No doubt this impression is due to the tremendous stir which Mrs. Archibald Little and her "Hea- venly Foot Society" made some [decades ago. Alas Mrs. Little had to retire to England, and handed over the society to some apparently
enthusiastic Chinese. Unfortunately, after a decent intorral, they made haste to wind up the society and with it a very extensive literature which had grown up dusing the agitation.

THE NEAR EAST.
Batt
London, Sept. 25.
It is reported from Chanak that the Turks have retired on Balramich, eutside the neutral zone. It is believed the entry was ordered before the Allied fer from Pans was known.
Constantinople, Sept. 25.
The highest French authorities are convinced that the Smyrna fire cannot be attributed to the Turks. It is declared that inves- Lygations show no ground for retugtes' statements that the Turks sprinkled the streets and houses with petrol. On the contrary. preceding the fire the Armenians are alleged to have thrown bombs from houses and otherwise acted hostilely, which, it is sinisterly stated, caused repressive measures, whereof the Armenians were the principal victims.
London, Sept. 25.
Notwithstanding the feeling of relief that the crisis in the Near East has become much less, acute, owing to the. Allied agree- ment at Paris, it is clear that the public mind is rather exercised over the way in which British prestige was compromised by the Government's recent policy. Agreement with the Government's de cision to fall in line with Frane-Italian ideas in newise implies expression of a tone of friendliness.
The Westminster Gazette is particularly outspoken. It refers to a severe diplomatic setback, after talking very big. It suggests that the Allied offer might not have bean overgenerous if the Government had been quitter and more decorous.
Even papers most armpathetic to the Government find it icult to stomach some of the new decisions, but content thern- selves in the belief that the safest policy has been adopted. They stress that an essential consideration has been the preservation of Allied harmony.
The principal objection is directed against the virtual under- taking to restore East Thrace to Turkey. A proposal which is greted very warmly is entrusting the League with the maintenance of the freedom of the Straits. Gratification is expressed at the Investment in the League of increased authority. It is urged, how- ever, that the League should raise its own tropps instead, of depend-
ax upon foreign contingents.
niesing. While it is stated in some Constantinople quarters that Reports of the Kemalist recption of the Allied Note are con- It created a favourable impression, others report that the Kemalists are in an intransigeant mood and press for immediate and uncon- ditional occupation of East Thrace, also the attendance of the Russian representative at the ronference. It is anticipated that French influence will be brought to bear to induce a more tolerant attitude. The French papers are pleased at the improved situa tion in common with their British contemporaries. They warmly tribute Lord Curzon and liberally recognise the greatness of Bri- tain's action in heeding the Allies opinions.
THE REPARATIONS PROBLEM.
London, Sept. 25.
M. Bubels, Chairman of the Reparation Commission, has resigned owing to differences of view from M. Poincare as regards the moratorium to Germany.
CARPENTIER'S DEFEAT.
London, Sept. 25. Paris messages express the opinion that Carpentier threw the fight away, treating Siki as of no accoun: in the first two rounds. They think his great fighting days are over. Siki's victory was greeted with extraordinary popularity. The spectators" were most indignant at the referens decision.
