January 26, 10.30 a.m. WARSAW, January 24

Bolshevik troops from Siberia are reinforcing their army on the Polish, fronts, and are concentrating in the area which Denikin abandoned. Trotsky is apparently making ready for an attack before the thaw commences, planning to smash the Polish flank, but the Ukrainians are supporting the Poles, and should stop the advance. Petlura shortly re-enters the field on the Polish side. Brusiloff commands one of the Bolshevik armies. It is stated that his son, who was compelled to serve with the Bolsheviks, fell into Denikin’s hands, and was shot as a traitor. Thereupon Brussiloff offered to serve Trotsky.
