LONDON CONFERENCE NOT ABANDONED.
London, August L
It is learnt authoritatively that Havas' report does not exactly represent the position. The abandonment of the London Conference is not definite, but is conditional on the decision of the British. A wireless note points out that if the Sovist claims to make pen with Polant direct, one of the main reasons for the London Confer ence is removed.
WARSAW IN DANGER.
London, August 4. Warsaw appears to be in serious danger. To-day's Russian communique reports that Red' troops, in the direction of Siedlitz, fifty miles east of Warsaw, have debouched on a 66 miles front, along the line of the river Bug, which is Warsaw's natural line of dafance on the north and east. The communique adds that the river was crossed in several places after fierce fighting. Prisoners were taken. The seriousness of the situation may also be guaged from the fact that information reached London that the French and British Missions have evacuated Warsaw as well as Allied civilians.

In their report, which Issued recently as a White Paper.. the Imperial Wirelose Telegraphy Committee state that the objecta
to be served by an imperial scheme of wireless communication are two, strategic and commer- cial. Strategic needs are common in a large degree to the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force, In many cases the same place will be a naval base, a military head- quarters, and a centre of aviation. Such places would often be also commercial centres. Thus stra- tegic and commercial needs will frequently be met by the same station.
The War Office presented to us. continues the report, a scheme calling for the construction of 22) main stations and 23 subsidiary stations, the total capital cost of which would certainly by many millions of pounds. We are of opinion that the chief military and Air Force needs will by met by the scheme necessary, for commercial requirements.
