LONDON CONFERENCE.
KEEN POLITICAL INTEREST IN FRANCE.
'PREMIER'S UNSTABLE POSITION.
LONDON, February 22. The proceedings of the Conference are being narrowly watched in Paris where preparations are already being made in political circles to overthrow M. Briand if he proves too conciliatory." The recent election' ut ex-President Poincare as President of the Senatorial and foreign committee is regarded, as significant. In this connection M. Poincare, who is a very stalwart upholder of French views, has already been marked out as successor to M. Briand. It is reported that mysterious military, confabula Bons are proceeding in Paris with a view to having everything ready against the moment for enforcing treaty rights against Germany.
GREEK QUESTIONS.
H
LONDON, February 22, The Erith, French, Italian and Japanese delegates met in conference at Downing Street this morning and exchanged views on the Treaty of Sevres. They invited the Turkish delegates to attend a meeting to morrow, but owing to the illness of Tewfik Pasha, who is contred to his bed with a chill, the Turkish proslem may not be considered before Thursday.
The Belgian General Maglinse and Colonel The unis, accompanied by Belgian delegate, attended during the conference.
a
It is understood that the Greek army will scarcely be able to under take a successful adventure in Anatolia without Allied aid, and M. Briand
is strongly averse to the removal of the Allied embargo against the Greeks
at present raising foreign loans.
SINN TEIN'S LATEST MOVE.

It appears that Dail Exeann now threatens a general boycott of British goods. It has circularised agents of British firms in Ireland advising them
