iris,
Oct.
30rh. -Assertion—is
made
by the Frenech
Government
in its
reply
to the British
note announcing
that Great
Britain had decided
to renounce
the right
to confiscate
German
property
in the Uni
ted Kingdom,
that the
paragraph
of the
Versailles
treaty
that
Great
Britain
is
prepared
to
waive,
is
an
integral
part
of the conv®ntion, says the
‘‘Petit Paris-

The

holds
theretore
that this or any other clause
of the treaty
cannot
be revised
without
a preliminary
agreement
between

of

The note,
ihe newspaper
says,

hupe
that ap agreement
between

on the subject
may
be reached
soon.
New
York,
October
Oth.—While
the
politicians
are
becoming
prophetic,. the
betting odds
in the New
York financial
district
strongly favour
a
Republican
vietory.
The prevailing
odds
today
aie
seven
to
one
in
favour of
Harding,
in
spite of the f ictthat a fund of $1,000,000
ST.
L ROLILZEZ-AVLS
was said
to have been offered at
10 to 1.
There is considerable
doubt in gthe
pub-
"lic mind
as
to the existence
of this fund.
The odds of 7
to L:.which
were
reached
today at the
Stock
Exchange
make Cox
the greatest
long shot
in
the
betting on
presidential
campaigns
since
the
news-
papers
began
to record
such
beiting,
or
since
1876.

The

at

docked
at
the

and
the
nearby bridges.
The government

immediately
notified
de-
puty
Lord

the
Bishop
of

that
no

Kingston,
Oect.
Ist. —Between
Satur-
day
night
and
Sunday
morning
three
large city stores
in Harbour
Street
were
practically
burnt
out and
the
roofs
of
two
others
were
damaged.
The
block
runs
westerly
from
the
Colenial
Bank
to the army and
navy stores.
The
form-
er
being
fire
proof,
was untouched;
and
the latter escaped,
but contents
damaged
by water.
Loss estimated
from
150,000
te 200,000 pounds
and
said
to
be
fairly
well covered"ny
insurance.
The
night
was calm.
The theory is
advanced
that
- the fire was caused
by burglars
or
spon-
taneous
combustion.
A store
in the
cen-
tre being fireproof escaped
and
was
one
of the
most spectacular
sights
ever
seen
in Kingston
a perfect
volcano
of
flames
leaping over it.
London,

to

London

declare
that the orderliness
of
the

exposed
the
hollowness

Here is 2 man

‘‘murdered

borne
along London streets

thizers carrying flags and declaring
their
e Imity towards-lowards

the
Morning
Post
said:
In what other
country would such
_tolerance
be possiblé?
Would America have
tolerated in the streets
of New York a de-
monstration
in favour of secession?
Would
relatives
of
a
murdered
British
soldier
have
been permittad
a
processio~
with
Union
Jacks in
the
strests
of Cork
or
Dublin?
[t
was
a
most
amazing
ex-
‘ampie
of British tolerance,
The
"Daily
Graphic’’
said:
P cture
thousands
of
rebels
marching
openly,
guarded
by
po-
lice
for their-cwn
protection.
Such
a
procession
wouid
be
impossible
in
any
other capital.
The
United States
would
not
have
tolerated
it. If Debs
were
to
die of self-murder,
as Mr.
MacSweer~y
did, and such a procession
were attempt-
ed,
it would
have
been
broken
up
by
the Irish police of New York City.

was
lowered
to
its resting
place
in
the
republican plot
in
St.
Finbarr’s
Cemetery
just
out-
side
Cork
this
afternoon.
Despite
the
splendour
lent
the
scene
by
the
at-
tendance
of
the
high
churchmen
there
was
a simplicity
marking the ceremonies
that
was impressive.
Outside

crush of town’s
people,
two
armoured
cars

ma-
chine-guns
ready,
and
half a dozen
lor-

were
drawn
up
at
the roadside,

ing
