cluded decisively.
Herr Stresemann said that he hoped to sce a World Economic Conference called to discuss the removal of International Customs barriers.
Mr. Philip Snowden hoped that the Conference would make The Hague still тоге famous in the history of the progress of interna- tional peace.
German Payments
Berlin, Yesterday. For the fifth annuity year, up to July 31, under the Dawes plan, Germany transferred a total of 2,152,000,000 gold marks, including 1,102,000,000 to France, 476,000,000 to Britain, 84,000,000 to America, and 12,000,000 to Japan.
Mr. Philip, Snowden (head of the British Delegation) clearly but firmly defined the British attitude with reference to reparations, reiterating what he had declared in the House of Commons. He said that the proposed distribution of German annuities was utterly in- defensible. He desired the Confer-
ence to succeed but Great Britain could not sacrifice her national interesta.
British Objections
Old favourites came off well, for the names of Hearne of Middle- sex (who has not been heard of for some time), Whysall, Sandham, Woolley, Shepherd, A. W. Carr (the) last England skipper) and Sutcliffe occupy all places but one in the batting honours list.
Among the bowlers, the names of some of those cricketers who can

Surrey got the better of Notts; (the leaders in the championship) in the traditional match at the Oval. But 13 Notts's two nearest challengers were also checked, the rent Bridge team is still on top.
Wars of the Roses
In the latest chapter of the Wars of the Roses, Yorkshire checked Lancashire. The former remain The main British objections to fifth and the latter second, the Young scheme are:-
First.
That Great Britain loses £2,500,000 yearly compared with the Dawes scheme;
Second, Great Britain is expect ed to forgo £200,000,000 already made to America.
Third. The exclusion of Great! Britain from a share in the uncon- ditional portion of the German annuities.
The annuity averages £100,000,- 000 of which £39,000,000 must be unconditionally paid in foreign cur- rencies, the remainiler being condi- tional, namely, Germany, in order to protect her exchange may postpone for two years its payment in foreign currencies and remit its equivalent in Reichs Marks to the proposed International Bank. Urider the Young scheme, Great Britain would only be paid out a conditional por- tion of the annuity.
