Mulhern, chief of the Intern - genes Department of West Cork, was shot dead to -day at the door of a church at Bandon, 20 miles south- west of Cork. He had left the police barracks shortly before in civilian attire and arrived at the porch of the church just as Mass commenced, nearly all of the worshippers already being in- side. He paused at the entrance, dip- ped his fingers in the font, and was killed while actually making the sign of the cross. Mulhern's assailant's were two masked men; hiding oh the porch, who suddenly fired several revolver shots at arm's length and then2 escaped. Death was instantaneous. All mem- bers of the congregation were so sor- row stricken that the service was sus- pended for an hour. "PEACETIME" WARS STILL RAGING Europe and the East Torn by Conflict. Paris, July 23,—As the danger of a new European war becomes more im- minent hourly, it is interesting to note that in this, the second year of the Versailles ecpeace," not less than ten '- wars are raging in various parts of Europe and the Near and Far East. Altogether, 4,000,000 soldiers are: engaged in these wars. This is as'. many as were at one time engaged in the great European conflict, Here is a summary of the situation, as it stands nearly two years after the signing of the armistice: Jugo-.Slavia-1,000 Italians and 90,- e, 000 Jugo-Slays are locked in intermit- 0—elee • tent hostilities. • • • • Albania -50,000 Italian invaders are Hen.

POLAND TO RECEIVE Caucasus -250,000 Russiana, 150.000 Turks, 120,000 Greeks, 80,000 British, and 00,000 French troops are fighting in various parts of that far-flung area. Syria -45,000 French are battling with Syrians. China—The country is torn by be - hellion, marked by heavy fighting, PHONING FROM SHIP TO EJ IGLAND Traveller on Atlantie. liner -Talks With Friends at Home. A despatch :from S. S. ViCtorian (bearing Imperial Press delegates to Ottawa), says:—"You are wanted on the telephone." With this astonishing request my cabin steward left me woncleeing whether I was really on a liner bound for Canada or in a lunatic asylum. I was shown the way a few minutes ago to the Victorian's Marconi apart- ments, where, sure enough, was a wireless operator wearing the familiar ear -pieces, apologizing to someone somewhere for my delay in appearing. "Chelmsford. in Essex wishes to speak to you, sir. Chelmsford is apologizing for the 600 miles between us and wishing the journalists on board a pleasant voyage." The result of the subsequent con- versation, conducted as clearly as if I were talking from room to room, is that I am able to forward for publication this message, one of the first ever spoken from a passenger ship at sea to the United Kingdom. This message was received 'at :the Marconi wireless telephone station at Chelmsford this afternoon and trans- mitted to London by ordinary tele- phone. Live Stock For Prince's Alberta Ranch A despatch from Montreal says:— Live stock for the Prince ef Wales' ranch in Alberta have arrived in Montreal on the Montcalm. The ship- ment consisted of eight fillies, eleven Dartmoor ponies, eleven colts and two pens of Suffolk chickens, These ani- mals and fowls are being shipped to the West on a special Cal', in which running water and electricity have been installed. They are in charge of the foreman of the ranch. It is stated that a number of cows will be sent from England in October. MILITARY AID Allies Arrange for Prompt Check to BolshevilKi Plans. A despatch from Paris says:—The allies have decided to take measures preparatory to giving military aid to Poland, if that should prove necessary. A French mission headed by Jules J. Jusserancl,. French Ambassador eto the United States Who is. home on. leave, with General Weygand, right- hand Man of Marshal FOCICand Vignola a close collaborator with Pre- mier Millerand, left on Thursday night for Warsaw to arrange for prompt succor to the Poles. On the seine train and with the same object there was a British mis- sion headed by Lord D'Abernon, Bri- tish Ambassador at Berlin, General Radcl'ffe and Sir Maurice Hankey. These missions, it is learned, leave with full authority to say to the Pelee that whatever aid is necessary, either military or financial, or in the nature of supplies, will be forthcoming if the Bolshevists persist in a design to march into distinctively Polish terri- tory4 It is stated unofficially, but on high authority, that this means help for Poland in the form of troops if they are required. Already a large number of allied officers and subalterns are with the Polish army, which, it is declared, will be increased according to circum- stances with as many divisions of in- fantry, tank detachments, air forces and artillery as may be transported in due time. DAMASCUS OCCUPIED BY FRENCH FORCES Reign of "King of Syria" at an End. Paris, July 25.—Damascus was to- day occupied by French troops under General Gouraud, The triumphant entry into the Syrian capital is be- liened to mark the. end of the reign of Emir Feisal as "King of Syrai" which he proclaimed himself not long after the armistice. The official communique in telling of the occupation of Damascus says the French troops defeated the Sy- rians as a reprisal for an unprovoked attack. RUSSIAN SOVIET WILLING TO MEET ALLIES IN PEACE PARLEY Ready to Sign Armistice With of Genera London, July 26,—The Russian So- viet Government has notified Great Britain that it is willing to meet the leading Allies for a peace conference in London, but as a preliminary to mach a conference it demands the sur- render of General Wrangel, the anti- Bolshevils commander In the south, under a guarantee of personal safety, Poland -- Demand Surrender 1 Wrangel. according to the Daily Mail.

GERMAN FRONTIERS CLOSED TO ALLIED TROOPS A despatch from Berlin says:—Dr. Simons, the Foreign Secretary, speak- ing before the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee of the Reichstag, declared that hi the event.the Entente eontemplated; the depsatch of troops through Ger- many for the aid of Poland, Germany i would vigorously protest. A note on the attitude of Germany, in the Russian -Polish crises was pre-, Meted at Paris on Wednesday. The German declaration of neutrality in this erisis, said the Minister, was proof that the countiey was at peAce with both Russia and -Poland and could nota • assist in the plans of the Allies for the aid of Poland. Germany, continued Dr. Simons, would protect her frontiers against the troops of both belligerents, and any forces violating this order would be disarmed. Vorwacrts says that Germany is re- infoteing her tnoores on the frontier by local defence troops and intends to guard the frontiers of the plebiscite areas with German troops to obviate the possibility of a conflict between French and Russian troops, Which might being the war to German soil. Incompleteness. —1 Few things are •finishodn and that which has attained the rounded full- ness of perfection is • not always supremely interesting. We all know. of many lives that were :cut short amid general exclamations of pity. It was said that the youth was of great .- promise, and doubtless it was true. Our human hearts have borne an al- most intolerable weight of grief for the lives of the young men -taken in the war—the young men with whom the world's destiny and the hope of the future seemed to lie. A sheer, piteous waste of man -power it was, and it robbed posterity as well as our own time. But in those lives ended SO soon there was not promise merely —there was performance. Many whose term of years has been comparatively brief have done more for the welfare of their fellows than those who spent their long, long time upon earth chief- ly in ease and self-indulgence and the • habitual avoidance of hard things, We think we see wreckage and ruin, round about us, in precious lives as in perishable material, but it is for a Power infinitely greater and higher than our own to pronounce a verdict as to what is whole and what is ing.' complete. Our knowledge is but para tial, our vision is blurred, our verdiets are qualified y our many and serious Much may have been done in what Iooks to our mortal sight like the frag- ments of a lifetime. If we cannot in our term of days have all that we desire, let us learn how much we may do with the portion that is granted in answer to our petulant requisitions. The Chinese have a proverb, "Half an orange tastes as sweet as a whole one." There is wrapped up in that aphorism a deal of wisdom. We learn, when we have little and must make much of it, how foolish we were when we had a great deal and complained. When we must ease what we have in- stead of repining for that which we have not, we develop all manner of unsuspected resources. We surprise ourselves with the discovery that we can do what heretofore was looming formidably among, the impossibilities. If the work of the world had to be done by machine and tools utterly perfect, or if society had to depend on complete and flawless individuals, the life of this planet would be at a stand- still. The responsibility for • .carrying 'forward the business and maintaining and repairing the social fabric rests With agencies and individuals far from idealnelping the beet they can. British Exceed Record in Shipbuilding A. despatch from London says:— Total tonnage now building -in the United Kingdom exceeds the amount under construction in the United States by 1,072,000 tons, according to returns published by Lloyd's Register of Shipping. The aggregate amount. now under construction in Great Bri-' tain is 3,576,000 tons—the highest am- ount ever recorded.
