' ' Russia has also conquered General Wrangel, conservative leader, .. who succeeded the beaten Denikine. Rusu sia is also in control of the capital of Persia and of Batum, the great tract e port of Asia Minor, via the Black sea. It was the practical defeat, how. ever, of the Polish armies that led to the willingness of the allies to make peace and to deal commercially and ' diplomatically with Russia.

It is now "clearly seen that the whole Lloyd George-Krassin negotia tions had as their backbone ar.appro chement between Great Britain and France and Italy, instead of the ques . tion of a ; revival of commerce be tween the allies and Russia. So far as the United States is con. cerned ifnas" not been asked to par. ticipate in the proceedings between Lloyd George and Russia and Poland. In the words of one high official here, "the United States was not admitted to th innej magical circle within ,-which the European allies were bring, ing back Rvseia into the European , concert." ' , This government, h'oweyer, will not change ts view as to the, recognition r of the present government of Russia. The responsibility appears to have been accepted by the administration officials. The last official utterance of the government was a denunciation of the Russian government, , COCKNEY DIALECT TO BE ERADICATED London, July 17.

On one occasion the Albanian die . tator had lost all the available cash he happened to have with him, but continued playing "on honor" and won quite a nice pot, but he refused to rake in the money, saying: "Keep your money, old man, when I play on paper I simply play for the sport of it, and it does not count We are, quits."
