BRITAIN'S WARNING TO RUSSIA.

SOVIET ASSERTS BAD FAITH CHARGES ARE BASELESS.

BERLIS, September 26. Berzin, a member of the Reisian trade delegation repiring to Earl | Carzon's note accusing the Soviet Government of bad faith in spreading pro- paganda against Britain in Central Asia and Afghenistan, says that the Russian Government, while convinced that Earl Curzon's accusations are baseless, is making fresh enquiries in order to refute them in detail. Berzin asserts that Earl Curzon and the Foreign Office are victims of false reports spread by Russian White guards and the French, and concludes that the Russian Government is more than ever anxious for teadly relations with the British Government and has proved its good intentions by ceasing all ac- tivity in the Fast likely to offend the latter since the Anglo-Russian trade

agreement was concluded.

BERLIN, September 26.

3. Krassin states that he is convinced that if Soviet agents in Afghan- istan and Persia have been guilty of the charges Ear! Curzon has made against them they will be recalled forthwith and punished, just as he is sure the British Govemment would deal with officials who, recently deported the Soviet mission from Constantinople,

CONTRADICTORY REPORTS ISSUELĮ,

LONDON, September 27.

Contradictory reports with regard to the Serbian and Albanian hostilities are being iseted by the Serbs aud Albaniacs. Messages from Tirana, the Albanian capital, speak of heroic Albanian resistance against attacks by the Serbian army south of the Mirdite district, the objective of which is said to be occupation of the Luria mountain west of Dibra commanding the Tirana plain and threatening the Albanian capital. The Serbi assert that Alhanian reports of fighting are without foundation, the object being to impress the League of Nations ---

but Mr. G. R. export firm, Haywood, who prosecuted, said that, since the

was issued, a further sum of $129 had been traced in the books and this brought the total of the alleged defalcations to nearly $19,000. The books were in the defendant's hand- writing, so he was instructed.

The Magistrate remarked that so many of these cases turned out to be civil ones and not police court cases at all.

Mr. M. W. Watson (for the defence): That is what I understand to be the case here. It is not a question of money being made away with, but of losses of the business.

The Magistrate: If it is embezzle- ment, it is a case for heavy bail. (To the defendant). Do you admit that you were merely the paid mana¬ ger of the firm ?

Defendant: I am an employee. Not a partner?-No, not a partner. What about the deficiency in the

books.

Mr. Haywood explained that the allegation was that the books showed bogas payments purchases of shareS which did not exist and payment of $2,000 salary to the defendant, to which he was not entitled. The defen- dant daappeared to Bism for two years and only returned recently.

The Magisteste: On the face of it, it looks as if there will be some difficulty in proving embezzlement. You have to prove the receipt of certain moneys

Mr. Haywood thought that the entries, in defendant's handwriting, of receipts, were evidence that modey came in, and all the prosecution had to do was to prove that bona fid" pay- ments had not been made.

Mr Watson said the defendant could find $2,000 bail.

The Magistrate remanded the case

STARVED IN A LOFT FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.

A poignant story of a girl's suffer- ugs is reported from Berck-sur-mer, south of Boulogne, says the Central Neus.

There had been considerable public alarm over the whereabouts of a 15- year old girl named Agnarey, who had. not been seen for eighteen months, and the police had failed to elucidate the mystery. Becoming suspicions that the girl was still alive and in ber house somewherd, they searched the premises, with the result that she was found in a very emaciated condition mitting in the loft under the rafters.

She was very poorly dressed, and with her clothes on weighed little over four stone.
