He dreaded the interminable exmpaigns and the devastat- ing of a country whien was essential to the world's prosperity. He predicted in the early days that Bolshevism could not be suppressed by the sword and that other methods must finally be employed. He wished the prediction had been a distracted and falsified.

EVACUATION OF OMSK.
London, Nov. 7.
10 explanation of the reported civil evacuation of Omak it is reliably stated that only the civil officials are evacuating. in view of the necessity of making Omsk a furtifed camp and the consequent impossibility of administering the country from it, at present; but the Supreme Governor, also the Council of Ministers, are remaining. It is declared that the region between Ishim and Irtysh will become the theatre of decisive battles against the Bolsheviks, who are attempting to invade Headquarters confirm that Koltchak's forees are again retreating on the whole front.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1919.
London, Now,
In the House of Commons, the Enabling Bill giving the English Church greater freedom of management of its internal affairs passed its second reading by 304 votes to 16.
The Enabling Bill establishes an Ecclesiastical Committee of the Privy Council to consider measures passed by the Church Assembly requiring parliamentary sanction. The Committee's report is then presented to Parliament, but no measure will take effect unless both Houses present address- es to His Majesty.
Sir E. Beauchamp, moving the second reading, pointed out that there were many evils in the internal life of the Church needing removal, which could best be effected by giving the Church wider powers to deal with questions of internal welfare.
Mr. Broad moved the rejection of the Bill, contending that if the Church desired freedom the better way was dis- establishment.
Mr. Harry Barnes, seconding, described the proposals as purely, Bolshevik.
Lord Robert Cecil emphasised that no right or privilege was taken from anybody.
Sir D. Maclean opposed the suggested method of electing
It was Church assemblies.
a question for Parliament to
decide.
Mr. Benar Law said disestablishment could not come for years. Therefore the question was whether the Bill' would help to make the Church a more useful weapon in fighting evil.

to a good start, the wind veered from N.E. to N.N.W. falling light
and bringing rain with it.
All classes were together at the first mark but with the wind fresh- ening a little the bigger ratings rapidly drew away only to en- counter another light patch in rounding Channel Rocks.
The wind coming again from the N.. the small boats were able to creep Jup on the Handicap Class and at Lyemun Beacon the, whole fleet of 16 yachts were clustered with- in a distance of 200 yds. forming a pretty sight and providing plenty of excitement during the rounding of the mark.
One or two yachts "cut in" afte their leading boat had altered helm to round the mark- helmsmen should remember that in the event of a touch and resulting protest they have no standing if they "cut in" in such a case, only if an overlap has been established
cut in are they permitted to and call for water."
The beat from the Beacon to the Mark boat in Quarry Bay saw the bigger yachts again draw away and those helmsmen in the smaller boats who observed
held on after reaching the Mark the course taken by them' and
boat were able to pass near Tsat Tse Mui Point and in one case this meant the difference between 3rd and 1st position at the finish. At the faishing time the small boats crossed close hauled on the Port tack to a westerly air.
