Foreign Secret- ary, tentatively cancelled plans to go to Geneva for the opening Tues- day of the League of Nations Coun- cil meeting, presumably in order to be on hand for the important de- cisions that; must be made. Washington's pronouncement that a token payment of the war debt installment due June 15 would be regarded as a default under the Johnson Act aroused the opposition to demand that the government re- veal its position during the week. Full Reply Expected The Conservatives also have re- quested that Sir John explain the cabinets policy tomorrow, and a full reply is expected by midweek at the latest, They are asking too, what policy is to be followed with regard to armament, 1n view of the uncertainties of the disarmament conference and the strengthening of war forces by other nations. The barrage of questions submit- ted and prepared on these and oth- er problems threatened to bring about the most extensive debate the house has heard in a long time. iullaclous View.

U. S. ULTIIHATUM LONDON, May 13—'I‘he United States has notified Great Britain, that a token payment on the war debts installment due in June, would be regarded as evidence oi default, it was learned officially today. Notification was given through the British Ambassador at Wash- ington, Sir Ronald Lindsay, by sec- retary oi State Cordell Hull. Bi;- Ronald informed his govern- ment of the United States decision in n. lengthy cable received just be- fore noon today. Secretary Hull notified the en- voy that he reported to the Foreign Office that thc Johnson bill makes it necessary for the United States to regard token payments by any nation as default. Under the Johnson bill the money markets of the United States are closed against all na- tions which default on their war debts. The British Ambassador said no concrete settlement proposal had been offered Great Britain by Pral- ldent Roosevelt.

Addressed by Lt.- Col. G. R. Pearks, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., of Ottawa. The Army and Navy Club had as a guest speaker at their regular meeting Saturday night Lit-Col. G. R. Pearks, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., who is attached to the National Defence Headquarters at Ottawa. Col. Pearks in his address dealt with lllg training and tactics of the British army. The speaker has been in England during the past winter where he had the opportunity of meeting the various commanders and seeing the different regiments at work. He was much impressed with the type of British regimental officer. The authorities stress the portance of the ofiicer of today keeping abreast with modern science and nlethods of production and bilslncss administration and to that end have arranged that of- ficers oi the regular army attend economical and scientific courses at various universities. The speaker believed that the education of the young officer is on very much broader terms than it used to be because it is realized that in case of another national emergency regular officers will have to handle citizen soldiers as was the case in the last war and will have to prepare themselves for this task. Another point is that in event of a national war use must be made of equipment which is be- ing employed by commercial firms such as the adoption of commercial vehicles in the hauling of military equipment as guns, etc. This is par- ticularly important because it is realized that there would be a very large, shortage of horses in another war. Col. Pcarks went on to discuss the tactics of the various arms, point- ing out that owing to the increase in the number of machine guns in armies today that the strength of defence is increasing in ratio to that of attack. And that for the latter to achieve decisive results cooperation of all arms is essential. A vote of thanks moved by Col. G. E. Full, seconded by‘ Col. A. E. Ings and Col. D. A. MacKinnon WIL; tendered Col. Pearks by Chair- man R. C. Chandler for his splend- id address which was illustrated by lantern slides. Previous to the war Col. Pearks was a member of the Northwest Mounted Police. At the outbreak of the war he came from the Yukon and enlisted in the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles and went overseas with that unit. He served with them until the summer of I916 when he was transferred to the 5th C.M.R.'s in which unit he came in. touch with a number of Prince Ed- ward Island men. He served lVlth the 5th until the end of ‘l7 and lt was ivlth that unit, he won ills V.C. at the battle of Passchcndaele. He was then given command of the 116th Battalion from Ontario County which position he held un- til the end of the war. He removin- ed in the permanent force of the Canadian army and is now station- ed at National Defence Headquart- ers at Ottawa. Col. Pearks presented an address of a similar nature at n meeting of the United Service Institute in Halifax on Friday and arrived in Charlottetown on Saturday. 8P9!“- lng the week end at the Canadian National Hotel.

In the meantime all hostil Arabian Empire, Aim King Ibn Baud. who changed the name of his country from "the mm- billed kingdoms u! Neld and Helaz" to Saudi Arabia a year ago, had Pee“ "Dresented by his countrymen 1n Europe as determined to add Ye- men to his domain and create a uni- ted Arabian Empire. Dlfferences over the border of the two countries have threatened war for several years. and Ibn Saud, ap- parently convinced that the time was ripe for conquest, seized the im- portant Yemeni port of I-lodeidah on May 3, the army of thc Imam Yahya moving out in disorderly retreat. With the Emir Feisal, heir- to the Saudi throne in command. the Saudi forces occupied the seaport and mov- ed on toward the capital city, Sana. where the Yemeni forces had rallied and prepared for a defense behind brick walls. Conflicting Reports Reports from the war zone during the past week have been conflicting as to the outcome of clasha; between the invaders and defenders. Three divisions of the Saudi army were re- ported to have prepared to attack the capital and force the Imam to relinquish his authority to a son of the Saudi king. Modem army equipment is used by Saudi troops, and King Ibn Saud is widely known for taking advan- tage of western scientific develop- ments in the field of transportation and industry. Since 1934.

' Watch Closely LONDON, May l3.—-(A.P.)-Co‘il- vinced that Great Britain's interests will be affected, at least indirectly, the government tonight watched closely the peace negotiations bc- tween King Ibn Saud of Saudi Ara- bia and the Imam Yahya of Yemen. No information regarding the terms of the armistice which were agreed to. or the final peace terms under discussion had been received, but it was generally expected a nom- inally independent Yemen under Saudi domination would result. In that, event, the buffer between Saudi Arabia and Britain Aden would be greatly weakened, it was pointed out. $50,000 FIRE IN SASK. MAPLE CREEK, Sask.
