THE FIGHTING IN RUSSIA.

Odessa, Sept. 7.

With the loss of Kieff the Bolshevista must have abandoned any hope of retaking Odessa. Indeed they have their work- cut out to escape the meshes of the huge encircling move- ment. Denikin's men are showing the utmost tolerance to Jews.

Archangel, Sept: 5.

A huge fire at Maimaxi Island was extinguished after destroying timber and sawmills, and causing damage of at least sixty million roubles. Foul play is suspected. The balk of the loss falls on British companies.

Preparations-for-the-withdrawal of the British are pro- ceeding very swiftly. It will be covered by tanks and naval

Funs.

Stockholm, Sept. 4. It is reported that the Bolshevists have proposed an armistice with the Lithuanians with the object of beginning peace negotiations.

Odessa, Sept. &

General Smirnoff, of Port Arthur fame, was among the rescued hostages. The majority of the Bolshevik's victims were shot in the courtyard of their headquarters, in the garage thereof and the labyrinth of cellars beneath. The walls of the cellars were pitted with bullet marks and bespattered with bloodstains and portions of brains. Enn- dreds of empty vodka bottles were found in one cellar, show- ing that the executioners were duped before their work One open cellar, twenty feet deep, overlocked by a window

with a mass of humanity below the executioners. Those. arrested included several girls in their teens. The shoot- ing was carried out regularly at eleven every night. The number of victims is estimated at between two and three thousand.

THE PEACE TREATY.

Paris, Sept. 5.

German papers state that the Government will respond to the Allied ultimatum that a change can only be made with be consent of the National Assembly. The time limit of the Entente is insufficient-Havas

Paris, Sept 5

M. Barthou in the Chamber of Deputies concluded a critical speech on the Treaty of Peace, recommending ratifi- cation to Parliament and pleading extennating circumstances. M. Franklin Bouikon delivered a viclent speech rendering ML Clemenceau as personally responsible for the short- comings of the treaty.. Governmental papers state that the speeches of M. Tardieu and M. Barthou demonstrate that the treaty is by no means so bad as described by the Extreme Left and Extreme Right-Havas

HUNGARY

Budapest, Sept. 5.

The city is on the verge of famine. There are twelve days' supply of fats, eleven days' flour and corn, two day's meat, four days' cool and practically no milk. The mor- tality among infants is fifty per cent. The municipal store- houses are empty. There is not a single egg in it, compared with twelve million normally. Six hundred tons of provi sions are arriving daily instead of the customary three thousand Vegetables form the chief dietary. Dogs have been catea récently.

Vienna, Sept. &

The labour organ Arbeiter Zeitung appeals to the Entente to finish the Friedrich regime at Budapest, and adds "If the Entente desires to see a peaceful democratic regime established in Hungary, this agent of the Hapsburgs must not be allowed to rule the country ander the protec- tion of the Rumanians." Nobody can expect the Hungarian Democracy to recognise a National Assembly elected ander the intimidation of Friedrich's creatures.

THE AUSTRIAN TREATY.

Paris, Sept. 5.

The Council of Five has received no official advices yet that Rumania, Serbia and Czecho Slovakia will refuse to sign the Austrian Treaty In Paris circles it is believed these States will sign despite the rumours-Havas

Paris, Sept. 8.

The Yugo Slavs have decided to sign the Austrian Treaty, hoping to secure modification of the minorities protec- tion clause.

RUMANIA WITHDRAWS.

Paris, Sept. 5.-

It is rumoured in Paris that the Rumanians are on the point of withdrawing troops from Budapest, the real reason being the reopening of railway traffic between Hungary and Rumania via Szolnok-Havas.

SYRIA.

Paris, Sept. 8

Sir Edmund Allenby has arrived. French newspapers/ declare the situation with regard to Syria is easier. They mention the report that Sir Edmund Allenby is going to England to advise that France get the mandate for Syris

BACHELORS OF COMMERCE

In the near futurs we shall pro-t bably “find ourselves - doing business with men who sport after their names the symbols B.Com. or M.Com., says-a writer in the Daily Afail. These stand for Bachelor off Commerce and Master of Com- marce, new degrees which the University of London intend to bestow upon those who successS= || fully pass the examination for education. higher commercial Master of Commerce sounds rather a tall order, but so, for that i matter, does Master of Arts. One must not take the title too seriously or expect that its possessor will suddenly be trans-- muted into a god-like person on A pinnacle, any more than one finds an ordinary M.A. a masterpiece of wisdom or necessarily sh authority on the arts. Are degrees in commerce desirable? Will they make for greater efficiency? Will they stand for something real and practical? The consensus of brisiness opinion seems to be in their favour. The committee the appointed to inaugurate scheme contains among its mem- bers men whose names are house held words in the realms of finance, of commerce, and of general, business. These men would not lend themselves to the scheme. unless they had fully satisfied themselves as to its utility. The old idea was that higher education, with its degrees, was.only useful for men studying. førprofessions. In commerce the man with a university degree-was. often looked at askance as a prig. or pedant, who would probably adopt airs of superiority. It! was regarded as a bar rather: than a help to a commercial! career. Business and commerce could only be learnt, "it was supposed by actual experience in business houses. It could not be taught by professors or studied out of books. Well, time has altered that view. In other countries intensive training in commerce is given at the schools and universities. Gradually it was forced upon us that our business men were not sufficient- ly well equipped to meet on favourable terms the commercial men of other countries. Take the matter of languages alone. How few Englishmen ever take the trouble to master and speak fluently in foreign tongues! The result has been that our big business houses have always been compelled to employ foreigners in connection with their trade abroad, to our disadvantage. Here the commercial education offered by the University of London will be of immense advantage. A man, for example, about to be sent out by his firm to open a branch in a foreign country might have all the business knowledge, necessary, but might not have the necessary kuowledge of the language. would be open to him to attend- the classes in this one subject alone, without taking upibe complete course.. Another ad- vantage of the scheme is that the study for the degree can be carried out by those already. engaged in business, so that theory and practice can march side by side, But, the ideal of the promoters is catch your man young and to produce a new class of commercially educated men who will come into business at 21 or 22 years of age after or four years of full-time study in a college of the university. Every candidate for a degree will have pass the Matriculation, which en- sures a good general education. For his Intermediate he will have to pass an examination in a modern language, in banking, economics, the elements of

accountancy, acography, Before a Master's degree IS awarded the student will bave to undergo practical commercial experience for not less than two years after having taken his B." Com, degree.

MISSING PEACE ODE. Had the Post Laureate, up to. the present, written any Peace i ode, or any other poem comme- morative of Britain's part in the war, asked Mr. Bottomley in the House of Commons recently. Mr. Bonar Law said that, so far as he knew, the answer was in the negative. Mr. Bottomley Is the right hon. gentleman awero that a portion of the remunera- tion of the Post Laureate consists of a certain cash payment in lieu of supply of Canary wine (laughter) and has the, Govern- ment considered the paying of that part of the salary in kind, on the off chance of his getting inspiration? (Laughter.) ME.", Bonar Law-Before adopting that suggestion I should have to ask thehancellor which would cost

the country the most (Laughter)
