Paris, Aug 16th—A German aerial ser- vice has been organized, according to ad- vices to the French Foreign Office, to sup- ply the Russian Soviet Staffs with all mil- itary information concerring Polish stra- tegic movements that G¢ rman vilots can pereceive in their flight from East Prussia over Polish territory. The Foreign Office said yesterday that the entire arrange- ment was outlined in a document which fell into the hands of the Polish authori- ties. The Russian forces are also being supplied with enormous amounts of mu- nitions and food across the East Prussian frontier, according to reports to the For- eign Office from the French military mis- sion in Warsaw.

A desperate struggle continues in this sector.”’ = - : London, Aug. 16thi —Workmen in up- per Si‘esia regard the recognition of Gen- eral Wrangel, the anti-Bolshevik leader in South Russia, as equivalent toa de-: claration of -war. Russia, accordingly will refuse to recognize the French re- presentatives on the Plehiscit Gommis- sion, contending they are not neutral says the Daily Mail’s Attowitz eorrespon- dent. Mr. Lloyd George stated in the Housé of Commons today.that the Govt had made it clear to General;Wrangel, the anti- Belshevik leader in South Rus- sia, that ilf he further attacked the Sovi- et torces, he must.do so on his own re- . sponsibility. o _ » Dublin, Aug, 16th.—The Lord Mayor of Cork, who was arrested last Thursday and other members of the corporation, will be tried on the charge of sedit-on, according to a statement made hece yes- terday. Belief is expressed by the mili- tary, that in Thursday’s raid on the Cork mansion house, they secured the arrest of the leaders of the Republican brotherhood. Antwerp, -Aug. 16th. --King Albert, accompanied by the Queen and the Royal Family, opened the Olympiad on Satur- day. The ceremony was elaborate and the parade of athletes, a magnificent one. A crowd of 10,000 spectators greeted Their Majesties. The establishment of a new world’s record for the javerlin featured the opening. Myrra added 5.14 metres to the record of 60.64 metres. In his heat of the one hundred metres penton, Canada ran second to Abrahams of Eng- laid who won in 10 3-5 seconds. The 800 metres race was won by Rudd of South Af- rica. Hill (England) was second and Etsy (America) third. Thomas Town, the Bran- don man, was beaten in the first heat of the 5,000 metres. Town held the fourth position for a mile but dropped out after two miles. Frank Loomis (Chicago) won the final in the 400 metre hurdles, the first three places all going to the United States competitors. Loomis time, 52 sec- onds is an olympie and world’s record. Berlin, Aug. 16th.—The Commander of the 12th. Russian Sovief Division which Friday night entered Soldau on the Warsaw—-Danzig railway, approxi- mately 1 miles north-west of Milawa solemnly declared to a deputation of the inhabitants that this territory never again would belong to Poland, accord- ing to despatches received here yester- day. The Polish Burgomaster of Soldau’ fled. The Russians appointed a Citizen Committee, from which Poles were ex- cluded. The citizens are jubilant, the despatches say the German flag is again floating over thetown. London; Aug. 16th: —The House of Commons to-night -without a division agreed to the -motion of Mr. Bonar Law adjourning the House until October 19th, but- ampowering the speaker to sum- mon: Parliament earlier, should publie intercets. demand it. JThis and Mr. Bonar lLaw’s undertaking that in the event of Russia’s® armistice terms to Poland being materially altered, the ‘Govt. would take :0-action without con- sulting Panliament, meet the oppositions ‘objections that the country should not be committed to an intervention against Russia - without the consent of Parlia- ‘ment. = Mr. Bonar Law confirmed that the armistice terms to Poland as an- nounced by Russia had the approval of both Great -Britain and Italy, and he said that if they were sincerely ad "hered to, Great Britain would not lin- terfere between Poland and Rus ia.. Paragrapns in the newspape's recently considered by some to be inspired, had led ‘the ‘public to expect a. announce- ment of some new developmertof poli- ey for Ireland from the Premier or Mr. Bonar Law on the lines of Dominion Home Rule,- but this expectation met with disappointment. Mr. Lloyd George confined himself to repeating his pre- vious offer that the Govt. would discuss a settlement with any representatives of Irish opinion, not excluding the Sinn Feiners .provided they accepted thiee stipulations -which he carefully defined. That Northern Ulster six counties must “be treated separaiely. Ibhat = there must be no secession directiy or indi- rectly of any part of Ireland from the United Kingdom and that the Govt. could not agree to anything that would involve any tetraction. from the securi- ty of the Bri\'sh Isles, or of their safe ty in case of war. This guarded state- ment, althcugh announcing no new poli- cy, will probably be interpreted as an invilation to continue outside dis- cussion of the Dominion settlement, which !.ave made much unexpeected pro- gress recently and enlisted support in hitherto antagonistic quarters. \ London, Aug. 16th.- The announce- ment that the Polish and Russian ar- mistice and peace delegates had met at Minsk, was made by Earl Curzon in the Ho se of Lords today. Negotiations were doubtless proceeding, he added. Warsaw, Aug. 16th.—Uninterrupted fighting is going on in the valley of the Bug from its source to its conflu- ence with the Narew River.
