THE RED REPUBLIC.

Londen, Sept. 12

The Soviet's wireless appeal throughout Russia indicates a great food crisis. It declares that the daily bread problem is the most important question of the day owing to the bad harvest and it orders all workers' organisations to mobilise their forces for the purpose of obtaining foodstuffs from the rural districta.

-A telegram from Warsaw reports that a new Red general cffensive is expectable in the next few days. The Bolshevika in Volbynis have brought up ten fresh divisions and are regrouping the northern armies. A Polish communique admits that the Reds succeeded in forcing the Bog line near Kamionka and Strumilova.

Over 50 per cent of the cars priced at a rhousand dollars (about 270) were bough: by farmers. The only two ways of lowering the price of motor-cars in this country were over-production and the [cutting of profits, and both would produce the same effect on the trade-extinction.
