EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE REPARATIONS PROBLEM.

London, May 3. Admiral Grasset, the French Mediterranean Admirallasimo, in re- sponse to a summons from M. Briand, arrived in London this morning accompanied by a number of officers. There are numerous Allied naval and military offears in London awaiting orders at Downing Street. When the Supreme Council assembled at eleven this morning following a meeting of the financial experts, it was regarded as probable that the meeting of the Conference would last the whole day. M. Brland was shown the text of the American note to Germany and expressed pleasure at its tone.

Paris, May 3.

Various units destined for the Rhineland entrained at several places yesterday in perfect order. There will be 400,000 men ready to occupy the Ruhr by May 9 according to the Petit Parisien, while the Echo de Paris says that the French Mediterranean Squadron has been chosen to effect a blockade of German ports, in which event British co-operation will be under the orders of a British Admiral.

Washington, May 3.

Secretary of State Hughes in a note despatched on Monday evening informed Herr Simons that the German counter-proposals are unacceptable as a basis for discussion of the reparations question and he urged Germany to make the desire of the American Government for a prompt settlement "the vital question."

London. May 3.

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

BRITISH COAL SITUATION.

London, May 3,

As regards the shipments of French coal mentioned yesterday, the Transport leaders have appealed to the men not to handle the coal. It is declared in an interview that assurances have been received from Dutch, French, Bolgien, German and Austrian workers that they will prevent the export of coal to Britain; furthermore, the attempt would be frustrated at British ports. It is said that feeling among the transport workers is such that coal importation will not be tolerated. Meanwhile two steamers from Belgium with coal arrived at Yarmouth on Sunday. The union labourers declined to unload them whereupon sufficient volunteers were forthcoming to discharge one steamer, the police protecting thom.

The Government has agreed to allow racing at Kompton and Newmarket provided it does not involve the use of the railways.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

London, May 3.

has

Ex-Lord Mayor of Dublin Farrell has stated that he received a semi-official offer from the Government and described it as the biggest ever suggested: namely, the Government is propared to give to Ireland dominion home rule subject to national defence safeguards immediately Ireland is ready to accept it. Farrell declared that he has submitted the offer to Dail Eireann

Nothing is known in British official quarters of the new German note to the United States. It is thought that the report must refer to Germany's recent message to America amplifying the proposals of the German note of April 24. No news of any new German proposals!

AMERICAN SHIPPING STRIKE.

London, May 3. The Times correspondent at New York reports that twe hundred ships are held up in New York harbour as a result of the strike of six thousand marine engineers. The unions are instructing forty thousand seamen and firemen at Atlantic ports to strike. The daily loss by the strike is estimated at a quarter of a million sterling,

New York, May 3.

The American Steamship Owners Association has rejected the suggestion of Mr. Hoover to submit the dispute with the marine workers to arbitration.

ANOTHER U.S. STRIKE.

New York,, May 3.

Job printers employed on numerous plants throughout the country are striking owing to the proprietors refusing to grant a 44 hour week. It is estimated that nearly five thousand have already struck. In Chicago several newspapers have been compelled to cease publication or issue joint or curtailed editions.

ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

Toronto, May 3. The Montreal Star severely criticises Mr. Rowell for publicly advocating non-renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and points out that if Britain refused to renew the Alliance, Japan might turn to Soviet Russia and Germany. While Canada should make sure, preferably privately, that she was not bound to any programme which would require her to commit suicide for the sake of the Japanese, she must also recognise that the defence of the Empire involves widely scattered interests and Canada was not entitled to insist that every question in which she was more or less concerned must be treated as a Canadian question exclusively.

"It is as much disappointing Sir Hamar Greenwood gives as it is surprising, that Japan has the following figures on the apparently renounced her special forces in Ireland as relating to position in Manchuria and the preceding twelve months: Mongolis in participating, in the China Consortium," was statement made by Mr. Tanomogi, one of the Kensei-Kai leaders at the meeting of the political com- mittee of the party.
