It Is also understood the generai lines of the premier's offer have the approval bf Austen Chamberlain, the govefnment leader in the house of commons; Sir Robert Horne, Sir Laming Worthington Evans, secre tary for war, and other ministers and that probably, with some mod fications, the entire cabinet will as. sent to the proposals. -------- «The Truce to Continue.

Cheerful Over Situation, ~ London, July 23. The London newspapers this morning take an ex- ceedingly cheerful view of the entire Irish situation, refusing even to anti- cipate the probability or a break- down. Several Political correspon- dents supply feported vers prime minister's stateme Southern Irish leader, which, though they agree in some points, differ sufliclently in detail to show that the terms still remain a mat- ter of speculation and will not be cleared up until the official text of the proposals is made publig. -- Perfect Confidence, London, July 22-- Eamon de Val- era arrived at Euston station shortly after eight We er this morning to take the 8.30 ait for Dublin.

Cabinet And Dominion Pre- . of miers Will Be Held." London,' July 22.---1t is believed that the idea of holding a Pacific con- ference in London will be abandoned. Such 'a .confeience was originally propo¥ed by Right Hon. W. H. Hughes, premier of Australia, and Right Hon. W. F. Massey, premier of New Zealand, who will be unable to go to the United States during the autumn owing to the convening of their respective parliaments. 'A Lon- don conference is supposed also to have been strongly favored by Japan. Instead of the proposed prelimin- ary conference, there will be held here a conference between the Brit. ish cabinet ministers and the do- nilnfon premiers. For this purpose Premier Meighen, of Canada, postponed indefinitely his idea of sailing for home. This ference will be devoted, first to a discussion of the policy and representations of the British empire at the Washing- ton conference, and, second, to the advisability of asking the Washing- ton government to postpone the dis- armament and Pacific conference to Some later date than Nov. 11th. Such a postponement would not only be agreeable to the dominion premiers, who vill be unable to be in Washington in November, 'but it would be convenient tb the British government, because, in the event of the Irish negotiations proving suc- cessful, it might become necessary to hold an autumn session of parlia- ment to legislate for a new Irish settlement, WILL REPLACE OLD SHIPS. British Government Not Competing in Building, London, July, 22, Lloyd George declared in the House of Commons. that it was essentia] for the govern- ment to proceed with its policy of re- placing obsolete capital ships of the navy. Lioyd George.made this de- claration in answer to questions con- cerning. the government's naval pro- gramme. The necessity for replacing obsol- ete ships, the prime minister said, would not be affected by the forth- ~coming conference on disarmament in Washingfon, which he asanmed "will be a complete success." The prime minister was speaking Corening the four capital ships pro- vided for in the navaj estimates. He was asked if the govermment would not suspend work dm capital ships rending the outcome of the Washing- ton conference. Lloyd George said the government in replacing obsol- ete ships neither committeed itself to nor contemplated any building programme in answer to that of any other power. AS a result of candid discussions with the principal naval powers, the prime minister declared, it might ba possible "to avoid anything in the nature of competitive building, but he said it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the admiralty to allow the efficiency in training or morale of the Royal navy to deterior- ate from neglect and not to provide it with material equal to the best, and in which full confidence could be had. timed. ure, it is stat- | Last year quite a number pak- Their punishment to discourage 'wntrue stafn. spring.

San Francisco, July 22. the year 1920 there were eighty- seven separate and distinct earth- quakes in California according to in- formation reported to the Sefsmoio- gical Society of America by Andrew H. Palmer, meteorologist of the Unit- ed States weather bureau here. This figure includes only those tremors that were actually feit. "From a seismological viewpoint, the feature of the year in California was the large number of earthquakes in Los Angeles and vicinity." declares Mr. Palmer. "No earthquakes were treported from Los Angeles during the first five months of the year, but Seven occurred there in June, twelve in July, one in August. and four in September, making a total of twenty-four for the year.

Continuing, the newspaper says: "The feeli ; as leader of the new government appears to be fairly unanimous amongst the farmers, While it is understood that the United TS of Alberta president is not partic- ularly desirous of accepting the heavy responsibility of leader, it is becoming evident that he will be strongly pressed at the coming con- ference to stand for election as premier.
