Fighting continues along the Polish frontier. The Poles on Monday

took Kovel, with 3,000 prisoners and 36 guns. The Bolsheviks, according to their friends in Berlin, are about to resume the offensive. The Polish peace delegates have, however, left for Riga, where they are to meet the Bolshevik delegates on Saturday. The skirmishes between the Poles and Lithu- anians were resumed on Monday owing to the efforts of the Bolsheviks to make the Lithuanians fight their neighbours. But Polish and Lithuanian representatives met on Tuesday to arrange terms of peace, which, it may be hoped, will include a settlement of the frontier dispute. It is not clear that Lithu- ania can prevent her territory from being used by the Bolshevik forces which still threaten the independence of Poland.
