This As- sociation 1Sknown as ‘‘The Corporative Association of the Bethlehem Conecern’’, and has as its purpose the importation and distribution of fosdstuffs. etc., at a trifle above cost, to its members. It is said that merchants here have already seen the good this Association will be to the members and the loss of business to them thereby, have offered to seil goods to the Association at a much lower figure than they sell otherwise. This ST S Bl X &N J-3 is the only effective answer to the Wigh cost of living; and if every section of this community, Ulerks, Policemen, etc—- would form themselves into similar As- sociations, it luoks very much as if a stop could be put to unnecessary high prices. West End News, Aug. sth. TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIX STA {ION. Belfast, Aug. 2nd.-—Political gather- ings' have been banned by Cardinal Logue in the arch-diocese of Armagh on August 15 h, the date of the Feast™f the Assumption. The Cardinal says in his proclamation: - ‘‘From day to day things are going from bad to worse, destruction nf life "and property, repression -and retaliation, the sacking of towns by the armed foreces of the Crown, and to com- plete our misery, outbursts of sectarian strife, vesulting in the loss of “many use- ful lives. From recent onccurrences it appears that éven the House of God is not spared from sacrilegious outrages and destruction, by the shedding of human blood within the sacred pre- cinets’’. London,; Aug. 3rd.—The duties of the Crown tribunals in Ireland will be taken over by courts martial, even to the extent of the settling of civil disputes, the inflic- tion of fines, and the binding over of ac- cused persons to keep the peace, under the terms of the new Irish Bill which was made publie this morning. The military courts will also~ take over the duties of coroners, and will have the power to decide cases without a jury. In trials for crimes punishable by death, however, one person, whe need not be an officer, shall sit as one of the judges. He must be appointed by the Viceroy from a list approved by the Lord Chaneeiior of Ire- land, or the Lord Chief Justice of Eng- land. The courts will be given power to compel witnesses to attend hearings, and enforce orders for presentations of docu- ments. Persons convicted by them may be imprisoned in any part of Great Bri- tain. The Bill makes no provisions for the excluding of Ulster from the work- ing of the law, by stipulating that it shail be effective in the whole or any part of Ireland. Vienna; Aug. Znd.—Rumania has serv- ed an ultimatum upon Soviet Russia, giving the Soviets three days to with- draw their troops from Rumanian terri- tory, according to a Belgrade despatch received here today.

Warsaw, Aug. 3rd.—Dßrest-Litovsk, the last great fortress guarding Warsaw from the east, has apparently fallen before the tremendous assauit by the Russian Bolsheviki. North of that place the Soviet forces have smashed their way forward in their drive westward to a point only sixty miles east of this city, over a front of 20 miles. The Polish forces are being pounded to piee- es before the rush of the Bolsheviki soldiers, which are being hurled into battle. in a desperate attempi to cap- ture Warsaw before the conclusion of an armistiee conference at Kobryn. .Reinforcements are everywhere being hurried to the front by the Russians to complete the defeat of the Poles be- fore hostilities are halted. New York, Aug. 3rd.—The news from Poland caused the sharpest break in ma- ny months, today, in .the Foreign Ex- change market. London, Aug. 3rd.—Further troubles in Mesopotamia are reported by the War Office :oday, A strong British column on the Lower Euphrates was attacked and roughly handled by the Tribesmen, but succeeded in cutting its way back to the hills, near the site of anecient Baby- lon, after sustaining three hundred casualties, and the loss of one gun and twelve machine-gans. ; ' -NEW YORK, Aug. 3rd 1920.
