EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

RUSSO-POLISH WAR.

Warsaw, Aug. 27. A communique from Eastern Galicia states that the Poles are (pursuing the Bolshevika, South of the Daiester they repulsed. surrounded or captured the Bolsheviks reaching the right bank: The Poles captured an entire brigade of four thousand in the region of Horodenka

Constantinople reports that Wrangel's southern army has won a great victory north of Taurida Province, capturing numerous pri- sonsers and considerable booty, Wrangel reporta that he has captured Novorrosiak and Ekaterinodar.

Reater learns that a number of Chinese, officials of the Russian army in Poland, are reported to have committed suicide.

London, Aug. 27. The Folish occupation of Ossowiec is regarded as a proof of the absolute damoralisation of the Reds in the northern sector. It will be remembered that during the war all the German attacks failed against these forts which are surrounded by morasses.

The extent of the Bolshevik defeat may be gauged from the fact that it is estimated that the Poles have captured two-thirds of the Bolshevik guns.

Three divisions of this Army have surrendered with their divisional staffs and also the Fourth Army's staff while two divisions and a cavalry corps are now aurrounded eastward of the Vistula. Further Polish troops have arrived at Strasbourg and Soldan, fically closing the last loophole nt escape of the Red right wing. The main Polish blow, under Preto sident Pilsudski's personal direction, operating northwards between Ivangorod and Cholm, was a complete surprise.

THE US. PRESIDENCY.

New York, Aug. 26.

A sensation has been created in the United States by Governor Cox's charges against the Republicans regarding the raising of campaign funda. Speaking at Princeton, Indiana. Governor Cox alleged that fabulous sums were being contributed to the Republican cause by selish and greedy interests. His chief äim would be to expose the Senatorial plot.

Chicago, Aug. 25.

The Congressional Committee investigating campaign expenditure has summoned the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic cars paign committees. A telegram has been sent to Governor Cox inviting him to submit evidence in support of his charge that the Republicans raised a campaign fund of fiftten millions to farther Senator Harding's election.

London, Aug. 27.

Sir Auckland C. Geddes describes as perfectly absurd a repor that the seven thousand pounds voted by the House of Commons to him for entertainment purposes was really intended for the Democratic party funds and will be shortly increased ten fold.

BIG AMERICAN FAILURE.

Philadelphia, Aug. 28.

A receiver has been appointed for the Bethlehem. Motors | Corporation." The assets are four million nine hundred thousand dollars and the liabilities three million. The difficulties are due to insufficient working capital.

GERMANY'S COAL OBLIGATIONS.

Berlin, Aug. 24. A message from Esson says it is understood that obligatory deliveries of coal to the Entente by the Rhenisch and Westfalischen mines in the middle of August almost reached the stipalated quantity and are being maintained at this level.

JAPAN'S REPRESENTATIVES ABROAD.

London, Aug. 26. Rear-Admiral, Jida has left London for Tokio. The Times correspondent at Paris states that Ambassador Matani will reaigs in a month, Baron Ishil will succeed him. Baron Matsui's services and personality are highly tributed.

MR. GLADSTONE'S "SPIRIT, **

Two of the replies, which bear upon the supposed spirit photo- graph of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. taken at Crewe last year by the Rev. Walter Wynn, and about which there has been endless con- troversy, provide in themselves the answer to the question of where we stand with regard to Spiritualiam to-day-

Viscount Gladstone.--On the photographs in question. I make two observations. The photo- graph of my mother is most certainly not a photograph of her. Is does not bear the slightest re- semblance. Examination through
