DEFEAT IS IMMINENT British Trade Offensive Is Planned to Follow Col- lapse of Reds. A despatch from London says: -The imminent collapse of the whole Bol- shevist movement is being foretold by optimists. It is predicted that the Boisheviki will be driven to Tashkind, and thence to the borders of Afghan- istan, which development causes some anxiety here. In the meantime, all the British commercial farces are being mobilized for a great trade offensive, which is expected fruitfully to follow the Bol- shevist defeat. Under the aegis of the Oversee Trade Department of the Foreign Office a British Central Rus- sian Institute is being organized here, the object of which is said to be "the collection and dissemination of exact information about Russia. Every sort of Government hid is being given to assist British traders in meeting other countries on favorable terms on the great commercial battlefield which Russia is expected to provide. Side by side with the perpetual com- plaints that Great Britain is being left behind, in the commercial race come startling proofs of the unremit- itr energy that British manu£actur cc here all alone been quietly devot a' to meeting the demands of after e -vv.,. trade - Towns Visited in Balance off'H.R.H.'s Tour The itinerary of the Prince of Wales' tour through Ontario was as follows: Cobalt and Timmins, 1Cth; Hamil- ton, 17th and 18th; Niagara Falls, 15th and 20th; Brantford, afternoon of 20th; Guelph and Stratford, 21st; Woodstock and Chatham, 22nd; London, afternoon of 22nd to after- noon of 23rd; Windsor, 23rd and 24th; Galt, 24th; Kingston, 25th to 27th; Montreal, 27th to November 2nd; To- ronto, Nov. 2nd to 5th.

Ile pointed out that the national debt was nearly eight billion pounds.

A despatch from Rome says: - Celestine Uselli, one of the pioneers of aviation in Italy,- claims to have invented a new dirigible, 880 yard long ;and 80 yards wide, and. provide with •six motors of 500 horsepoev each, with which lee intends to fl from Rome to South America, stop ping at Dakar, West Africa. The dirigible, it is claimed by Sig nor Uselli, is capable of transporting a weight of 20 tons, and can attain a speed of 45 miles an hour with on motor; 52 miles an hour with two motors, and 72 miles an hour with al six motors working. Using one motor at once, it is said the dirigible can navigate for six days and cover more than 5,000 miles, Signor Uselll asserts the dirigible is so constructed that it can float, but he is not certain that it can weather a storm at sea. Signor Uselli expects it will take sI days to fly from Rome to South America. He will snake a, trial flight Om early part of November, TWELVE DECORATIONS Features of H. R. FL's Visit to Brantford.

This was the text of a sign which greeted the Prince of Wales at Cobalt , on Thursday; and expressed the spirit which informed the welcome extended the Prince, Thursday by the Porcupine people, At Cobalt the Royal party met with• ti welcome which was none the less genuine for the fact that nearly every- body stayed at their work and showed the Prince how the country's silver was mined.'

Need For Thrift is Imperative. Saying is not always looked upon as a saving grace. If it were, there would not be over five per cent, of the inhabitants of the United States and probably an equally large percentage of Canadians who are dependent upon public charity, During the past five years practically all commodity prices have risen steadily, yet vast sums in the aggregate are now being spent for goods that the purchasers could very well do without. The production of luxuries requires the labor of thous- ands of men and the use of capital and materiels that could be turned to bet- ter account in Producing and clistribu- tih:g noresearios. It is surely obvious that such needless expenditures fn. duenee in a marked degree the tread of prices in general. No right-thinking nation or lndivid• nal desires to become a pauper, but to avoid such a fate thrift is a prima cn- seetla]. At no other time in the his. tory of Ctired.a hoe thriftiness lieen more imperative, At nu outer time has prodigality lien so much the rule. t May be only a reactiou following the nforced frugality of the later war years.

"It is not the 'British habit," he said, in "to nag, harry, insult and trample a bleediffg foe. So long as Germany conforms to the conditions we have laid down, we must give her a clear chance to lead a decent, peaceable and honorable existence, This in the in- terests not merely of Germany, but of Great Britain and the whole world."
