LONDON, November 7. The question of the Franco-Kemalist agreement

M. Briand was welcomed by representatives of the Government and M. Jussemed, the French Ambassador was raised in the House of Commons, by Mr. T. P. to Washington. He received an ovation frong the O'Connor who urged discussion of the treaty which crowd. In a message to the American people he de- be said had aroused apprehension in Britain, especially clared that France was ready to join in every endeavour in view of the absence of guarantees of the safety of to avert a new war providing she feared nothing for her Christian lives. own security.

RUSSIA'S INTERESTS.

WASHINGTON, November 7. Russia will be the only interested state not re presented at the Washing on Conference, as the State Department has not received any intimation from tho constitutional Russians residing in Paris desiring repre- sentation. Officials of the Russian Embassy at Wash ington, which is still of a quasi-efficial character, confirm the view that the conservative Russians have decided to leave Russian interests in the Far East to the conference, which will discuss the problem of the unti-¦ Sovint factions, and approve Mr. Hughes' statement as regards the Chita Government favouring maintenance of Russian integrity in the absence of a recognised Go-

LANDRU'S fifteen alLEGED MURDERS.

DAPPER PRISONER HISSED IN COURT,

PARIS, November 7.

The trial of the notorious Landru who is charged with murdering ten women and a youth was at length opened at Versailles when Landru appeared dapper and well-groomed, curling his moustaches as he walked into the dock. There was some hissing from the nuancé, The proceedings were chiefly tedious fórnialities, includ- ing the reading of the indictment of five hundred pages. The only incident was laughter when the indictment tentioned that Landru had had istimate relations with

Ear! Winterton asked for a statement on the

| position of Britain in the Near East. He declared there was auxiety in the House of Commons with regard to military danger to the British position in Mesopot- amin, if the agreement was as alleged.

Mr. Austen Chamberlain promised to inquire frou the Foreign Secretary whether such a statement was in the public interest at present:

Replying to Mr., O'Connor, Mr. Chamberlain said that the purpose of the Government with regard to the liberation of Christians under Turkish rule was not changed though whether it had the capacity to fulfil its purpose might be as more open question.

BRITAIN'S FIRM NOTE.

PARIS, November 7. The French Ambassador to London has brought to Paris a British memorandum on the subject of the Franco-Kemalist agreement. It is a document of eight pages and though couched in firm, language contains nothing likely seriously to disturb the diplomatic con- versations to which it will lead. The main British ob jection is that the Angora agreeinent detracts from the influence and authority of France in the settlement of the

Near Eastern question at the very time when Britain desires to achieve Greek and Turkish peace in accord with France.
