The Times' Warsaw correspondent says that Warsaw may now be regarded as perfectly safe, and there is a possibility that the Reds, in attempting to cross the Vistula, may be cut off, as no Red reserves arc within reach to assist them. The successes so far won are attributed to the skill and excellent work of General Weygand and the French staff. Under their capable leadership the Poles reasserted their ascendancy.

GERMAN PLANS UPSET. LABOR ENTENTE DOUBTFUL. Received August 23, 5.5 p.m. Paris, August 21. General Weygand believes that the Polish successes have upset the German plan to purchase the support of the Soviet, with a view to attempting to destroy the Treaty of Versailles. The scheme actually included the desperate idea of throwing the Red armies across the Rhine. Polish resistance has depressed the French Bolsheviks, though some clamor against war continues. It is doubtful whether a strong AngloFrench Labor Entente will be established, despite the optimism of Messrs. Adamson and Gosling.—Times Service.
