SETTLING THE WAR PROBLEMS.
The Eve of Important Conferences.
London, February 29.
The stage is now set for the historio Near East and Reparatione Conferences in London, which, it is hoped, will result in a settlement of the principal remaining problems arising from the war. Apart from the Belgian and Turkish Nationalist representatives, the latter of whom are on the way to London, practically all the foreign delegations have now arrived. The French representatives, headed by M. Briand and including General Gauraud, and the Italian delegation headed by Count Sforza, Foreign Minister, roached London last evening. The Turkish Government delegates and Greek delegation, loaded by the Fremier, M. Kalo- geeropoulos, are already here, while M. Venizelos has returned to London from Paris.

R. G. A. v. CLUB.
Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand had a cordial meeting at Victoria Station last evening, whon it was arranged that Mr.occupied Lloyd George, M. Briand and Count Sforza should preliminarily confer at Downing Street to-day.
The official meetings with the Greek and Turkish delegates in the historic Picture Gallery at St. James' Palace are not expected to begin before Wednesday at the earliest, in view of the necessity of the two Turkish delegations first coming to an agreement, in order that they may appear together before the Conference.
The diflculties of the Conference are exemplified by the fact that while Grecce demands that the Treaty of Sevres be not altered, France favoura a radical revision in favour of Turkey, including, it is understood, the retrocession to Turkey by Grepco of the whole of the Smyrna area, except, perhaps, the city of Smyrna, the fate, of which; it is suggested, should be determined by a pli fecite after a term of years.
With regard to the Reparations Conference, which is opening on March 1, it is emphasised from Paris that the whole of France is determined not to tolerate any furthor concession to Germany and wants all doubts removed with regard to the enforcement of penalties in the event of German default. In this connection it is suggested that instead of occupying the Rubr area in such an event, France might advance into Bavaria, and that the recent speeches of Herr von Simons in Bouth Germany, inciting resistance to the Allies' demands, are attributable to this possibility.
THE IRISH UNREST.
Thirteen Armed Men Killed.
Landon, February 20. Military Headquarters at Dublin state that a party of Hamp shires surprised a body of armed men in a house near Middleton, Co. Cork, yesterday afternoon. Two hours of fighting resulted in 13 armed men being killed, whi'st three of the wounded were captured, as also were a number of Service rifles, a quantity of ammunition
and bombs. One soldier was slightly wounded.
Wounded Soldier Removed from Hospital and Shot.
London, February 20,
It is officially stated that the Dublin police and the military raided the headquarters of the Irish Republican Army and seized important documents. After discharging revolvers and bombs at a motor-car containing a party of auxiliaries, Dublin Sinn Feiners sheltered behind women and children, fring through the living screen; consequently the auxiliaries were unable to retaliate. Sinn Feiners murdered two well-known Protestant farmers near Skibereen in the presence of their wives. Armed Sinn Feiners visited the infirmary at Cork, carried a wounded ex-soldier outside, and shot him dead.
