'Several of these committees have already been shot by firing squads convictions, General Haller, commanding the Northern Polish army, said he believ- ed Russia would take the offensive again as quickly as she can re-group her armies. * "The Reds are bringing up ve- Berves," he said, "chiefly from: the border of Finland, where a substan- Bo } guard was left following the i t of peace. Further real action by the Reds will be impossible for months, but indications are that the Soviet is megrouping its armies in the interior of Russia for an offen- sive. The munitions factories in the larger Russian cities are working day and night under the direction of Ger- man foremen. Several German muni- tions experts arrived in Moscow ve- cently to speed up production. I be- Yieve the Red losses in the recent cam- paign are about 100,000. Advices from the South indicate that the Reds may try to take Lemberg. The efforts to capture that city might be considered more ds an Yttempt to restore a shat- tered morale than as part of a real aggressive movement against the Polish arnries." Warsaw is becoming normal. Those Globe-Encircling Fares Are - Double Pre-War Rate A despatch from Vancouver says:-- Steamship companies on the Pacific Coast have raised the first class fare ¥rom San Francisco, Seattle and Van- couver to Yokohoma to $300, and no reduction on round-trip tickets. Pre- vious to the war, in 1914, a fitst-class round-the-world ticket, via Suez and return by the Pacific,! or vice verso, could be purchased for $625. At pres- enh it could not be obtained for less than $1,200. eras Mrs. Lloyd George Honored.

The outcome of the it 'was said, cannot yet be determined. The Polish news of the fighting is confirmed by a- Russian communique which says: "Important rear. guard actions are in progress toward Bialy- stok and Lomza. In the neighborhood of Lemberg our forces reached Stryz. On the Crimean front the forces of General Wrangel ave being pushed southward." A news agency despatch declares that a portion of the Red troops that had been fighting the Polish at Mlawa | have been broken through and are retreating eastward rapidly. : Ossowetz, the fortress northeast of jalystok, was taken by the Poles jesday afternoon, according to a communication just issued. There are no details, The: communication adds that the Centre army is continuing its progress beyond Ostrolenka. The Polish cavalry on the southern front, after a short hand-to-hand fight, wiped out the 72nd Bolshevik brigade and made prisoners of many of the men, including the brigade chief of. staff. CANADA'S FAMOUS ARMY IS NO MORE Final Work in Connection With Our Expeditionary Force. A despatch from Ottawa says:--The Canadian Expeditionary Force is no more. The fourteen N.C.0.'s who were em= ployed to conclude the statistical work of the army have just written "80" records covering every unit and every records covering everyu nit and every man who ever domned the Canadian uniform. Just the number of records kept of every individual man would come as a surprise to even the scldiers whose records they are. The Militia Depart- ment has oniginals and duplicates of about twenty-one army forms relating to everyone who served. Asked what was going to be done with the thousands of apparently use- less books and army forms, a Militia Department official stated that they would be carefully preserved and lock- ed away. ae mai Canadian Cattle Shipped to Belgium A despatch from Ottawa says: -- About 2,000 head of Canadian cattle arrived at Antwerp a few days ago, according to word received here. The city of Paris, which is expected to complete a contract for the purchase of cattle in Canada, had two repre- sentatives on hand to examine the quality of the animals sent to Bel- gium, their condition on arrival, aud the . requirements for receiving such cargo. It is also understood by the Trade and Commerce Department here that within the past few. days retail prices of meat have fallen consider-| er! ably in Belgium: a i Food Rationing in Royal Palace A despatch from London says:-- Owing to: the continued rise in the price of foodstuffs the King is putting the Royal establishment at Balmoral on rations.

FRENCH WHEAT CROP FAR BELOW NORMAL |; Will Have to t 80,000, es. 000 Bus A despite from Paris says;--Pre- dictions of experts on the French results of the harvest in all parts. 'of France and information from other countries, show that Canada and the United States remain the only salva- tion of France and Europe. The French wheat crop will be one-fourth less than previously estimated and 78,000,000 bushels, approximately, less than the 1913 crop. The quality of the grain is below normal; the weight being 8 per cent, less than usual. The yield per acre is slightly greater than 1913, but the total aver- age is one-third less. To meet the normal demand of consumption France will have to import 80,000,000 bushels of wheat. . The Italian harvest is also disap- pointing and Italy will have to import virtually the same amount as France. England is hoping to make up the bad crops of Australia and India by the Russian negotiations and purchases in grain crop this year, based on the fist : the United States.

According to Charles Gamble, man- ager of the London branch of the Bank of Commerce, there is a very brisk demand for Canadian dollars on the part of London brokers, which marks the resumption of open trad- ing following adoption _by the Can- adian Wheat Board, As a result a steady Tise in the value of the dollar | in sterling may be expected. While the pound is being quoted in London to-day at $4.08, exchange for futures is already as low here as $3.96. This demand for dollars comes from the London grain brokers.
