Imperial Conference.

TIME most important developments of the British
imperial conference concern the postponement
of the renewal of the Anglo Japanese treaty
and the statement by Mr.. Meghen, premier of Can
ada, the subject OF the voice of the dominions in
the foreign affairs of the empire. Although no an
nouncement has been made to that effect it Is be-
leved that the Irish question has been discussed by
the premiers and that Gen. Smuts, of South Africa,
Is responsible for the invitation to Irish leaders to
attend a conference which has been made by Mr..
Lloyd George.
With regard to the Anglo Japanese treaty, it ap-
pears that the opposition Of the Canadian, Australian
and South African premiers to concluding any treaty
without consultation with America unless subject
to a referendum has caused the British government
to defer renewal of the treaty from July to October
Further action will await by the United
States towards an international conference dsarm
ament.
The following four principles laid down by
Prime Minister Meighen essential to the dominons
in respect the imperial foreign policy (1) That the
dominions be kept constantly Informed regarding mat
tiers which directly concern the British govern
ment such as the Middle East Palestine and Meso-
potamia (2) That the dominons must be consulted
on matters affecting the empire whole; 90 That
the British negotiate treaties without the advice
and approval of the domnions and that all treaties be
laid before dominion parliaments; and (s) That on
questions between the United States and Canada the
decisions of the Canadian government must be final

Creeks Refuse Mediation.

On June IS, Il was announced that the Greek
government has formally declined both to postpone
the offensive in Anatoa and to accept the mediation
of the allies The given for this decision is
that the withdrawal of Greek troops from Anatolia
would be equivalent to the abandonment of the treaty
of Sevres which would very seriously affect the
Greek claims not only in Asia Minor but in Thrace
1t is further stated after the elaborate preparations
and the extravagant proclamations of King Constan-

S,773 criminal cases Of which 1906 were draft
evasion cases, 500 growing out of alleged
violation of the Volstead law and 937 gem
eral criminal cases.
1t is pointed out that the apparent great
congestion of draft evasion leases has been
due chiefly to the long delay before the
original records of the draft boards were
available for use of the United States At
terney AS a result little progress was made
in the disposition OF these cases until the
latter part of last year. The main difficulty,
it was found. was locating the defendants,
and ten Deputy United States Marshals are
continually assigned to that work. In addi-
ton, Attorney General Daugherty approved
recommendation from the New York office
that the cases involving alleged draft evaders
be carried through to an end, because, among
other reasons. of the large proportion Of de-
PENDANTS who have been wrongfully accused,
largely because of imperfect records kept
by the draft boards.
