EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK CAMPAIGN.
London, Sept. 25.
Denitia continues to be successful on the whole frost and prisonered over 6,000 Bolshevists, along the Don and Khoper rivers in a week. Kolchak's offensive is progressing satisfactorily. Since the beginning of the offensive he has advanced an average of fifty miles on the whole front except at Tobolsk. The Bolshevists continue to progress in Tarkes tan meeting with little opposition. Probably they are able to consolidate their gains and their communications with Turkestan cannot be interrupted.
A War Office statement gives details of the progress of Denikin's operations, in the course of which it is stated he made important captures of towns and men and material. Renewed Bolshevik attacks against Wrangel's entrenched line north of Tsaritsin were defeated with the aid of tanks.. The Bolsheviks crossed the Khoper on a 43 tiles front. On the Don the troops, who are strongly opposing them have the situa- tion well in hand. The famous raiding General Mamontor has apparently re-joined up with Denikio. The Eighth Soviet Army is reported to have been badly handled, retiring in disorder in consequence of Mamontor's operations. Deni- kin's captures at Kursk included five thousand prisoners, -thirty guns, two armoured trains and much material.
The Times" correspondent with General Kolchak's army reports (Sept. 20): The Bolsheviks are concentrating their forces against Koltebak's left flank, which is astride the Siberian railway.
A Bolshevik wireless from Moscow (Sept. 94) states that practically the whole of Siberia from Irkutsk to Bhagorest- chensk is in the hands of the Bolshevists.
BOLSHEVISM IN AMERICA.
New York, Sept. 20.
Judge Gary, president of the Steel Corporation, announced that he declined to negotiate the strike with Fitzpatrick or his associates. The Corporation would only deal with their own employees, the majority of whom were non-Unionists, He described Fitzpatrick as an acknowledged revolutionist and emphasised the strike if it succeeded would probably be the beginning of an upheaval which might have grave con- sequences. He asserted that the L W W was carrying on Bolshevistic propaganda with money from Russia.
SHANTUNG AGAIN.
Cheyenne, Wyoming, 27. Presiden: Wilson in a speech declared he would regard the adoption of the proposed Senate reservation with regard to Article 10 of the Peace Treaty as the rejection of the Treaty. He reaffirmed the United States was not entitled to doubt Japan's promise with regard to Shantung and characterised the professions of friendship towards China by opponents of the treaty as "empty noise."

3-4 long debate has taken. place? in the National Assembly st Weimar on the position of chil dren of unmarried: mothers: in relation to the marriage clauses of the new Constitution. Both the Socialist parties introduced mo- tions practically removing all distinctions between married and unmarried mothers and between children born in and out of wed-| lock, while the Centre party op posed these motions on the ground that if they were accept- ed the sacredness of marriage and of family life would be des troyed
Frau
Dr.
Juchauz, a Socialist depur demanded that the chi d ren of an unmarried mother should have the same rights as those of a matried mother and be entitled. also to inherit from the father and mother. Luppe, for the Democrats, moved that children of unmarried mothers be accorded by the Con- stitutionthesamerights ofdevelop ment as enjoyed by children of married mothers, while Frau Zeitz moved on behalf of the Inde pendent Socialists that a child born out of wedlock should take the name of the father and be on a complete equality with one born in wedlock, and that an unmarried mother be entitled to be addressed as Frau.
The Constitution Committee finally moved that the Govern- ment be requested to introduce a Bill regalating in a just manner the legal and social position of the illegitimate child.
THE UNMARRIED
MOTHER.
Frau Roht (Majority Socialist) considered that this motion did not go far enough, for it ignored the unmarried mother. No one, she maintained, had the right to leave the unmarried mother with- out the protection of the Constitu- tion, and she insisted that such at injustice towards her and her child should disappear from modern Germany,
Fran Nejaus (Centre Party), who-has-devoted her life to social work in the interests Lof women and children,
maintained that there
must
be a distinction between mar riage and other unions not based on fidelity and responsibility. She urged that it would be fatal to the nation if the fundamental character given to a mother and her child by marriage were taken away by placing marriage and other unions on an equality, and she demanded that the Constitut- ion, should uphold the difference between marriage and mother- hood, while assuring to the child of the unmarried mother a legal and social position.
Frau Bronner stated that the Democratic Party were of opinion that the rights of illegitimate children should be laid down in a special law and not in the Consti- tution, and consequently she op- posed the Socialist motions. She considered it one of the first duties of the State to remove any stig ma from birth out of wedlock, and argued that an illegitimate child should not be taken away from the mother and should not take! the father's name, for that would only make illegitimacy more pronounced. In some cases, moreover, the name of the father could not be ascertained, so that two classes of illegitimate children would be created.
MOVE TOWARDS
BOLSHEVISM.
Frau von Gierke (German Na- tional Party) asserted that all the motions, including those of the Democrats, aimed at placing
motherhood and marriage on the same level, and she contended that if marriage and the family did not retain its especially secred place in the public mind it would be easy to drift into Bolshevism...
Herr Burlage, & Centre Deputy, said his party was of the opinion that the Independent Socialista aimed consciously and deliberate ly at depreciating marriage, and maintained that it would be a re- trograde step to place children born out of wedlock on an equality with those born in wed- look:

The voting on the various motions was postponed. Apart from the intrinsic importance of the debate, it is significant inf that it shows once again how really opposed to each other are the views of the Centre and the Socialist Parties, now mling Germany.
