The War Office yesterday announces that Yudenitch's left was stilt in touch with the right of the Eathonians operating in the gulf of Finland, who are holding the original line. Yudenitch, who reached a point four miles from Petrograd, is now twelve miles therefrom. Experts opine that any fresh offensive against Petrograd must be supported by an attack from the north. Dericin wirelesses that he has secured 55,000 prisoners and many guns and machineguns in the last ten days.

ANOTHER BOLSHEVIK WIN..
A LONDON, November 6...
It is semi-officially stated that Koltebak's retirement is due to the fact that the Bolshevists, reinforced, captured Fetropavlovsk and crossed the river Ishim. Koltchak's centre has fallen back to within thirty miles of the Ishim river, and his right is withdrawn twenty-five miles west of the town of Ishim and continues its retreat. The Bolshevists claim to have taken prisoner 2,000. On the other band the Bolshevist advance east of Tobolsk is apparently at a standstill. The position on the Russian south front is little changed. The Bolshevista continue to reinforce this front, and are clearly concentrating all their efforts in order to stem Denikin's advance before winter.
CHURCHILL REFERS TO "THE ENEMY.”
The world had a prospective exportable surplus of ment-exclusive of pig meat- of 1,250,000 tons annually.
British ateamers were capable of trans porting to Britain 1,000,000 tons annual-
Food control had operated against British trade interests and in favour of foreign.ones
If control were removed, the price of imported meat would fall by 3d per pound by the end of the year

"CHURCHILL'S REASONS.
"LONDON, November 6.
In his speech Mr. Churchill said there were two factors of famense consequence to Britain arising out of our policy to help Russia. First, the League of Nations 2simed responsibility for the protection of a series of little states stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea Secondly, we retained a friendly inficence upon Russia and would fully exeft that in- fluence to mitigate the ferocity of Bolshevism, to secure the protection of the Jews, and would use it the event of victory for our efforts to secure as far as was possible the establishment of a broad democratic system of government, also to prevent Russia throwing herself into the hands of Ger many (Cheers.)
Colonel Wedgwood's motion was rejected by 251 to 52.
EXCLUSIVE MOTOR ROADS.
ERIC GEDDES' DREAM,
LONDON, November, 6. Sir Eric Geddes, Minister of Transport, speaking at the dinner of the society of motor manufacturers and traders, said a new era of transporta tion was beginning. We must have better roads reserved exclusively for moter traffic, with a private organisation acting as a clearing house. These roads must be classifed and standardised and through routes laid down and maintained to standard by means of a levy on the users of the roads and on those landlords who benefted by fast traffic over their estates There was a great future for road transport of goods and passengers within a fifty mile radius of the great towns, providing better service than the railways. We must find a cheaper road train than the present lory, and a cheaper fuel

All men of position, ecclesisatical as well a civiliar, offered compliments to him. In the afternoon the French Premier was listened to attentirely when he delivered speech on the Government policy, "I am not a candidate for re-election," he said, "but the head of a Government whose taak waa to prosecute the war to victory and conclude pests.

The French Socialist party is to be condemned. for allying itself with a policy of crime. Closing, M.

Poverty in Germany was so great that there might be an explosion at any moment, which might destroy not only Germany but France, Italy, and Britain. The way to restore France was to restore Germany. Another danger was that the world's credit would break down as the credit of Europe was to-day breaking down.

LONDON, November 6. Replying to Sir J. G. Butcher, Major Baird stated the representa tives of the Dominions had not yet expressed their views with regard to amendment of the naturalization laws. Replying to a suggestion that the representatives of the Dominions should be requested to reply as early as possible in order that a Bill might be introduced early next session, he said he was not sure that would meet the case as the matter depanded upon the deliberations of the committee established by the imperial conference.
