MAYOR OF CORE.
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN ITE LAST?
GOVERNMENT STILL ADAMANT,
LONDON, September 9.
It is stated that the Lord Mayor of Cork has suddenly weakened and is in continuous pain. The doctor declares that only his extraordinary vitality is keeping him alive. Visitors are forbidden to converse with the patient. Mr. ' Lloyd George, yesterday in an interview, declared that unconditional release was impossible. The Government held proof that the so-called Republican army, and in particular the brigade of which Mr. McSwiney mas brigadier was actively concerned in police murders of which SO had been done to death. In the meantime, Sinn Fein has not replied to ME Lloyd George's offer of release conditional upon murders ceasing. The Premier pointed out that Cabinet was faced with two alternatives in its Irish policy, either of handing over the south to the Republican Army and leaing the Uster men to fight without intervention, or of protecting the men who were defending the flag.
RUSSIAN GOLD.
£75,000 OFFERED TO BRITISH NEWSPAPER
SHOULD IT BE ACCEPTED?
LONDON, September 10.
As regards the recent wireless disclosures concerning the Bolsheviks financing the Daily Herald which were immediately denied, the Daily Hecit now admits that one of its directors, Mr. Meynell, has been offered and has accepted £75,000 froin Russia, and that a meeting of shareholders bas been called to consider whether the paper should accept. The Heraud asks its readers whether that money should be accepted It adds that the offer is a magnificent demonstration of real working class solidarity. Acceptance would complete a notable episode in international socialism. The Herald further poifts out that increasing costs of produc Lion, and political shyness of advertisers make it necessary to deuble the price of the Herald without this Russian gold.

SUPERSTITION.
OLD RUSSIAN BELIEF.
ORIGIN NOT IN THE TRENCHES,
The superstition that three persons may not light their cigarettes from the one match without illinck aceru ing to one of them did not, as is sometimes supposed, have its origin in the trenches, writes a Surrey cor respondent of The Daily Mail. It is an old Russian belief; in Russia.you may light one, two, four, or more cigarettes or candles with the same match or taper, but never three. There is a somewhat similar super- stition in Ireland-namely, that you must never have three candles on the same table, and, occasionally, not even in the same room.
