The league council decided to limit
the scope Of policing operations to the
Wilma region and to keep the league
'army" down to 1900 men. OF these
Spain will supply 300, Sweden 100,
France at least 1000, and Great Brit
ain and Belgium small detachments.
Holland and Switzerland refused to
participate.
Peace negotiations between Poland
and soviet Russia were resumed after
lapse that threatened the renewal
Of active hOstilities. The Poles. how.
ever. consented to withdraw their
troops to the armistice line. Moscow
notified Lithuania that the Red forces
would have to occupy wilma, which is
still in the hands of General Zellgou-
ski. The soviet government has now
pretty nearly cleared Russia of all
It's active opponents. Petlura's troops
raine into Poland and have been dis
armed there. and now it is announced
that General Semenoff's campaign in
Siberia has collapsed entirely. His
last base has been taken by the Reds,
the corps that was defending it hav-
ing mutinied, killed its officers and
joined the Bolsheviki. Semenoff him
self has fled to Japan.
Unless the temper Of the Greek PEG.
pie changes, they will vote, on Decem-
Der 5, for the return Of Constantine
to the throne. This will be the logi-
cal outcome Of the victory of Gounaris
and Rhallis in the election. However,
the new government Is placed in a
somewhat uncomfortable position, for
to restore the ex-king will be to alien
ate France and possibly Great Brit
ain. The former has warned Greece
that it will withdraw it's material and
moral support, but it is not known
certainly what attitude Lloyd George
will assume. The Greek newspapers
favorable to Constantine assert that
Great Britain Is willing to recognize
the right of Greece to manage her
own affairs and that King George is
in constant communication with Con-
stantine and has assented to his re-
turn to the throne.
OF course. Rhallis and his cOnfreres
are most worried over the possible eff
feet of the restoration on Greece's
adventure in Asia Minor. They can
hardly hope to maintain their army
there against the Turkish nationalist
and the Arabs without the active co.
operation of the entente allies. and,
too, they rely on the British to sup
ply the money needed for the Occup;,-
ton. 1t is said by them that veniz-

ace. The same day the foreign news
paper correspondents made formal
complaint that the press censorship
was being continued and that their
dispatches We're suppressed or de-
layed. Rhallis and Gounaris made ex-
plantations and promised all restric-
tons should be removed.
Paris had press dispatches from
Smyrna saying the Greek army in
Asia Minor was split into two camps,
one for and one against Constantine
and that fighting between them al
ready had broken out. Some of the
troops were said to be demobilizing
themselves. declaring they were done
with the war against the Turks.
Sunday, November p, was day of
blOodshed and terror in Dublin. The
Sim Fein assassins early in the day
put into execution deliberate plan
OF murder. calling IA British officers
or former officers to their doors and
shooting them dead. About sixty 9th
ers were wounded in these attacks.
The black and tans got into action
at once. making many arrests. Then
they forcibly entered Croke park.
