Chautauqua, y. Y, Aug. 19.-Sur-

declared today in an address at the
Chautauqua institute.

'the rental paid by the govern

months, the road actually earned a
net operating income of 1866 800 900,
which was 1915, ZOO, 900 less than
the rental the government would

NO MORE CONCESSIONS
Premier Puts Response
bility of Renewing War
Upon Sim Fein.

London, Aug. 19.-By the
Associated Press.)-The Brit
ish government in its Irish
peace offer had conceded every
thing it was possible to con-
cede, Premier Lloyd George
declared to the house of COM
mons today in his expected
statement on the Irish peace
negotiations. Ii embodied the
largest measure of freedom
ever offered Ireland, he said,
and he hoped the Irish leaders
would not reject it, land take
the responsibility of renewing
conflict which would be robbed
OF all glory and all gratitude
by its OTershadOWing horror
The prime minister's words
were paralIeled in the house of
lords by Lord CurzOn, the
foreign secretary, as to the
governments offer having al
ready gone to the limit. All
that could be given without
compromising the safety of the
realm, the sovereignty of the
crown, and the dignity of the
empire had been offered, he
said.
London. Aug. 19.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press THE British govern
ment, declared Premier Lloyd
George today, in making its settle
ment proposals to Ireland. had de-
terms into the letter to Eamonn de
Valera, without keeping anything
back, and the sequel had proved, he
said, that it was right in adopting
that COURSE
He had heard no suggestions
from any part of the world except
Ireland. he remarked, that the pro-
posals had not gone to the limit of
possible concession.
Il want TO make it clear" the
prime minister continued, that the
did not put forth hag-
CLING terms, but put forward every
thing they could possible TO pur-
chase peace and the good will OF
the Irish people. In Ireland itself.
so far as l can see, the doubt is not
so much as to the terms but as to
whether the government really
means them.
THAT is a question of working
Out the terms-of elucidation and
and not a changing OF
he terms. The outline can not be
altered nor the basis changed

house is about to separate, and the

SOVIET MAKES
HARD EFFORT TO
HELP CHILDREN
Little Ones Are First
Care of Govern
71eT7t.
BY EDO TREAT ONEI.
written for The United Press
Copyright 1921 by The United
Press

Reval, Aug. 1S.-With all Rus
sia burdened by the great famine
the situation of the country's chill
dren is the happiest. Everyone
who comes out of Russia must
agree that the soviet government is
making every effort to care for
them efficiently.
1t is characteristic that the very
first problem taken up by the
famine relief commission was that
of saving the children of the Volga
region. With the children the states
program come nearest realization.
Over crowded Moscow, called up
on to sacrifice and to give up parts
of its scanty foodstock for relief
of outsiders is preparing to receive
thousands of Russia's refugee chill
dren into homes where the family
payok (ration) will have to be
stretched to pitiful thinness to in
clude another member.
1t is interesting to note that the
people of Moscow and Petrograd
seem quite won over to the idea of
food centers and child welfare in
stitutions. Those who were hostile
even a year ago now nave DuL one
complaint to make:
There is not enough to go
round" Even if the father and
mother receive one meal daily at
the factory or shop and the chill
dren are fed at school the house
must be kept and the clothing wash
ed. Some one must spend several
hours weekly waiting in line for
the rations assignment. One moth
eP told me two full days a week
were spent in collecting the food.
Families where there are young
children often have an easier time
of it. 1 know one young couple who
live very creditably, thanks to the
rations of their son, aged 2, which
are always more promptly and fully
delivered.

to work under high pressure in
order to dispose of all suggestions
before 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon, when a final vote will be
taken.
Some of the proposed amend
ments deal with changes in phras-
eology only, but others propose sub
stantial changes, including one for
elimination OF the suggested annual
license tax of $40 on vendors of
soft drinks. Another would re-
qulre individual tax payers to pay
12R per cent on profits from the
sale of capital assets, If such profits
and the tax payers net income was
In excess of $29 900, whereas in the
bill, as reported, they would pay Is

HARDING NOT To
CHOOSE WILSON
Ex.President Eliminated as Demo-
cratic Delegate to Disarma-
ment Conference.

Washington, Aug. 19.-CUnited
Press)-Woodrow Wilson and those
who supported him most strongly
in his fight for the League of Ma
tions have been eliminated in con-
sideration for Democratic members
of the American delegation to the
disarmament coference, 1t was
learned today.
In administration circles it was
made plain that Wilson, who was
suggested by Senator King OF Utah,
would not be named. At the same
time it was regarded as unlikely
that President Harding would go 10
the other extreme and select any
democrat who openly opposed the
league. because of the danger OF
alternating the Democratic support
he is now receiving on the confer
ence.
The process of elimination has so
far resulted in making the names
of Senator Underwood of Alabama
and Senator Pomerene OF ONO
stand out as the most likely OF
Democratic candidates. Harding is
said to be considering the appoint
ment of one of them. as this, &C
cording to all indications, would
please the majority of the Demo-
cratic party.
1t is now possible that the ses-
sion of the conference VIII De the

The warning had it's effect, but
the crowd remained outside the Jail
nearly an hour and a half, still
threatening an attack while Sher-
iff Rosenthal, Chief Warden Boland
and the three others stood guard
with shotguns.
Dies and Gomez were held in
$4,000 bail each yesterday and
Andrews was to be arraigned to-
day. All three have been identi-

William EIdredge, as the men who
held them up and attacked Miss
Butler at Buzzard's bay, early in

Today was the second early
morning threat of violence against

attempted yesterday to get John
Dies from the Wareham lookup.
He was brought to the Jail here
after the Wareham police had dis
persed the crowd by firing over
their heads.
