Half a million Lancarshiire cotton operatives were idle for more than three weeks. Two hundred thousand Yorkshire miners have been on strike since July 20.

These powerful unions are taking a secret ballot to decide whether they shall use the weapon of a general strike to try to enforce their political program of the nationalization of mines and railways, and to end con- and withdrawal from all participation in Russian affairs. In these circumstances words of revolution and Bolchevisml crop up in the newspapers, and are used by con- servative men to describe the present movement.

A despatch from Paris saystâ€"It is expected in French circles that the discussion of the German peace treaty 'will open about August 10th in the ‘Chamber of Deputies, and will con- tinue‘for three or four days. There will then be a three or four-day dis- cussion in the Senate. A suggestion that the French would ?ed States had acted, came from M. cuts to. Premier Clemenceau, who are considered to have political reasons , for delay. But it is generally believed ‘that M. Clemenceau will be able to ; bring about a speedy consideration. As Japan is supposed to have a copy of the treaty by this time, and. the ,Emperor’s ratification is expected at an early date, French officials are of ‘the opinion that the treaty will be- 3 come effective when the French ratify, b about August 20th. England has alâ€" ready ratified the treaty, and the sign- atures of only three great powers are necessary to make it effective. realismâ€"I1 BlitSliEVlli roads Over 5,000 Prisoners Taken by Gen.

Only one of the three was shot Thursday, though a dozen or more imembers of both races were wounded- in the scattered disturbances, most of them of a minor character. In the down-town districts a crowd of whites attacked and.- severely beat a negro who was on his way home from work.‘ The negro area remained compar-' atively quiet. The presence of the troops apparéntly had calmed the negroes’ fears, and had a salutary effect on disturbing elements among both whites and blacks. The troops were well distributed, and the military machinery was running smoothly. Many of the poorer negroes were reported in dire need of food and with~ out funds. Thursday was pay day at lthe stock yards, but negroes feared ito go there to draw their wages. E Thousands of negroes did not attempt [ to go to work all week.
