London, May 28.
Mr. Lloyd George mat the Miners' Executive this morning. The Premier had a 1 hours canference with the Miners' Executive this morning which was resultless. It is understand the Premier told the miners that, unless an agreement between the parties was reached, legislation would be introduced to enforce a settlement by The miners said they adhered to the national profts pool which has been the stumbling-block-to-a-settlement-hitherto The Premier said this was not a matter for consideration either now or by arbitration.
The first British detachments have arrived in Upper Silesis arbitration. and were warmly welcomed.
M. Briand's speech yesterday caused an excellent impression. It is regarded as a great victory for the policy of close unity between England and France.
In the Chamber to-day Deputy Noblemaire, rejoicing in Franco- English friendship, remarked, however, that while the Peace Treaty | had granted England whole satisfaction France, with the same gal- lantry and much heavier sacrifices, is still awaiting the reparations
owed to her.-Vale.
Paris, May 29.
.
The German papers "Frankfurter Anzeiger," commenting on the present situation, writes that the Germans are unconscious that Germany, vanquished and without strength can rise again only by (acceding to the terms of the Peace Treaty.—Vale.
The newspapers approve M. briand's speech and his policy a3 being methodical, firm, moderate and the one most likely to restore and consolidate the general peace of Europe.-Havas.
London, May 29:
Present negotiations between Paris and London deal with the question of the next meeting of the Supreme Council. Great Britain ¡desires an early meeting, but France urges the formation of a com- mittee of Allied experts, jurists, soldiers and diplomatists to examine every detail of the Silesian question before the Supreme Council assembles. Meanwhile Great Britain is urging a scheme for the creation of three zones in Upper Silesia to be occupied by Poles, Germans and Allied forces respectively.

THE FRIST TEST MATCH.
London. May 28.
After the miners, the Premier met the coalowners. No arrange ments were made as to a conference of miners and coatowners.
The Government's proposals submitted to the miners and coal- owners to-day are identical with the Premier's speech cabled yes terday. As regards a temporary arrangement while a permanent schame is being evolved the proposals state that since it is plain that the parties are unable to agree to the terms of an arrangement for a continued period the matter must be decided by one of thres methods: Firstly, the establishment of a National Wage Board on which the coalowners and miners would be equally represented, with a neutral chairman; Secbadly, the establishment of a tribunal of three persons to decide the dispute;: Thirdly, reference of the dispute to a single arbitrator. The determining body must report within two months.
The Miners' Executive has decided to submit the Government's proposals to the districts.

RETURN OF GENERAL TACHIBANA, FROM SIBERIA
The Commander-in-Chief Interviewed.

troops in Siberia, arrived Tsurugs on the 9th inst. by the transport Niitaka Maru. He is oo his way to Tokyo to attend a [conference of the senior officers (and officials stationed in Siberia and thins, for the purpose of fully exchanging views and settl- ing the course to be taken in the two countries.
respondent he is said to have Interviewed by a Mainichi cor-
made tha following atata- ment: Some unrest still pre- vails in Vladivostock, and, of ilate, rumours have been current that some political crisis is im- minent. This is due to the resumption of active movements by the Kappelites in Nicolisk and other districts owing to the difficulties they have been experiencing in obtaining the means of living. But I don't attach much importance thereto, as I believe they are only rumours. If the Kappelitas really com. mence any movement, the Japan- ese troops will disarm any party which opens hostilties, as we have repeatedly declared. So we do not believe that any serious disturbance will develop, because We are ready to enforce our declaration. Several Kap- pelites have recently discarded their uniform, instead of idly waiting for some promising opportunity, and have applied to the Japaneso army for work. Some of them are working very well and others have linked up with gangs of coolies. The in- sufficient supply of arms and ammunition will cripple them i they attempt military movements in any case. Some of them are trying to convince others that they are secretly helped by the Japanese army, and this natural- ty misleads the public to discredit Japan's real object.
The discipline of the Japanes farmy has been often commented on in the home land of late, and I have been very sorry to notice, it; but there is nothing to invite such unfavourable comments. The alleged emb zzlement by s paymaster is under examination, and nothing, defizite- can be Shanghai, May
