"SITUATION EXTREMELY GRAVE”

BOLSHEVIK DETERMINATION TO CAPTURE WARSAW,

FROPOSED TRUCE REFUSED,

Lordy, August &. The situation is extremely grave and the Hythe Conference has no doubt that the Bolsheviks mean to capture Warsaw and the establish Soviet government. The news is confirmed that Mr. Lloyd George presented a memorandum to M. Kamereff on Friday regarding the terms of the pro- posed truce with the object of enabling the terms of peace between Russia and Poland to be discussed. It was proposed that truce should be declared for ten days from mid-night August 9 and 10 and that orders should be issued from Moscow and Warsaw that the Polish and Russian armies should halt on the line on which they stand and cease fighting.

ALLIES' GUARANTEE.

The memorandum guarantees that during the period between the cessation of hostilities and the signature of peace the Allies will take no steps to send troops to Poland or supply the Polish arms with war material It was also agreed that the Soviet should be allowed to send representatives behind the Polish-lives in order to satisfy themselves that no reinforcements or war material were being supplied to Poland. The memorandam further stipulated that on the cessation of hostilities the Russian and Polish armis. tice delegates should meet to define the line of demarcation between the Soviet and Polish armies until the conclusion of peace and to draw up con- ditions of the armistice as a preliminary to peace negotiations

LONDON, August 8. Indications are growing that Germany is seeking to intensify Poland's difficulties. Following on Herr Simons' speech a notable manifesto signed by all classes of German socialists has been issued. Referring to the grow ing rumours of Allied troops concentrating on the Rhine it calls on German workers to use every means to prevent the passage of troops and war material across Germany to Poland.

A message from Warsaw says that speculation is rife regarding the real object of the note' and the alleged incidents in view of the fact that order has been remarkably well maintained in the area complained of. It is suggested that the Germansengers, created a record by going up
