GENERAL. United Press Association. Washintgon, November 22. Sir George Pdish, editor of the Statist, and a great financial authority, has been suddenly recalled to England supposedly to confer on the American financial crisis. It is understood that the British bankers wish a personal explanation from Sir George Paish regarding the creation of the twenty millions sterling credit fund at the Bank of England to protect American securities, which may be sold when the London Exchange opens. Captain Decker, of the Tennessee, reports that the firing on the United States warships by the Turks in Asia Minor was not a hostile act, but was merely intended to give warning, and to prevent the Tennessee entering the harbor at Smyrna, which Turkey had declared closed.

Great Britain has declined to agree to any modification of the embargo on Australian wool. American manufacturers still think that when the'British army needs have been satisfied the United States may bo allowed to enter the market, as the supply is badly required. i New York, November 21. is still despatching budgets of lies throughout the United States by means of the Saville wireless. The latest samples include alleged statements of the London Times, acknowledging enormous Russian losses; that the rebel army had surrounded Bloemfontein ; a Soudanese rising at Alexandria; and serious British defeats off the Arabian coast. The American Press daily publishes these reports without comment, and several violently proGerman papers publish them regularly in the Western States, the authorities not objecting.

Tire Brtiish and French Embassies at Washintgon are regularly issuing bulletins, with the object of counteracting the German mendacity campaign.
