OF CITY Ts Battered Down by Bolshevik Hordes Polish Defense Sent Into Battle (By Associated: Ptess) 7 WARSAW, Aug. 3.—Brest- Litovsk, the last great fortress guarding Warsaw from the east, apparently has fallen br- fore a tremendous assault by Bolsheviki. Northward, the Soviet forces have smashed their way forward in a drive westward to a point only 60-miles east of this city. Over a front of 120 miles the Polish armies are being pounded to pieces be- fore a rush of Bolshevik hordes, which are being hurled into the battle in a desperais attempt to capture Warsaw before the conclusion of the armistice conference at’ Kobryn. The official statement last night showed that the Sovie. armies had reached a line run- ning from Kossaki to Ciechanowicz, which is 60 miles from this oity: SOVIET FUNCTIONS _ IN POLISH TERRITORY, (By.
