WILD RUMOURS ON NEW BRITISH PROPOSAL

RE-DISTRIBUTION OF COLONIAL POSSESSIONS CONSIDERED?

“CHINA MAIL” SPECIAL

Paris, To-day.

The reports from London that Mr. Anthony Eden is bringing new and extremely important proposals for settling the Italo-Abyssinian dis- pute raised the interest with which his arrival last night was awaited to a state of tense expec- tancy in political circles here.

Rumour has it that the British League of Nations Minister will even go so far as to urge the re-distribution of her colonial possessions if Italy will give an assurance not to make war on Abyssinia

*

Great Britain would have to bear the cost of this proposal in any case, says l'Intransigeant, and give Abyssinia a strip of British Somaliland. The paper rather inclines to the opinion, however, that the plan provides certain economic concessions

New York. To-day.

It is reported that the Treasury has bought in New York approx Imately 320.000 ounces of silver jat. 67.62 and later an additional £250,000 ounces at 67.12.

"This compares with the pre- vious buying price of 68 cents for foreign bar silver.

In connection with yesterday's weakness in the world silver markets some trade "quarters theorise that in view of the spe- culative position built ap by some [people, presumably in anticipa- tion that the Treasury's next [move would lead to a higher price, the Treasury might have thought it expedient to withdraw its support at the level at which the price was recently pegged, The situatina. was quietened last month in Tacoma after a line of with the intention to shake

TERRIBLE TOLL IN ITALIAN FLOODS

OVADA DYKE BURSTS

Rome. To-day.

It is believed that 1.000 people have been drowned in the floods caused by the bursting of a dyke in the township of Ovada. The country has been inundated over an area of 25 by 16 miles A number of factories have been destroyed and four bridges have been swept away.

Hundreds of people crowded on the roofs of houses but were engulfed as the houses crum- bled away. — Reuter.

Monte Rosa, To-day. The Loch Ness monster has a counterpart here: A score of peasants testify to having seen in the last few days a sort of dragon, which has been reputed to have lived in the neighbouring woods for four years. It had been seen by various people from time to time, but recently disappeared.

A peasant eye-witness de- scribes it as a huge serpent, yellow-green in colour, over, mine feet long, with a body as thick as a log.
