Adespatch from Genoa says:— Peel-Mee Lloyd George again conferred on Thursday evening with United States Ambassador Child ooncerning the United States attitude on The Hilgue Conference, and again hope is expressed among all the delegations that the United States will finally de- cide to participate. After formally adopting the plan of The I-Iaguel meeting and solemory affirming the continuance of the truce throughout The Hague discussions and for four months thereafter, the Econ- omic Conference did no other business on Thursday. The ultimate aim of the conference, namely, the reconstruction of Russie, -Lvhere it is asserted thirty millions of people will perish this year for want of food and necessary communications tO distribute food, has failed of achievement, though something may be done at The Hague. It has f4iled mainly because of the diametrically divergent views of the Russian Bol- sheviki and Western capitalism. The task of reconciliation has proved vast- er than the European statesmen imagined. Although the Bolshevik reply to the proposals •of the powers was c6nci1ia- tory in the sense that it tuggested Mixed commisSion o ;study the prob- lems Involved, the Seviet spokesmen practically 'rejected the, powers', sug- gestious. l'hey were eSpeclially nisist- ent on adhering to their doctrine of nationalization of, private' property, iecluding the property of foreigners, which the nations desired returned te the former owners. This insistence broke the back of the conference; it drove Belgium and France out of the later deliberations. Nevertheless, the Genoa Conference has served the great purpose of get- ting thirty-two countries of Europe better acquainted with one another's psoblems end has given birth to a spirit of concilietion and understand- ing. It has, therefore, in the opinion of the great majority here, justified its existence, and if people and govern- ments, as Mr. Lloyd George put it, can only learn to mind their own busi- ness, then it is the belief of the dele- gates here, there is hope for ,the .gradual reconstruction of Europe, in - eluding Russia, and for that period of absolute tranquility which Europe so direly needs. Conference of Central Banks Abandoned A despatch from New York says :—According to reports in the financial district on Thursday; plans for a confer- ence of heads of the.world's banks of _issue, as suggested by Sir Robert Horne at Genoa, have been abandoned, at least, for the moment, because of the lack of harmony at the Genoa Conference and the proposed ,adjournment to The Hague. Grenfell Succeeds alfour in London Seat A despatch from London says:—It was a clecieed victory for Edward • Charles Grenfell, candidate for the sean the Hotree Commons rend - eyed* of acant by Baltlaue's elevation to ‘-the Peerage, in Frelection, .4, City electio. 4, His success was due largely to dis- satisfaction aroong» the business men over the dawdling andsquabbling of politicians in the House of Commons, who., it wasbelieved, were more eager to air pet political the.orics than apply themselves to the task of reviving the country's •trade and prosperity. The poll was Grenfell, 10,114; Bo- water, 6,178, His Majesty Pleased With Care of War Graves A despatch from London says:— His Majesty King George has written ,teletter with regard to his recent visit to the war graves, in which he says: "His Majesty trusts that the High CommAsioners and other representa- tives of the Dominions will convey to their people the great satisfaction he expressed to them personally at the care bestowed on the graves of these, who lie So far from their homes. In all the cemeteries visited by His Majesty, the Dominion and British graves lie side by side. The King as- sures the people overseas that thesi graves will .be reverently and lovingly guarded. It is a satisfaction to His Majesty that the Imperial War Graves Commission is so constituted that these graves raey be honored for all time." •Church Vessels Coined Into Money A despatch from Berlin says: -.--The Soviets are coining new •silver coins from precious metals confiscated from the churches •renorts from Moscow state. Six million silver rubles have already been stamped out of the treasures of the churches, and it is expected that between thirty and forty million rubles will be coined. The new turre.ncy will be held as a reserve for the new paper notes, of which the par is equal to that of the pre-war pater currency, SUMMARY OF TERMS. OF NON- AGGRSSION....P. ACT :MADE AT. GENA A despatch from Genoa says:—The agreement for a truce, or 'temporary pact or non -aggression, decided upon by the political sub -commission of the Genoa conference, subject to final rati- fication by the full conference, con- • tains six clauses, summarized as fol- lows: Clause L. Provides for the appoirit- merit of a commission by the powers to examine again, the divergencies exist- ing between the Soviet Government and other Governments, and evIli a view to meeting a Russian commission having the sante mandate.

COMING UP. tfee. AGREEMENT SIGNED Unioli Jack Replaced Y IRISH LEADERS by Irish Tricolor Elections Will Be Held on the Date, Announced in June Dublin, May 21.—An agreement making possible the holding of Irish elections in June and the formation of a coaliticin cabinet was ;reported yes- terday by the -leaders of the two political factions in Ireland and was unanimously approved by their res- pective followers in the Dail Eireann. The minor points of divergence con- cerning the proportion of representa- • tion in the ministry' were waived, by agreement, and the question as to is- sues to be decided by the June elec- tions was ignored. In the pre-election campaign, those in favor of the Anglo-L.-ish treaty establishing the Free State, will be free under the terms of the agreement to say that the eleetion will he on ratification of the treaty, and those opposed to the treaty may- deny that proposition. There will be a coalition peed pre- sented to the electors. It will contain the name,s of candidates representing both ,sides at 'their present strength in the Dail and will be recommended to the electors as the ticket of the Sinn Fein organization. Wherever there is no contest the existing, mem. bees will come back. Contests cannot wholly be avoided, however, because the labor party will nominate candi- dates, and theoretically any other body can do the same. But itis gen- erally believed there will be many uncontested constituencies, and the I election, it is thought, will almost re- produce the last one, when unopposed returns were the rule. Carrier for Shipping Eggs • Stands Rough Handing. Becauseof the enormous loss cc- casloned in -shipping eggs, the prob- lem of a design of an efficient carrier is a fertile field for research. As hens do not work to any standard, the carrier must leave a certain amount of flexibility, and yet be rigid enough to peoteet the fragilec or -Iterate. In a recently patented carrier diagonal strips el $cardboard, placed inside the usual Totten -War openings, hold the eygs •in individual pockets which are protected from the shocks received in shipment. , Keep Canada's Cash at Home. Realizing that Canada has been paying annually millions, of dollars for steel products purchased in the United States, and that steel plants in the interior of Canada have been dependent open the United States for their supplies of iron ores, the Coun- cil for Scientific and Industrial Re- search at Ottawa has been investigat- ing the native iron ore resources, and has secured reports from its commit- tees to the effect that it is time to undertake the special treatment which the Canadian ores require to fit them for commercialn-eduction to pig iron. It is hoped thereby to establish a new and important home industry. A despatch from Cork says:—The last vestige of Britislynilitary power in Southern Ireland disappeared on Thursday night, when, at 7 o'clock, the Victoria Barracks was formally transferred to Cant. McNeill, for, the Provisional Government. Later the barracks was given over to the First Cork Brigade, under Sean °Hagerty. The resentment of the British offi- cers at the transfer was ill -concealed. Orie of them smashed the windows of the officers mess with his hunting crop and another ordered a British soldier to cut down the flag staff. In reply to Capt. McNeill's protest this officer said: "That flag staff never shall fly 'a rebel flag." - On the departure of the British sol- diers the Republican tricolor was hoieted at the barracks' gate and the Cork Brigade mafehed through the city to an enthusiaetic demonstration. Human Tear. Destroys Millions of Microbes A despatch from London says:— Tennyson, it seems, made a mistake in calling tears "idle." Dr. Alexander Fleming in the laboratory of Sir Alm- roth Wright at St. Mary's Hospital has been experimenting with human tears, and has discovered the existence of • a very remarkable substance in them. It has been called "iyeozyme." At the Royal Society's conversazione Dr. Fleming showednewspaper repre- sentatives what the idle tears could • do against microbes.. He took a tiny drop of a tear in a papettee, and gave • it as a lethal dose to a good many mil- lion bacteria, whtch clouded the liquid in the test tube. •Immediately the teas dissolved every nlier0)30 in the tube. • In nearly all the tissues of the body, and in most of the secretion and ex- cretion, according to Dr. Fleming, there exists this substance, which kills and dissolves many kinds of bacteria. So far iysozyme has not been isolated. Paying Gold Struck in New South Wales A despatch from Sydney tays:—A prominent gold find has -been made at Muriel Tank, near Canbelego, New • South Wales. Exiperiencecl prospect - OM claim there are nine separate reefs, each a ndle long. Some of the ore is yielding thirty to forty ounces to the ton. The average is twelve ounces. One gold miner of forty years' experience said he had never seen ore so rich. The area is a series of thinly wooded ridges a mile and a half from the railway track and fif- teen miles from the nearest town. On ridges where herds of emus used to strut are little .colonies of .elianties displaying white flags which consti- tute the miners' emblem of victory, indicating that payable gold has been :found.
