EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

GERMAN DISARMAMENT.

Paris, November 5. According to Le Journal Marshal Foch's report pà German dis- armament which the Conference of Ambassadors will examine to-mor row, declares that the German Government recently mada undoubted efforts to comply with the military cinuses of the ponce treaty, especial ly in respect to war material, but the secret re-organisation of the goneral headquarters staff continues also the organisation of the police, which practically amounts to doubling the effectives of the Reichswehr, and the secret societies are evading the clauses dealing with the teaching of children.

*

Le Journal forcasts as the possibilities, of this announcement that the early evacuation of Cologne will take place in order to prove the allies' loyalty to the spirit of the Locarno Treaty but with the maintenance of inter-allied military control.-Reuter.

CANADIAN CABINET TO REMAIN IN OFFICE.

Ottawa, November. 5.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King, has announced that the Cabinet has decided to remain in office and will meet parliament at the earliest possible moment. The Government with the support of the Progressives has a clear majority over the Conservatives, eight Progreselive and ten Conservative seats depending on the result of the doubtful constituency-Reuter's American Service.

FARMERS AS STRIKEBREAKERS,

Brisbane, November 5. Farmers at mid-night loaded seven hundred tons of sugar on a steamer at Port Hardy. At Bowen twelve railwaymen were suspended for refusing to handle trucks containing coal for Port Hardy, but a general railway strike is not anticipated.-Reuter,

Fremantle, November 5.

The strikers have agreed with the shipowners' terms and are re- turning to their ships.-Reuter.

REMOVAL OF LOANS EMBARGÓ.

London, November 5.

The removal of the embargo on foreign and Dominions loans is welcomed in financial and business circles as showing that the period of cautious experiment in the return to the Gold standard has ended, and because it marks a further step towards restoring the free gold. market of pre-war pattern. The fact that less than seven million pounds worth of gold have been exported since April is held to demon- strate ability to remain on the gold standard.-Reuter.

MALAY STATES RUBBER CONCESSIONS.

London, November 5.

It is rumoured in London that the Malay States Government. has made concessions in regard the rubber output affecting only private enterprise plantations of not exceeding twenty-five acres, estimated to involve 3,000 tons extra of rubber a quartet.-Reuter,

SHARE SPECULATION.

New York, November 3.

The crescendo of enthusiasm and popular speculation on the Stock Exchange culminated to-day, breaking ali records for the past twenty years, the total sales aggregating nearly three million shares.-Reuter's American Service.

GERMAN STUDENTS IN RUSSIA.

Moscow, November 5. The President of the Central Executive of the Soviet Union has commuted the death sentence on the German students into ten years imprisonment, Reuter.

lighter. The West Ison WAS going out of the harbour in the wake of two other steamers and the launch steamed out from a point near the Holts wharf and was proceeding across to the Hongkong aide. There was a lot of trame about at the time and apparently the launch did not see the big steamer. When the cox- swain did it was too late to avoid the collision.

The crew of the lighter seeing the steumor coming straight for them scrambled aboard the launch and tried to cut the lighter clear but before they could do so the steamer had struck it amidships. The launch was nearly capsizod, her port gunwale being well under water. She righted, however, and cut herself clear while the steamer carried the lighter considerable distance. The launch made a wide circuit and came back to the steamer which had by that time stopped. The' lighter was then secured and towed away,
