OCCUPATION OF THE RHUR PROBABLE.

LONDON, April 28.. The new German proposals in the first place are not, fully comprehen. sible in British official circles owing to obscurity. They are now regarded merely as a clumsy rehash of the London proposals. Therefore they are not acceptable. According to a Washington message the State Department is awaiting receipt of an indication of the Allies' atutude towards the German proposals before replying to Berlin. A Paris message states that the French Government has asked the Government for an assurance that it will not deliver the German note without the approval of the Allies, adding that i the proposals are not acceptable to France and that occupation of the Rahr region becomes more and more probable but cannot be carried out for a week after it is decided on in agreement.

LONDON, April 28.

In the House of Commons, Lieut. Comadr. Hilton Young, replying to Mr Hogge, said that the 152 miliard gold marks fixed by the Reparations Commission to be paid by Germany did not include an estimated som of £250,000,000 to be reimbursed by Germany under article 232 in respect of Belgium's debt to the Allies. He added that the Commission's decision had been conveyed to Germany-

LONDON, April 29.

Reuter learns that a semi-official message from a French source, states that agreement among the Allies is becoming still more complete as regards the German situation. Allied experts after examidation of figures believe that occupation of the Ruhr will yield one and th gold marks annually.

IRISH ESTIMATES.

FREMIER'S IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

READY FOR OVERTURES.

LONDON, April 28.

In the House of Commons, intruducing the supplementary trish estime tes, Sir Hamar Greenwood said that the withdrawal of the auxiliary police from Ireland was not contemplated.

The defendant admitted having been

whether or not he was incapable. With regard to the revolver, he said:

Considerable "importance is attached in parliamentary circles to the concluding parts of the speech made by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons on the Irish estimates in which he again affirmed his willinguess to discuss the Irish problem with an authorised representative of Irish Opinion. The Prime Minister read remarks which were framed after co-drank but declared he could not say sultation with Mr. Balfour believed to be interpretable in connection with Lord Derby's recent visit to Dublin. He offered to see any Sinn Feiner or member of Parliament not suspected of murder, of which there were caly about four, on any subject of public importance without any preliminary conditions as regards policy or opicion. The member who came could put ady proposals. It would be the Government's responsibility whether they accepted or rejected them (Cheers.)

The Magistrate: Why do you canу a revolver?

Defendant: 1 had intended to go to Kowloon, and as a matter of fact did go there by launch to meet`a party, When I was in Kowloon seven years ago, I met with an "accident." and I have carried firearms since for self- protection.
