REDS IN CONTACT WITH GERMANS.
(Received July 23, 9.40 aim.) LONDON, July 21. The Morning Post's Warsaw * correspondent says that the news that the ♦Soviet- Government has rejected the armistice proposals,. comes as a relief after a period of restless uncertainty. Fighting is now actually occurring at Grodno and 1 Kovel, while the Bolshevik cavalry is reported at Bialystok, the evacuation whereof is*" progressing. The most significant news to-day is the crossing by the Bolsheviks of a"li»e of boundary of Poland, defined by the Peace Congress, and invading territory which is admittedly purely Polish m .population. The Bolsheviks have now formed contact with East Prussia, and penetrat'on was effected ovr the Niemen river. There" is little likelihood( that .t,he Bolsheviks v will receive co-operation- and sympathy from East Prussia, which is reactionary.' but the fact that communication is established between Soviet Russia and Germany is regarded as an even* of first consequence. — 'A. and N.Z.C.A.
