PARIS, June 25. Minister Leygues informed the naval committee of the Chamber that he immediately acquainted M. Clemenceau with the destruction of the German Reet, demanding compensation for the French Navy, He added that the Council of Four was deliberating this claim. M. Leygues said France was determined to exact from Germany the most complete reparation for this violation of the armistice.
The American admiral. Benson supported the French view and a compromise was ultimately reached which provided that the internment should be in a British port. Great Britain was obviously not responsible in connection with the scuttling. The British naval authorities and government did not suggest the compromise, but accepted it as the best possible in the circumstances as they were much impressed by Franco- American argumenti.

CHRISTMAS,
LONDON, Eiba 25,- At a confe ence of Labour Party agents at Southport, a letter from Arthur Henderson was read, urging: then to prepare for a general elec tion. The conference decided to perfect its organisation and to be ready when the election is sprung on the country. Parliamentary lobbyists state that conservative opposition to the nationalisation of the mines is growing and that there may be a Unionist split if the Government accept the Sankey report. The Con servatives, like the Labourites, are election before talking of an Christmas. The results of the im- pending by-elections at Swansea and Bothwell," where Labourites are opposing Coalitionists, may possibly. determine the Government's indus- trial policy.
