ORDERS FOR AUSTRALIA. “ REVOLUTIONARY BATTLE REVIEW.” (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, July 29. In connection with the Riga announcement that the Soviet has ordered a great revolutionary battle review throughout the world on August 1, an amazing letter to Bolshevik agents has been received in Australia ordering Communists to do all possible to embarrass the Government without openly opposing it, to weaken the Army and corrupt reservists and wounded pensioners, and to destroy the institutions of the bourgeois class.
