Ruby Molene Edwards.

Ruby Molene Edwards, the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Ed
wards, was born Jan. IA, 1917; de-
parted this life Nov. Is, 1921, aged
four years, ten months and one day.
Little Ruby was sick or pneumonia
only few days. She leaves behind
a heart-broken mother and father
and host of relatives to mourn her
death.
Tenderly they laid her away to
await the coming of the Saviour
when the family will be reunited.
How they love her; how they will
miss her. But the Savior's love is
far more blessed. He bade her come
to his arms, he who said Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
of Heaven"
"A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled;
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given"
Tho the little body slumDers here,
the soul is safe in Heaven.
Weep not. Be comforted in the
thought that your baby is with the
angels, safe in heaven.
Prepare yourselves to meet her
where no more sad goodbyes are
said.
The little body was laid to rest in
Antioch Cemetery to await the resur-
rection morn.-Written by an aunt.

IRISH PEACE
Bitter Statement of De

Cabinet Meet
Sees War In Imposition Of Pro-
posals by Force-Wants No
Camouflaged Ultimatum =
Statement Adds to Gravity
of Situation

Dublin, Sept. 6.--(By the Associat-
ed Press On the eve of meeting
of the British cabinet at Inverness to
take action. on the Irish problem,
canon de Valera, the Irish republican
leader, today quite unexpectedly is
sued a statement to the press in
est desire for peace, declared that
peace could never be founded on
make-believe.
Let US lay aside the camoufiage
and put away the hypocrisy" he said.
IF England is issuing an ultimatum,
let it be an ultimatum."
War. not peace, would be the outcome
of the imposition of Engiand's pro-
posals by force, according to Mr.. DE
Valera, who went on to assert that
England had no basis in right for a
single demand she was making on Ire
land and would not dare to make such
demands upon "a power even nearly
as strong S herself.
1t was announced earlier in the day
by the Sim Fein leaders that there
was nothing to communicate; then
suddenly came a call, and a typewrit-
ten statement was given out. Though
bitterness is to be observed in the
pronouncement, it is noted that it does
not amount to a rupture of the nego-
so nj oIa ut
this critical moment is believed to add
to the gravity of the situation.
A communication was received by
wire today from Robert c. Barton. the
Sim Fein courier, who carried the
Dali Eireann's reply to Premier Lloyd
George and is still in Scotland, fore
casting the possible result of the
cabinet meeting, and it is suggested
that Mr.. De Valera's statement was
made in consequence of information
contained in Mr.. Barton's message.
The newspapers suggestion of the i'm
position by the premier of a time
limit has been badly received. Arthur
Griffith and others resent any at
tempt to force the pace. There is no
sign, however. that the Sim Fei1
leaders regard the position as criti-
cal; they talk as if they had months
of argument before them and as
though there was no possibility of the
termination of the truce.
The British reply is expected to
be delivered tomorrow night to MIR.
Barton at Inverness, and in that event
it is likely to be made public before
the end of the week

learns from u person in close touch
with Premier 'Lloyd-George that the
