·BIG CZÉCHO-SLOVAK VICTORY,

SHANGHAI, October 19th. (Delated).

In the Northern Urais 8,000 Bolshevika advancing on Ekatirinburg were covoarely defeated by Czecho-Slovak and Siberian forces. One thousand ware killed. Thres armoured trains were captured,

What would have happened in London, FAR Glasgow or Manchester if the men in the workshops in those cities had been in formed that the managers wore "reluot- antly compelled to lower their wages from 70 shillings to 50 shillings a week? Such a reduction would have been very much less than the war-time increase, bat, for all that, it is safe to say that it would not have been accepted without tremendous industrial discord. Yet the munition workery in Germany appear to have taken the blow lying down." This shows us how well schooled they have been by the Junkers, and helps to make us scoptical about the German masse doing anything to free themselves from those who rule over them. Yet it is certain, from the tone of President WILSON's despatches, that at some time or other they will have to repudiats the Junkers and their crimes in order to

secure peace.

The fact of the matter is that the KAISEE and the militarists still rattle the

CALENDAR sword in Germany as for years they

rattled it in the Chancelleries of Europe. While our own people have raised in dignant cries against profiteering, and will keep you in remembrance all while Parliament has insisted upon
