LONDON, August 2, The report that the Polish resistance is stiffening is supported by the latest Polish communique which states that fighting in the regions of Brady and Toporowo is proceeding in favour of the Poles. The Bolshevists suffered heavy losses in the latter region. The Chief-of-Staff of the Bolshevist cavalry was killed. The Poles repulsed all attacks on the Sereth.

The stiffening of their resistance is ascribed to the arrival of the first large batch of volunteers. Bolshevist infantry in the vicinity of Lopeha, supported by Budanny's cavalry in the centre, is-moving towards Warsaw. Although the Russian cavalry has not ssed the East Prussian frontier, recruiting for the Red Army has begun Prospective recruits must have belonged to one of the Socialist parties since
the revolution.
