WASHINGTON CONFERENCE DANARD.

REPORT THAT PREMIER WILL NOT ATTEND DENIED.

A MYTHICAL INTERVIEW IN PARIS,

PARIS, August S. Interviewed by American journalists, Mr. Lloyd George said that be would be unable to attend the disarmament conference at Washington on November 11.

LONDON, August 8.

Mr. Lloyd George's announce tent in Paris that he will not attend the Washington conference has surprised London where Government circles attribule the decision to the enormous accumulation of work requiring his personal attention in autumn. Further, it is suggested that the anticipated developments in the irish situation have caused him te change his mind.

A personage in close touch with Mr. Lloyd George said that the Premier had given no inkling of this latest decision when he departed for Paris. Some persons are inclined to associate the change of plan with the possibility of a general election in the autumn.

LONDON, August 5.

Reuter's representative in Paris is authorised to state that neither the delegation nor the Embassy made any statement concerning Mr. Lloyd George's intentions as regards going to America. Moreover Mr. Lloyd George bas received no American journalists.

ENGINEERS AND ST. DUNSTAN'S.

Dear Sir,

I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter containing the further generous contribution of £100, which has been given for the benefit of St. Dunstan's funds by the Mem. bars of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders of Hongkong.

VANCOUVER, August 8.

Mr. S. Baker, as Hon. Sec. of the Lord Northcliffe, prior to departure for Honolulu, speaking at the Institution of Engineers & Ship- Canadian Club on the subject of disarmament, referred to British Columbia builders of Hongkong, has received! as the nearest window through which one could look upon the Pacific and the following acknowledgment: the whole eastern world. On that horizon was the outstanding paint, i namely President Harding's proposal that the Pacific should give the lead to the rest of the world by becoming truly pacific through limitation of armaments. Lord Northcliffe believed that President Harding and Mr. Hughes, whom he saw in Washington, had the clearest understanding of the momentous character of the conference at Washington which might well prove the greatest and most pregnant gathering of the kind ever held. Lord Northcliffe expressed the opinion that if the delegates to the conference truly and consistently represented the desires of their respective nations he was convinced agreement could be reached and an area of peace and prosperity would be opened in the Pacific, while the example and advantages from this would result in the extension of the movement throughout the world. He was sailing into the Pacific in the hope that within the next few months he would acquire a thorough and more direct study of someoff problems than possible at home, a better understanding of their nature and a knowledge of exactly where the points of danger lay. He emphasised that he felt that at no moment în modern history had mankind been called more urgently than attain for the carrying on of the work present for earnest endeavour to rid humanity of the burden of armaments,

He declared that failure would be a catastrophe.

ICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, August 8.

The attack on Miss Julia Abwee, of the Kowloon Dairy Farm, on the Old Kowloon City-Yaumati Road on- Friday afternoon had its sequel this morning when Sub-Inspector McNab' Wilson, MC, charged a Chinese youth before Magistrate Orme with having been concerned with another youth, not in custody, in a highway robbery.

Miss Abwee said that about 5 p.m.. on Friday she was returning home in aricsha. When passing a tea shred on the road side, she anticed two men, but did not pay particular attention to them. A little later, she became conscious that her ricsha was being followed, and turning round, saw the men running behind the vehicle. Before she could decide what to
