GENERAL CABLES.

By Teleeropli.—Press Assn.—Copyright, The Paris newspapers continue hostile criticism of Britain's renunciation of reprisals against Germany. Gustavo Herve says it is no longer a question of sentiment and urges France to imitate England. The Petit Parisienne says that the other Allies will be compelled to follow Britain, otherwise they will be forced from the German market. The Bolsheviks claim that they crossed the Dnieper in the Rikopol region and that fighting is proceeding. Commander J. L. Cope has announced that the British Imperial Polar expedition to the Antarctic will leave Norfolk (Virginia) for Monte Video on October 29, going thence to Wellington. The expedition will particularly study the Influence of Anturtic conditions upon Australia and South Africa.

The Echo de Paris reports that there is martial law in Moscow and that wholesale arrests of Wrangel's partisans have been ordered.

Sylvia Pankhurst, who was arrested on October 19, on a charge of seditious publications in the Workers' Dreadnought, has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the second division. According to the evidence an article in the Workers' Dreadnought called the masses to revolt or destroy Parliament, which should be turned into a storehouse for manure.
