Speculation is busy regarding the chances of the latest peace feeler. The American Government declines to disclose the contents of the recent German note, notwithstanding Germany's hint that she does not object to its publication or communication to M. Pois care. Official American circles point out that the German charge d'affaires at Paris can furnish M. Poincare with information if he desires. The movements of Lord D'Abernon and Mr. Montagu Nor man are also being closely watched. According to the French news papers. Lord D'Abernon, who arrived in London to-day, bears an official message from Dr. Cuno, although official circles in London deny that any political significance attaches to the visit. As regards Mr. Norman, the Governor of the Bank of England, who at present is somewhere on the Continent, the authorities are unusually YUNNANESE SUCCESS, soldiers are compelling shop-ditions at Kongmoon. He says reticent. A Paris message announces that he arrived there yester- day and discussed terms of repayment of certain British credits, but after that his movements have been uncertain, and it is reported that he has left for Berlin.

IMPORTANT HARBOUR RULING.

Colombo, March 20.

The District Judge has delivered judgment in a case in which the British Petroleum Company, of London, sued the Crown for sixty thousand pounds sterling, damages to the steamer British Ensign, owing to the alleged neglect and carelessness of the Crown. The Judge held that the steamer was berthed in a dangerous place owing to the insufficiency of water and the nature of the harbour bottom, and over-ruled in argument that the Ceylon Government could not be sued as representing the Crown, also an argument that Colombo barbour was open water into which ships enter at their own risk.

ANGORA'S NEW COMPANY CONTROL.

Constantinople, March.20. Herlying to the High Commissioners' protest, Angora has insisted that foreign companies in compliance with the new registration law shail supply the Government with a copy of their articles of associa tion and balance sheete, and in some cases deposit guarantee funds. A number of companies have been ordered to present their balance sheers since 1916 for fixation of war profits. A twenty per centum income tax at the very least will be retrospective from the Armistice. Failing compliance before March 18th, the companies are threatened with severe penalties, and even suppression.

IMPERIAL ECONÓMIC CONFERENCE.

The contemplated Conference would include representatives of the Colonies and Protectorates, but the form of representatino had not yet been settled..
