Definite announcement on the con- ference membership was made on Fri- hy at the White House, and at the game time all speculation on delegates was ended by the naming of the form- at Secretary of State and the Demo- cratic leader in the Senate.

Col.

He has about 80 head of the best Jersey cows in a wide district, famous for this par- ticular breed. He also owns other stock of high pedigree. London, Sept. 11.â€"The News of the World, the London weekly, owned by Lord Rivdvdell, who is a. close friend of Lloyd George, to-d'ay stated that in Sinn Fein circles it is reported the Irish plenipot-entiaries who will meet the Cabinet at Inverness will make three fundamental proposals as a basis of an Angloâ€"Irish treaty: (1) Renuneiation by Britain of the (claim to legislate for Ireland, thus giving full Dominion status. Inci- dentally, this would put Ireland where she was in 1782. (2) An agreement by Ireland to act in association with the nations of the British system. (3) An agreement by Ireland to con- cede to Northeast Ulster the powers and privileges conferred by the Home Rule Act, reserving ~pessiny fuller powers to the National Parliament. COL.

It is stated these terms will ‘be in the hands of the Prime Minister on Thursday. The Daily Telegraph’s Dublin cor- respondent states that there is a growing feeling in Dublin that the Sinn Fein will accept the Premier’s invitation to a conference in Inierness, saying public opinion is unanimously favorable. As yet there is no word of the official reply to Lloyd George’s letter. “Irish freedom is coming, not be- cause of any action of our enemies, but because of the strength of our own position. It: is coming because of men who are still prepared to die for Ire-land. We will not stop till Irish freed-om is’é’écured.” London, Sept.' 11.â€"â€"Sir Ernest Shackleton in his two-hundredi-ton ship, Quest, sails from London next Saturday on a thirty-thousand mile trip to carry out his hydrographical survey of the Antarctic and South Pa- cific Oceans. The voyage is screduled to last two or three years. Laborator- ies have been built above and1 below decks and platforms have been erected from which soundings up to thirty- thousand feet can be taken. Besides a kite balloon, the~ Quest will also be equiped with a seaplane, while a powerful Wire-less equipment will make it possible for the explorer to be for some time in contact with the world at large, but there will be a long time, it is expected, when the Quest will be out of Wireless touch.

Officials of the Canadian National Railway declared that the movement of grain over their lines was 10 days ahead of last year, and very heavy for this season. A despatch from Winnipeg says:â€" All previous recor‘ds for volume and 'early shipnient of grain over the Can- adian Pacific Railway’s Western lines have been shattered this season, offi- cials of the company state. 2 Over Eight Million Bushels Already Shipped from the West. The note makes various suggestions of changes in the terms of the Turkish mandates, some of them being that consular tribunals, under capitulations from the powers, shall remain in force until the Governments are organized under mandates, and that if the man- dates are surrendered, the consular tribunals shall be restored. EARLY AND HEAVY GRAIN MOVEMENT That a president of the United States cannot alone, under the constiâ€" tution, bind his Government on a question of mandates is brought out briefly in one of the paragraphs of the last United States’ note on man- dates, copies of which are circulating among the delegates of the Assembly of the League of Nations here. The note is dated August 8, and is addres- sed to the French Government. LGRD ROBERT CECIL CRE’E‘ECHZES ARMED LANDS IN LEAfiUE MEETING Hjalmer Branbing, of Sweden, aic- cused the Council and the secretariat of the League of pagtiality and exâ€" travagance. Lord Robert Ce-cil, repreâ€" senting South Africa, defended both the Council and the Secretariat. Lord Robert was very severe, however, about the countries which, according to 'statisbizcs, are .spending about 20 per cent. of their energies on arma- ments and at, the same time complainâ€" ing of instability and a bad trade situation. Geneva, Sept. 8.â€"The Council of’the League of Nations, the United States, mandatory powers and countries that are continuing to arm came in for trenchant criticism in the first day’s dgbate in the Assembly of the League of Nations, on the work done by the Council of the League. Lord Robert’s address seemingly made a great impression on the memâ€" bers of the Assembly. Ireland Request is made in the note that Sure, he’s a fine creature, de Valera.

City officials and several Mexican societies that are co-operating with civil authocrities in the succoring of thousands of homeless, gave out statements estimating that the total death toll will range between 400 and 500 persons. San Antonio, Tex-as, Sept. 11.â€" This city’s list of known dead from the flood which swept over it early Saturday morning, to-day jumped to 45, with the finding of ten additional bodies under piles of debris in the heart of the business section. Thousands Rendered Home- less and Total Death Toll Probably 400. MANY LIVES LOST IN TEXAS FLOOD The method of election is now being studied and probably will be public. The Assembly and Council, it is under- stood, will hold elections consecutively, after which the lists chosen ‘by each body will be compared, and a new elec- tion held for the seats not provided for by both bodies, at the first elecâ€" tion. John B‘gasssett Moore, who is now in the United States, is the most often named as the United States represen- tative. The four principal powersâ€"Great Britain, France, Italy and Japanâ€"are conceded one each by election fore- casters. Also it is generally conceded that one of them will come from the United States and one from Holland. The difficulty of placing the other five in order to satisfy all aspirations is becoming apparent. ' League leaders aim to give all- round satisfaction to the nations of the world, which raises the difficulty in their object of giving one seat to Scandinavia, one to the Slav countries, one to the British Dominions, and one to German-speaking countries. This leaves only one for South America. Elerctioneering for the eleven judges of the International Court created by the League of Nations already has be- gun and is developing considerable ardor. This is particularly true among the South American .delega- tions, which, basing their claims on their numerical strength in the League, are asking for four judges. ~‘ the freedom given to religion also shall be extended to educational and charitable organization WOrkers, not only those in the territories at pres- ent, but those who may'go there in the future. .de easxer ation of CI on of crirr ime suspects and duals is expected der the new sys- Claimed as the largest watch in 1: world, a timepiece recently exhibi in London was 17 inches in diamete: and 53 inches round.
