ert G. Barton. II is not expected that
canon de Valera will attend the con-
ference, but he and others will be
available Immediately for consultation
by the Irish representatives"
Lloyd Georges invitation will be
considered by De Valera and his col
leagues in secret session next Wednes-
day. At that time, it is assumed, a
decision will be reached as to accept
ance or rejection of the invitation.
New Mandate Required
1t was understood when the repub-
lican Parliament adjourned at Dublin
recently that it had conferred plenary
powers on Mr.. de Valera and his col
leagues. The note from Lloyd George,
however, is asserted to have brought
a factor into the situation which made
it necessary for the Parliament to meet
and widen the scope of the mandate
it gave its leaders.
The members of the Parliament, it is
pointed out, took the oath of allegiance
to "the Irish Republic and the govern
meht Of the Irish Republic" and
pledged themselves not to "yield volun-
tary support to any pretended govern
land hostile or inimicai thereto"
precedent, that there could be no sep
aration of Ireland from the British EN-
pire, which was laid down by Lloyd
George, would, in effect, call upon Mr..
de Valera and members of his ministry,
creatures of the Parliament, to recog-
nize a government, authority or
power" in Ireland other than that of
the Dahl Eireann if they accepted his
invitation. It would also seem that
they must be especially empowered to
meet the Prime Minister on the basis
laid down in his latest note.

weeks to construct was employed
Thursday night in effecting the escape
of some fifty interned Sim Feiners

surrounded by several rows of barbed
wire ENHANCEMENT and is heavily
guarded by soldiers.
The prisoners dug the tunnel under
the barbed wire, using some Of the
flooring of their huts for props. The
most difficult part was to elude the
guard. This was done by creating

Another Failure
In Search for
Buried Treasure

The story Of the search for the pi-
rate treasure buried on Cocos Island.
ar uninhabitcd srot in the Pacific
Ocean, was told yesterday by Capt
William +. McGrath, who was III
command of the two-masted schoon-
er Adventures, which made the voy-
age to the far-awaY spot, only to find
that landslides had covered the place
where the gold and jewels are sup
posed TO be under 60 feet of earth.
Capt. McGrath was a passenger on
the United Fruit Company's steamer
San Bruno, which arrived at Long
Wharf from Port Limon and Cristo-
bal.
The expedition was financed by G.
T. Seabury of New York, who, with
his wife were on board. The vessel
was bought at Mnrblehead and the
start was made from New York in
August. 1920. She put into Savan-
nah, whore she remained until June
II last, when the passage to the Pa
cific was resumed. The Advcntur-

BOUGHT Chart of Sailor

Capt. MtGrath had the map of the
island showing, on scale drawing,
the exact location of the hidden gold.
He bought the chart from a Swedish
sailor who had bought il from an old
Spanish whnler who found the
crnmpled up bit of paper in the bar
rel of an old flintlock rife which,
a. a boy he had taken into the woods
to hunt. Later the old whalesman
went to the Arctic, married squaw,
ana remained there c1 years A
missionary vessel on it's yearly visit
carried supply Of reading material |
to the lonely inhabitants. and the old
whaier found in one of the maya
zines a story OF the hidden treasure
at Cocos Island
The map had been preserved un-
der a canvas cover on n old Bible.
This was brought out and the man
and his squaw wife journeyed by
canoe and on foot to Moose Factory.
The Swedish sailor bought the
map and sent a piece of the paper
to Toronto, where it was tested by
Government experts who reported
that 1t was made about 1915. The
map finally came into the possession
of Capt. McGrath, who interested Mr.
Scabury.

in locating the spot where the treas.
ure was hidden. but it was covered

National Mail Receptacle and House
Number Census Day

Office of the Postmaster General,
Washington. Oct. 3, 1921.
If expeditions and efficient city
delivery service is to be accorded it
is essential that all buildings to
which mail is delivered be properly
numbered and equipped with private
mail receptacles. Without house
numbers carriers are delayed in serv-
ing the routes and errors in delivery
unayoidably occur. especially when
substitutes are on duty. This con-
dition. coupled with the lack of mail
receptncles. inevitably impairs eff
cheney and delays delivery with a re-
sultant public inconvenience and
loss.
To correct this evil it has been de-
cided to conduct q nationwide cam
paign with a view to having every
building properly numbered and
equipped with a suitable receptacle
or opening in the door.
AS preliminary step, on October
10, 1921, the postmaster Of every
post Office having city or village de-
livery service will require his car.
riers to report the address Of every
dwelling and place of business on
their routes not so numbered and
equipped.
The postmaster will then COM
municate with the owners or occu-
pants urging upon them the import
nnce Of providing a proper number
or suitable receptacle, or both as the
case may be. if they desire the
prompt and safe delivery Of their
mail and wish to cooperate with their
government in providing more
efficient and economical mail SER
vice. No particular style or type of
receptacle is required by the depart
ment. 1t may consist of either a
slot In the door. or a conveniently
located box Of any suitable material.
House numbers should Of course con-
form to the system and style adopted
by the municipal authorities.

elimination Of food and tissue waste

So in selecting a simple remedy TO
regulate and assure proper bowel
action, you should not use harsh or

how much has been claimed for
them. You should choose some we'll
