CARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE IMPERIAL

KONFERENCE.

Landon, Oct. 1. The stage is set for the opening of the Imperial Conference at Downing Street to-day and the Economic Conference to-mOITOW.

All the Dominions Premiers have assembled excep: Mr. Brace COLUMBIA DANCE RECORDS

(Australia), who is due in a few days.

The proceedings will open with an address by Mr. Baldwin. the conferences is wherein it is expected he will throw mare light on his recent meet- ing with M. Poincare. The keen interest in reflected in the attention devoted by the newspapers (1) to its forthcoming labours. The foreign diplomatic world is also mani- festing interest, though from different angles.

The problems which are considered to loam largest to, the United States and Japan relate to future economic ties between the atherland and Dominions, the naval balance in the Pacific, im- migration, and the colour bar. On the other hand the European Governments are chiefly concerned with the Dominions statesmen's views on the so-called isclationist movement.

There is an impression abroad that General Smuts is the only overseas Premier strongly in favour of the continuance of closa British co-operation and intervention in European affairs. Other wise, it is thought that a new All-British policy, tempered at the most by strong support of the League of Nations, friendship with Americs and expansion of British enterprise in Far Eastern markets will be warmly urged by the Dominions,

Later.

The Conference has opened. In a grey drizzle the crowd in Downing Street was large enough to necessitate the attention of the police. Hundreds of photographers made wild rushes to the door of Number Ten as the delegates arrived. Mr. Baldwin and the Duke Mr. Massey (New Zealand) of Devonshire were early on the scese.

as the first Dominion representative to appear. Thereafter came Lord Curzon, Sir Philip Lloyd Greame (President of the Board of Trade), Lord Peel (Secretary for India), Mr. Sapru, Maharajah of Alwar (the latter and his secretaries attired in gorgeous Oriental robes). Messrs. Dalal, Mackenzie King, the Newfoundlander Mr. Warren. General Smuts and his ministers Burton and Dewet, and lastly the Free State delegates Messrs. Cosgrave and Fitzgerald.

The conferees arrived in motor-cars carrying the flags of the various Dominions. It was noteworthy that the sole exception to General Smats, the conventional top hat and morning dress was wearing a grey trilby and blue serge sult.

DUESSELDORF DEMONSTRATION.

A

Berlin, Oct. 1.

Four police and twe're Separatists were killed and a large num ber wounded at Duesseldorf as a result of a conflict, in which the former charged a dig body of demonstrators, who had journeyed thither by special trains with the expected object of proclaiming the Rhineland a republic. It is reported that the French troops in armoured cars intervened after the police charge and arrested them.

Berlin's version adds that the demonstrators marched in empty streets, and the public generally complied with the trade union request to absent themselves as a protest. Many of the demonstra- tors were armed, having disarmed green policemen along the route.

Paris, Oct. L

A message from Duesseldorf reports that four thousand Separa- ists reformed in procession and proceeded to the station, where the Roman Catholic Father Kremers, in arousing speech, denounced the Berlin terroristic measures against the movement. The city is cow quiet. The arrested police were lodged in the station cells under military guard with fixed bayonets. An enquiry has been opened to ascertain why the police intervened in disobedience of the occupation authorities' orders.

From independent accents from-Duesseldorf, it is uncertain who were the first aggressors, but there are strong indications that The lecturer weat on to deal with they were the Communists, who are known to have determined to the subject of malaria and passing break up the Separatists' meeting.

A signicant incident occurred at Munich yesterday on the oc- casion of the visit of ex-Crown Prince Rupprecht to unveil the war memorial in the presence of twenty thousand soldiers. Prince Rupprecht and his wife were not only attended by Von Kahr, who is a staunch monarchist, but by Premier Von Kailling and General Lossow, who is the Reich's own dictator at Mucich. The ex-Crown "Lang live King Prince was greeted with thunderoua shouts of Rupprecht! Long live the Queen!"

Von Kahr has further angered the Central Government by re- pressing and disarming socialist organisations, who oppose the restoration of the monarchy in Bavarin.
