The| United States ‘antl’ Great Britain wished to follow this policy but; France objected, insisting that the!

Lenine and Trotzky cleverly persuad- ed the Russian people that the allies were intent upon:destroying Russia./ The response to the Bolsheviki cal for volunteers for the army was over- whelming. Every attempt of the al- lies to fight*Russia from within was defeated. But the raising of large armies by the Bolsheviki for defense purposes at last bred a spirit of military ad-' venture. Poland had been encour-| aged by France to invade Russia and had suffered severe defeat. The Poles were driven from' Russian territory. The conquering Russians became in- toxicated with their successcs. In- stead of resting on their own frontier they pursued the enery into Poland. The Poles werd demoralized. A wave of imperialism swept over Russia. The Russiahs determined to. take Warsaw: = The Poles were badly led and their.officers were not skilled in mapor strategic problems. & At this critical - moment France sent to Warsaw General Weygand, Marshal Foch’s most trusted: lieuten- ant. WeWygand saw at once that the Russians had committed their old military ‘fault o outrunning their lines of .communications. By a few masterly mandeuvers with the Polish army, demoralized as it was, he threatened to annihilate the Russian invaders. Their supplies were in grave danger and a retreat was necessary. Within a week Weygand had cleared Poland of Russian troops. Hardly a blow had been struck. It was all a series of problems in higher strategy. The collapse of the military pres- tige of the Bolsheviki was followed by acceptance of the Polish peace terms. These terms were far differ-- ent from the set of Soviet conditions which Lenine and Trotzky had hoped to force upon the Poles. The dis- astrous adventure into Poland dis- mayed the Russian troops. They de- serted by thousands and returned home disillusioned. Thereafter, re- volts against the Bolsheviki began to be frequently reported from many. parts of the country.
