Voices High Resolve and the World's Desire for Success Lloyd George Hopes to Arrive Later to Take Part in Parley. A. despatch from Wishing;ton says:—Delegates of the British Em- pire approach the Armament and Fax Eastern Conference "in a spirit of oonfidenee and leig'h resolve," the acting -bead of the delegation, Rt. Hon, Arthur J. Balfour, deelared upon his armivel in Washington. "We must not indeed either ask for ,` or expect the impossible, although what is within our r+eaeh is worth our utmost :efforts," said Mr. Balfour in formal statement. "I cannot doubt that under the wise guidance of your ?'resident we shall be fortunate enough to attain it. I am convinced that all those who are going to meet here in common counsel, and the Gov-' ernmentai whom they represent, are resolved to the best of their ability to co-operate with him at shaking it a success. This is the wood's desire; it will not fail of accomplishment." The arrival of Mr. Balfour and his party eer1y in the day from Quebec, where they landed Tuesday, completed the British delegation with the excep- tion of Mr. Lloyd George, who lnaa ainrounced his detention at home by domestic questions, but Who has in- formed the United 'States Government ot` his expectation to came to 'Wash- ington as soon as possible. Shortie be- fore the chef British delegate reach- ed the capitol, the British Donninion represent etien was made complete through the arrival of Sir 3, W. Sal - morel and C eorge Foster IN. eree, re- presentatives of New Zealand Australia, respectively. The British. Empire delegates were met .at the statioz> by Secretary cf !State Hughes, General Pershing Ad- miral Coontz and other high officials and military officials. Late in the day they began a round of calls, going to the White House to pay their roe- peets to President Herding and then calling on Secretary. Hughes, Weeks and Denby at their respective offices. They were entertained at dinner at the 13ritish Embsy by Ambassador and Lady Geddes, Before the series of o'fficial calls began, Mr. Balfour received news- papermen and while chatting inform- ally, was asked, his opinion as to the probable length of the ecnference. "If we do not spin out the time in talk," he replied, "I see no reason why we should not finish the confer- enee quickly, We have all come no doubt for work andd although there is a good deal to do, Iam confident that we can do it quickly. Mr. Hughes, with his talent for making a quick beginning, will no doubt assist in ar- ranging the work so that we may get along rapidly with it. We have all heard a. good deal of talk of the length of the Paris Conference, 'but after all, when one thinita of the corpleeity of the questions 'considered there and the' new maps that were made, it was real- ly not so long. We have not so much to do here, but we have subjects of very deep importance for the future of the world." and Canada From Coast Coast St. John's, Niitl.- Tire maternal trade of Nerseean.at;dn1 tla;reutt the ent of utilizing find reudering produc- tive the vast areas of the Canadian ::yet fienal 'ever ;ameenated t, seo,393,- northland.

A despatch from London says:-- The Mar.ehester Guardian states, "on high authority,” the exact position of the British Government et the present stage of the Irish negotiations, The Government sees clearly* the hostil- ities against Southern Ireland are, for all practical purposes, out of the ques- tion. Apart from any moral consid- eration, the campaign would cost too much, both in men and money. It is now estimated as a very big military. operation. The country is sick of war and would not support it. That is the material reason why a campaign of repression in Southern Ireland eau - not be resured ex:ept in a great em c'n 1;ettey, But there is a moral reason also, namely that Sinn Fein has made great concessions. It is definitely willing to abandon the idea of a republic for the salve of a United Ireland. But there must be same give and take. The Government does not expect 'Sine Fein to make all the can.esions. On the other band, 't lster trust net be (awed. All that the Government can do is to perseaze Ulster. Th:.t is the only way out. Logic and econ:i nio facts ww ill eventually bring her around. But meanwhile the problem would re- main as it is now. ''The Government is very much alive to the diplomatic importance ora settlement," adds the 3ianeheeter Guardi'an, "If there is no settlement, not only eau the Prime Minster not go to Washington,but tI- ing on conference itself might as well not be held. There night be even indirect pressure from the United States if we renewe:l war upon Southern Ireland, because if we can undertake such a costly operation we ean afford to pay the United State; our debts, and we would prchmbly be askal to do so. This is an authentic account of the present position of the negotiations and of the mind of the Government." months of the present year a, total of 3,467 homesteads were filed on in the Canada's Heroes Honored Western Canadian provinces, aeeount- by Fitting Ceremonies ing for the settlement of 549,920 acres.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY GIVES PREFERENCE TO CANADIAN GOODS' A despatch from London says:-- The British. Admiralty, which recent- ly promised that in, the awarding of future contracts, Canadian timber would be given the preference, has • promised to pursue the same coulee with Cena.d'ian salmon. The !Admiralty signalized its new policy in the ease of timber by placing .a large order with a Vancouver firm. It is hoped that Canadian salmon can- ' leers will benefit similarly. Strangelyenough, until attention was drawn to it by Mr. F. C. Wade, British Colum - bin's agent -general en London, the Through the long years that Can - adieus have been carving a ration out of the wilderness, they have also teen building up a national literature. We have now to our credit a considerable volume of writing in history, poetry, fiction and biography. Particularly is this true in the realm of verse. Many of Canada's poets have won international fame. And now there appears a new vol - nine of poetry, written by members of the Toronto Wonnen's Pres. Club. "Verse and Reverse" is the title of this attractive little booklet, which. eontain'• thirty well-known names among them many who are renowned from coast to coast as writers of beautiful verse. Katherine Hale, Virne Sheard, Lil- ian Leveridge, "Seranus," Florence Randal Live=ay, and Jean Blcwett are among those who have contributed to this volume, now on tale, at fiftti cents, in the principal bookstores throughout Canada.
