pulp REMEDY
Col. Graves Says United States
and Canada Should Hold
Conferences at Once.
tey Associated Press.)

New London, n. Y. Aug. 25.-Col-
onel Henry s. Graves. until recently
chief of the United States forest SER
vice, suggested to the Society for the
Protection of New Hampshire Forests
at meeting here today, that repre-
sentatives of the United States and
Canada should hold conference to
settle the controversy between those
two countries over Canadian pulp
wood.
Colonel Graves reviewed the dispute
over the question whether the timber
on the crown lands of the eastern Ca
madam provinces, upon which Canada
has laid an embargo, shall be made
available for American paper mills
lie said that the passage in congress
of the Underwood resolution which
had as its object the bringing of pres
sure upon Canada to lift the embargo
in order to favor American manufac-
turers caused acute resentment in
Canada, although the resolution failed
to receive the presidents signature
Colonel Graves said that the present
situation indicated that the matter
would be pursued further, and if not
handled in constructive manner
might easily cause an : unfortunate
misunderstanding with Canada.
Il have no doubt that as a result
of this conference measure of relief
to meet the acute situation in news
print could be granted by Canada
without any danger to her future in
terests. The American industry would
know exactly what it can count upon
and adjust itself accordingly. The Ca
nadians would be able TO go forward
without fear of sudden retaliatory ac-
tion such as was proposed by our last
congress, and a possible cause of in
ternational friction would be removed"

British Premier Says Irish Ma

tey Associated Press,

Lucerne, Switzerland, Aug 25.-Pre-
mier Lloyd George, in statement to-
day concerning the case of Lord Mayor
MacSweeney of Cork, whose condition
is grave because of his hunger strike
in Brixton Jail, London, said in sub
stance that whatever the consequen-
ces, the government could not take the
responsibility of releasing MacSween-
ey.
The premier declared he regretted
MacSweeney had decided to starve
himself, but said that if he were re-
leased then all the other hunger strik-
ers would have to be released.
"A law which is a respecter of per-
sons is no law" Mr.. Lloyd Georges
statement continued. IF the cabinet,
therefore, departed from it's decision,
a complete breakdown of the whole
machinery of law and government in
Ireland inevitable would follow.
THE release some weeks ago of
hunger strikers in ireland was fol-
lowed by an outburst of cruel murder
and outrage.
4 may add that every invitation to
moment the spokesmen for Irish ma
tionalists, a peaceful settlement Of Ire
land has been spurned by them. The
latest offer of the government made in
parliament on the date of it's adjourn
ment, has been scornfully rejected by
the leaders and we have been driven
to fight against the claim for COM
plete secession of Ireland, North and
South, from the British empire. This
claim we can never recognize"
Cork. Aug 25.-A message from
Lord Mayor MacSweeney's sister say
ing MacSweeney collapsed this aIler-
noon and his wife was urgently sum-
moned to Brixton prison, London,
