The ''Morning Post's" Moscow correspondent states that the Polish advance against the Bolsheviks on the Dvinsk and Vilhynian front was halted a week ago.
It is believed that a crisis is approaching and that the Reds are contemplating a strong attack against -ihe Poles without waiting for more favourable spring weather conditions, the idea being to forestall the Polish drive which it is feared may be made Infer under the auspice,? of the Allies, particularly England.
It is reported that Trotsky is planning to open a campaign at the beginning of March.
Many German officers are instructing the Bolshevik forces at Moscow.
The newspapers describe Denikin's rout under such headlines as "Denikin Now!" "Poles Next!"—A. and N.Z.
