wireless dispatches. charged that the
plot was participated in by the Ameri-
can Intelligence Service, the French Sc
cret Service and the Finnish General
Staff, together with General Baron
Wrangel and number of Russians in

in Russia, says the Rosta despatch,
suffered the deserved penalty" The

CANADIAN PREMIER
SEEKS DISSOLUTION
Wants Parliament to Rise for
Election This Year.

LONDON, Ontario. Sept. IA rec
ommendation that the Canadian Parlis-
ment dissolve at an early date to pro-
vide time for full discussion and an cleo
tioI before the new year was declared
by Premier Meighen tonight to be the
policy he would pursue.
Premier Meighen declared an early
election was imperative in order that
Canadas tariff problem might be adj
justed. The tariff difficulty of the
Government, the Premier said. was due
to the rise of the Farmers Party which
demanded free trade. He was certain
that this policy was wrong, he declared.
and 1t would be proved wrong by
developments.
ITO decide the principle OF the tariff
is the big. imperative question before
the people of Canada to-day" said Mr..
Meighen. Until they do decide It, we
cannot have business stability or full
employment in this country"

CHASING LLOYD GEORGE

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921. by THE New YORK HERALD.
DUBLIN, Sept. 1.-Sinn Fein's answer
to Premier Lloyd Georges last no<e
has gone chasing after the Prime MIN
lister over the Scottish Highlands to the
place where he is enjoying vacation.
Until the Prime Minister has received
it no statement will be made officially
as to its contents
Unofficially, however. 1t Is strongly
limited that the letter is more concilia-
tory in tone than any of it's predeces-
sors, and among other things is said to
propose a meeting OF English and irish
plenipotentiaries. Up to late hour to-
night no word had been received from
r. q. Barton and Joseph McGrath. the
message bearers who just missed Mr..
Lloyd George at Inverness in Scotland
and pursued him in a motor car to his
retreat thirty miles from telegraph
station at Gairloch.
Further sustaining the prediction Of
THE New YORK HERALD that the in
stallation Of Arthur Griffith as Foreign
Minister and the failure to reflect the
Childers Cabinet presaged less re-
calcitrant attitude, the Irish Bulletin,
hitherto rabfdly irreconcilable, took a
much milder tone In reviewing the Inn
portant issue to-day, saying that what
ever qualifications of complete political
and economic separation are made
necessary by physical and historical
facts will be acceptable to Ireland. pro-
vided they are consistent with the prin-
ciple of government by consent Of the
governed!
Premier Lloyd Georges last letter
contended just that when he said his
proposals rested on the very basis OF
consent Of the governed. That the Sinh
Fein is now again proposing definitely
to continue negotiations Is generally
read In Dublin in connection with this
statement OF the Irish Bulletin to mean
that the two sides are nearer an agree
ment than could possibly be expected.
Ulster again remains the difficulty.
THE NEW York HERALD correspondent
has information that the Sim Fein Is
willing to allow the Ulster question to
wait But the sinister incidents OF the
last week there may seriously compli-
cate matters.
Both sides are accusing the other of
starting the Belfast trouble. but the
best independent information Is that the
trouble began with the bombing OF Cath
Ole streets by Orange fanatics. Now
Col. Duffy, Sim Fein liaison officer for
Northern ireland, openly admits that he
ordered his troops to protect their own
people until the military and police took
active measures to prevent the Orange
men from slaughtering them and burning
their houses

of the Poplar Bonough Council. who had
refused TO comply with an order of the
High Court requiring them to raise tax

Many of the Councillors were not at

the relief administration, called attention
to the fact that the Soviet authorities
still have some resources In gold and
other metal" and said It seemed to him
"fundamental' that they should be
urged to purchase food abroad for adult
relief. The relief administration has
restricted its present Russian programme

Mr.. Hoover added that while the
Soviets' reserve would not meet Russia s
whole need, they can scarcely expect
the rest of the world to make sacrifices
until they have exhausted their every
resource
Col. Haskell, who sails with his party
tomorrow on the Olympic. was also in
structed by Mr.. Hoover to Immediately
dismiss on his own initiative from the
Russian mission any relief worker who
shows an inclination to discriminate as
to politics, race or creed.

Birch Law Passed

The election law which Represen-
tative Birch introduced and which was
passed provides that townships hav-
ing an area greater than Sc sections
and population of more than $50
voters can, if the voters so decide,
divide the township into two wards
for the purpose OF elections. This
will affect Adams township in par
ticular in this county, as it will enable
that township to be divided into two
wards. Heretofore there has been one
polling place and if it was at Revilol
voters living in the northern part of
the township had some distance to
go and if it was in Albee those in the
southern part had a great distance to
60. Under this new law neither Sec
ton Of the township will be such a
great distance from the voting place
and it will be a great convenience to
the voters.

near FIRE SCARES
ALBEE RESIDENTS.

Quite a scare was had by the Al
bee people last Saturday evening
when the film being showed at the
Community house caught afire.
James Jindra, a returned ex-ser
vice man has been running the show,
for the past few months. A defec-
tive winding spool is said to be the
cause of the accident, as the film did
not wind up on the spool, but spread
on the floor beneath the machine in
stead. A spark from the machine ig-
nited the loose filn,. but the quick
work Of Mr.. Jindra in getting out Of
the booth and closing the door saved
disastrous fire. The fortunate part
of the accident is the fact that, alth.
there were five other reels Of film in
the booth at the same time they did
not catch fire, in fact not all of the
film that was afire burned.
The door did not close entirely and
in attempting to hold it shut. Mr..
Jindra was quite badly burned about
the arms and face. This defect has
been remedied and the fire marshall
has declared that the picture booth
now complies with the requirements
of the law.
The show is being given in the fine
little community hall that Albee suil
some time ago, and it would have
been a blow to the community to hav
lost it at this time bv fire.

Cleanup Work Progressing. i

Work Of cleaning out the wreckage
and debris in the Telephone building
was started last week, and is pro-
pressing satisfactorily. A surprising
amount of salvage is being reclaim
ed from the debris which belongs to
the wreckers. Tentative plans for the
new building have arrived and with
some few changes, will probably be
carried out. The front of the build
ing will he left standing, but the
entryways and the stairway of the
building will be changed It is plan
ned to have the center entry for the
new store, which will be on the level
with the sidewalk. This will be IL
great Improvement in the looks and
accessibility of the store. The stair
way will be on the south side of the
building and will also serve for the
tenants on the second floor of the
bank building, door to be cut thru
the wall. This change will give adj
ditional room for the First National
bank which occupies the first floor
of the bank building and from which
room the stairway is now cut.
The row of Offices which are now
hanging and which were not damaged
BY the Are will be repaired and used
the second floor being carried back
over the entire store which will be
considerably longer than the old store
was.
Stock in the new building has been
subscribed for by the business men
and investors in the city. The con-
tract for the building was to be let
to the lowest bidder and the actual
construction will be started as soon
as possible, the time probably being
the last of April or in May.
Arthur and Harold Mittlesteadt,
who will occupy the first floor of the
new building with a general store,
are now in New York attending a
short course in business and will re-
turn this spring.

FARMERS ASKED TO
. contribute CORN.

The American Farm Bureau Feder-
htion is cooperating with other agen-
,cies to relieve the starving people
of Europe, China and the Near East.
A campaign for collecting funds to
furnish food for these peoples has
been going on for some weeks. Owing
to the shortage OF money in rural
communities and to the fact that
there was good corn crop in corn
raising sections the help asked of
farmers is taking the form of a
farmers "Gift Corn Project" OF whicl,
the farm bureau is taking charge.
The American Farm Bureau esti-
mates that one and one-half per ct. of
the corn crop will be offered by farm
crs. Definite acceptance of one mil
lion bushels of corn for immediate
shipment has come from Herbert
Hoover The Near East Relief COM
mission is at work on the transpor-
tation problem for one million bush
els. Carl s. Vrooman, Bloomington,
ILL.,, has been appointed by President
Howard as director of the farmers
Gift Corn Project and has establish
eel headquarters at the Office Of the

cago. Pres. Howard has also ap-
pointed w. S. Hill, Pres. of the South
Dakota F. 3. F., as director of the
farmers Gift Corn Project in this
state.
The latest bulletin to the local farm
bureau says: ''The farmers challenge
to city people to stand the expense
of handling, shipping and milling the
gift corn has been met. 1t is now up
to the farmers"
Farmers who wish to cooperate are
to give the corn and haul it to the
shipping points when arrangements
are made. The railroads, trainmen
and naval reserve seamen have offer
ed their resources to take care of the
shipment Of the grain. The grain is
to be shelled and shipped to mills
where it will be ground into -four and
other corn products before it is trans
ported across the ocean. It will then
be forwarded under Mr.. Hoover's in.
structions to the nearest seaport.
Grant county farmers who wish to
cooperate in this work are requested
to inform the Herald or the
County Agent, Milbank of the amount
OF corn which they wish to donate.
Further instructions in regard to the
shipping dates and other handling of
the corn will be given out later, after
