TODAY-Premier Bonar Law, of Eng land, has learned something about publicity, writes David M. Church, London correspondent.

London correspondent.
 LONDON, Feb 21.- Bonar Law has learned his first lesson in publicity.
 When Bonar Law went to the fate full Paris Conference it was with full approval from his Cabinet to follow a policy of disclosing the British at titude to the press. The Cabinet had urged a complete veil of secrecy dur ing the December conference of Pre- miers in London, and it came to the conclusion that this policy of secrecy had been a failure. Hence it was de- cided that in the future when there are international conferences that the British views will be disclosed to the press, by the British During the De- cember conference the British views were disclosed by everybody but the British, and it is understood that the Cabinet was not at all pleased with the versions which were given.
 That is why Bonar Law talked to newspapermen when he was in Paris He had learned his first lesson In publicity, which was that every man must "toot his own horn," for if he permits someone else to "toot' for him the rendition may be a little bit off scale.
 Now correspondents in London are hoping that the Prime Minister Will take a few further lessons and learn that perhaps his administration may be made easier if he opens up No. 10 Downing Street and gives the news Dapermen a fair chance to learn what the Government is really doing.
 There have been many interesting renercussions concerning the pubic itv at the December Conference or premiers. It happened that both the French and the Italian delegations were housed at the exclusive Clar- idge's. Never before had newspaper men been received in Claridge's with any degree of welcome, but this time things were different, M, Mamhrlno, the manager, and Richmond Temple, the hotel publicity expert, put their heads together and decided that things would be much more orderly. there would be less lettering in the lobby if the newspapermen were given a press room. Hence a luxurious suite was thrown open for the correspond ends, and not only was the suite thrown open but buffet luncheon was provided, with a chef in attendance Needless to say the correspondents flocked to Claridge's, where the dele gates were talking and where they | were welcome, instead of standing in the cold on the curbstone in front of No. 10 Downing Street, where no one | was talking and no newspapermen ! were welcome. Now comes the roper cussion. British officialdom has only recently learned of the press room at Claridge's and it's attractions, and there are vague hints being thrown out that this welcome and entertain ment was not symbol of grace on the part of the hotel management, but it is hinted that it was staged by delegates to the conference, other than British, who wanted "corner on publicity" It has even been stated that the charges for the press room were paid for by funds of European na- tions, other than Great Britain. While these hints are being thrown out the correspondents smile, and the man. agement of Cartridges does bit of smiling, too.
 The first metropolitan newspaper to start an "ocean edition" will be The London Daily Mail. During the coming tourist season the Daily Mail will publish daily edition on each of the Cunard transatlantic liners. The news will be transmitted by radio.
 The Duke of Devonshire, peer of ancient lineage, friend of King George, father of daughters slated to marry rolayty, does not like reporters. He hates newspaper photographers. He wants them all turned out of the pre- cints of Downing Street. He says they have no right to be in the vicinity when he happens to cross the famous thoroughfare.
 Photographers approached to snap him as he walked to a recent Cabinet
