BOLSHEVIKS CAUSE ALARM'
LONDON, July 26. Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand are holding a conference at Boulogne on July 27. Their decisions are anxiously awaited. It is becom ing evident that the Bolshevists hope to come to Load in on an equal footing with the Allies. In the meantime they are strengthening their position everywhere, especially in Poland and border states. A note of alarm has already been sounded from Lithuania where the Bolshevists, in spite of the recent treaty, have established Soviet rule. A

LONDON, July 23, *There are many complexities in the situation in Poland. In spite of the offer of an armistice, fierce fighting continues. Accounts regarding results are hopelessly contradictory. There is much discussion in the news- papers concerning the attitude of Germany, which besides proclaiming neutrality, has declared against allowing the Extente troops to traverse German territory en route to Poland transferring to Poland arms and munitions, which under the Treaty of pugnant to Australia. Versailles, should be handed over to the Allies. Moreover, Germany has asked permission to raise a special force to defend the east Prussian frontier against the Bolshevists and at the same time the dockers at Dantig have refused to unload a Dutch ship laden with munitions for Poland. Thus there is a situation such as would create a strong suspicion that Germany is seeking to profit from the Allies' difficulties in Poland to extort concessions for example, with regard to disarmament in the Polish corridor of upper Silesia. It is noteworthy that the command of the German forces in East Prussia is entrusted to Genedal Dassel, who actually participated in the Kapp revolt
NATIONAL COAL STRIKE. THREATENED.
STRIKE BALLOT NEXT MONTH.
LONDON, July 26.
The Government to-night informed a deputation from the Miners' Federation of its unqualified rejection of the demand for an increase_in wages of two shillings a week and a reduction in the price of housencia coal by fourteen shillings per ton. The claim was formulated with the object of absorbing a surplus estimated at £66,000,000. The executive subsequently received the position and decided to convene a national conference for August 12 when arrangements will probably be made to take a strike ballot. A serious crisis is threatened by the end of August, when the returns will be available.

The time is not specified so I houses escape, being the death-place of somebody some time, even if no bird, which nobody has seen. bear in Bloody matter from the nine-headed mind, should have fallen.
As anticipated, the report of the advisory committee on railway rates recommends from August 5 an increased charge for ordinary passenger -tickets (which are now fifty per cent. above pre-war fares) to seventy-five per cent also an increase for season tickets varying from ten to twenty per cent on the present rates. Also various increases in workmen's fares, some of which, the report says, have been unjustifiably low. The maxinum increase is limited to 200 per cent above pre-war rates. The Government's called out in a similar manner before decision on the report is expected on Wednesday. Meanwhile the public agitation against raising the fares in the middle of the holiday season gdes on unabated.
