Mysterious Theft of Diamonds.

Precious stones, worth almost $780,
300, in transit between London and
Ceylon, have disappeared. This is said
to be the biggest robbery of its kind
between London and the East, though
there have been many greater between
other PLACES. The famous pearl neck
lace case between London and Paris Of
few years ago, in which the pearls
we're replaced by Jumps of sugar, in
volved an amount of $4,000.
There is remarkable resemblance
between this case and that on the
Nagoya, which occurred last July. On
that occasion diamonds worth S250,O0O
were stolen from the vessel in transit
to India.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-R- The military policy of the United States regarding the homeward move ment of troops from overseas has not been changed by the recent trend of events in Hungary.

The plans laid out for the demobilization of the American expeditionary forces will not be halted under the present circumstances.

According to the re- port of the demobilizing camps the total number of men discharged from service Is 244,000 against 100000 es. timated.

FRESHMEN WILL 1 PRESENT CAUSE AT CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, March 2S.--R)-- Passports have been granted to Frank Walsh. Edward Dunne and Michael Ryan giving them permission to travel to foreign parts. The men will leave on the next steamer for Brest. From there they will pro- ceed to Paris.
 These men will comprise the dele gation from the United States that will present to the peace conference the claims of Ireland to independence and will act as spokesmen for the entire delegation that will be made up by members from other countries.
 The sending of this delegation is the result of the conference held some time ago in Philadelphia to consider the matter. During the time that President Wilson was in Boston and other cities on his re- turn from France members from this conference waited upon him to pre- sent what they considered just claims of an oppressed people. At that time he assured them that the matter would receive his attention. It is ex- pected that he will champion the cause when it is placed before the conference.
