Thanking you for space, Mr. Editor, and hoping that we will be successful with our trip and contest, 1 am, Respecifuily, REUBEN J. BRUN, Seo. D). o I&2F. B (s, TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIX STATION. Paris, Aug. bsth.—France, replying today to an inquiry made by the State Department at Washington, agreed to November 11th. as the date for the con- ference in Washington on disarmament and far Eastern questions. London, Aug. sth. —The King has ap- proved of the proposal that the name of the Royal Montreal regiment shall henceforth appear in the British army list as allied with the West York re- giment, London, Ang. sth.—Further press com- ment supports the building of four capi- tal ships. The Daily Telegraph says that despite the approaching Washing- ton disarmament conference nothing had occurred to justify the scrapping of the fleet. Going on, it says as follows: “‘We owe that duty to ourselves and also to the Empire which, despite the growth of the prinßiple of self-Government, still looks with confidence to the mother country for assistance in the hour of perii. Nothing which occurred at the Impewial conference, as the Parliament. ary Secretary of the Admiralty has re- vealed it, has subtracted, in the least from the responsibility in this respect we have hitherto borne.”” The Tele- graph also hopes that full credit will be given at Washington and elsewhere for Britain’s modest formula, that the Brit- ish fleet shail not be inferior to the fleet of any other country, adding. "It can be claimed with confidence that never before has great maritime power given so conspicuous a lead in the limitation of armaments.”’ The Times rebukes Mr. Winston Chnrchill {for asserting that we must rely atseaon our own inde- pendent strength. Security at sea,’’ says the Times, '‘depends on the policy of whiech the navy is the tried insirn ment.”” It is a mischievous fallacy to suggest as Mr. Churchill suggests, thar our policy is powerless without a pre- ponderance, or at least a keenly contest- ed equality of naval strength- If that were ¢tri: a new rnri/aird to the knife between great nations in naval armamenis would be inavitable. To as- sume as Mr. Churchill seems to ussume, that the American n vy would idlerate the use of the American navy as an in- strument for international bullying, is to insult the American peopie by level- ling then: to the level of the Geraany of the mailed fist.”’ London, Aug. sth.—An important step in the direction of equality between the sexes was taken in the House oi Com- mons this afternoon as the result of dis- cussions regarding the admission of women to positions in ‘he civil service. A resointion introduced by Sir Robert Horne, Chanceller of the Exchequer was unanimosiy adopted, providing that after a period of three years women shall be admitied to civil service posi- tions in the United Kingdom uuder the conditions aunl regulations governing them Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. sth. Australians toek the lead in the Davis cup tennis matches by winning the doubles on the grass courts of the Allegheny county club 4-6, 9-7, 4-6, 6-46-4. The play today give the Australians their posision because they were the stronger team in the last two sets. After the British had taken the lead two sets to one, the Austra- lians were able by correct placement shots and deadly serving to win3 sets out of 5. The British team showed splen-
