· POLISH VICTORY.

RETREAT OF FOUR RED ARMIES MENACED.

35,000 FRISONERS.

WARSAW, Angust 23, By grouping, the Polish forces two army groups have been formed, one on the northern front under General. Haller and the second in the centre under General Pilsudski. The latter is attemping to cut off the line of retreat of four Red armies, and the tuming movement is being carried on under highly satisfactory conditions. Up to the present 25,000 prisoners and 200 guns have been taken.

FRENCH ANNOYED.

LONDON, August 23. The action of Sir Reginald Tower, the Allied High Commissioner at Danzig, in refusing to allow munitions for Poland to be unloaded in Danzig, on the ground that he had insuficient Allied troops to preserve order if further munitions were unloaded, has caused considerable resentment in French official circles. The French Government has notified the Council of Ambassadors that it regards the action as a violation of the Treaty of Versailles and according to a newspaper report the French Foreign Office is likely to demand Sir Reginald Tower's recall. It appears that Sir Reginald Tower asked the Allies to send 20,000 troops to Danzig without which he would not feel justified in permitting the unloading of munitions, whereas the French are of the opinion" that 5,000 troops would have been ample. Sir R. Tower is now awaiting instructions from London..

LONDON, August 23.

It is officially stated that a great portion of Lisburn was burned down and over 40 hauses destroyed;"

The situation in Belfast is very uneasy.' Lisburn is a Unionist town of 12,000 inhabitants, eight miles from Belfast. It is stated that practically every Roman Catholic-premises was gutted. The fire brigade worked un- crasingly but was powerless.

The four men who murdered District Inspector Swanzy apparently, travelled from Belfast in a taxi which kept within the gutskirts of Lisburn and afterwards returned. Half way they paid off the
