He expressed the belief that the terms of Eamonn de Va- lera's letter to Premier Lloyd George, accepting the suggestion of 8 conference, would be acceptable to the prime minister. Earl Midle- ton added that ho and his colleagues had achieved their object, and that further progress toward peace in Ireland was a question to be dis- cussed by Lloyd George and de Valera, Military Patrols Withdrawn: London, July 9.--Military patrols | tyere withdrawn from the streets of Dublin last evening says a Central News despatch from that city.

The meeting will probably take place next week. The only thing remaining is the fixing of the date, which Lloyd George will name in his reply to de Valera's let- ter, The government is subordinating all other problems of state to the question of Irish peace, and is bend- ing every effort towards preparation for the meeting. The Irish office stated this after- noon that Eamonn de Valera had issued ipstructions to his support- ers to cease all attacks upon civilians and to discontinue military manoeu- vros of all kinds. - Instructions from de Valera, the Irish office said, also ware to prohibit the use of arms, to abstain from interference with the public or private property, and to discountenance and prevent action likely to cause disturbance of the peace which might necessitate mili- tary interference. The instructions were effective from noon Monday, it was added. - Government Instructions. Dublin, July 9.--The government here, in order to co-operate in pro- viding an atmosphere, it is explain- ed, in which peaceful discussions may be possible, has directed the following: "All searches by military and police shall cease; military ac- tivity shall bo restricted to the sup- port of the police in their normal civil duties; curfew restrictions shall be removed; dispatch of reinforce- ments shall be suspended; police functions in Dublin shall be carried on by metropolitan police." ei ih a en a" placed and built at ruinous cost. He attacked the Grand Trunk 8ys- tem of financing, arguing that, re- serves had been built up on paper, which had no real money behind them. In fact, he argued, that the reserves were chiefly indicated by 'red line' deficits. He also criticized the attitude taken before the investigation by the Grand Trunk, claiming that they had called in a number of subordinates, wiile the higher officials, really re- sponsible for the financing of the Grand Trunk and G.T.P.' had not been called.

Ottawa, July 9.--Reports from Canada's six apple-growing provinces point to a crop of this staple fruit generally in excess There was a very heavy "drop" in June, however, which, if it continues much longer, will materially reduce the prospects. . According - to the July fruit and vegetable crop report of the depart- ment of agriculture, British Colum- Blan orchards, as well as those in New Brunswick, and Quebec, offer promise of a ten per cent, increase over 1920, Ontario prospects are for a 20 per cent. reduction. - Spies, | Baldwins, Macintosh and Russets are heavy, but Ben Davis light, Prince Edward Island expects a big crop of all varieties, In Nova Scotia dry weather and a heavy drop have re- duced the outiook., Baldwins and Kings are set heavy "and/ total crop is expected of some 10 per cent. in excess of last year's.

Plifms promise well in Quebec, but Ontario and Nova Scotia will prob- ably produce only a 50 per cent. crop. In British Columbia a fair to good crop is anticipated.

Toronto, July 9.--Captains of lake vessels have tomplained to the mayor that swimmers in the vic'nity of the «| Eastern Gap have gone out so far that they are in dange: of being drawn under by the suction of the large boats. 'There are beaches on both sides of the piers," said the mayor, "and people should stay there, as advised by the steamboat captains." There is also complaint from the mariners that the range lights on the pier heads of the Eastern Gap are altogether too low, and if it were not for the Hydro lights they would often have difficulty in mak- ing port. The matter is to be taken up with the federa] authorities.

Brabin, a director of Fox Films and the star's personal director, became known here Thursday. While the wedding -had been anti- cipated for several weeks, none of the friends of .the couple either in or out of the profession had the slightest inkling that the ceremony had been performed last Saturday until Thursday.

Help the Blind---An Appeal The Daily British Whig has open- ed a fund for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, 34 King street east, Toronto, and will he glad. to receive and acknowledge the receipt of subscriptions to such a most worthy cause, The Institute his now amaigamated with it the ov ganization of the Prisoners of War Hread 'Fund. aud' owing to the as- mands made by blinded soldiers, ike Institute appeals to all friends anid sympathizers of blind soidiers to give its work effective support by gene:- cus contrilptions, is The work of the Institute is not ere to-day and gone to-morrow, but is of such a permanent nature that the foundatiop now laid or being es- tablished will be for the lasting bene- fit of those for whom it is intended. The fund for blinded soldiers was es- tablished sdon after the armistics, and much valuable work has been accomplished. $o far the following sums have been realized: 1919, $13,.- 853; 1920, $13,650; 1921, $4,100. The home of the blinded soldiers is Pearson Hall, 136 Beverley street, Toronto, named after Sir Arthur Pearson, of St. Dunstan's fame. It is ent, has brought the hall up to a high standard, ably supported by Miss Coulthard, the matron, who supervises an efficient staff of V.A.D. who attend to the comforts of the men, helping them where help is ne- cessary apd generally looking after their welfare. A visit to the hall hy ounyone interested is not only wal- comed but well worth while. In the workshops the men can be seen at thelr different vocational duties, so iv can be readily understood that every dollar is well spent and is needed to maintain the different de- partments connected with the resid- ential home on a high plane of use- fulness. i The following detgils show the di- versity of occupations: Massage, 14: poultry farming and carpentry, 24; boots and mats, 7; plano tuning, 5: stenography 8; joinery, 2; baskets and néts, 5; broom making, 4; telo- graphy, 1; wicker work, 3; general secretary, 1; instructors 4; market gardening, 1; business firms, 8; in business for themselves, 13.

(Continued on Page 7.) . . liance---Lloyd George London, July 9.---Lloyd George hopes to be able to make a state- ment on the question or the Anglo- Japanese treaty in the house of com- mons on Monday, The prime min- ister in this way replied to a number of questions which had been put down. He could not make any state- ment at present as it might interfere with the success of the negotiations that were proceeding, but by Monday replies might be received from the | United States and China. Meanwhile |it may be stated confidently that | there has been a distant trend in the recent discussions of the premiers' conference in event of its being found | impossible, either by modification in | terms or by express understanding | with other powers which have in- | terests in the pacific, to remove all { objections and suspicions to which | the treaty has given rise not only in America and Canada, but in China. "Why renew the treaty?" was ask- | ed editorially by the New York Times | the other day. Certain of the argu- | ments advanced have been very | strongly put forward here, Austral- | lan Premier Hughes' "pros in favor | of the renewal have been weighed | against Canadian Prime Minister i Meighen's 'Cons' and it is not going | too far to say that on the balance the "cons" have been considered more weighty, The British government narural- ly holds to the view that it cannot take any attitude which might have the appearance of throwing over a long-time and valued ally and it is consequently desirable that Japan should be a consenting party to what- ever alternative arrangements are made. Japanese approval will not, it is expected, be withheld if the sug- gestions which have been made to the United States and China find ac- ceptance. As Ambassador Harvey indicated on Independence Day, the whole question of the Pacific may be susceptible of an earlier settle- | ment than is generally supposed. | Negotiations which are at present ! proceeding between the United States and China, are nob, it is erstood, concerned directly with i oatron of naval armaments in the Pacific ocean, but that will probably be taken up as a direct corollary, par- ticularly as it is belfeved that if an understanding between the United States and Great Britain on points now under discussion is reached, the hesitations of the Washington ad- ministration to summon a navaj] con- ference for limitations of armament would disappear, HALF A MILLION ARE WORKLESS IN ITALY At Least Two Million Inhabit= ants Affected by Pres- sent Crisis. Rome, July 9.--Italy has new half a million umemployed, a large num- ber considering her industrial lmi- tations, It is calculated this figure means at least 2,000,000 inhabitants affected by the present crisis. The government must face workmen's subsidies to the value of a billion lire yearly, and payment will begin at the earliest possible moment. At the same time an effort to limit unemployment and prevent pauper- ization is being made IA another di- rection, Public works on a large scale are to be undertaken, including road-making, bridge building and the erection of cheéap houses, especially in southern Italy, where unemploy- ment grows among the agricultural population. Though genéral indus- trial depression is responsible for the great part of the unemployment, the fact remains that America's new im- migration laws are hitting Southern Italy very hard, and causing all the unemployment in agricultural ® pe- gions, . + MORE PROOF OF IRISH GIVING UP REPUBLIC European Christian Endeavor Leader Says That Dream Fast Dying. de New York, July 9.--Rev. 8.

London, July 9.--King George ap- pears to have suddenly assumed the role of principal mediator in the present Irish crisis. ¥ The King received Sir James Craig, Premier of the Ulster Parliament, at Buckingham Palace yesterday. Following by only a day his cons ference with Jan Smuts, Premier of South Africa, and intermediary in the negotiations, King George's ace tion was regarded as deeply signifis cant. Unconfirmed reports were immedi ately circulated that Eamonn de Vals era, president of the "Irish Repube lic" would be the next important figs ure to be invited to Buckingham Pal~ ace, The King, it was pointed out, réals ly took the first step toward bring- ing about the present negotiations when, in opening the Ulster parlia= ment recently, he pleaded for peace in Ireland, urging the people of the Island to 'forgive and forget." 3 It is known that King George has been constantly informed of the pro< gress of the negotiations and follows ing Thursday's conference Smuts, it was announced that the London conference, in which de Val- era and Unionist representatives will meet Lloyd George would be held at Buckingham Palace, ' Conference in Dublin.

As the conference proceeded % crowd in the streets at intervals res cited the rosary and the litany, an joined in prayers. An interesting feature was the abe 1 sence of both the police and the milfs * tary. Only two policemen were in evidence. : Irish ballads were sung by boy vocalists at intervals as the people waited news from the peace deliber- ations, and at one point a procession was organized which revolved about the near neighborhood.

Paris July 9.--The Leipzig court's' acquittal of General Stenger, accus- ed by the French of having ordered the killing of helpless prisoners, has produced a strong feeling of resen ent in Paris and gives rise to the. mand that the Allies protest to Berlin against the whole proceed-: ings of war court-martial trials and at once withdraw their representa tives from Leipzig.
