The Bolsheviks have again tried to • intimidate Poland into
making peace with them by attacking her troops on the frontier. The Bolshevik offensive was checked with considerable loss. The Poles are naturally desirous of peace, but are rightly auspicious of the designs of the Moscow despots. It is reported that the Bolsheviks have come to terms with. Lithuania. In the Ukraine, on the other hand, the people have again revolted against' Bolshevik rule. General Wrangel,• who has succeeded to the command of General Denikin's pathetic remnant, is still holding the Crimea- against the " Reds." The Bolshevik trade mission, on. its way to Western . Europe, lingers in Scandinavia. Meanwhile the pretence that the mission repre- sents the Russian Co-operative Societies must be abandoned. For Lenin has decreed the extinction of these Societies. He can brook no.eivals, however humble or useful,. to his tyranny.
