With Poland's late considered sealed and satisfaction found in the Moscoiw peace terms to Poland, especially in the de- mand for the reduction of the ar- my of 50.000 men, little attention is being paid to military opera- tions.

A despatch from Washington, early this afternoon, stated that diamonds supposed to have been part of the falmous jewels of the Russian Royal family and ad- dressed to “Comrade Mantens." had been intercepted by the. customs officials while en route from Soviet itusslii. to the United States.

‘The diamonds, numbering 131 in all, were seized J-uly 22 by ‘tlic cus- tolns authorities in New York from .-n Swedish s-llllor, Nell Jacobson, who attracted suspicion as he was leaving the Swedish steamer Stock- liolm. The sailor also was suld to liuve had in his possession a pack- age containing a large amount of (‘clnilnlrnist literature including an "alppeal of t-ile executive truinlnlt- tee of the Third international at Moscow to the I.W.W."

The great attack is expected to do veiop within forty-eight hours and possibly within twenty-four hours it will be on a front nearly one hundred miles» long.

Fresh cavalry just brought here from the other Polish sectors is on its way to the front to offset the cavalry of the Bolshevists which has her-n of such enormous service to them in the recent fighting at Polsen. A new Polish army is being formed and it will be swung in-tc action at the mo- menl of greatest need. This how- ever may dome after the fall of Warsaw.
