HAVAS REVIEW.
A WARSHIP FOR DENIKINE.
PARIS, October 3. The peace treaty was ratified by the French Chamber of Deputies yesterday by 372 votes to 53. The opposition included 49 Socialists but 33 deputies of the same opinion were abstaining despite an order of their party binding them to vote against the bill. The concluding scenes were worthy of the occasion. All the members of the cabinet were present and the deputies seats were Elled. The greatest scene of enthusiasm was after the adoption by unanimous vote of the bil confirming the treaties with Great Britain and the United States regarding the help to be given France in case of unprovoked attack by Germany.
Two of the Allied Powers have now ratified the treaty, Great Britain and France. A third is necessary to make the ratification definite.
The Council of five met yesterday and decided to extend further aid to the anti-Bolshevist forces by turning over to General Denikine the Russian cruiser Volia which was seized by the British navy in the Black Sea,
CLEMENCEAU SCORES AGAIN.
PARIS, October 2
In the French Chamber of Deputies yesterday M. Clemenceau again had his way in the matter of the proposed addition to the Treaty of Versailles providing for a more effective disarmament of Germany. On the question of adjournment of the discussion, on a resolution proposed and ardently advocated by M. Andre Lefevre to this end, the question was put as a vote of confidence on M. Clemenceau's demand, and the government won by a majority of seventy-four votes.
A despatch from Berlin received yesterday in Paris states that the Berlin government, acting on the Council of Five's ultimatum, has defaite. ly recalled von der Goltz from the Baltic provinces,
THE STRIKE.
PREMIER'S PASSIONATE APPEAL.
LONDON, October 4. The news of the breakdown of negotiations was received with conster. nation and regret. It is understood that the Premier at the Downing Street conference passionately appealed to the railwaymen to accept the offer of arbitration, which was a new offer and in effect was an offer of an armie tice accompanied by arbitration. Government circles strongly opine that the railwaymen's flat refusal of the offer reveals that there's more behind the strike than the mere question of wages. The conference of trade unions adjourned until October 7 when the delegates to Downing Street will submit proposals to the conference.
TWO PRESS OPINIONS.
LONDON, October 4. The Daily Express says the acceptance of the railwaymen's conditions yesterday would Have meant the abdication of the government. The next move lies with the other trade unions. We appeal to them in such a fate, ful crisis not to declare a strike without a full ballot of members of each union.
The Daily Herald says the government's last offer was the greatest insult of all. It was the old offer with the additional suggestion that the forces of reaction should have seven days truce in which to perfect their

N. 1. B.
The conference of trade unions assembled in London in the evening after the breakdown of negotiations and resolved to convene on October 7 such a conference as will have the sanction and authority of the respon- sible trade unions of the country to engage and" form moral sympathetic | support for the railwaymen in the struggle they are waging for trade unionist principles. Meantime the delegates who have been consulting the Premier will meet and formulate the proposals which they are convinced PORTUGUESE IN TROUBLE. will prove acceptable to the entire trade union movement."
Mr. O'Grady, interviewed after the conference, said the committee before October 7 would try to straighten matters out between the railway- men and the goven.ment. He added that the situation had not improved but that he had not lost hope.
