they count to keep May Day orderly.
A situation much like that which

the Boston strike was largely over

From this is deducted 8 per cent

One of the demands which the po-

there be a fat allowance of s25
francs a year for equipment. The
question of hours will also enter
into the demands of the police. Be-

University Club Meeting June IT
 The University Club meeting will be held at Whitehouse, Norfolk, on the evening of Friday, June 17th. The speakers will be Sir Paul Dukes and the president, Hon. Donald T. Warner. E
 Sir Paul Dukes is highly commend ed by S.. S.aMcClure, the speaker of last year, and will speak on. Secret Service in Red Russia. MT. Mcclure writes of Sir Paul as follows;-
 "Sir Paul Dukes is one of the most brilliant as we'll as. one of the most modest and charming young men l ever met. He was recently !Snighted for his marvellous work in Russia. Having been in that country when the bolshevists gained control of the government he became soviet off cial, and through his subsequent ex- priehces, gained a clear knowledge of the whole bolshevist. movement and the personalities of its leaders, with thorough understanding of the effect of bolshevism on the Russian people. In addition to his experi- ences in Russia, Sir Paul Dukes spent many months in the new small countries on the Russian border, and as they are constantly opposing the spread of bolshevism, he had oppor- tunities to study the subject from another angle. He is, in fact, the only man who has studied bolshevism in such a thorough manner. His knowledge is first hand and accurate.
 "Sir Paul Dukes is not only viv- i'd writer, but also a graphic and forceful speaker. In his lecture he holds the attention and interest of his audiences from his first words to the last. He has a stirring message for the whole world and he presents it with charm, virility and courage"
 The order of exercises at the meet ing is reception at o'clock, standard time. Business meeting at 6:30 o'clock and dinner at ' o'clock, fol lowed by the speaking. President Warner will act as toastmaster and there will be the usual gathering of the 200 members and their friends.
