mystery has been opened up by the discovery in the Grand Union Canal, near Brentford, of the trunk of a male body, minus the logs, head and one hand.

On February 25 a set of human. legs was found in a paper parcol under the scat of a coach in London's Waterloo station, and police have long sought throo

men whoso actions led authorities to suspect that they might be able to throw somo light on the crime.)

The trunk, discovered to-day, which had been in the water some time, was seen floating in the canal by children.

Police were Informod and Criminal Investigation Depart- mont officers were rushed to the

seche.

Brentford is on the ne taken. by the train in which the legs wore discovered last month.- Router.

London, March 19. Lloyds Underwriters have to-day roduced the odds against war in volving great Britain within one year, to ten to one against.

BELGIUM WITH LOAN

́ ́ ́ (SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”)

It is learned from New York, says the United Press, that the resignation of the Belgian Government has thrown the foreign exchange market into turmoil. The Belgian franc has already fallen ten points, to 23.50, and the currencies of all the Gold Bloc natione, followed the Belgian unit in sympathy. The pound, however, which opened at 4.74, rose to 4.76%.

A despatch through Reuter from Paris attributes the fall of the Belgian Cabinet to the failure of France to support the belga with a loan, which, according to earlier reports, had been promised.

There are reasons to believe, Reuter adds, that President Roosevelt will call a currency parley of riations.

Brussels, March 19.

M. Theunis, at the opening of the Chamber of Deputies here to- day, read a statement declaring that the Government had encoun- tered too formidable opposition in Ita efforts for financial and economic r:habilitation, and therefore would be obliged to resign..

At present its efforts would be centrod upon the formation of a new Government which would in clude Socialists in addition to the Liberals and Catholles from the fallen Government.

The King of the Belgians to- day held a conference with the Socialist leader M. Vandervelde, in the Royal Palace.
