BOLSHEVIST DEFEAT Lettish Advance Continues. I The Lettish Press Bureau at Copen- hagen telegraphs, under Saturday's date, the Lett and Lithuanian troops have driven the Bolsheviks from the town of Aandrovsk and neighbourhood, making large captures of prisoners, guns, and other material. The advance continues with un. diminished vigour. VON DER GOLTZ AGAIN. Referring to the failure of the Ger- mans to evacuate Omrland. the Bureau gays that General Von der Goltz himself ordered the suspension of the evacuation of Mitau, and demanded the removal of Lett troops, which the Lettish Govern- ment categorically refused to accede to. The report also accuses German soldiers of continued plundering, and says that in a quarrel over the division of the booty obtained in a bank robbery at Mitau six soldiers were killed and three wounded.

—— ——— MORE COMPLAINTS. Alleged Atrocities in Hungary. VIENNA, August 29 I (received To-day). According to Vienna papers, officers of the former Szegedin Government are per- mitting dreadful atrocities in the coun- try and towns in Hungary against people suspected of Socialist and anti-Monarchial tendencies. and especially amongst the Jews. A report has been submitted to the Entente Commission.

STILL QUARRELLING. Turkish-Greco Dispute. j CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday I (Received to-day). Sinco the British Commander-in-Chief assumed command in Western Asia Minor the situation has improved and is more tranquil. Only one incident has been reported in the region between Bergama and Kamer, namely, a collision between Greek troops and the Turkish population. General Hanbury has completed the task of fixing the boundary line of the Greek area o foccupstion in the north, and is now occupied in fixing the southern limits. Efforts are being made to induce Turk- ish refugees to return to their homes, and in the Soma region these have proved to be successful, but in other places farther south people, in spite of exhortations of British oiffcers, decline to move. The Allied Mission of Inquiry into the events following the Greek military oc- cupation of the Smyrna district, has al- ready got to wor k on the spot, and the truth will, doubtless, soon be knwn re- garding the charges and recriminations brought by the Greeks agains4 a Turks. and vice versa. ifeanwhile otbing is known regarding the alleged brutal mur- dor bv Turks of a Greek scoutmaster and 20 Greek Boy Scouts at Ahhn. nor is there any confirmation of the Greek re- port of the murder by Turkish soldiers of :he head of the Greek Red Cross Mis- sion at Makri, which is not a Turkish, but a Bulgarian port. That 12 Turkish soldierb should have managed to reach Makri, west of Dedea- gntch, miles away from the Turco-Bulgar- tan frontier, is hardly conceivable. j

GOWER LINE. I Light Railway Held up j Owing to Cost. The heed of a light railway through Gower, and tho effect it would have on fruit and vegetable supplies in. Swaftsea, is again being discussed. When war broke out the project to construct a line from the L.N.W.R. at Killav, along the northern part of the peninsula, stood considerable chance of realisation, but ;ncrease in1 cost of money, materials and labour have at least j •loubled the probable outlay, which might now run into a quarter of a million ster- 1'ng. We understand that while the gentle- men who were promoting the scheme, are as concerned ae evei of its usefulnef.-San(" of its ultimate realisation, they can sep no immediate hope of its development except in the hands of the Government.

ULSTER ARMING I Carson's Danger- ous Role. I Sir Edward Carson is to address the Ulster Urjonist Council, on Tuesday, and the special correspondent of the i London "Daily News" says that the ¡ leader's admirers point out that their leader is acting in accordance with the promise made on September 28, 1814, that I when the war is over we will call our 1 Volunteers together, and we will repeal the Home Rule Bill, so far as it concerns us, in, ten minutes." At the same meet- ing Mr. Bonar Law announced, amidst deafening cheers, that the Blenheim pledge of Unionist support for Ulster I was no loftger limited by the qualifica- j rtiO lrthat tlie-Covcnaiiters policy must le j i hacked by English opinion.

I THREATENED STRIKE Right of 'Public Duties., The absence from duty, in order to fulfil "public duties," of, a local railwayman has led to friction between the South Wales and Monmouthshire District Coun-1 cil of the National Union of Railwaymen and the Taffe Vale Railway. The matter was yesterday considered by the Council, as T. C. Morris, President of the Council, and the official in question, has been suspended from duty as a result of, it is alleged, his absence on "public duties." A proposal to demand his reinstatement with the alternative of a strike in 24 hours was defeated by a small majority, and it wa3 resolved to recommend that the re- sult of the National Union's negotiations be awaited. This recommendation was endorsed by a subsequent mass meeting of railwaymen,! a resolution being passed declaring that the management had challenged the right i of workmen to fulfil civic duties. I

I BAVARIAN REVOLT. According to the "Temps" of Sun- day (received to-day), the revolt in the Palatinate, which had been expected for some days, seems to have material- ised on Saturday. Hitherto the only news available comes from Ludwigshaf en, where, be- tween midnight and one o'clock yester- day morning, a number of Herr liaase's supporters attempted to get possession of the principal post office. The Sort was frustrated by the resistance of loyal employes. About four o'clock the attack was Ie- newed with hand grenades. The lootal workers again opposed a vigorous te- sistance, but they appear to have been overcome. The chief of the post office and an employe were killed. ifhe German report adds that a -uild- 1 in is said to have been occupied by French soldiers, and that posters b,, been placarded in Ludwigshaven pro* claiming the establishment of a Pro. visional Palatinate Republic.—Reuter.

SWANSEA BAY MYSTERY. I Ship Towed Back. Conflicting stories exist in connection I with the Swansea steamer Monarch (183 tons net), which had to be brought back from Mumbles Head on Sunday by the harbour pilot cutter, on account of the vessel being abandoned by her crew. The reason for the action of the crew is not disclosed, either by the brokers or the local branch of the Sailors' and Fire- men's 'Union, but it is stated that there j is no personal grievance. j TAKEN IN TOW. I The crew consisted of the skipper, Capt. Williams, two engineers, two firemen, an able seaman, and a ship's boy, and it appears that after the vessel had arrived off the Mumbles on Saturday the firemen struck work, and were joined by the engineers, who went ashore at Mumbles. The Swansea Harbour Trust pilot cutter observed that the steamer was drifting, and therefore deemed it advisable to take her in tow, and brought her back to port. The Monarch recently went into dry dock. j NO STATEMENTS, I The Secretary of the Sailors' and Fire- men's Union, Mr. Geo. Gunning, could not give the Leader" any information regarding the men's action, but said that the master had made a statement to the Union. The brokers, Messrs. Goldberg and Co., could not give any facts of the case, be- yond that a new crew was being sought. and it was hoped the Monarch would be I able to proceed to sea on Monday evening.

TOO MUCH MONEY. I ————— ————— j Rhineland Affluent. Those who believe that Germany is bankrupt may find food for thought in a statement of the Stuttgarter Neues Tageblatt that there is so much ready money in the Rhine Provinces that the savings banks refuse to accept further deposits except at 2 per cent. interest. The chief reasons of the glut are that j the small farmers, tradesmen, and land- owners paid off their debts during the war, and practicably no mortgages now exist. The savings banks are therefore forced to place tied up money in the ordinary banks at small profit. Owing to the impossibility of launch- ing a large loan or a forced loan with any prospect of success at present, the German Government have decided upon a lottery loan of X450,000,000 at 2 per cent., with an annual series of big prizes, similar to that projected in France.
