Ultirnatu1l,

London, Sept. 6.-Prime Min
lister Lloyd-George today held con
versations with members of his
cabinet and civil and military au,
thorities in Ireland, relative to the
situation which has arisen over
the latest note to the British gov
ernment from Eamonn DeValera,
the Irish republican leader. The
prime minister met his colleagues
at Inverness, near Gairloch, Scot
land, where Mr.. Lloyd George has
been spending a brief vacation.
The cabinet convenes tomorrow at
Inverness.
Although London newspapers
continue today to counsel patience
and forbearance in dealing with
the Irish question, there were cer-
tain indications that the Irish con-
troversy had virtually reached a
crisis and that tomorrow's meet
ing of the British ministry might
prove historic. There were many
who believed that Mr.. DeValera
and his colleagues at Dublin would
be given a certain Limited time in
which they could either accept or
reject the British governments Of
fer Of dominion status for Ireland
as a basis for a settlement of the
ancient controversy.

Peter Bakoney by a report of a
suicide, they mistook the victim

Police found that Bakoney had
fastened cord about his neck,

basis Of 'the consent Of the gov

the Irish republicans to accept or

The reply Of Eamonn Devalera

seem to reflect desire of the Sim

fold. Michael Collins, minister of

DeValera and commander in chief
OF the republican army, spoke at

Tribute To
Lafayette
By Harding
Dual Anniversary Of
First Battle of Marne
and Birth of Revolu-
tionary Hero

Mount Vernon, Va, Sept. e.
The dual anniversary of the birtt
OF Lafayette and the first battle
Of the Marine was celebrated with
impressive ceremonies today al
the tomb of Washington.
President Harding, unable to be
present, sent a message declaring
that Americas Indebtedness tc
the French soldier was eternal and
praising the "dauntless courage"
of American soldiers in the second
battle OF the Marne. Similar mes
sages were sent by Secretary OF
State Hughes and Myron It. Her
rick, American ambassador to
France.
Tribute to Lafayette
The presidents message said:
ITO General Lafayette In no
small measure the success OF the
revolution was due. With no sor-
did motives, but inflamed with
ardent sympathy and passionate
desire to help them, he espoused
the cause of the struggling colon
les and hastened to their support.
He sought no selfish end and ask
ed no pay; but found his reward
in the thanks of congress and the
undying affection OF generations
OF American citizens whose graft
itude has been and always will be
suitably shown on all appropri-
ate occasions. Not only did he
render brilliant personal mill
tary service, but through his in
strumentality much needed III
nancial assistance and reinforce
ments OF troops were obtained for
the Americans. Our indebtedness
to him is eternal.
Reciprocity Shown
Similarly, nearly one hundred
and fifty years after, these Unit
ed States. grown to nation OF
more than 100000, 900 free men,
women and children, disclaiming
any material advantages for them
selves, sent armies Of their youth
and gave largely Of their wealth,
that liberty and that freedom
which Lafayette cherished and
espoused should be assured to
France. We are pleased to believe
and we know, that these armies
took no mean part in securing
that ultimate victory by which the
integrity of France and human
rights we're preserved. BY their
prowess, their dauntless courage
and their resolute valor, they
checked the German advance at
Chateau Thierry and Balleau /
Wood In the second battle of the
Marne and started that memorable
retreat of the German hordes
which a few months later ended
IN final defeat.
"The friendly and cordial re-
lations which exist between the
United States and France. do not
therefore rest upon mere senti-
or selfish interest; but
rather are they built on the firm
of historic mutual SER
vice which cannot be shaken"
