'R|SHPEACE PLANS
 AR[ OFF;; FARLEY
 STILL IS POSSIBLE
Lloyd George Says Ireland Delegates Cannot Be Re- ,ceived as Separate
 Statesmen
By Associated Press

London, september 15.-The ar arrangements for the proposed Irist peace conference are cancelled bu the negotiations still are not rup tured. That in brief is the story of todays unexpected developments Eamonn Deyalera, the Irish republ can leader, having reaffirmed hi' claim to enter the conference as tn representative of an independent SOY ereign state, Premier LioyA oieors declares that such admission is inn possible He announces the cancella- ton of the arrangements for con ference and the necessity of his con sulting his colleagues on the subject The premier is careful not to close the door to possible resumption ot the negotiations. On the contrary he gives DeValera and his supporters the amplest time and opportunity l. reconsider their position. He de scribes himself even as laid up at Gairloch, necessitating few day delay, although up to the present nothing has been heard in London of any indisposition on the part o Lloyd George.
 Declaring that there was but one answer to a claim which would be equivalent to Great Britain's ac knowledging Irelands right to ne gotiate a treaty of closer association with some other foreign power, he mildly reproaches the Irish peo pie for taking no single step to mee the generous advances of the Brit ish government.
 The whole tone of the letter, II fact. reveals that the premier still retain hope of some more favorable development Incidentally the prem iers letter clears up the mystifyine events of the last few days, showing that Devalera's reply was taken by McGrath and Roland to Gairloch bu the premier tried unsuccessfully tt persuade modification of its tenor and offered to regard 1t as not hay ing been delivered.
 The fact that Deyalera and hi colleagues failed to take advantag of this offer is considered an ad verse factor and lends a serious as. pect to the situation
 The prospect that there vii. be nt move from either side for a few days It is not worthy that in the fina exchanges the traditional diplomatic methods of sending notes by courier were dropped in favor of the nor expeditions telegram lines.

Washington, September 15.-- tSpe- ciaD.-The population of the United States was enlarged by net increase of 557,o00 immigrants during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1921, ac- cording to the official figures of the department of immigration which have just been compiled A total of e05.22S immigrants were admitted. while 247,71S departed with the intention of remaining in other countries. The bulk of the aliens, who came to make America their home emigrated from Europe. As that continent supplied 652.364 of all the immigrants More than ne-eighth of the Incoming aliens were Hebrews, while the Italians were second in point of numbers.
 The records of the departn- ent show that influx of immi grants grew less appreciable during the late spring and early summer months ot 1921, while there was substantial movement of aliens toward the other side. increasing unemployment in the United States and the lowering of wages are reported to be two of the outstanding factors in this change in the tide of travel.
 Movement Evenly Balanced
 The data on aliens show that the inward and outward movement of the non immigrants, foreign visitors and aliens who have been in the United States within one year. were about evenly balanced,

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory


You remember in the last story Puss
had landed in China and had met a little
Chinese boy named Tee Sin. Wei. as he
and Puss rode along on the great farm
huHalo toward the little Matched cottage
where Tee Sin lived with his mother and
father. Puss looked at the fields OF fam
Ing poppy flowers which were in full
bloom and lay about the shabby little
gray house like red carpet.
| guess he thought by this time that
China was almost like a flower garden
for Just beyond the poppy fields wild
flowers grew IN all directions, fragrant
pink clover, yellow rape and golden but
tereups. and underneath the old bridge
which they had just crossed were red
geranlums and forget-me- nots and Wild
roses of crimson and white pink and
yellow.
But as they came near the little cot
tage, Tee STA turned to one side and
stopped beside some lovely blue-blos
somed kiri shrubs. Then he pointed to a
huge bunch Of evergreen that hung over
the front door
I have a little brother" said Tee Sin
"but until he is a month old no one but
my mothers nurse may enter our house.
That is the reason we hang the bunch Of
fir over the door"
Well. after that Tee Sin brought out
his kite. for Chinese 'oys are as skill
ful as japanese boys In kite flying. and
when he and Puss We're tired OF that.
Httle Tee Sin told Puss to follow him. and
together they ran down the hill, past the
hawthorn trees that grew IN little clumps
Mt the edge Of the road, where the sweet
throated cuckoos sang so merrlly until
they came to q good sized pond. Here in
a little thatched cottage lived a little
Chinese boy friend with his old, lame
father.
And then this little boy, whose name
was Oyama. showed Puss how he raised
ducks. Near the pond wns a small hut
with a very low roof. and IN the Summer
time the sun beat down so fercely that
it Matched the eggs. which were spread
upon the floor. and the little ducks would
come out of the shells and waddle out to
swim on the pond.
Look in and see" said Tee Sin to
Puss. SO little Puss Junior peeped in
side the hut and saw the eggs wrapped
in coarse napkins on the door. And this
made Puss laugh, for he had always seen
Mrs. Duck sitting on her eggs IN a nest
until the little ducks came out of the
shells.
Well. after that, Puss remembered that
the Stork had told him always to return
to the Magic Boat before night. SO Puss
asked Tee Sin to show him the way back
TO the seashore. The Magic Boat was
