Ottawa, July 25.--Dissolution of Parliament, from present indica- tions, will occur in the early part of September, with the elections on or about Monday, October Sth. The uncertain elements in the situation are as to the. length of the session, the extent t6 which Government legislation now on the stocks is pushed -forward, and -the attitude of + the Opposition in respect to it. | While the torrid heat is not an in- centive to combat or controversy, the common view is that the session may run till the beginning of Sep- tember. It is, of course, the pre- rogative of the Government to dis- solve Parliament whehever it sees Jit. The gentlemen of the Senate and Commons do npt have to be consulted, even when Parliament is in session. Future developments are so much wound up in coming and rather un- certain events that ne one can prophesy with assurance just what will happen, and particularly, when "tt will happen. Certain things, however, are clear. There is to be a reorganization of - the Cabinet. "This .wHl occur in all probability only when or immediatelys before Parliament prorogues. Some have figured it to be imminent. This can- not well be the case when so much depends jon outside gatherings for next month. The situation would be different if the organization were designed to be from within the Conservative party. This is not the plan. A Unionist Government is in view.

There is only one chance left to bring order out of chaos, and that is to drive into the hearts of the Russians London, - | appreciation of the dire necessity for United States regulars unpacking supplies and getting rea dy for their first meal at the Amerie { Note General Pershing's men 1. saving the fruits of the revolution. There is no doubt that Germany has the men and the ammunition to drive onward into Russia indefinitely against armies whjch are completely disorganized, but it is doubtful whether or not Marshal von Hinden- burg will see fit to progress to a point where the entire Russian pablie will be willing to fight. This, it is stated, would mean another Marne for the Germans, with the consequent unification of all of the _elements which are now opposed in fact and in principles. If the Germans push their offen- sive further, they will not only weak- en their position against any army | that is really able to fight, but they | will actpally have the effect of put- ting a new heart in all Russia. TRISH CONV ENTION TO FAIL. William O'Brien So Says in Letter to Lloyd George. London, July 25.--Premier Lloyd George has written a letter to Wil- liam O'Brien, leader of the Indepen- dent Nationalists, expressing regret at the unwillingness of Mr. O'Brien t6 nominate representatives of party to the Irish convention and ask- ing him to recede from his stand. Mr. O'Brien, in the course of a lengthy reply, says the type of con- vention selected defeats the object in view with fatal certainty by leaving the great mass of Irish Nationalist opinion almost wholly unrepresent- ed and by conferring the power of a majority "upon a party of politicians who have notoripusly lost the confi- dence of the Irish people--a party, moreover,whose de facto leaders have devoted all their energies for years to making conciliation, with our northern fellow-countrymen impos- sible."
