Itis hard for them to believe that we dare to support a man of hum- ple position to assist against them, hut so it i3, and so that Man has nothing against him otherwise: we are content, and hope others may be also. But it is really that they are afraid after all that he may turn out to be ''a live wire’’, and a ‘‘very much-alive one”’ too. {he masses want a man of his kind, humble in attitude and movement but bold, and also true as steel when danger assails. Get J. ROBERTS into tane (Colonial Couneil and the Clique will have trouble. The forces have hitherto been unfavorble to the Masses, iet us iry and effect a reverse of the Siiuation.

Smyrna, Asia Minor, July 2lst —An important encircliing movement by the Greek rigii: wing is reported here, to have cut off the retreat of the Turkish Nationalists toward Angora from Esk- isheher, the railway junction port cap- tured by the Greeks in their sweeping movement on Tuesday evening. This turning movement is being carried out to the south and east ot Eskisheher, the Hskisheher defensive line at Kova- lista and Aughin, where three months ago tne Greek offensive was checked, is now declared to be completely isolated and the Turkish Nationalists within ,the area in question are considered to be vir- tually prisoners. The number of Turk- ish risoners actually in Greek hands has reazhed thirty thousand, it wasfsaid here today. Musapha Kemalpasha, the Turkish Nationalist leader, is said in Greek quarters to have escaped the en- circling movement and to be fleeing to- ward Angora. a4 L L BNI S Belfast, July 22nd.—A copy of the Irish Peace terms handed Mr. Lloyd (George yesterda' to Mr. Eamon De Val era was placed before and considered by the Ulster Cabinet today.

Judge of the Assists “ourt of Avpeai died here Thursday night. New York, July 22nd.—The raw sugar market was quieter early today, but the undertone was firm and the prices were unchange. at 3 cents for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 4.61 for centrifugals. Raw sugar futures were steadier and trading positions were 3 points higher at midday on covering and some buyii g by trade and commi sion houses. There were no transactions §in refined tutures. Loadon, July 22nd.—An indication of the improving industrial situation in Britain is furnished by the large weekly reports of the Labour Department of the Board of "rade, which shows that the number of unemployed was 100,000 less . than during the previous week. With the resumptiion of work by the miners, whose strike had a widesprzad influence upon industry and trade the business oudook is becoming brighter and it is hoped that the absorption »nf the unemployed will continue t an accelerat d rate. Every ~ffort is being made to ;regain the export coal trade, which was lost during ‘he mi- ners strike. Keen competition, both with the United States and Canada, yill have 10 be met in European Markets, for- merly dominated by the British coal trade but even the miners recognize that the recovery of the coal trade is essential for national prosperity. Paris, Jaly 22nd.—The Govt. late this evening requested the Ambassador to Great Britain to insist that the British Govt. consent to the sending of rein- forcements to Upper Silesia, and toa meeting of experts to consider the Up- per Silesian situation before the assem- biing of the Supreie Council. The Brit- ish rerly to the latest formal note of M. Briand had not been received up to a late hour tonight, and the French Govt’s act’on is declared to be based on official though unauthentic reports that the re- p'y of the British Minister would be a reaffirmation of his position that the des- paten of further troops to Upper Silesia is unnecessary, and that a meeting of the Supreme Council to discuss the Sile- sian problem should ke called in the near future. Paris, July 22nd. —The worst epedemic of typhus and cholera in history is sweep- ing westwards with terrible speed. Eu- rope today awoke to a realization that unless Russias starving millions are im- mediately relieved, the whole eastern hemisphere stands in danger of falling in a few months lin the grip of the grim plague, acecrding to an authentic appeal from Maxim Gorky, cabled to Anatole France, Gerrardt Kauptmann and Blasco Ibanez, the situation in Russia Is beyond belief. Gorky declared that 300,000 Rus- sians are dying daily from starvation and disease, from one end of Russia to the other crops are complete failures and suicide by wholesale are reportad from the Caucasus, while in Moscow and Petrograd mothers are slaying their ba- bies, rather than see them die from hun- ger. Transportation is paralized and practically all industries are closed down, owing to the feebleness of the workers. According to Vladimir Drabowitch, the famous author now fin Paris, 25,000,000 persons in the Volga district aluone, are - iikely to die of famine before winter is over, the failure of the crops being blam- ed on the prolonged drought. London, July 22nd.A meeting of the dominion premiers was called hurriedly this afternoon, it §is understood, to con- sider, a reply received from Washington today, to representations by the British Govt. relative to postponing the disarm- ament and Pacific conference to -ome later date than November 11th. ‘ue meeting was private and there has been no indications of the nature of the Wash- ington reply. London. July 23rd. The outstanding feature of the Govt’s Irish peace propo- sals to Mr. De Valera is a concession of fiscal autonomy, was stated on lkigh authority here today.
