The Roumanian victory over the Bolsheviki on the Bessarabian border - and the fact that Odessa is being re - 0 victualled, and is not being evacuated by the allies, lessen the chance for a Russian Bolsheviki union with the ex - e tremists of Hungary, who are evinc- ing a profound inclination for good re- lations with the Entente. The Roumanian armies, in co-oper- ation with the French forces at Arad (Hungary, 145 miles southeast of Budapest). have received orders to oc- cupy the new line of demarcation as fixed by the Paris conference, accord- ; ing to an announcement issued by the Roumanian Press Bureau.

BRITAIN TO PRESS BRITISH MIRE FOR OVERSEA TRADE LINKED BY PONE Will Spend $6,000,000 AnnuallyWith Propaganda Around the Globe. .A. despatch from London says:- The now Department of Overseas Trade is ready with it plan for the re- form of the consular service and. the establishment of commercial attaches, It is proposed to spend at least Li,- 000,000 annually on the consular ser- vice and nearly 4250,000 on the man thercial attaches.

The largest of these re- presents directly, or through Allted organizations, nearly 20,000 firms, with a capital of R4.000,000,000. The directors of this federation said: "We shall spend this year a third of our income and another R.20,- 000 from our reserve on the develop- inkint of British overseas trade.
