Aug. 17th.--{¢ has been deci- ded that the English cricketers shall ac cept the invitation to visit South Africa and play a series of games with local teams during the season 1922-23. Belmont, Mass., August 18th.—Jim Barns and Jock Hutemson United States and British open golf champions were defeated one up today in their first 36 holes exhibition mateh with British pro- fessionals, Abe Mitehell and Geo. Dun- can, played on (he links of the Belmont Spring country club. Dublin, Aug. 19th.—The leaders of the Sinn Fein today were centering their attention on London, awaiting the ex- pected statement on the Irish negotia- tions by Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons and the Government’s reply in the House of Lords to the recent inter- pellations by the Marquis of Salisbury for an official statement on the subject. Meanwhile the rank and file of the mem- bers of the Dail Eireann were engaged in committee woik in cousideration of Irish internal affairs. The fact that the Dail Eireann put off discussion of the reply to the British Premier’s peace offer until Monday is indicated to be due to the expectation that Mr. Lloyd -George would say something meanwhile in an- swer to Mr. De Valera’s speech of Wednesday or possibly to the anticipa- tion that some move wounld be made to induce Ulster to join the forces with the South. London, Aug. 19th. -The Government, declared Mr. Lloyd George today, in making its settlement proposals o Ire- land had decided on patting the whole of its tefms into the letter to Mr. De Valera without keeping anything back and the sequel had proved, he said, that it was right in adopting that course. He had heard no suggestions from any part of the world, except Ireland, he remark- ed, that the proposal had but gone to the limit of possibie concessions. ‘‘l want to make it clear’’ continued the Premier, ““that the Governmeunt did not put forth hazarding terms, but put forth every- thing they could possibly jeoncede to pur- chase peace and the good wili of the }msh people. In Ireiand itseif, as far as 1 can sce, the doubt is not so much as to the terms, but as to whether the Government really means themn. That is a question of working out the terms of elucidation ani elaboration and not a changing of the terms. The outline cannot be alter- ‘ed nor the basis changed’’. London, Aug. 19th.—An annoance- ment in favor of Welsh Home Rule has been made by Mr. Lloyd George, says the Liveipool Post today. The Premier, who mad~ the announcement at a dinner of Welsh Nationalists pledzed himself, according to the newspayper, Lo supporf a measure of Welsh devolution if such were agreed upon by the Welsh members of Parliament. The Home Rule favour- ed by Welsh Nationalists means a great- er degree of self Government. Washington, Aug. 19th.—Comment among Senators today was unfavourable to the proposition of an alliarce between Great Britain, Japan and the United States. Senator Borah told a represent- ative,of the Canadian press that it would be, in his opinion, useless for Mr. Lloyd George to come to the Washingion con- ference after contemplating such a ;{im. Senator Hitchcock said the idea as hardly consistent with the purpose of the League of Nations and he doubted- whether the United States would be in- terested or not, Dublin, Aug. 19th.—Thus far there has been no sign of unusual ioflux of black and tans of soldiers into Dublin or other paris or the country, but a ru- mour, which is claimed to have emana- .ed from military sources, says there are 30,000 troops in England ready to be transported to Ireland in case the truce breaks down. In Irish quarters the view is expressed that even the rumour of preparation, and it is only such, will be bound to have a bad effeet upon Sinn Fein opinion. London, Aug. 19th.—A Reuter cable’ from Lahore, capital of the Punjab, says that the municipality of Lahore has pass- ed a resolution, with but two dissenting votes, declaring that until the wrongs hoth of the Punjab and of the Khalifat are redressed, it would be unwise and inexpedient for the Prince of Wales to visit Lahore in the course of his forth- comin% tour of India. The resolution adds that though the municipality entertains not personal feeling or disrespect for the heir apparent, its members teel convinc- ed that {his visit would be exploited for political ends and it has determined not to accord him any welcome whatever, not to incure expense for his reception nor participate in the official function The Punjab has population of over nine- teen millions, jof which over ten mil- lions are Mohammedans, two millions
