AMERICAN SENATOR WANTS NEW PRACE CONFERENCE.

LONDON, February 21. A telegram from New York says 'that Senator France introduced a resolution in the senate to convoke a new international conference. It provides for the president sending out invitations to three delegates of all the nations to meet at Washington in November for the purpose of settling worldwide reconstruction problems. The resolution apparently proposes a new peace conference and is seemingly connected with the United States opposition to granting the British dominions separate, voting power in the League of Nations and being involved in the protection of other states against aggressors.

TAXIS WILL COST YOU MORE:

LONDON, February 23. In consequence of demands by owners for higher taxicab fares, the Home Secretary has decided to sanction an all-round increase of fifty per cent. upon prewar taxicab charges from May 1. This decision cancels the war-time initial hiring charge of sixpence.
