PAH? British Fr 3: Empire, The Premier was dealing specific- ally with the Anglo-Japanese alliance at the time, and explaining how the conference had unandmously recogniz- ed that Japan loyaliy had carried out her obligations to Great Britain dur- ing the war in letter and in spirit. A despatch from London sayszâ€"“If the alliance with Japan could be merged into a greater understanding with Japan and the United States on all the probiems of the Pacific, that would be a great event, and it would be a. guarantee for the peace of the 'world." Thus sp-oke David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, before the House of Commons on Thursday in outlining the work of the recent con- ference of the Imperial Premiers. Mr. Lloyd George asked if it was to be suggested that Great Britain now should turn her back upon Japan with a mere thank you and good-bye. after Japanese aid had proved one of A despatch from London says:â€" Two Scottish boy scouts will shortly embark on a cruise of adventure. such as their comrades throughout the world daily dream about, for Sir Ern- est H. Shackleton, the Antarctic ex- plorer, has selected them from among 10 competitors to accompany him in his coming Antarctic expedition as cabin boys aboard his ship The Quest. The youths are Patrol Leaders J. W. S. Marr of Aberdeen, aged 19, and N. E. Mooney of Kirkwa-l-l, in the Orkâ€" ney Isl-ands, aged 17. The 10 picked applicants came to London from all parts of the United Kingdom. Sir Ernest interviewed them to ascertain their qualifications and found so much talent that he could not maike a de- cision until Thursday. Shackleton Selects Fortunate Youths as Cabin Boys on the Quest. TWO BOY SCOUTS FOR ANT ARCTIC CRUISE Young Mooney came all the way from the stormy Orkneys, a journey of 600 miles. He had never seen pas- senger railway trains before and was so confused by the big ci-ty and its strangers that Sir Ernest could not get him to talk. However, Mooney has a winning personality and knows all about boats and the sea, so does Mart. The Quest will sail at the end of this month, to be gone two or more years. King of Jugo-Slavia pay the remaining 750,000,000 gold marks for reparation due before August 31, according to semi-official statements. If the Government really has the re- paration sum, the mark will rise, otherwise speculators expect to see it fall to 100 to the dollar. QUEEN ALEXANDRA’S HEALTH CAUSES GRAVE ANXIETY A despatc'b. from Paris sayszâ€"A crisis has developed in the attack of appendicitis from which King Alexan- der of Jugoâ€"S-lavia. is suffering, in a hospital in Neuilly, which probably will necessitate an operation immedi- ately, the Charge d'AiIairas of the Ser- bian Legation here declared on Thurs- day.

It was a cardinal principle of Brit- ish policy, the Premier continued, that Great Britain should act in as comâ€" plete accord with the United States as possible. He did not know of any country in the world with whom it was more important to act in concert. He declared that the surest way to make a success of the disarmament confer- ence was first to reach an understand- ing on Pacific questions, and he hoped his view in this respect would be taken at the Washington gathering. British if, Briéain tur The Pre: Moors Reported to Have Captured Sheshuan. London, Aug. 21.â€"Th‘ere are per- sistent rumors of serious fighting in the S'hes'hu‘an district, western Spamâ€" ish Morocco, says a Tangier despa‘och to The Lond'on Times. which adds that it is impossible at present to confirm the rumors. Communications between Sheshuan and Tevtuan, 40 miles to the north, are reported cut. SPANISH FORCES IN SEVERE FIGHT A special Tangier dwpatch to the Havas Agency at Paris, forwarded to New York Saturday, reported that S‘heshman had been taken by the Djebala tribesmen. MelilI-a, Morocco, Aug. 21.â€"-â€"Mo‘ors arriving here report that the rebel- lious Moroccan tribesmen who recent- ly wrested some positions from the Spanish forces are continually fightâ€" ing among themselves over division of the loot captured, many of the Moors having been killed in the con- flicts. Spanish prisoners who have escaped from one of the Moorish camps- say the Spanish prisoners in that camp, numbering 319, received good treat- ment at the hands of the Moors, Abdul Krin, the Moorish le‘adtr, having threatened to punish disobedience of his orders in this respect with death. WHEAT PRICES DOUBLED IN PUNJAB British Forces Are Warring Against Hostile Tribes in India. London, Aug. 21.â€"â€"A Reurter deâ€" spattch from Lahore, India, say that food prices in the Province of the Punjab are creating grave anxiety and Government intervention is being solicited. Wheat prices rhave doubled in the last year and are still rising. In Simla the floods have damaged communications and in Waziristan some of the nivvers are impassable.

Meanwhile the man in the street ,is quietly confident of a successful issue to the private discussions, and The Dublin Evening Herald, comment- ing upon Lloyd George’s speech, says: “It is generally conceded that the tone was friendly,” and infers that “his attitude is not so unbendinig as not to permit of the outline of the scheme being altered or the basis changed." Dublin, Aug. 21,â€"To-m0m-ow the Dail Eireann meets in secret to evolve a reply to the Government‘s offer. In connection with this fateful session there was a conference of the Sinn Fein “Cabinet” at the Mansion House this afternoon. It is gathered that the Dail‘s secret debate on the reply may last some few days. The leaders appear to be in no hurry, and display a leisurelin- es-s which quite probably isQ induced by an expectation at some conciliatory development in the Ulster attitude, remote though this appears to be at the moment. Political gossip goes so far as to specifically mention certain members of the Ulster Calbinert as favoring a rapproachement with the South, but the rank and file of the North are aldamtanlt. PREPARE GERMANY- U.S. PEACE TREATY No Reference Made as to Who Caused the War. Berlin, Au-g. 24.â€"â€"The guilt of Ger- many in being responsible for the re« cent world conflict will have no place in the negotiationgbetween Germany and the United States for a separate peace treaty, according to a well- informed dies-patch in the Deutsvch Allbemeinee Zeitung here. The negotiations have proceeded so far that the Government is certain that it can use this argument in its efforts to overcome the political ob- jections of the opposition in the Reich- shag. “If thispoinlt is dropped, Germany will be grateful,” the German news- paper state-s. “It would send Germany into the wildest rage if it were forced again to admit guilt for the war, as in the Versailles Trea‘ty." The principal outlines of the treaty have already been agreed upon, the newspaper continues, and special com- missioners will be named to negotiate the details of the document.

IRISH EMIGRATION REVIVING AGAIN A despatch from’ London says:â€" Irish emigration, which practically ceased during the war on account of the British Government's restrictions, is now reviving, according to an 0!- ficial report just published. In 1920 the emigrants numbered 15,585, as compared with 2,975 in 1919, when the prohibition was still on. Last year’s figure, however, is only about half the pre-war rate, and this undoubtedly is partly because the "Irish Republican Government" discouraged the emigra- tion of able-bodied men. In fact, there were only 6,044 men as compared with 9,487 women. Manitoba barleyâ€"No. 3 CW, 7594c; No. 4 CW, 73%“; rejected; 69% 1; feed, 68%c.
