morning of the Imperial Press Conference and

the navy He said that it impossible to main

as outlined in his speech. contemplated distinct
fleets for each Of the FIVE nations of the empire.
Great Britain. Canada, Australia New Zealand and
South Africa These fleets should be mobile, able
70 protect trade routes and capable of being turned
quickly into offensive weapons. There should be
standardization. Interchange of officers we'll as
Interchange of ships and repairing stations should
be established throughout the empire by some
extraordinary, mad tnfatuaton for which I am
quite unable to acount,' said Lord Beresford. the
repairing stations upon which we have spent so
much money have been disuantled."
The admiral suggested that the doninions could
assist greatly In this general plan by rebuilding
and re-equippng these abandoned naval bases In
case of war all the fleets of the empire would have

rsrecial by french Cable n The Tribune
London June 26-The Imperial Press Con
ference has held its closing session to-day after
a fortnight's iunketing. Lord Esher and Lord
Charles Beresford were on the platform on as
amicable terms as though there were no con-
test between the Fisheries and the anti-Fisher-
ties Both factions can easily agree on the ex-
pedency of obtaining help from the colonies in
paying for Dreadnouehts. The colonial editors
are expected to advocate this course in return
for the lavish hospitality enjoyed here. They
have cheapened the press cable rates TO the col
onies. and that is not a small achievement.
Lord Charles Beresford. after a long period of
self-restrsnt. will take the country into his
confidence in an address before the London
Chamber Of Commerce. This will be the most
important event of the coming week, although
Lieutenant Shacketon will appear before the

Especial by French Cable to The rribune.I

Paris June 26.--It was with reluctance ana
grave nisgivings that the French government
conditionallv assented to the proposal made by
Sir Edward Grey that the four powers Wnich
had assumed the task of preserving order IN
Crete should withdraw their cOntinsents from
the island July o. because the French Caei-
net was convinced that such step owing to the
present national excitement in crete and Greece
would Inevitably result in war between Turkey
ana Greece II was upon the initiative Of the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs that the
original plan presented by Sir Edward Grey has
been modified to require that the four
cruisers-one French one British, one Russian
and one Italan-eharged with the future naval
surveillance ST Crete should each be provided
with a landing force of thousand men and six
machine guns. ready TO dsembark and occupy
the island at the first symptom of disorder
Practically the future naval surveillance viii
differ only slightly from the present military
occupation. The four powers have agreed TO
decline the proposition made by Turkey to enter
into negotiations intended TO bring greater
autonomy and home rule in crete. and while
assuring the Turkish government Of their deter
minatiOn to support Turkish sovereignty IN the
island they have again made it clear to the
Greek government and TO the Cretan populatlon
that they will not countenance any efforts TO
bring about the annexation of Crete to Greece
and that In the event of any aggression Of
Greece against Turkey the four powers will
observe strict neutrality and wash their hands
Of the consequences. Personally. NJ Clemen-
ceau and NJ Pichon have warm syrnpathes with
the Greek people but they feel that Greece. in
her own true interests. should refrain from out
bursts OF patriotism, he guided by common
sense and must not disturb matters st present.
The final adoption by the four powers Of this
in,nortapt modification of Sir Edward Greys
original proposal is accepted as the sole means
of avertins war between Turkey and Greece,
which would be most disastrous for Greece, and
as the only satisfactory solution of the crisis
This result is mainly due to the diplomatic fore
s;cbt and energy exerted bv NJ Pichon just at
the right moment. {. L. II.

Toxic. June 2s-Before leaving Seoul for the

Charles Warren Fairbanks prepared the following
statement giving his impressions Of the Japanese
rule In Ccrea. He said.
The political social and Industrial condition of
Corea is steadily improving, and~this Improvement
commenced with the establishment OF the japanese
protectOrate. Much OF this progress was made
under the farsighted craftsmanship of Prince Ito.
The regeneration OF this country has been we'll

purpose Of Japan toward Corsa and the Coreans.
Foremost among these H. the establishment OF
iudigial system. next the introduction of good
schools. I ind that the japanese ssta bsh-
ing excellent public medical legal and agricultural
colleges. and this every thing to the people
of Corsa Foreign missionaries working

The insurrection has completely subSided and
good order has been generally established through

sources of CoTea. and in this connection glad

In conclusion VIII say education and honesty
are the prime essentials necessary for the complete
regeneration Of Corea, and both Of these are being
used by the Japanese protectorate- Japan had
delicate task and one that viii doubtless tax her
statesman nship but have every reason to hope
for the fun success Of her present policy.
