DE VALERA QUERIES

London, Sept. 1S-(By the Asso-
,;o,od Press)-Eanlor de Valera, the
,rish republican leader, after a meet
,rr Of his cabinet today, sent another
telegram to Premier Lloyd George in
which declaring that Sim Fem had
~ thought at any time of asking for
,bc accordance of any conditions
,rccodent to a conference, he re-
oree-s the premier to say whether
t;s letter Of September : was intend
ri 10 he demand for surrender or
n invitation to a conference free on
no,b sides and without prejudice
sh,c12 an agreement not be reached
u the latter case Mr.. De Valera
.,ates nat he would confirm the sim
1jp acccptance OF the invitation,
AVID the Irish delegates would meet
the representatives of the govern

Nr De Valera also suggests the
coAc|nsion of "a treaty of accommo-
nation ard aSSOcldtloil' 'Api N'''ii47
nc belief that this would end the
d.snlto forever and enable the two
rations to settle down in peace"
The nature of the message from
Mr. De Valera necessitates a further
exchange Of kilograms, unless some
eort of ultimatum is forthcoming.
MANY Of the London papers nave
commented on the danger of the
,onou diplomacy" involved in this
n,blic exchange of messages, which,
thew point out. makes it exceedingly
difficult for either side to recede from
the position adopted.
papcrs friendly to the irish cause
ike the Westminster Gazette and the
Manchester Guardian admit that the
nyemiers last invitation to Mr.. De
Valera as the chosen spokesman" of
his pooplc. was very fair offer,
which Mr.. Dc Valera would be wise
IN accent without more ado. They
also advise Mr. De Valera to "forego
the dangerous pleasure of waving the

Philadelphia, Sept William T.
Tilden III of this city is again ma

6-1. in the final round of the 40th an

ISOLATION in what is said to be the
record time of 4S minutes.
Tilden rose to super-heights in his
play this afternoon. The speed and
accuracy of both his service and re-
turn strokes so daZZled and smoth-
cred Johnson that the latter was
placed in such a defensive position
that he never for a moment appeared
to have even fighting chance.
Tilden now has two legs upon the
cup. placing him en- level with
Maurice T. Mclaughlin, who won IN
1912 and 1919 and r. Norris Will
liams, winner in 1914 and 1916, and
William NJ. Johnston, holder in 1915
and 1919. William A. Larncd and
r. Lindley Murray have also won the
cup once. the play dating back to 1911
when it was placed in competition.
1t is doubtful If any tennis player
in the modern history of the game
could have hurled back Tilden this
afternoon. Certainly no such display
of terrific service, driving and smash
ing has been seen in recent seasons
While Johnson's comparatively soft
game may have paved the way for
this display of cyclonic tennis, the

Geneva, Sept 19-(By The Asso-
disarmament of the council of the
League of Nations in its full report
ington conference can better deal
with the question of naval disarm-
ament than the league and that it
can be more effectively secured by
common agreement among the great
powers.
The discussion Of this subject by
the assembly commission thus far
is in line with this conclusion in
volving a slow but sure policy. With
regard to- land ornaments also it
appears that the sa me policy has
the upper hand. 1t is probable that
the question will come up before the
assembly on that basis.
Mankind is still too far removed
from the ideals of peace to make
possible at present the solution of
the question of disarmament" is the
final conclusion of the councils
commission.
The replies TO the assembly's re-
quest that the governments limit
their expenditures for the purpose
of ornaments for two years to the
amount of this years budget are
quoted in support of the commits
sion's contention.
Only Bolivia, Guatemala and China
adopted this recommendation I'M
conditionally. Belgium, Australia
and Canada accepted it with the
reservation contained in the recon-
mendation itself which was that any
contribution of troops asked by the
league should not be included in the
total. Great Britain, New Zealand,
India and Italy accepted it with the
reservation that the recommended
ton must be adopted by all the
other powers.
Holland agreed. on the under
standing that account be taken of
the rising prices. Denmark, Nor

afford a fair indication of military
strength.
Finland and Poland declared that
special geographical and political
situations made it impossible to
agree to the leagues plan. Greece
pleaded state of war. Turkey and
.Iugoslavia found the condition of
internat ional affairs unfavorable for
the adoption of the leagues recon-
mendation. Japan deemed it ad-
visable to await the conclusion of
the councils plan for disarmament.
The replies of Sweden, South
Africa and Brazil were regarded as
inconclusive, While Austria and
Bulgaria pointed out that their mill
tary expenditure was fixed by the
peace treaties.
OF the 81 replies received, II were
classed as favorable. seven as I'M
favorable and three as vague. The
absence of the united States, Ger
many and Russia from the league
constitutes one of the greatest Of
the obstacles, in the opinion of the
commission, which adds that the
differences of opinion aroise frsm
the varying policies of the different
countries. varying circumstances
and changing conditions from year
