pending conflict of Allied and German
affairs in the Thurman district, according
TO the version of a recent speech by
Premier Lcnine which has been received
here.
1.-THE English and French bourgeoisle
have spcnt enormous sums on Murman
and of course with mercenary purpose,
asserted Lenine.
"rhcy have landed troops TO protect
the Murman coast We had no proper
forces TO prevent this. The German
government demands that they be dis
armed, telling us that if we cannot defend
ourselves they will carry on the war IN
our territory.
Referring TO the Ukraine. Leninc
claimed that the Germans were met
everywhere with desperate resistance
TO the Caucasus" Lenine points out,
"the Soviet sent inquiries regarding the
new frontiers which the Caucasian Gov
ernment laid claim to, but received no
answer"
"We are not great power. OF Russia
nothing is left but Great Russia. For
us the interests of universal socialism
arc higher than national interests. For
us, little down-trodden Great Britain
stands far higher than that stupendous
great power which sold itself to the

A DROP IN CANTALOUPES.

Seford, Aug. -Cantaloupes, which
brought such good prices the early part
OF the week, took a sudden drop, Satur-
dav, at the freight yards, where the pro-
duce is bought by the fruit brokers for
shipment to the city markets They had
been selling for s275 TO s3.25 for Jum-
bocs. and 81 TO 1925 for standards. The
growers were well pleased with these prices
and were making fair profit. Saturday,
the bottom of the market dropped out
and prime stock sold-Jumboes, 81, the
highest price; standards, $1.25 70 81.
The reason for the prices taking such
q sudden drop was explained by fruit
broker, who reported that they could
not secure the necessary cars for shipping,
as they were scarce, and that they feared
that if they should get a large quantity on
hand the fruit would spoil, meaning q
heavy loss
Securing ice for packing the refrigerator
ears is another great difficulty and the
two local factories are working day and
night to supply both the fruit brokers and
the town people.
