LONDON, Aug. 4.—The British government is irritated over what it believes is soviet Russia's equivocation over the British suggestion that the Russians halt at the armistice line of demarcation in Poland and begin peace negotiations. It has dispatched a sharp note to the aov’ct government demanding a ’’yes” or “no” answer as to whether that government intends to listen to the suggestion. LONDON, Aug. 4.—The last natural line of defense between Warsaw and Russia, the River Bug has been crossed by Bolshevik troop* in their advance into Poland, according to unofficial dispatches from the Polish capital received here today. No details were announced as to the point at which the crossing was made. At least one brigade of the Reds already has advanced to a considerable distance beyond the stream, these advices said. The shattering and retreating Polish 4th and 1st armies were unable to offer effective resistance, it was said and had become so widely separated that the soviet troops were able to march through the gap between I hem without danger of being flank>'d.
