THE OFrGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8. 1820. J i - RED MENACE TO ALLIES GROWING AVERS POINCARE ' Present Crisis Held Not Oppor tune Time to Hurl Criticism at the Polish Leaders in Warsaw. 3 ' By Raymond Polnoare Farmer IrMitnt of France. . j ( Written tot the Heme I Veux Monde); (Erhiie Antrirn Kwhta by Umtml Ires) Copy rtlit, 1:920. Ileproducuon Frohibitcd) Paris, July 30. (Delayed.) "We have no other ambition," declared the soviet jerovernment In Its pronouncement- to the world, "than to entablish fraternal understandings between the laboring masses of the . twd countries whose armies. are fac ing each other at this moment on the field of battle." ! .Premier Millerand treated this re sponse as1 insolent. -Lloyd George merely viewed it as Incoherent. i LOGIC IJT KEP KK8PONSE There was, however, a very powerful , bit of loplc to this response, and. the rapidity with which Moscow carried out the request .of Poland for an - armistice, and the Instantaneous obedience of Hed armies to the order calling; for cessation of hostilities wholly proves how the Bol shevik government is pursuing its aims. The Bolshevik government now is in a position with.the- general graces of a be nign prince, - to offer to take up once more the economic n grot latl with a ; smile at thse who scorned them. And at the same time Poland is gently conducted to the crossroads where she must choose her future course. Will she be led by tricks,- or will she be forced by the tyranny of the new Muscovite power, a power more imperial than that of the old regime?: Or will she, on the other hand, remain' dependent upon the entente, whose victory alone was re sponsible for her Insurrection? MITCH BEPE8PS OX PEAC-S The entire structure, of European peace depends upon the re-establishment : of order throughout Europe. Let the Tiol sniviki arrive upon the German frontiers,, either by contagion -or by infection, rather than -through crushing Poland, and the consequences will be less unfa vorable. - lit the con""-n of internal difficulty with hich Germany is now struggling the new republic can hardly 'take care; of "-e 6ver-at undant causes for agitation and disturbances in her own back yard. ! Whether Bolshevism devel ops in Germany through contagion or , whether Imperialism takes its place through the exploitation of fear, at any rate we see the Deutsche s Zeitung and other nationalist newspapers busy divid ing Poland: between Germany and Rus sia. . - ! - : In this situation the allies, and par ticularly Prance, are seriously threat ened. Let us not, for the last time, con sole ourselves with believing that Provi dence which looks over the allies is going to take upon itself the duty of arranging affairs in Eastern Europe to ,ur benefits unless we on our side make some little ffort to help the work. ' I realize well that at London, and even In I'aris, a few persona are reproaching the government of Pilsudski for having allowed itself to be led astray by the mirage of Vllna and Kieff, and for hav ing dreamed of a too grandiose Poland,, now Just emerging from her tomb, a Millerand rightly replied that this was not the moment to hurl criticism at our friends in I Warsaw. While their mili tary expedition was perhaps -hot wholly undertaken! with the best excuses in the world, at least ; Warsaw "knew .that; the Ii?d arrnyj was massed on her frontier, and felt herself at the mecy of aggres sion shortly to come- ALLIES BLCSDEBED, TQO V And whatever' their mistakes and faults, that cannot wipe out our own blunders of long standing. And our faults are the more serious. In the spring of 1919. during the Paris conference. Lloyd George obstinately rejected the unanimous reports of the experts on the Dantzig question, and as the Times so justly remarked, he thus disarmed Paderewski in the courageous struggle which the Polish council was then undertaking against Bolshevism. Since that time, and especially recent ly at Spa. the British prime minister has -adopted a tone toward Poland which VISITOR IS LEGION COMMANDER ' - v ' - i - ' - W F'f ft I '.'""-"'-, '" ',, - - t tf S ' " i ' ' ' - In , v'' ' ' 4 ? - fS ?.h ytJ - -.,:- m .

Krapsin, one of the Russian representatives -in London. to day telegraphed the Moscow government the results of last night's i conference with Premier Lloyd George, at which the latter Insisted the Reds show their good intentions by stopping the advance. Otherwise, the premier said, the allies would continue to aid .Poland with muni tions. Lloyd George urged that the de tails cf: any permanent peace pact to be made with Poland be discussed at the proposed London conference and Krassin tentatively agreed; FEELING IS EASIER . i A mutual tendency to compromise was displayed. ri I Advices from' the front" today were meager; The Warsaw general staff ad mitted the Poles had been forced back again In the Brzesc region, where they abandoned Myczhenec and Terespol, in the Lemberg area.

A wireless message from Moscow, picked up here, said the Russians had. reached the line of the Strypa river, before Lemberg. occupying Myczyhenec and Terespol. The Poles were defeated in an engagement northeast of Brody. Fierce fighting on the (right bank of the river Bug, before Warsaw, was reported by the Russians. j These statements indicated that the Poles were, holding thq line before War saw and that they were putting up a good defense of Lemberg. There was not much activity on either front, these statements indicated, as compared with the fightfng earlier im the week when the Ked offensive was at its height.: j EOCH MAT COSFEE Marshal Foch probaily will be present at the Hythe conference of Lloyd George and Millerand on Sunday. Foch is an advocate of using force against the Bolsheviki. Thel French are ex pected to urge that the allies get to gether on' a definite program for aiding Poland with munitions and by, limited naval operations. Lloyd George is ex pected to say he favors a '"hands off policy provided the Bolshevist attitude continued conciliatory. Laborites in England are bitterly opposing the ' sug gestion that Britain participate in a war to help Poland, and any cabinet decision to vfrtually wage such a war has been held back from parliament, until after the Hythe conference. r Italy desires peace; with Russia, ex change of diplomatic reports and re sumption of trade and will not Join in or give its consent to any allied plans for renewing; the blockade. ; BRIBERY PLOT BC3IOBED There were reports! tonight that the Bolsheviki were trying to buy off the British and also the Americans, by of fering business firms of those nations important oil, mining; and lumber con cessions in Russia provided "commercial relations are resumed. Little credence was placed here :in reports that the Redsj were launching a major offensive against General Wran gel, the anti-Bolshevist leader' in the Crimea. The Moscow wireless claimed such a drive had been started, and that Alexanderof f had been taken. In this connection, much Importance was at tached to a report that Russia had pro posed peace to Roumania and had sug gested that the negotiations be held at Kharkov. Roumania is anxious ito at tack the Bolshevjki, I and the . Russians apparently are equally anxious to keep them' from so doing.- Whippet tanks are actively engaged along a front width of the battlefront.: Warsaw has more the appearance of a military bead than a capital. Streams of tanks, transports, timbers, cavalry, artillery ' and " Infantry : are passing through the city. " I The stock exchange has closed In panic and is quoted at 4.00 to an Amer ican dollar, ; . GERMANY AND RUSSIA JOIN 1 TO BREAK TREATY, BELIEF i London, Aug. 7. U. P.r-respite de nials officials profess to be convinced that: Moscow j and Berlin have entered Into an agreement to break the-Versailles treaty. If the people of Britain and France were convinced of the 'truth of this they might be aroused to a war fever, but not otherwise, it was apparent today. : - i The text of the latest Russian note to Britain has been made public here. Kemenoff, the soviet; representative, in formed Lloyd George he had .communi cated to Moscow the Britain decision "to, side with Poland in -thie new war and renew the blockade-") i ? - '..

"'-. ; ! ' i Russia will halt, he said,, when the Poles give reasonable guarantees that they will partially disarm and cease recruiting.- He pledged Russia to respect Poland's" Independence. - It was made plain that the Bolsheviki want to sign peace "with Poland on the field of bat tle, and then submit the pact for ratifi cation 'at the London general peace con ference where they can come In as vic tors, demanding world-wide recognition and trade advantages. , . j Reports that the Russians had started an army to invade Persia and that they were threatening British possessions in the Cast were received with reserver BERLIN REPORTS REDS ARE 1 ,10 MILES; FROM WARSAW Berlin, Aug. 7. (XT. P.) The Poles have fallen back at one point to within 10 miles of Warsaw, the Berliner Tage- blatt declared today. n Dispatches to this newspaper said I the Poles were again In retreat and that they had retired as far as Modlinj strong fortress 10 I miles northwest of Warsaw, at the confluence of the Vis tula and Bug rivers. The Tageblatt inferred this meant Warsaw would be abandoned. PONZI TO REOPEN ; OFFICES MONDAY Federal Officials Still - Continue Investigation of Puzzling Mari- ner in Which Business is Run.

Poland's armies are falling i back on the entire front between the river Bug and the last Prussian frontier, according to a War saw dispatch to the Evening News late today. Bolshevik i patrols numbering 2500 sabres, are within 30 miles of War saw, attempting to force the Vistula river (on which the capital stands) and sever Warsaw's communication with Cracow and Posen. j This would indicate the Poles are re treating on a fiOO mile front and that the Reds are attempting to cut In north and south of the city to prevent ship ment of more supplies from the allies and cut off the Polish government min isters from -fleeing to Cracow, where it has been reported they Intended to establish a temporary capital.
