A despatch from London says:-^ Unless tlie unforeseen should inter- fere with Lord Rawlinson's plans, evacuation of the British forces from Archangel shouM be completed by the end of the month, Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice says in the Daily News. It will then remain to look after the withdrawal from Murmansk, which is much the simpler problem of the two. He adds that the "immediate aban- donment of the Russian adventure is simply not possible unless the Allied powers agree to come to terms with the Bolsheviks." It seems possible since they have lost the com country of Ukraine, that the Bolsheviks may be reduced to extremities by cold and hunger. Gen. Maurice says that, short of some such development on which there are no solid reasons for count- ing, there is no probability of obtain- ing a settlement in Russia by present methods within the next six months. "Tliat is where we stand to-day," ha says finally.

One example of this business fore- sight is seen in the arranjjement I which, it is reported, has been made ' with the German Government. By this agreement Germany is expected to take 50 per cent, of British manufac- turiis along with quantities of raw materials. What big business is doing to per- e communication is further the scheme of the Federabion of British Industries to have trade consuls at the world's chief trade centres â- who will keep Britain inform- ed on market conditions. $2,500,000 worth of traffic. In 1912, 1913, and 1914, and up to date, there were further grave troubles. This year has been one of ceaseless unrest in the radlway -world. In Janu- ary there was a dispute on the Lon- don, Brighton & South Coast Railway, involving 2,000 workers, and trouble on the District Railway affecting 500 men. Demands were conceded. There was a lightning strike on the London & Southwestern Railway in .'August, swiftly followed by aiv-unoffi- cial strike of the motormen on the City & South London Electric, but both these sectional attempts col- lapsed.
