Kurope was puzzled by the silence, throughout the week, of the soviet wireless slaliou ut Moscow, and there were conjectures that the co-operative societies might have engineered a rising against the boishi'viki.

In Italy the socialists, with the aid of the popular party, succeeded In overthrowing the ministry, and Prime Minister Nittl and his colleagues resigned.

This latter point was emphasized In a eonliiloiitlnl ca-I'legrinn from the president to Sims, il, the Pl'Tt- lols contradicted many of the assertions made by the admiral, and said the latter aspired to become a member of the Uritish admiralty and put his personal ambition before his duty to his country, his superiors and his associates.

Schools throughout the country continue to use the old map of Hungary and teachers are telling their pupils that the provinces lopped 01T by the peace treaty are only temporarily lost.

There are signs ot a new cabinet crisis. If the government falls the situation that will arise will mean a Dew deluy in signing the treaty.
