It is predicted that the Bolsheviki will dse driven to Tashkind, and thence to the borders of Afghan- istan, which development causes some anxiety here.

Every sort of Government aid 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 rommerciel race come startling proofs of the unremit- ting energy that British manufactur- ers have all along been quietly d0vot- tng to meeting the demands of after - the -war trade, SO % of Space on Liners Has Been Requisitioned Ottawa, Oct. 19. -Tho announce- ment that fifty per cent. of the space on liners of British registry has been requisitioned for November, the same as October, is increasing the difficul- ties of Canadian shipping agencies, which have demand for more commer- cial space to principal Bultish ports than they can supply.

A despatch from London says: -Up to date Canada has done some $40,- 000,000 40;000.000 worth of business with Greece. Of this sum only $10,000,000,have been financed under the Canadian Govern- ment credit to that country, the re- maining business having been done on a cash basis. Our exports have rang- ed from wheat to soldiers' housewives. The Roumanian credit is now practi- cally used up. Only about half a mil- lion dollars' worth of business has been done under the Belgian credit. Under the French credit we have done nothing at all, principally because of the prohibitive French surtaxes. There are time clauses in these contracts which terminate them at the end of the present year. It is considered doubtful whether the ,French credit will be renewed or the Belgian credit exhausted, as these countries appar- ently wish to do all their own work of reconstruction.

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 a 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. Presents of silver nug- gets at Cobalt and gold nuggets at Timmins were showered upon the Prince with warm expressions of loyalty from the miners and their families. At Timmins, New Liskeard and smaller towns along the way brief stops brought out entire com- munities to greet the Prince. At Timmins a vigorous welcome was irfaxtended by several thousand people authorities upon his arrlval here last assembled fora review of returned Thursday.

A despatch from Rome says: -- Celestine Uselli, one of the pioneers of aviation in Italy, claims to have invented a new dirigible, 380 yards long and 80 yards wide, and provided with six motors of 500 horsepower each, with which he intends to fly 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 one motor, 52 miles an hour with two motors, and 72 miles an hour with all 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 Uselli 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 six days to fly from Rome to South. America. He will make a trial flight the early part of November.

This in the in- terests not merely of Germany, but of Great Britain and the whole world."
