(Continued from page 3) THE ADRIATIC
London, Feb. 7. The first of the Adriatic correspondence is published. In reply to President Wilson's last note, Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand withdrew the proposals made on Dec. and Jan, 20, and invite Wilson to join them in urging the Italian and Jugo Slar Governments to negotiate a mutual agreement on the basis of the withdrawal of all previous proposals. If this proposal fails the United States, Britain and France should again con sider the question in common as regards the Treaty of London. The reply says the Italian Government has co- operated most loyally and assiduously with the French and British Governments with a view to replacing the Treaty of London by a settlement satisfactory alike to it and to Jugo Slavia. All the Allies cordially hope such an agreement will be reached but they cannot disguise the Ixct that should po auch voluntary agreement be reached the Treaty of London would then become the only valid conclusion as far as they are concerned.
The reply emphasises the urgent importance of a speedy settlement of the dispute which is now gravely threatening the peace and delaying the re-construction of South-Eastern Europe. With reference to Albania Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand express the conviction that by a reconsidera- tion of the Albanian question a settlement can be resched which will satisfy Albanian aspirations for full self-government while taking into consideration the vital interests bf all con- cerned, including the necessity for assuring Jugo Slavia an cuties in the Adriatic in the region of Scutari. They were willing to urge upon the governments concerned to bring their desires into line with the American point of view.
CHEAPER LIVING.
London, Feb. 26. The Express features a new plan for cheaper living. The problem must be tackled from three directions, re- adjustment of American exchange. drastic-reduction-of--hip- ping freights, and the reopening of unrestricted trade with Russia. It points out that the gold reserves held by the banks total £170,000,000 while financiers declare that sending America £30,000,000 in gold would rectify the exchange. The Love M ment declare this impossible. The "Express" urges it is sendable immediately if Britishers in return for Government hands would lend the State gold trinkets, ete, returnabl when ourmal gold reserves were re-established.

At the Lunual meeting of the chamber of shipping, the newly elected President, Mr. W. Noble, scathingly criticised state control as extravagant and wasteful it destroyed initiative and had been a huge failure Nationalisation of shipping was a sure road to bankruptcy. Owing to the congestion of ports and the break down of land trampert, maty steamers were only doing half their pre-war work. was a fact that trades and industries wajch had been de controlled were already recovering whereas those still in the grip of the State were going from bad to worse. With more shipping than we possessed in August 1914 we were only carrying half the value of trade carried in 1912. Mr. Neble said he had fall faith in the Britisher as a shipbuilder and shipowner but the present policy of the United States ship- ping board and also our own Dominions, especially Australia and Canada, was unfair competition. Their policy appeared to be to build up a mercantile marine at any cost relying on the national purse to nicke good any deficiency.
IRELANDE WOES.
London, Feb. 26. The delegation of Parliamentary Labourites, which re- cently carried out a short tour of investigation in Ireland, reports, denouncing the military administration in Southern Ireland. It condemns the deplorably frequen: shootings of policemen and similar outrages but declares they are not u part of any political organisation's programme. The Report concludes that no improvement can be expected until the problem of Ireland's political aspirations is solved.
A band of armed men, estimated at from 40 to 50, at midnight yesterday attacked the Constabulary barracks ot Timoleague, County Cork. They eraplayed firearms and bombe And the fight lasted four hours. None of the garrison was injured. This morning three dead assailants were found close to the barracks, also one severely injured, who said that seven wounded had been removed. The swanlt was carried out with the usual preliminaries of read blocking and telegraph wire cutting. The barracks adjoin the station and the assailants used the mail wagons as armoured cars, which wefe found to day riddled with bullet holes.
ARMENIAN MASSACRES.
London, Feb. 25.
In the House of Lords, replying to Viscount Bryce, the Earl of Crawford, stated that the Allied High Commissioners at Constantinople had received no details of Armenian massacres in Galicia though there were many rumours, Nam- bers had been killed on both sides. The Government was informed that the French had inflicted heavy losses on Turkish - irregulars. Generals Marash and Couraud had sent important reinforcements which it was hoped would be sufficient to control the situation. The whole mätter was being discussed by the Supreme Council who were fully alive to the gravity of the situation.
