ENGLAND'S ELVA TENNIS

Vienna, August 3.

A communique states that Bola Kan and hi associates Ben been granted asylum in Austris in order to avoid disturbanos and unnecessary bloodshed in Budapest. Ther will be allowed to stay in Austris in confinement until Hangary is able to receive them again, but they must not conduct political propaganda. The communique is much criticised by the press; for example the "Nenafreispresss" paints out that Bela Kun is responsible for many murders and opines that his stay in Vienas may be dangerous to the city.

The Ramanian army will halt in their present positions and only move back to the line of demarcation fixed on June 13 if Hungary observes the terms of the armistice.

MORE BOLSHEVIST HORRORS.

London, July 31. Beuter's special correspondent at Rostoff on the Don writing of July 31 says the horrors perpetrated at Kharkof by the Chresvýchaika or the Bolshevik Extraordinary Com- mission are irrefutable. After the occupation of the city by Denikin's troops hundreds of victims of Bolshevik cruelty were disinterred in the presence of medical authorities, re- presentatives of Trades-Unions and responsible foreigners, and photographs were taken. Some devices of torturing.. the victims were of fiendish ingenuity. One was called glove making, the skin of the hands with the nails being stripped from the living victims. Several pairs of these gloves were found and photographed. Every conceivable form of muti- lation was perpetrated in the Chresvychaika slaughter house. Hands, feet and breasts were cut off, jaws smashed, eyes gouged out and the victims disembowelled or tortured with boiling water.

Ekaterinodar, July 31. Describing the situation prior to the recent fighting Beuter's correspondent says three divisions of Bolshevists have arrived from the eastern front. Kuban Cossacks are harassing the Bolshevists and captured s thousand in a single engagement besides inflicting numerous casualties. Workmen at Kharkoff are bitterly incensed against the Jews and openly protest against Denikim's probibition of nograma. Many were thrown alive in wells and mineshafts. Others were sealed in huge holes in the ground and in un- derground galleries Several layers of corpses were dis- Covered. The Commissaries nightly made merry while the Bolshevik Chinese and other ghouls ware revelling in a more ghastly manner. They made farcical charges and ¿pouze were AIrested and shot for possessing verses satiria- ing the Bolsheviks. Among the favourite questions of the inquisitors was Have you ever abused Trotsky sa a Jew! Repressions and atrocities were redoubled after visits by Trotsky to Kharkoff. The inhabitants deliriously welcom- ed the Cossacka Practically all the workmen are now bit- tor against Bolsheviks and similarly the peasants in the surrounding country. Workmen latterly are openly deri Sing the Bolshevik posters circulating ridiculous lies.

STRIKE TROUBLE AT BALE.

THE LABOUR CONFERENCE.

Lucerne, Angust 2

At the Conference of Labour and Socialists Interns- tional there was much criticism on the alleged lack of vigour of the acting Commission during the war. There

was a dramatic scene when M. Vandervelde accused the Ger- man Socialists of weakening the International because they destroyed its moral and prestige. It was the first time Bel- gian and German Socialists had been confronted in the International since the war, M. Vandervelde said Socializzz -- was never so strong yet the International was never so weak bocause Belgium and France were still bleeding from their wounds. It was impossible to restore the International until the Germans admitted or the Conference recorded con- demnation of their responsibility for the war. The "Ger- man, Morekeabuhr,, begged the Conference not to pursue the discussion because. Socialista in the Reichstag were now demanding that everything be cleared up and all do. caments published, baving no desire to shield the guilty. M. Vandervelde reserted right to raise the matter at the next Conference because effective action by the Interna- tional was impossible until the question was settled. The " Chairman, Mr. Henderson, suggested that the Germans prepare a party statement ça responsibility for submission to Lext Congress and thus obviate further discussion and· promote unity.

WIMBLEDON TAKEN OVER BY INVADERS-

Four England !" She was crowd ed out at Wimbledon on June 28, so completely that one almost for. got that the Mother Country was playing in the lawn tennis cham: pionships. In the famous centre court the programe was made up as follows: California v. England Australia, v.South Africa, America v. America, Australiav. America And the one English player was well beaten Regrettable, and yet inevitable; it was always 4 foregone conclusion that the 1919. championships at Wimbledon, would carry a strongly accen tuated Colonial Continental and American flavour. England had just one young player of pos sibilities, Max Wooshim, and-he went out quite early. At the moment A. R. F. Kingscote is the only English player who remains in the breach who possÉBBES real chance-a worthy but lonely upholder of English lawn tennis

AN INFINITE VARIETY.

For the moment the furore is! for the ladies' singles, for Miss Lenglen has set Wimbledon well alight. She won again yesterday against Mrs. Craddock, who is quite good, and she won in the style of a great player of lawn tennis. This chic, dainty little ginLom Picardy is ratherwonder- fal, and the more one sees of her play the more wonderful she ap pears. It is the literal truth to say that she has no faults. Yesterday she amazed one by the infinite variety of her excellence; she plays lawn tennis that is very deadly, yet she makes it appear the most charming of games, the very poetry of motion. She began to play the game when quite a kiddie, and that is, perhaps, the secret of her success-the secret of the extraordinary naturalness of all she does. There is no effort in her style; it is as simple as breathing and as pretty as a minuet. An infant prodigy, but, with none of the forced hot-house cleverness of the usual infant prodigy, she is as dainty as a snowdrop and as ruthless as war,

Miss Ryan's centre court match with Miss Holman was always a good thing for the Californian player after the settling-down process had been accomplished. Miss Ryan played a strong, forceful game which was always carrying her through against the softer tactics of her opponent

GOBERT WINS.

A. H. Gobert. the stylish Frenchman, played on court 4 against Donisthorpe, the player who uses a big racket.

He is quite entitled to do so according to the laws of the game as they stand but at the same time one cannot help regarding the "fry- ing-pan" weapon

as freakish With it a "soft" game is inevit- able, and that does not conduce to the prestige of laws tennis, Gobert appeared a little startled early on by the sight of that huge barrier in the hands of his op- ponent, and he lost the first set at 10-12, but once his alarm bad subsided he soon showed which way the result would go, and passed into the next" round quite easily,

A SOUTH AFRICAN BEATEN. There was a fine singles game in the centre court between R. W. Heath (Australia) and BJ.C. Norton (South Africa). Heath can give Norton several years, and yet he is far from being an old man and that kind are dangerous. How dangerous Nor- ton bea сака to reflect, for he lost the match after winning the first two sets, In these opening sets youth was triumphant the pink and white boy from South Africa scoring in great style with some punishing and yet accurate forcing play. Heath, in no way perturbed took his beating, and then began to develop his own plan of campaign and it was good enough to win him the right to enter the next! round,Norton fading away to northing under the pressure of a strong, well-sustained, and clever attack. Heath has found his form at Wimbledon after a rather disappointing season in the singles at the various totras very good ones to beat them might spring menta; he is good enough to beat Earlier on W. Davis had won singles. any opponent at all below top his singles match, and the more slready notch standard, but not quite one sees of him the more one good enough to defeat the real likes him. His service is extra- champion. North will go far if ordinarily difficult to take, and he perseveres, se
