japanese leaders have almost ceased
to hope for settlement of the i'm
migration dispute while the present
administration is In power, and their
chances foI favorable action under the

lowing up the declarations made by

The PolIsh-RuSsian peace confer
ence opened In Riga. but II was sur
rounded by an atmosphere of gloom
and the prediction was made freely
that the results will be nil. Each side
diStrusts the other, and on certain
questions II seems impossible for them
TO get together. One of these is Ukrai-
mia. which the Reds assert is already
In favor of soviet rule.

Military operations against the So
Wet forces went right along. and
their enemies scored several decided
victories. The united Polish Ukrainian
front east of Lemberg was moving
forward at the rate of fifteen miles
Il day and had reached Rovno and
Kamenets PodOlsk, ana the Ukrainian
cavalry had occupied the latter i'm
pOrtant city. In the Grodno region

so far the British authorities have not
been able to control. The Sim Fem

the police In reprlsai XIII the Sim

towns. The most startling OF these
occurrences was the raid last week on
