Warsaw Aug. 18th.—Warsaw now seems o be saved from the Bolsheviki, Marshai Piisudski’s armies no longer are obliged to fight a defensive battle, and the boid offensive on both wings has reached ilie first objeciives and the Poles appear to be pausine before at- SP GCGRUI X 4 Y. > tempting to develop their successes. The offensive. on the left wing. is being per- sonally led by Generals Henry and Billotte, and already has yielded import- ant results. It has once more put the Poles in possession of the key to the Warsaw defenses, the fork between the Narew and Bug rivers, while the forces advancing toward Mlawa, which have reached the Chenoff, 12 miles. to the south of Mlawa, will. force the Bolshe- viki marehing on Plock and Thorn to beat a hasty retreat, and consequentl- re-open the directrfailroad line to Danzig. But the manoeuvre on the right wing along the line of Garvolin an = Paratchoft, between the Vistula and the Bug, is the more interesting of the two from the strategic viewpoint, because it threatens the communications of the main - Belshe vik forces. Swelled- by trecops freed by shortening the ‘fromt in the Brody re- gion, the movement already has gain- ed rapid headway, and driven the Bolsheviki back all along the line toward Brest- Litovsk for distances varying from 25 to 50 miles. ' 4 London, Aug. 18th.—The headquart- ers of the League of Nations announced today that four -importan‘ amendments to the covenant have been signed by Denmark, Norway and Sweden for con- sideration at the firsi meeting of the League Assembly on November 15th. The tour proposed amendments were an- nounced as foliowsy- 1. * Providing for a fixed annual meetingof the Assem- bly,- and proposing that ten mem- bers of the League can demand and secure 4 special meeting at any time at the Seat Bof. the League. 2. Seeking to regularize the miethod of selecting the tour non-permanent mem- bers of the Council. It is prop sed to accomplish this by' -providing that the Assembly, after making the first selec- tions of four to serve, respectively three, four five and six years shal! name a new state yearly after the third year tc serve four fyears, and not be subject to re- election for the foliowing period. It is suggested that this method would secure successive representation on the Council of a large number of States, and would maintain continuity in the composition of the Council. 3. Making th- obligation for arbitration more absolute by omitting the word ‘‘Géneral’’ from Article [II in the paragraph beginning '‘Dissuted”’ and ending '‘Submission to Arbifration’’. 4. Permitting the Council to authorize a state in the vicinity of a state against which an economic blockade is in force to maintain 4 degree of intercourse with the latier, provided the Council considers tiis necessary in order (o prevent the blockade state irom attacking its neigi- bour. Warsaw, Aug. 18th. —~Russian Soviet forces are evacuating Brest-ii oysk, the strongiy foriiled town on the Bug River, 20 miles east of Warsaw, according to advices received here tonight. Paris, Aug. 19th.—Lukow,. a Polish city, about 41 miles southeast of War- saw and 12 miles south of Siedlce, has ‘been ecaptured by the Poles in their counter-attack igainst the left wing of the Bolshevik army before the Polish capital, says the Warsaw correspondent of the newspaper '‘Excelsior.”” The de- spateh which was sent on Tuesday night. declares the Boishevik right wing also is'in a bad situation. ' London, Aug. 19th.—The Lord Mayor of Cork arrived here yesterday -under heavy wmilitary escort, having been de- ported from Ireland under a Court Mar- tial sentence. He has beer lodged 1n prison. ~London, Aug. 19th. —lrishmen of mod- erate views concerning the problem of ‘Dominion Home Rule will gather at Dub lin from all parts of Ireland next Tues- day for. a conference. This meeting, says a Dublin despateh to the "‘Daily Mail’”’ has been endowed with a consi derable importance by the change of pol- icy in Downing Street. Although the Premier’s statement in thef} House o Commons last Monday puzzled Irish Politicians it ils wrong to take a pessi- mistic view of the situation, as the way to peace is by no means closed.
