general staff are to delay
an armistice with Poland while tho
boundaries of Russia nre le-cstob-lished
as they existed in 1014. The
intelligence service of tbe German
frontier police, which is understood to
be in reliable communication with Bol
shevist Russia, substantiates these re
ports, sajing the plans nre well known
to the Russian people, who havo been
told that when they arc fulfilled "ail

especially pronounced, according to n'l
special dispatcn to tnc iieutscne sett

Men of tho Bolshevik nrmy, it snyn,

Tho dispatch asserts there is no ani
mosity shown toward tho Germans on
the part of the Russlnns nnd that tho
latter reltcrato they do not propose to
violate German territory.
Regarding tho Soviet government's
Intentions with respect to Poland, the
Koenigsberg messago credits Red army
officers who walk across tho customs
barrier at Prosken wjth declaring that
Moscow is determined to incorporate
Poland in the Russian empire nnd re
store to Germany territory taken from
her through the penco treaty.
Paris, Aug. 7. (By A. P.) Doc
tor Geoppert, head of tlie German pence
commission, delivered to the French
foreign office yesterday a noto rela
tive to tho organization of a special
German military force in East Prus
sia. Tho Berlin Government, accord
ing to today's newspapers, nnnounced
that armed groups will bo farmed in

Tho note presented by Doctor Geop
pert further recnlls the request recent

for permission to send German Gov

According to official advices to the

120,000 troops to the Moslems for the
promotion, In conjunction with the Na
tionalists of Egypt, Turkey, Arabia,
Mesopotamia and Persia, of a united
military effort against British and

tinue its advance in tho direction of
Mossoul. an important city near, East

of Turkish and Egyptian Nationalists
arc reported t& have planned to con

With this thrust against Jhe left flank
of the British defense lino of Asia, the
present ndvanco on Teheran is looked
upon by military authorities as a move
ment directed at tho same time against
the British right flank resting upon the
edge of tho Persian salt desert.
The advance Into Persia Is expected
to follow southeasterly from Teherau to
Meshed nnd thence toward Herat In
Afghanistan with the ultimate objec
tive of reaching ibo terminus of it rail

EXPENSE. Rents are reasonable at "Old Hickory." Nearly all the necessities of life can be purchased in the busi
ness center of e village. The design and construction of the houses, the very life and atmosphere of the village are
conducive to PERMANENT labor, and satisfy the demands of the highest class of American skilled workmen.
An ample supply ot common labor is available in this territory.
No manufacturer can be too big for "Old Hickory." yet this plant is so clastic that its individual units, or the
plant in its entirety, can be modified and made profitable for MANY VARIED INDUSTRIES, having no con
