..U. B. A. AND THE TREATY.
KILLING THE LEAGUE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. From the moment the closure was declared, the Republican majority in the Senate overrode all opposition. The Senate up to
now has adopted all but two of the Foreign Relations Committee's reservations, including the reservation to the United States of the right to increase her armaments without the consent of the Council of the League of Nations whenever the United States is threatened by invasion cr engaged in war; also the right to permit nationals of a covenant-breaking state residing outside that state to trade with nationals of the United States. The Democrats have called a conference of friends of the treaty early next week, with a view to finding a compromise.
SHANTUNG RESERVATION.
WASHINGTON, November 16.
The Fukien tuchlin wants, the Government to protest against the Japanese outrage at Foochow..
The Government is sending a special Commissioner to see if it is true that opium is again being plant- ed in Shensi and Hanan.
A railway collision took place at Tai-min on the Tientsin-Pukow line on November 17. Many passengers were seriously hurt, and both trains badly damaged.
A Foochow mass meeting has demanded the dismissal of the Japanese Consul there, a Japanese apology to China, payment of indem niry, and punishment of the shooters.
OUR LOCAL POETS.
The Senate has adopted a reservation withholding the assent of the United States to the Shantung arrangement; also a reservation giving the Congress authority to regulate the appointment of American delegates to the League of Nations and international commissions; and a reservation declaring that the United States alone shall interpret the Monroe Doctrine THE LAIRD " CHEUNG CHAU. which is wholly outside the jurisdiction of the League of Nations.

The illness of President Wilson at this critical period increases the difficulty of forecasting any aclution.

DEEP SNOW IN PARIS,
AFFECTS ELECTIONS.
LONDON, November 16. "Ten inches of snow has fallen in Paris and is likely considerably to interfere with the elections, wherein there are over 2,000 candidates, includ- ing 431 ex-deputies. The new Chamber will consist of 626 deputies, com. pared with 602 previously, owing to Alsace Lorraine nominating 24. Only 616 deputies will be elected to-day, as the elections for the colonies are fixed for November 30.
POLICY 'IN RUBBIÄ.
PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE.
LONDON, Nov. 17.
In the House of Commons, opening a debate on Russia, Sir Donald Maclean urged that Russia should be left to work out her own salvation. He declared that the policy of intervention had failed. The Bolshevists were stronger than ever. He opined that a spirit of resentment of foreign interference was awakening in Russia and that our policy should be devised accordingly. He emphasised the question of our future in India and the East, which depended largely upon our being able to pursue our mission there peacefully.

KEITH WEST.
ALLEGED ROBBER
ARRESTED.
Lord Robert Cecil said it would be difficult to exaggreate the gravity of the international situation in Europe at present. The reservations of the United States Senate, which were provisionally accepted, were so extensive as almost to amount to a United States repudiation of the Covenant, which also meant a repudiation of the peace treaty. The position was most grave but whatever happened the League must continue, even though the United States decided not to participate.

Col, John Ward said he concluded that Britain went to Russia for her own purposes and thereby saved the lives of perhaps hundreds of thousands of our own men. Our sole aim in going to Russia was to save our men and we made promises. Accordingly, therefore we ought not now to re- pudiate them.
His Woralip remanded the case.
