The expulsion of Zinovieff by the Central Committee of the Com munist Party in Russia a few weeks go was, it appears, the symptom of deep disorders within the Soviet Connells.

This morning neither the.de- fendant nor his legal representa- tive were present and the case was continued ex-parte.
His Lordship remarked that there were two questions at issue whether the defendant was head of the Associations,
and the amount recoverable.
Mr. McCallum replied that the claims were alternative. The one was for damages for breach of trust, and also, in the alternative, for money paid to the defendant for a consideration which failed.
His Lordship remarked that he thought the amount would be the same, under whichever 'heading it was claimed.-
Evidence was given by the plain-. tiff as to paying subscriptions to the defendant and receiving a book from him, but he said he had not brought his account of the money. paid with him.
Referring to a question of tenders which arose, Mr. McCallum explained that when a member made a tender, that tender was the amount of interest he was prepared- to pay to each undrawh member. If a man made a tender of $1, it meant to say he was prepared to pay $1 interest to every undrawn member. Therefore while an un- drawn member's subscription was actually $5, he would retain`$1 in- torest. All drawn members had to pay the full $5.
His Lordship: I take it this is really a test case?
Mr. McCallum replied that it was, as far as whether the trusted was liable for the actual money paid in. by an undrawn member plus the ins terest, or whether was only liable. for the actual money paid in by the member.
His Lordship:-That point is being decided for the first time. It is a caso as to whether the de- fendant is in fact the founder
Mr. McCallum:-That is a ques tion of evidence, my Lord.
Remarking that there might be. other interesta involved in the de- clsion, his Lordship adjourned the case until Saturday in Chambera for a date to be fixed, and for the plaintiff's books, with a certified translation, to be brought before him.

SEVERE BLOW TO SOVIET.
The Daily Mail's Riga corrès- pondent says that Dzorjinsky's death is a severe blow to the Soviet, t because he was the controller of es- pionage recording the daily life and actions of everyone in Russia, re- porting criticisms of the Soviet and its agents whereby he was the reat master of Russia after Lenin's death and enjoyed much power.
