BOLlVIA's PEACE EFFORTS

Although the threatened clash be-
tween Chile and Peru has never been
entirely overcome, fighting has not
been participated in. Understanding
the frightful results of war it has
been hoped that there would be no ac-
tual test of strength regarding terri
torial lines on the west coast of South
America. For a matter of half CEN
fury the situation there has been trou-
blesome and nothing would serve to
establish the future peace in that part
of the world like the settlement of the
boundary lines in manner which
would satisfy all concerned, and in
such matter it cannot fail to be re-
allied that Bolivia must be included
it was only recently that that country
asked to De given chance to develor

There has been much concern in the

might not be "a sufficient acreage

which would prevent the production

harvest of wheat that was ever re-

Of a favorable winter and the addi-

TIE RUSSIAN SITUATION

Developments are constantly taking
pace IN Russia. Sometimes they are
10 the advantage of the opponents of
Inc oolshevik government and at
other times the Lenine forces are the
gamers. This see saw activity has
been going on for a considerable time
ana in spite of the food shortage and
the frightfulness that is practiced, or
perhaps more correctly because of it
there appears to be an extension of
the territory over which the bolsheyjk
influence holds sway.
Control over Hungary has beer
gained for the time being at least but
the conduct Of the government that
has been set up is on far differen,
lines than those followed in Russia
but close upon the change there
comes the retirement of the allied
forces from Odessa and the occupation
by the Ukrainians who are in fun I'M
derstanding with the bolshevists.

George Renwick, writing from Ber-

that it has always been strictly local.
1t is surprising how few Berlin people
have really seen anything of a struggle
which gives the newspapers of the
world such big headings Many thou
sands have never even heard shot
fired. That gives some idea of the
comparatively small hold of the dis
turbers of peace and order.
Over all. on Berlin's walls, a curious
warfare which all can see is being car
fied on. 1t is the poster battle against
! BolsheVism. The pictures are horrible

scented as a terrifying gorilla: on an

black and red, are stuck up on build

Rev. H. S. r. Gahan, the only Eng

German occupation, gave an account
OF how Miss Edith Caven met her fate
to a crowded gathering at Sion col

NAL and Continental Church society
Mr., Gahan said it was known in
secret that Miss Caveu helped 200 or
more British, French and Belgian pris-
oners to escape across the Dutch from
tier, and it was only latterly that those
concerned understood the risk they
ran.
"All who were engaged in this I'M
dertaking," said Mr.. Gahan "or most
OF them, at first were exceedingly
rash in every respect. insufficient
care was taken to avoid detection, and
the men themselves We're grossly i'm

areas in that section and the granaries
which are reported to contain large
supplies will be available for the pur-
pose of giving Russia the help which
it needs in overcoming starvation con-
ditions. 1t would thus appear that
the bolshevik government had re-
ceived great advantage from this
latest retirement. and it undoubtedly
would be so if it was in position to
operate its transportation lines on ar,
efficient basis, but with the railroad
systems able to handle only about a
quarter of the business that they
ought to because of the lack of atten-
ton and little or no inclination to re-
vive the industry of the country it is
a question just how much benefit
those who are actually suffering from
lack of food will be able to get or be
allowed to receive from the well sup
piled section of the south. While there
appears to be spreading of the Lee
nine influence. Russia is floundering
around in a hopeless chaos.
