'Mr. Gompers became so imbued

america has grown in greatness
since her existence as a Republic due
TO this one fact alone, that she had
a free hand to carry on her own bus
mess and develop her own resources,
but the jealousy of England became
so great at our prosperity that the
league of nations was the scheme to
give England control OF our beloved
America. Mr.. Gompers consented TO
all those things 1t is not difficult
to conjecture as TO why he did. The
British labor party are a militant and

IRELAND WARNED To
RECONSIDER Terms
LLOYD GEORGE STANDS PAT IN
ANSWER TO DE VALERA.
IRISH PRESIDENT.
QUOTES WORDS OF LINCOLN
British Premier Firmly Reiterates the
Standpoint ireland Cannot BE
Permitted to Withdraw
From the Empire.

London.-David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, sent a prompt
rejoInder to the letter Of canon Do
Valera, President of the Irish Repub-
lie, which rejected the British gov
ernment's terms for peace In Ireland.
The premier's note constituted
firm reiteration Of the governments
former standpoint. that ireland could
not be permitted to withdraw from the
empire. He said he thought he had
made It clear in conversations and pre-
vious communications that the govern
ment "can discuss no settlement which
involves refusal on the part Of Ire
land to accept a free, equal and loyal
partnership in the British common
wealth under one sovereign"
Lloyd George, In concluding his note,
still held open the door for further ne
gotIations with De Valera and his COL
leagues, II they are prepared to ex-
anime how far the governments con-
sideratlon "can be recOnciled with the
aspirations you represent" He de-
clared, however, that the government
''cOuld not prOlOng a mere exchange
| Of notes"
In his communication Lloyd George
preserved the same friendly tone that
characterized his former letters to Dc
Valera. In this last note he buttressed
the governments standpoint by quota
lions from Irish patriots and Abraham
Lincoln. He warned De Valera that q
needless prolongation Of the negOtia-
lions would serve to play into the
hands Of the extremists, who. he de
ciared, were only anxious to wreck
the negotiations and terminate the
truce.
] A hopeful aspect Of the situation, al
It is viewed in London political circles
is that neither De Valera, In his latest
communication, nor Lloyd George, has
yet closed the door on the negotiations

Obstinate silence on Fart OF North

London.-The Irish negotiations now
have reached the critical stage IN the
British view, as mirrored by the great
majority OF newspapers, including those
previously supporters Of the home rule
and those advanced liberal newspa-
pers such as the Daily News and the
Manchester Guardian, which In the
past have gone almost as far as the
Sim Fem.
They think the Sim Fein declara'
tions Of general principles have gone
far enough and that the time has come
for dropping declarations Of principles
and getting down to the business OF
arranging the terms, IL the Sim Fem
proposes to negotiate the proposals
which the government offered to set
forth in detail in Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges first letter.
The British find 1t difficult to ana
lyze Mr.. de Valera's exact position
from whatever light his latest notes
throw upon 1t. There Is the belief, or
at least the hope. that the policy OF the
Irish republican cabinet will be, while
constantly affirming Ireland's claim
TO Independence, to negotiate at the
same time terms for dominion status
under the new watchword Of consent
of the governed"-in other words, thai
while clinging to the assertion OF the
Inherent right OF independence. The
cabinet will consent to accept do
minion status, bargaining to the las
ditch for the nearest approach to IN
dependence possible.
II Is hoped here that the final soiu
ton may rest upon referendum o
the Irish people. The New Statesman
which Is the most solid organ OF tn
labor movement and q constant ant
well informed friend OF Ireland, rs
serts that four-fifths Of the Irish peopl
would vote for the acceptance OF tn
British terms.

UNITEJ STATES PLANNING TO
WITHDRAW ARMY ON RHINE
Maintenance Of $4,000 Occupation
Troops Costing 81 ,ooo, 900 Month
and Germany Owes $3.50, 600, 900.

WashingtOn.-When the Senate OF
the United States and the German
Richstag have ratified the peace treaty
signed in Berlin this government viii
consider withdrawal Of the army OF
occupation, according to limitations
from the State Department.
Under the new treaty Germany
agrees to perpetuate the promise she
made in the treaty Of Versailles to
pay the expenses Of occupation, but
there Is no direct mention Of the sub
ject which, II is understood, could be
interpreted as In any way affecting the
present situation or binding the Unit
ed States either to remain or with
draw. The Versailles agreement has
fixed Is years as the maximum period
Of occupation. So far as Is known
there was no consideration Of the sub
ject In the negotiations leading MP to
the present treaty, and officials take
the view here that the decision lies
wholly with this government. II IS
suggested by those favoring an early
withdrawal. however. that mainte-
nance Of the forces Of occupation
might impose such a financial burden
on Germany as to delay materially her
| payment Of reparatiOD.
Latest available figures placed the
number Of American troops In the
army Of occupation on the Rhine nj
1900, whose cost Of maintenance ID
nearly a. million dollars a month. Only
small part Of the maintenance bin
has been met by the German govern
ment thus far, upwards Of $3.50, 900 O0c
being due and unpaid to the United
States on account Of the occupation.
Despite the predispositiOn Of the ad
ministratiOn TO disengage American re
iations from any unnecessary entangie
ments In Europe many questions VIII

Washington.-Tax legislation was
given preference over the tariff by
the senate committee and arrange
ments were made for the committee 10
begin actual consideration Of the house
revenue bill September 1. The tax Dali
will occupy the attention of the COM
mittee exclusively until II Is ready Tor
submission to the senate. which Chair
man Penrose believes will probably be
when congress reconvenes Septem-
Der 81.
When decision was reached to dis
place the tariff, 1t was said In some
quarters, that the permanent tariff bill
would probably not be enacted until
after the new year. Hearings on the
measure are only about ine-fourth fin
ished. and in addition treasury experts
have yet to begin assembling data on
American wholesale selling prices with
out which, according to committee
members, the contemplated revision OF
house rates cannot be started.
Until taxes are taken up the com
mittee will continue hearings on the
tariff, taking up the wool schedule and
some of the agricultural list. The
committee, at the request Of the state
department, has also agreed to hear
