MR KELLOGG SAILS

(Received this day at 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, August 19. The departure of Mr Kellogg for Paris stirs memories in France.

“Le Petit Parisian ” states, it is nearly a decade since President Wilson left the United States for Paris, with the leaders of the allied powers to establish a new statute for the world. To-day, again, an American statesman embarks for Paris to put a noble enterprise afoot. “ Action Franchise ” caustically states: “ Let us hope this enterprise will not cost us so dearly as the first.”

The fact that Kellogg’s arrival will synchronise with the anniversary of tlie Vanzetti execution has induced the authorities to make elaborate preparations for his protection.

OLYMPIC GAMES. LONDON, August- 19. An Olympiader, writing in the “Times” summing up the Empire’s performances at the Olympic games says Winter’s and Law’s failure remind us as track failures must remind Americans, that too much reliance placed on previous performances in perhaps highly favourable conditions can be a snare and a delusion in the estimation of national chances at any Olympiad. CRUISER TO CONVEY REMAINS. LONDON. Aug. 19. The cruiser “Champion” now at Portsmouth will convey the remains of the members of the submarine 1,55 from Kekronstndt, if arrangements are able to be made with the Soviet. 'l'he “Times,” Riga correspondent, states the bodies have been placed in coffins. The Commander was found at the steering gear and the men s caps bear the names of sixteen warships. The men’s belongings, such as watches and knives, are being registered for return to relatives. THE PEACE PACT. LONDON, Aug. 20. Mr Kellogg is giving a banquet to the plenipotentiaries on the eve of the signing of the Peace Pact in Paris Immediately after the signing M. Briand will give a banquet while on Aug. 28th. M. Doumergue will hold a reception to l>e followed by the reception of the City of Paris at the Hotel He Ville. SEARCH FOR MISSING MAN. ROME, August 20. A new phase in the search for the six men carried off in the Italia will begin with the arrival at Beverly Strait of Bran/.a, Major Bento, and Captain Sora. Three assistants and two hydroplanes are aboard. Provision depots will be established on the north coast of North East Land. TRIBUTE TO LORD HALDANE. LONDON, August 19. Lloyd George, referring, to Lord Haldane, said: “I always thought he was most harshly treated in the war time and accorded the basest ingratitude. No British statesman more greatly ensured allied success. He organised the territorials, who saved us during the dark winter of 1914. when we had no other troops. He organised the general staff and the expeditionary forces and initiated the officers cadet corps, yet he was treated as if a traitor to Ins native land. It hurt him deeply.
