R R S R At estate Sight yesterday the burning off of stubble got out control and the fire spread to the neighbouring estates ol Boetzberg and South Gate Farm des- troying considerable tracts of pasturage which are a serious loss at this dry sea- son. It s estimated that about 80 acres of the combined estates were burnt,. Fortunately with the help of the police and marines, the prisoners and the es- tates’ gangs the fire was eve tually quel- led and no loss of houses or live stock occurred. Among the passengers by the Guiana to New York yesterday were young Messrs. Harry Beatty and George Sea- man who are going to School at Mt. Hermon, Mass.

In Par- liamentary quarters, says the "Times’f, the action of Mr. Lloyd George is attri- buted to his alleged. desire to influence opinion in the national liberal club, where a strugele for predominance be- tween his supporters and those of Mr. Asquith is procee ling. The '‘Times’’. which has been consistently distrustful of Germany and strongly antagonistic to My Lloy:’b George, in an editorial in this morning’s paper expresses extreme indignation at the Govt’s. attitude with regard to France’s occupation of German neutral territory, as set forth in an au- thoritative statement issued. We seldom have reada more lamentable or a more shameful expesition of British policy, says the newspaper. This is the return we are to make to France for all he has done and suffered by our side. We tremble at the results of this scan- dalous announcement, this explosion of inconceivable folly, upon that union of the British and French people where- upon our rulers well know the stability of peace, so dearly bought, now chiefly depends. It regrets the French error of judgment in sending so many Afri- can troops to Frankfort, saying that this will give the Germans a pretext for indignant protestation, but it thinks that otherwise the French ac- tion has effected great good and has . brought the Germans to heel.

Delcase. The “‘Daily Mail’’in a similar strain, says the British people never will permit the British friendship and alliance with France to be sacrificed to Mr. Lioyd George in a vote snatebing campaign. London, April 9th.—ltaly’s attitude re- specting the French occupation of Frank- fort concurs fully with that expressed in the behalf of (sreat Britain, in a statement issued last evening. Signor Secialoia, Italian Foreign Minister, stated today that there were no diplomatic exchang- es which would justify the assumption by France that it would meet with Italy’s approval. Washington, April 9th.—The republi- can joint resolution declaring the state of war with Germany at an end ang re- pealing most of the war time legislation was adopted by the House and it now goes to the Senate. New York, April 9th.—Another ship- ment of approximately eleven million dollars gold arrived here today from England, making total consignments from Great Britain since the first of the year of seventy-eight mil ion dollars. London, April 9th.-—M.Cambon, French Ambassador, has formally given such explanations to Lord Curzon, regard- ing the policy pursued by France in connection with the German situation, as lead to the expectation that matters will be speedily smoothed over bet ween
