GrandConhcil .
r of British Empire
Meets in London
.1 1
Imperial Conference, Which it Pre
sided Over by Premier, Assumes
, . a New Function.. ,
sanawawaana . ft
. LONDON, May IX The Imperial confer
ence, which ha , now practically assumed
tha function of a grand council of the
British empire, opened the third series of
Its quadrennial deliberation today under
the chairmanship of Premier Asqulth at
tha Foreign office. ( ,
Besides the members of. the Imperial
cabinet, fifteen premier and mlniater
from the over-the-aea dominion of the em
pire discussed' such knotty problem as the
co-ordination of the navlea and land force
Tor Imperial defense; the declaration of
London;' an Imperial court of appeals; an
"all-red" transportation line to encircle the
globe, and a future constitution of the
British empire.
The hope la expressed that out of the
discussion of the last topic may come some
definite proposal for the federation of the
empire.
The Anglo-American relationship Is likely
to be discussed In connection with the
question of Imperial defense, as also Is the
part which tha Australasian navies are to
play In that defense, as Australasians,
alnce the visit of the American fleet to
that continent three years ago, have come
to regard America a a possible ally In
the policing of tha Pacific
The fiscal question probably will take a
back seat In the discussion in view of the
determination of the liberal government to
keep the door bolted against anything In
the nature of Imperial preference.
The meetlnga are held In strict privacy,
so that the public will have to be satis
fied with the mere official fragment of
the proceeding given out at the end of
the day'a work. y

Oshkosh and Omaha are o much alike
that Oshkoeh simply' could not let go.
To meet tha Omaha business men a num
