ANGLO-FRENCH CONFERENCE.

Paris, June 19.

Official: M. Millerand meets Mr. Lloyd George at Hythe prior to the Bedlogna Conference. The greatest secrecy is observed in re- ference to the change in plan for which no explanation is yet forth coming.

*B* A Hythe Conference is to be held between Lloyd George and Millersad preliminary to the Allied Conference at Boulogne.

Faris, June 19. The Echo states that owing to dificulties in the formation of the German Cabinet the Spa Conference has been re-postponed to July 10. It is explained the Hythe Conference is necessitated by the fact that the Anglo French Boulegra Conference is being transformed isto 1.A Inter Allied Conference. Preliminary Anglo French conversations are required on the questions of indemnities and repara- tions payable from Germany. Franco British financial experts are extremely satisfied with the plan evolved if agreement is reached at Folkestone and Boulogne. The basis of this plan will constitute a great step towards financial and economic questions.

CANADA AND JAPANESE

Vancouver, June 19.

The Government of British Columbia has decided not to agree to the demand of the Canadian Dominion Government for cancellation of the clause in provincial Governments contracts probibiting the employment of Japanese in public works or in connection with mining or timber leases. The question has been referred to the provincial

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

London, June 19.

The "Gazette" publishes a Royal Warrant providing for the Award of the Victoria Cross to civilians of either sex connetted with the Army. Women nurses and members of Auxiliary Corps are eligible. It further provides for the gran: of the Cross to an officer, non-commissioned oficer and man of a unit distinguishing itselt collectively the recipients to be selected by ballot of their comrades. There are similar provisions for the Navy.

THE US. PRESIDENCY.

Washington, June 19.

Mr. Hoover has announced he will support the Republicans at the elections. He describes the bulk of the Republican programme as constructive and progressive. This apparently eliminates the pos- sibility of Hoover's nomination as Democratic candidate for the "Presidency."

McAdoo declines to allow his name to be put forward as a candidate for the presidency and declares his decision irrevocable.

They had then, as they have now, no occupation to resume. They may be divided into two groups, those between 33 and 40 years of age and those between 21 and 25, and the registrations made by them at the Appointments Depari- ment of the Ministry of Labour are almost as numerous as aj any time during the last 18 months.

The dificulty of finding work for these men cannot with justice traced to the employer, who has done his utmost to respond to the numerous appeals that have been issued for the provision of Business houses employment.

such.

Presiden: Wilson declared the Republicans were responsible formed that there are many any bad effects of the fallure of the Senate to ratify the Versailles Treaty. The covenant of the Republican leaders sacrificed every principle that made the movement of eight months ago attractive in order to gratify ambition and to prevent Americans fulfilling their nonest obligations to the world.
