POLAND.

TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES. ARMY TO OPPOSE BOLSHEVIKS. GERMAN DELEGATES LEAVE POSEN. Received March IG, 5.5 p.m. Paris, March 13. The Polish Commission lias furnished a report that it is believed Poland practically regains the frontier existing before the partition in 1772. Dant'/.ig, which is the port of Neufahrwasser, is given to Poland, which is thus assured of a coast line of forty kilometres. The Dantzig—Thorn and '^ant-zig—Mymva railways will be Polish. There will also be the Polish mouth of the lower Vistula.

It is reported that the Council of Ten favors making a strip of territory along the Baltic, between Elbing and Lithuania, a separate and independent State. General Barthelemy, a member of the Allied Mission, reports that the Poles will soon be able to place three-quarters of a million troops in the field to resist Bolshevik aggression. The Supreme War Council has agreed to send General Henrys to Poland to assist General Pilsudski.

Le Matin reports that the German military delegates at Posen have broken off negotiations with the Entente Commission, and have. left the city. The immediate cause of the rupture is hoped and believed to be due to the Germans' refusal to comply with the Entente's demand to withdraw the artillery in the region of Dantzig.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
