PRINCE'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

*

BRIDGETOWN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, July 6. Details of the accident to the Prince Wales's train show that it occurred ou a sharp curve in the line where the track had been softened by the rain. The first saloon to leave the line was occupied by the Prince and members << his staff. The second saloon was occupied by the Premier, Mr. Mitchell, and the mainbers of the State Government. The train was travelling at a slow pace. The two saloons, after tearing up the track,rolled down the embank- ment on to their sides. The Prince, was chatting with Admiral Halsey and both were thrown beavily almost out of the window. All bad miraculous escapes. They were much shaken but were uninjured. The Prince calmly stayed in the coach collecting papers, and declined to leave until everybody else was out, after which he climbed actively through the roof. His appearance was signalised by heartfelt cheering.

Be accepted the decision of the Commander-in-Chief in India not to employ General Dyer further in India and it was not considered that further employment should be offered him outside India.

"Mr. Aman, who is an expert on the matter, and for many years has keenly supported. the scheme. said that, as the result of a recent interview at the Ministry of Transport, he was convinced this was a desirable time to press the matter forward.

Three members of the Chamber were appointed to con vey the petition to the Ministry..

SPA CONFERENCE.

DANGERS THREATENING GERMANY.

LONDON July 7.

A Spa communique says that the Conference met this afternoon to receive the German reply as regards the surrender of material and the reduction of effectives under the Treaty. Herr Simons repeated the extreme dificulties facing Germany is satisfying the Allies

and the dangers threatening her. Не arvertheless recognised the necessity of furnishing precise data regarding existing material and the dates од which, In the German Government's opinion, arms and effectives might be reduced to the Treaty figures. He concluded by calling on General Von Seekt, Chief of the German General Staff, to speak on this subject. General Von Seeckt handed in a detailed note as regards material. He proposed that a -proportional reduction of material and effectives be carried out within

fifteen months.^--

BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

Mr. Lloyd George, replying, described the anxiety, which existed in Germany according to the German Minister's statement-caused by the Conference. Several millions of rifles still remained in the hands, not only of the troops, but also the population. Moreover there were thousands of machine-gups, trench-mortars and gups. Over a minion soldiers were under arms under various foribs and pretexts. It was beyond comprehension that such a dangerous and abnormal situation should be tolerated by any Governe,' ment The Allies could not permit a prolongation of that situation for another fifteen months, It pst be settled by a vigorous effort in the shortest practicable time. Military, Naval, and Air experts would meet to-night to investigate the Allied and General Von. Seeckt's figures, after which the Allies would to-morrow announce their final decision.
