Three Subjects of Difference Between Old Allies Will be Discussed. PARIS, Jan. 3. Premier Briand and Louis Touchuer, minister for liberated regions, will depart for Cannes this evening. According to an interview appearing in the Paris edition of the London Daily Mall, the promler will hold forth the olive branch of conciliation to the British on his arrival. The premier pleaded for closer ties between France and Great Britain. The key to the whole European situation and to France's security Is a pact of alliance with Great Britain, he said. "France has repeatedly asked for such an alliance and has made known her willingness to enter into it. It will bo the best proof that our naval program is not dire-cted against our British friends. "Let there be a strong pact between Great Britain and France which will gradually absorb other alliance. Other allies can be taken In from time to time, under agreement similar to that in the pact treaty. "But the Franco-British pact must be the basis of all of them,' Three troublesome questions will come up at the supreme council at Cannes, on which the French and British hold divergent views: Diplomatic "Cards." 1. German Indemnity. 2. France's naval aspirations. 3. The situation in the Near East. It I taken as a foregone conclusio nthat M. Rriand will renew the request he made in his recent conference with Premier Lloyd George in London, namely, that allied fiscal commissions of control should b sent into Germany to supervise the finances of the nation. The only n ival issue is the British

hostility to Frances demand for at

big fleet of submarines and light cruisers. As to the Near East, British sentiment has favored the Gre-eks while the French showed sympathy for the Turkish nationalists by entering into a treaty with them. The British recently arranged a large loan for Greece. Pnmier Gounarls of Greece Is already at Cannes to discuss the allies plans for peace Intervention between the Greeks and the Turk nationalists.

Yolcanic activity on the islands north of Hawaii, where the active volcano of Kilauea is located, has not been recorded In historic times. Geologists have estimated the most recent activity on the northern lalands at about 5.000 years ago. Nc intimation is had as to how Prof. Palmer's theory will be received by the scientific world.
