BOLSHEVIK PEACE OFFER.

London, Sept. Is

Most of the newspapers continue to emphasise the need to clear up the Russian situation anent which recent official and semi-official announcements trom London, Paris and

Washington are confusing.

The Daily News" Washington correspondent sends a digest of Mr. Bullitt's evidence. Mr. Bullitt declared thas Mr. Lloyd Goerge, addressing the Council of Tea on 16th January, decried the idea of militarily crushing Bolshevism as madness. He admitted that Admiral Koltchak was collect- ing the old regime about him and declared that military action against the Bolsheviks would be followed by a Soviet in London. Mr. Lloyd George won the Council over to the ides, but France opposed and notified certain of the anti- Bolshevik, Governments that she would support them in refusal. Mr. Ballitt was then sent on a Russian mission in an American official capacity and Mr. Lloyd George offered to send Mr. Bullitt to Russia in a cruiser. Mr. Bullitt tele- graphed Lenin's peace proposals from Helsingfors and on zatarning to Paris breakfasted with Mr. Lloyd George, General Smuts, Sir Maurice Hankey, Mr. Philip Kerr and Mr. White. Mr. Bullitt handed the official text of the pro- posal to Mr. Lloyd George, who drew General Smuts's attention to its importance. Mr. Bullitt says the same afternoon he saw Mr. Balfour and was afterwards informed he thoroughly favoured the proposal. A week later, says Mr. Bullitt, Mr. Lloyd George gave Parliament and the British public to understand that he knew nothing whatever about the matter.

NDAY SEPTEMBER

A MOTHER'S VISION.

BISHOP ON LIFE AFTER

DRATH

Asevice conducted by the Bishop of London was held re- cently in Hyde Park in memory of the who have fallen in the war, It was organized by the Metropolitan Divisional Council of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers, and in addition to the 50,000, ex-service men who assembled on the Victoria Embankment and mareki ed. in procession to the Park, thousands of people word present

Dr. Ingram was assisted during the service by the Mayor of Chelsea (the Rev. R. Hudson, the Buhop's Chaplain). Prebendary Carlyle, of the Charch Aruly, and | Commisioner Napp, of the Salva- tion Army. The Mayors of Ken sington and Kennington were also present. He said that those who had lost loved ones in the war might be comforted by the fact that they had died in a noble canse and that they were with them in spirit. He told the story of a mother whom he knew well whose boy, aged 19, had been killed by falling 13,000 Feet in 8.11. air battle. On bearing the news she was broken- hearted. Suddenly she saw a bright form clothed just as her son had left her. She felt his arms round her, his lips on hers, and in a voice of indescribable tenderness he said: "No, Mum- my, I am not allowed to come back to you on earth again," and vanished. Those Visions were only very seldom vouchsafed and· faith did not depend upon them, but they enforced what they were promised, and that was that their husband, friend, or comrade was the same person-five minutes after death as he was before.

1919.

He advised them, however, to have nothing to do with those attempted communications with the dead. He believed that it was a sin to seek to know what we could not know. "Let the great scientists," he said, "let Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Conan Doyle do what they like, buť do upt let the ordinary mourner spend his hours in trying to get into communication with the A.

doad."

COST OF LIVING.

INCREASE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

According to figures supplied by the Manila Merchants' Associa- tion on fourteen of the articles which enter most largely into "Irving" in the Philippines, it appears that four of these items, flour, rice, salmon, and condensed milk, have increased in price on an average of 21400. The items just mentioned are all articles of food. A survey of the same figures shows that for nine items in the list of cotton goods and other articles of clothing, the average încrease was 1770/0.

A tabulated statement of the prices of the various article men- tioned for 1913 and the same for: 1919, together with the percent-j ages of increase follow:

The cost of boots and shoes of various kinds has increased on an áverage of 145 per cent, Cotton varns of various grades have gone up on an average of 300 per cent since 1913.

It is calcrilated that the rental on rooms and unfurnished house And the wages of house servanta have advanced 100 per cent since 1913. On the whole wages have not gone up sufficiently to offset the advance in the prices of the necessaries of life, and, as a con sequence, those entirely depen dent upon wages find themselves less satisfactorily situated that before the war. Very few how ever face serious want.
