LLondon, Octoter 12th. Viscount Birk- enhead, the Lord Chancetlor, today or dered the reiease from Brizton Prison of the Councillors o} the borough of popu- lar, whose recent arrests grew out of a refusal to comply with certain tax provi- sion of the London County Uouncil. Halifax, N S. October 12th.- Detain- ed in port by dense fog for many hours, the four units of the North Atlantic Squadron, H. M. Ss. Raleigh, Calcutta, Cambrian, and Constance, left at 11-30 o’clock last night to return to Bermuda. Genevs, Octobher 12th— The Co:ncil of the League of Nations met behind closed doors yesterday to hear the report of the four members cnarged with the study of the partition of Upper Silesia. The meeting continued in the afternoon, as a complete agreement does not seem to have been realized in the Council as a whole regarding the solution which should be recommended to the Allies and Associated Powers. Washington, October 12th.—Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, formerly Secreta- ry of State, died at his home here to- night after a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Knox was on his way to the dining room at 6.15 o’clock when he suffered the stroke. He died fifteen minutes later without regaining consciousness. Sena- tor and Mrs. Knov returned from Eng- land only yesterday, where they had spen! a vacation during the recent recess of Congress, touring by automobile. The trip seemed to have benefitted th2 Sena tor and had given no indications of fail- ing health. Mrs. Knox and the Senators Secretary, were near,the Senator when he was stricken and summoned aid, but it was futile. London, Oct. 12th.—Presidiag at a meeting at the Mansion House today, the Prince of Wales made a strong- plea for the support of the British Empive exhibition at Wembley, near London, in 1923. The Prince gave it as his opinion that the preparations for the big exhibi- tion should be procecded with immediate- ly,in order toprovide employment for some of the thousands of able-bodied men who had offered their life for their country. ““There s ould be no deiay in starting the work’’, said the Prince. He asked for an immediate guarantee of « ne million pounds for the work and declared that nothing would set him on his way o India with rejoicing more than the knowledge that this problemm was being tackled and that there were consequently a few thousand happier homes in Great Britain. Referring to his recent tours of the Dominions, the Princ: emphasized the “‘rapid expansion and sturdy devel- npment and parhaps. most of ali, tle in- finite possibilities of those nations whose . people -are our own kith and kin and on whose continued prosperity the future of our own communities depends’’. The Prince said that his recent visits to Aus- tralia and Canada provid :d him with}valua ble experience which enabled him tojapore ciate, far more intimately than he other- wise could have done, the great probiems which are common to the Staiesmen jand peoples of each portion of the Empire. He was much struck, he said, by the unanimity with vhiea the British mm- pire exhibition project was welcomed by the Prime Ministers and other repre- sentatives of the Dominions and In- dia. He had not doubted the wisdom of the gospel that they preached, naneld lv. that it was to the interest of the Empire to develop igs great resour- ees and to exploit to the utmost the possibilities of Imperial and Natioral improvement. He shared the optimism of the Dominion Prime Ministers, also trneir anxiety, that Britons should be fully alive tothe great possibilities of waht a quarter of a century ago the late Rt Hon Jos. Chamberiain callex "‘our vast uade- veloped estate.”” Thre Prinee said that Great Britain and t .e Dominions wanted, in connection with the pros: ective ex- hibition, to take stock jof British assets, to explore every avenue to fresh mar- kets ;,and fresh sources of raw mate- rials, to invest men and mouney in parts of the Empire which ecalled for such investments and promised an early inciease in the wealth of the Britisk Nations and an early growth cf the prosperity and happiaess of the ia- dividual. They wanted, said the Prince to focus pubiic attention in Britain or problems which are the daily experi- ence of statesmen throughout the seven seas, to encourage conmnercial, indus- trial and scieptific research arnd make the different nations of the Empire bet- ter known to each other, and he!p peo- ple to believe that an Empire which was worth dying for, was worth livingfor and working for. 'That task, said the Prince, demanded the highest ideals and the most earnest endeavours. He intended that nothing should be lack-
