Marconi addressing a meeting cf the Marconi Coy. said provided he had the opportunity .as he hoped, of creating a wireless telegraphic service to Australia it was quite possible ho might there after supply Mr Hughes with telephonic communication with England, hut telegraphic service must exist before thei e is a possibility of telephoning. MR HUGHES IN FRANCE. (Received This Day at 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 24. Mr Hughes on his tour through the battlefield found conditions vastly different to his previous visit, when guns were roaring and signs of destruction of men and material were everywhere. The countryside is now peaceful though battle scarred. Labour gangs - are busy reconstructing villages, though it will be many years before the nuns are completely effaced. Roads nave been the first consideration. They are in surprisingly good repair, not indicating crowding traffic of wartime. Several acres were purchased on a bill overlooking Bretonneux field with a view of erecting a monument costing £IOO,OOO. • Recent reports, however, were against the site which is unfrequented and invisible from the main road. Mr Hughes determined to see e " himself and inspected every viewpoint. He dislikes departing from the settled plan, but the weight of opinion is against the site. Mr Hughes deferred his decision. » Speaking at Bonnay, Mr Hughes said it was his privilege to unveil their noble emblem, a cross of sacrifice, to the * meirtDry of the heroes who fell m the war, a majority of whom were Australians. Coming from a distant country on a pilgrimage to the graves they would view the monuments through tears of gratitude. This significant emblem symbolised Australia’s homage to the magnificent soldiers who were among the foremost, bravest and most devoted in the titanic struggle against oppressors. Many ot them sleep heie in the soil of France, gratefully and generously consecrated in perpetuity to their memory hy the trench nation.

"* ■ The “Matin” publishes a letter written by Lenin to a friend, admitting the failure to the Communist experiment in Russia. He says:--We committed a grave error in attaching such importance to classes, and continues admitting the falsity of the Bolshevist hypothesis und lamenting the worthlessness of his entourage, declaring the strength of the Bolshevist party was diminishing daily. He concludes that he has long recognised the imminence of a compromise, and intimated to Krassin and other Bolshevik agents the necessity for entering into confidential relations to ■%Aliat end, with Russian Socialist cmiV**-
