portance of a spredy settlement of the dispute which is new gravely threatening peace and delaying reconstruction in South Eastern Europe.
With reference to Albania, Mr. Lloyd George
and M. Millerand express their conviction that, by a reconsideration of the Albanian Question, a settlement can be reached which will satisfy Albazira aspirations for full self-government. while taking into consideration vital interests of all concerned, including the necessity for nasuring to Jago-Slavin an outlet in the Adriatic in the region of Scutari. They are willing to urge upon the Governments concerned to bring their desires into line with the American point of view.
London, Feb. 23. The principal subject of discussion at to-day's meeting of the aupreme council was Russia. It is reliably stated that the council reviewed many questions which have arisen owing to the changed condition of affairs due to Bolshevik successes. Large quantities of food are available in Russia which are urgently needed in Europe. This formed a point for discussion, also the universal desire for the regeneration of Russia. It is confidently expected the conference will announce certain decisions at an early
moment.
LONDON, February 23. ́.
A memorial signed by General Gough, two colonels, and a number of officials of the Archangel force, was presented to Lloyd George, urging recognition of the Soviets, and pointing out the danger of a spread of Bolshevism outside Russia, and the spread of German influence in Russia antagonistic to Britain. The Daily Mail understands that Mr. Lloyd George and Signor Nitti favour the resumption of relations bet, the French are disinclined to immediate action.
LONDON, February, 24.
The Peace Conference has decided that no diplomatic relations could be resumed with Soviet Russia until she displayed ad attitude in conformity with civilisation. Meanwhile independent states bordering. on Russia are advised to abstain from attacking Russia, but are assured of Allied support if attacked by Russia.

LONDON, February 24. The Daily Mail declares that the Supreme Council has agreed to resume trade relations with Soviet Russia with important réservations and the Soviet will be asked to abandon propaganda and recognize existing loans, The Morning Post says the Allies have agreed they will not support aggressive action by Poland against the Bolsheviks, although they would support Poland, Finland, and any Baltic state in the event of a Red attack. It is stated that thus far the Allies are unanimous, including M. Millerand, who was present yesterday's council, but the real difficulty, namely, political recognition of the Soviet, remains unsolved, although Signor Nitti favours full recognition.

LONDON, Feb. 24. The Dublin corporation's action respecting the municipal services is the Sinn Feiners' sensational reply to the curfew order." The seriousness of the new situation which began yesterday may be gathered, às the deci sion apparently affects fire brigades, ambulances, etc. Publiaites apprehend that the city will become the happy huntingground of non-political burglars and footpads.
