IF THERE HAD BEEN NO' BOLSHEVISM Wo are told that just now we mus not talk or write about the war—then is a kind of conspiracy of "Hush," ant in some curious way (says Mr. Hugl Walpole, in the American Bookman) i docs seem that the after-war troubles o these recent years have kept us in tin war witli a kind of against-our-will dis gust. We had hoped by now to har< some perspective—wo have less than w i But perspective or no perspective can see already, I think, what wil ! always be the war's crucial moment t> myself—perhaps one of the crucia moments in the history of the worldnamely, the attempted Korniloff-Ker ensky coup d'etat in Petrograd thre< months after the first revolution. Had that coup d'etat succeeded—ant had it been properly attempted it would I am convinced, have succeeded—ther would have been no Bolshevism. All tha Russia at that moment was waiting fo was ruthless control. Korniloff coul< have given it. Ho was prevented. Lenij gave it instead. For three days in Petrograd wo knev that the attempt was coming; for thre days the whole town, knowing, eagerl; waited, panting, to consent. It di< not come.

19 INJUERD AT LONDON CUP-TIE MANY THROWN THROUGH BARRIER ON TO FIELD. GAME HELD UP. LONDON, March 12.—Nineteen spectators .were injured find many others had narrow escapes at the CujStie between Charlton and Bolton Wanderers at Charlton on Saturday. Twice during the game sections of the fencing- around the field gave way, and on each occasion hundreds of people, including woman and children, were thrown on to the pitch. Play was stopped for the injured to be medically attended. There were over 40,000 spectators, and excitement was at fever pitch. Early in the game the crowd swayed to and fro, and several yards of the fencing, collapsed. The- people lining the barrier were ■ thrown by the pressure of those behind on the field. EXCITEMENT ENDS IN A CRASH. Police rushed to the spot and ten people, mostly children, had to be medically attended. The fencing was propped up Avith timber, and the game which had been suspended, was continued. The second accident occurred after Bolton had scored the only goal of the match. Again, the crowd became greatly excited, and when Charlton made a series of attacks the people were carried away with enthusiasm. In the hope that the homo side were about to equalise, everyone leaned forward to obtain a better view of the play. The pressure on the fencing to the left of the goal caused another 20 yards of iron railing to give way, and hundreds of pepole were tin-own to the ground. STOPPED FOR TEN MINUTES. Ambulance men and police hurried to the scone, but it was some time before those underneath could bo extricated. Play was stopped for ten minutes, and there was a procession of the injured from the field. An official of the Charlton club, in an interview, said there was a record crowd of 42,033 spectators. "None of the injuries was of a serious nature, and no bones were broken," he said. "The great mass of spectators in the rear were unaware that anything untoward had happened; there was no panic." It is reported in Blenheim that a block of land on the Kaikoura Flat recently changed hands at £lO5 per acre, the deal being on a cash basis, freo of commission. Übo Nasol freely *<* fchß * fre » h l
