Urges Common Basis.

Your letter seems To US, unfortu-
nately, tO show no such progress II
you are prepared to examine how far
with the aspirations you present will
be happy To meet you and your col
leagues.
In demanding that Ireland be
treated rs a separate sovereign power
you are ad,anclng claims which the
plicitly disowned.
The British government offered Ire
land all that OConnell, Thomas md
Davis asked, and more; we met the
unqualified demand that we recognize
Ireland as foreign power.
I'VE do not believe that II perma
nent reconciliation between Britain and
Ireland can ever be attained with
out recognition of the physical and
historical iuter,iependence which makes
u complete political and economic sep
aratlon impructicable."
Under the settlement which We
outlined, ireland would control every
nerve and tber of its national exist
ence. She would he free In ever,

opment

sovereign though they be, enjoy no
such range of rights.

pletely fulfill your wish that the
principle of government by the con.
sent of the governed be the broad
guiding principle Of the settlement" +"
1--WE can discuss no settlement
which involves refusal on the part
OF Ireland 10 accept the Invitation of
free, equal and loyal partnership
IN the British commonwealth under
one sovereign"
"We are reluctant TO precipltate the
issue. but prolongation OF the pres
ent state of affairs II dangerous and
action Is being taken In various al.
rectlons which, II continued. will pref
udice the truce and ultimately lead
to It's termination. This would be de.
plorable.'
Won't Allow Secession.
The British premier reiterated in
unequivocal terms that the British
government can consider no settlement
that means lreland's secession from
the British crown.

Viscount Bryce of England, in a
recent address before the Institute

ed the results already achieved by
the League and his belief in its fu.
ture usefulness. Since the submis-

The former President of Korea is
in the United States and intends to
get place in the disarmament con-
ference if possible. The pressure is
becoming great to widen the scope
of the conference at Washington, and
include other international questions
beside disarmament. France also
seems to be using her influence in
the same direction. The United
States is partly responsible for this,
as she insisted on the discussion of
problems on the Pacific. There are
dangers in such procedure, how
ever, that disarmament may be side
tracked entirely in spite of the fact
that it is the only hope for solving
the financial situation of the world.

New Treatment
for .Lepers in
Philippine Islands

Manila, p. T., Oct. 2O-(By MALI
The extension OF the ethyl-ester
treatment to all lepers in the Philip
pine Islands is the chief problem en-
gazing the attention Of DR.. Victor G.
Heiser, chief Of the Far Eastern sec
ton, of the Rockefeller Foundation.
who is making an investigation OF
health conditions in the archipelago
for that organization.
DR., Heiser has endeavored to as
certain the exact quantity OF chaul-
moogra oil in the Philippine Islands
and lis also looking into the possibili-
ty OF obtaining a sufficient supply to
treat all of the 5000 persons suffer-
ing from leprosy on Culion Island,
where the lepers of the Phil1ppine
group are confined.
General Leonard Wood, who be-
came governor general of the Philip
pines last week, has made up his
mind that all Of the lepers at the
colony shall receive the treatment, II
it is possible" said DR.. Heiser. "He
made this announcement in a pub
lie address recently. I am looking
this work. not only from the local
standpoint but from worldwide as
pect. 1t is possible that the raw
material for the oil can be found in
the Philippines, and If that should
prove to be the case, the island will
have another industry and might
even supply the world.
'There are at present more than
100000 lepers in the world. India
alone has more than 100000 and
Japan about $4,000. Some of the
South American countries also have
large numbers. The treatment re-
quires about so liters of oil per 1000
patients a month. so that the posi-
bilities of the chaulmoogra oil in
dustry are apparent.
1.-THE oil is extracted from a nut
growing on the hydnocarpus tree. a
variety of which is found on the
Island of Nindanao. We do not
know, however, whether the Philip
pine tree yields the kind Of oil that
has the proper medical properties for
the successful treatment of lepro-
sy That will have to be determined
by a thorough analysis which only
| high class chemist can perform"
A shipment of some 700 pounds or
about 800 liters of chaulmoogra oil,
left Calcutta for Manila few days
ago. Cablegrams also have been
sent to various parts of the world in
an attempt to obtain sufficient sup
ply for giving treatment to all the
lepers at Culion. Among the lepers
confined at Culion are five former
American soldiers. They have not
been included in the 800 or 400 who
are receiving the chaulmoogra oil
treatment, but with the meager PEN
sion which one of the ex-soldiers
draws from the United States gov
eminent, the five are able to buy
small amount of medicine and thus
obtain infrequent treatment.

dren Of North Augusta and the
guardian of the house of Edwin Tay-
lor of that town, is dead. This large
and handsome dog had been ill for
some time and Tuesday he died.
"Prince" was large Scotch collie
dog weighing about 1876 pounds. He
would have been 10 years old next
February and had always lived with
the Taylor family. He was known
by everyone in that vicinity and it
had been no uncommon thing to
have automobiles step and the occu-
pants ask permission to take his
picture His favorite resting place
was under a small evergreen tree on
the front lawn. The people that
passed would speak to him and the
children often stopped to play with
their great friend.
He was a very intelligent dog, as
beside his duties as watchdog he was
always ready to go to the pasture
with the cows in the morning and to
bring them home in the evening.
When bringing them home he would
separate the young stock. which was
to be left In the pasture. from the
cows that were to be brought to the
barn, and none of the former were
allowed to go with the COWS.
He was sick for more than a
month and the school children going
to or from school would often call
to see their old friend. Prince" had
many friends and he will be sadly
missed by every one of them.
