POLES CHECK THE GREAT
DRIVE OF THE RED ARMY
Fate of Warsaw Will Depend on
Ability of Defending Forces to
Keep Up Their Tactics.
Paris. Warsaw is holding out well,
according to the latest news. The
Poles, who were beginning to repeat
their old despairing cry of 1831, "God
is too high and France too far," forti
fied by the council of French expert
soldiers, have plucked up spirits with
Immediate effect.
While it is too soon to forecast the
favorable issue of the great battle
raging near Warsaw, the Poles appear
to retain the initiative they took Sat
urday and continue to hold the bol
shoviki in check. In the southeast,
on the western Bug, thoy have scored
notable successes. Nevertheless the
situation with Warsaw threatened
from three sides undoubtedly remains
sorious and everything depondB on
the ability of the Poles to keep up
their tactics.
It is considered significant in mili
tary circles that tho Moscow wireless
has been unusually silent.
Efforts of the Poles to push back
the bolshevik have resulted in the
capture of important stragetic posi
tions. Three days ago the Poles
faced an extremely critical situation
with the red center virtually reaching
the outer forts of the capital. On the
right the soviet had captured the Pul-tusk-Serock
bridgehead, driving tho
Poles from the fork of the Narow and
the Bug.
Sunday, however, the Poles
launched a counter offensive from
Novo Georgievaak, clearing the north
bank of tho Narow, and they have
recaptured the Serock bridgehead.
Operations are proceeding agaiustuhe
Pultusk forts.
The bolshevik abandoned consider
able booty.

FOUGHT ON RIVER BUG
Key Defen8ts of Warsaw Are Now
Better Protected Attacks on
Outer Forts Repulsed.
Warsaw. Uninterrupted flghtincc U
going on In the valley of the Bug
from Its Bource to its confluence with
the Narew river. Tho groat battlo
which has Just begun along the river
has been marked by appreciable ad
vantages for the PoleH. Thoy havo
Inflicted heavy losses on tho enemy
and retaken Important positions.
In Gallcia the Poles, without pres
sure from the bolshevik!, have with
drawn to the Bug.
Forces defending Warsaw are now
grouped as follows:
Tfto left wing, resting on tho forts
of Modlin (Novo Georgivak), holds the
line of the lower Narew and Bug; the
center, protected behind by the outer
forts of Warsaw, occupies positions
from eighteen to thirty miles from tho
capital; the right win g commands
the valley of thtr upper Bug. Both on
tho right and left wing it is the Poles
who have taken the initiative
Bolshevik forces which had crossed
the Bug between Hrubleszow and
Wlodawa have been thrown hack. On
the left wing the Poles, starting froir
Modlin, made a successful attack
toward Mlawa. Thanks to' this op
oration, tho positions the Poles oc
cupy in the work of the Narew and
Bug, which constitute the key de
fonsos of Warsaw, are better protect
ed from a flank attack.
In the centor, on the lower Bug, all
attacks delivered by the enemy to
enable him to approach tho Warsaw'
forts wore repelled with heavy losses.
Red oavalry continues to operate
along tho old Polish Prussian frontier
without opposition from tho Poles.
This operation is not connected with
tho battle along the Bug and cannot
in any way influence the issue there,
even should the bolsheviki throw in
stronger forces. It is considered that
the Polish troops occupying Thorn
and Graudenz and distributed along
the Vistula are ample to protect the
Danzig communications from any
danger.
