KAMENETT BITTER.

ACCUSES ELOYD GEORGE OF HYPOCRI

ANSWER TO CHARGES.

"'LONDON, September 13

It now transpires that before leaving London M. Kamereff sent a letter to certain members of Parliament protesting against the circumstances attending his departure. He bitterly accuses Mr. Lloyd George during his stay of using every

means to delay the approach Of peace negotiations. He' alleges that the Prime Minister decided to hide the breach under a cloud of accusations against himself officially, the four counts being partkipation in the realisation of Russian jewels in Britain, subsidising the Daily Herald, having relations with the Council of Action, and incorrect transmission of Russian conditions for the

KAMENEFF'S REGRET.

armistice with Poland.

Dealing with these charges ad seriatim he declares that he had nothing to do with realisation of jewels. He had in neither personal nor official capacity had dealings whatsoever with the Daily Herald or any newspaper. He clearly informed the Council of Action when the latter visited him that he, was under an obligation not to-do anything beyond communicating bare facts. As regards the Polish armistice, he asserts that the Soviet abandoned_the point about the workers' militia in Poland as a result of his representations. He says that the introduction of this point is all the more hypocritical because the Prime Minister might have used it three weeks back if he considered it an obstacle to the pursuit of peace negotiations. M. Kameneff expresses regret that the Government has broken off negotiations owing to paltry and unproved accusations supplied by subordinate secret police agents.

STATEMENTS UNTRUE.

LONDON, September 15. Sir William Sutherland, M. P., has declared that M, Kameneff's state ments, are entirely untrue and most of them bear their own contradiction. If necessary, a great deal more can be said by the British Government,

COAL DISTRIBUTION.

INTERESTING WHITE PAPER FIGURES.

LONDON, Sep'amber “13.

Apropos of the question of the present distribution of the coal output a White Paper shows that during the quarter ended July 30, 58,000,000 tans were produced of which mine consumption and miners' coal absorbed nearly a tenth. Approximately 9,500,000 tons were exported. The costs of production totalled £88,000,000 of which £66,000,000 was paid out in wages. The tonnage raised per person was 49.33 tons.

MINERS' CASE EXPLODED.

The return shows that the gross profits from coal mining were £8,000,000 for the Jane quarter, but this amount is subject to charges for interest, de- preciation, owners profits and capital adjustments, making the net profits for the quarter £750,000, or 53,000,000 a year. In this connection it is pointed out that Mr. Smillie's case for a 14s.-28. redaction ip the price of coal is based on his assumption that the industry will give a year's surplus of £66,000,000; Consequently it is claimed that the return completely explodes the miners? case. The figures show, moreover, that the average earnings of coal- workers of all grades are £226 annually as against £82 before the war. As compared with the previous quarter the output of the mines has de creased approximately by 4,000,000 tons, while the coal exported has de creased by nearly 3,500,000 tons.

NEVER AGAIN.”.

GERMINS AND WAR.

- DEMONSTRATION IN BERLIN.

***Never again was the motto of an impressive anti-war demonstration held in the great epen space in front of the cathedral and the ex-Kaiser's Palace and attended by about 40,000 people, who thus commemorated the day which six years ago Germany declared war on Russia. Among the participants were unions of ex-soldiers, associations of war-disabled men, and war widows and orphans, the Repub- bean Officers' League, the Interna tional League of ex-Soldiers, and other organisations, all with banners and motices denouncing war. No more terrible reminiscence of its horrors |could be imagined than the hundreds of mutilated men massed on tier after tier of the broad steps leading up to the museum, men from whose ranks arms, without noses, with faces hor- rose scores of crutches, men without

ribly disfigured, men who had lost an eye or both eyes, all derelicts of the conflict. Many eloquent that the rations of Europe must never speeches were delivered declinag again allow themselves to be plunged into such a disaster. Then with bared heads the throng of ex-soldiers sang. in memory of the fallen the old song,

I had a trusty comrade.”

A telegram was read from M. Henri ex-Soldiers' Association, sending bro- Barbasse in the name of the French

therly greetings, and declaring that, it would join with its German com;" rades in preventing by every means in its power the outbreak of another conflict. A warm reply was sent, in which a tribute was paid to the author of “Le Féu,” which has done so much to bring home the horrors of war. To the ex-soldiers in all lands a wire

that thousands of Berlin war victims less message was despatched declaring and pacifists promised their comrades in every country to use all their pow ers for the reconciliation of the peoples and for healing the wounds

caused by the war.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

The French and Italian Premiers meeting at present at Aix les Bains are discussing important subjects with the object of arriving at a common agreement on points on which the two countries hitherto have differed. According to accounts in the French Press M.
