THE POLI8H ARMY WILL NOT
INVADE RUSSIAN TERRITORY
Promise Will Be Made that Victor
lous Armies Will Not Proceed
Beyond Natural Frontiers.
Washington, D. C. Complete nsBUr
anco will be given tho United States,
it was stated in Polish official circles,
that Poland's victorious armies will
not pursuo their advance beyond tho
natural frontlora of the reconstituted
republic. An early communication
from Warsaw to this offoct was ex
pected by those officials. Represent
atives setting forth tho vlewi of this
government havo been made through
tho logatlou at Warsaw', tho state de
partment announced, the communica
tion roitoratlng the stand taken by
Socrotary Colby in his note to the
Italian ambassador.
Tho position of tho American gov
ernment ob outlined then was that tho
allied and associated powors should
unlto In a declaration favoring tho
preservation of the integrity of Itua
aia, auch a declaration to bo accom
panlod "by the announcement that no
trnnHgressIon by Poland will be per
mitted." Tho Polish reply, officials said,
would sot at rest any suspicions that
Poland was contemplating tho pro
longation of hostilities into an offen
sive war against Russia. Assurances
of tills nature, it was added, -already
had been given tho soviet government
envoys at Minsk.
No formal representatives havo
boen exchanged with tho alllos by tho
Unltod States regarding the 'possible
transition of tho Polish operations
from an offensive to a defensive char
actor. Tho American government is
understood to bo satisfied with tho sit
uation as set forth in its note, and
representations made to tho Polish
government have been only an elab
oration of the principles enunciated
In that document.
Great Britain, however, through
Promier Lloyd George, already has an
nounced her opposition to any trans
gression by Poland of Russian terri
tory. For tho prosent, it is belioved,
tho British government will rest on
tho announcement of tho British posi
tion by Lloyd George in the house of
commons boforo taking up a possible
formal rejoinder to tho American note
to the Italian ambassador.
The first approaches to a Joint allied
policy toward tho respectlvo situations
Is belioved bore to have been made by
Promier Lloyd George In his prosent
conferences with Premier Glollttl, of
Italy, and in the Matter's discussions
with Promier Mlllerand of France. It
is also rogarded by officials here as
significant that the British premier
Is .reported to bo planning to recolvo
this week the German promier, Dr.
Fehrenbach, and Dr. Simons, German
minister of foreign affairs. It is not
believed that tho United Statos will
recolvo any furthor replica to tho
Amorican noto until tho series of con
feronces botweon tho premiers havo
been concluded.
Both Sir Auckland Gcddes, British
ambassador, and Prince Lubomirski,

if tho crulsor attempted to unload Its
