The inauguration of the Conferences in London, which affect the happenings, even the existence, of millions of people, are singularly lacking in spectacular interest, the absence of big, popular figurès like M.

Though the Conference yesterday afternoon was merely for preliminary examinations, the suddenness of its opening betokened the differences of Britain on the one side and France and Italy on the other, for the British planned the conference of the Greeks and Turks to open to-day after a frank talk yesterday among the Anglo-French- Italian delegates for the purpose of eliciting any concrete Franco-SHANGHAI AMATEUR BIL Italian proposals.

It is known that Britain favours the maintenance of the Turkish Treaty, Italy and France desire a revision, the former because she is resentful 'of Greece's gaina and the latter, inter alia, because of her desires to

escape commitments in Cilicia by arrangement with the Kemalista.

Therefore Signor Sforza, General Gouraud and other French military representatives were the chief catechists of the Greeks yesterday, while the British and Japanese military experts were silent, though Mr. Lloyd George also exhaustively questioned M. Calogeropoulos regarding the morale and effectives of the Greek Army.

SINN FEIN PLOTS,

London, Feb. 22.

The newspapers give prominence to the captured Sinn Fein document read by Sir Hamar Greenwood in the House of Commons) yesterday, dealing with the appropriation of 230,000 for "operations. abroad," and outlining a scheme for wholesale destruction of property in England and Scotland and the encouragement of looting by mobs. The document was found in a raid on the headquarters of the Irish Republican Army, mentioned on 21st inst. It shows the intention not only to persist in a fire-raising campaign but to destroy blast-furnaces, possibly coalmines, damage telegraphs and telephones and wreck trains and tramway-cars.

ATLANTIC BLIZZARD.

St. Johns (Newfoundland), Feb. 22. A blizzard is sweeping the Atlantic seaboard. It is the worst snowstorm experienced in Newfoundland this winter. Train and steamer services have been suspended and business is practically at a standstill. A fire, due to the use of candles, owing to the collapse of the electric system in consequence of the storm, destroyed the residence of the Roman Catholic Archbishop, who with nine priests and his domestic staff, narrowly escaped.
