LONDON, January 14.-Dispatch-

Although the authorities made elab-

with stones.
The prince. apparently. was within
the government house exchanging
greetings with native chiefs when

extent of the casualties Is not stated.
The cause of the rioting at Madras,
according to the Daily Nails corre-
spondent. was an attempt by the ad-
herents of Gandhi to prevent the peo-
pie from going to greet the prince.
The correspondent says that a NOV

Tomorrow will see the opening of
a conference of representatives Of all
the Indian party leaders, for the pur-
pose. as the invitations said. of trying
to solve the deadlock existing among
them. Mohandas Gandhi, the nation
alist leader, will attend, but no men,
bers of the government will be pres
ent, unless a few moderate Indians
who hold seats in the legislative
council are considered as such.
In official circles it is stated that a
round table conference of Indian lead
ers and government officials probably
will be considered. but the viceroy al
ready has expressed himself as not in
favor of such meeting, and it is con-
sidered doubtful If permission for the
conference will be granted should to-

With grave faces men in conference
circles are discussing the French
crisis in it's possible bearings upon
this meeting and upon the far east.
These are problematical, but the re-
lation to near eastern conditions is
immediate and critical. 1t was in the
near east that the Anglo French rela-
tions suffered the severest strain, and
it was primarily to remedy the grave
situation about the eastern Mediter-
! ranean that the Cannes council was
called. Lloyd George and everybody
else interested understood that the
hour had struck for quick and heroic
and power in that part of the earth
which Is still the storm center.

This was made quite clear at Cannes.
Because Of it the British prime min
ister made the proposal for a de-

duced to simplest terms. the question
Is one OF Salvaging western civtliza-
tfon in the part of Asia that is near
pessimistic that they believe the in
fiuence of the great powers has been
permanently broken in the near east.
This seems Incredible.
Under cover of the open disunion
and rivalry of the entente nations in
the near east since the armistice. mo-
mentOus events have occurred to dis
turb the minds of statesmen, and of
| all lovers Of world peace and order.

Great Britain back on to Constantine
ople, where her position is difficult.
and lost her all control of the Bag
dad railway. Italy has been obliged
to leave Adalia and France Cilicia.
France Energies Victorious.
Out of this humiliation France has
emerged victorious, because she has
made an agreement with the Turks,
which, while it costs her territorial
relinquishments, has. in effect. put
so that she has been openly called
the supplanter of Great Britain as the
protector of Mohammedan interests in
the world.

tween Finland and Soviet Russia

this will form the basis Of today's
attempt at settlement
In addition to this the council, in

ability to settle the Wilma dispute
yesterday. The wilma matter, long be-
fore the council, was turned back TO

VIEWS OF PACIFIC COAST
ON 4-POWER PACT GIVEN
Senator johnson Finds Sentiment
Not Unlike That When League
Was Under Fire.

Views of the people of the Pacific
coast on the four-power pact were
discussed in statement by Senator
Johnson. republican, of California,
upon his return from the coast yes
terday. As he interpreted them, he
said:
"The prominent league of nations
supporters hail it with elee as justi-
fication of their attitude on the
league. The opponents of the league
view it with regret because they fear
its possibilities. The man on the
street who voted by 7,00O.0O0 majority
to keep this country from entangling
alliances, is wondering whether his
victory was in vain. OF course, the
English-Japanese propaganda news
papers, and there are many of them,
are quite enthusiastic.
Taken altogether, the sentiment ]
met was not unlike the sentiment on
the league after the league had been
under fire six months or SO. The old
leaguers are for what they think is
new one. while the great mass of
people want to know fully the situa-
tiOn and wish to keep out of little
league, just as they voted to keep out
of the big one"

Nine of Uncle Sans old submarines
have just ended their careers by serv-
ing as targets for the guns of the
destroyer squadrons attached to the
Asiatic fleet. A brief cablegram tell

The resting place of these obsolete
submersibles is not home waters,
but in the Pacific, outside Manila bay.
Weeks before the target tests were
begun the work of dismantling the
old subs and taking everything OIL

Thus the Armenians and Greeks
