CONSIDER
OFFER
Invitation to De Lavera to
Visit London and Talk
Peace Creates Profound
Sensation in Dublin.
(By Associated Press1

LONDON, June 2T.-lt is the belief
that De Lavera. the president of the
Irish republic, will accept the invita-
ton extended by Premier Lloyd
George to come to London for con-
ference with the government leaders,
designed to bring about settlement
of the Irish problem. All we'll in
formed officials here express this be-
lief and the majority of the reports
received from Dublin express the same
belief.
Lloyd Georges invitation caused a
profound sensation in Dublin. The
most authoritative sources in predict
ing that De Lavera will accept the
invitation are agreed that he prob
ably will attach sharp conditions to
the acceptance and on there being
more binding guarantees than are
contained in the premier's letter for
the safe conduct of certain other Irish
leaders; and that he would insist upon
the release of certain republicans now
informed or imprisoned in order that
they might accompany him.
1t was pointed out that the wording
of the premier's letter would make it
impossible for him to refuse the invi-
tation and many of the Sim Fem lead
ers are anxious for him to accept.
BELFAST, June 27.-In message
from Paris, where he is acting for the
Irish republican interests, Sean O'Cal-
laigh, member Of the Irish republican
parliament, says, "Mr. Lloyd Georges
invitation to explore the possibilities
of settlement of the Irish questions,
if independence Of Ireland is not eX-
Guided, will undoubtedly receive the
earnest consideration of President De
Lavera and the Irish cabinet.
Cardinal Logue, the primate of Ire
land, told the interviewer that he
would regard any overtures from
Lloyd George with extreme caution
and reserve. He did believe and he
could not see he said how mere per-
sonal meeting between De Lavera and
George could do much. He regarded
the situation, he said, however, as not
without CLEAN Of hope for the final
solution of all the difficulties.

HAD LITTLE NEED TO WORRY.

Prince Ferdinand Leopold OF Aus
tria is writing a book and in it he
takes a fling or two at the British
well, one or two. Naturally. not all
OF them are good natured. When the
late kng Edward of England then
prince OF Wales, was visiting in Vien-
ma with the old emperor and galaxy
of archdukes. he received a telegram
from London as he sat at royal
dinner table. 1t was delivered amid
some Stir, for it was known that it
had had special privileges on the
wires and that probably it came from
his mother, the great Queen Victoria.
Probably, everyone thought, it con-
cerned affairs of state of vital mo-
ment.
The prince Of Wales. impressed by
Il somewhat similar idea, or perhaps,
worrying for fear that he might be
recalled from his pleasant dalliance
in the then brilliant Austrian capital,
opened it at once with an anxious
look upon his face. The old Austrian
emperor and the archdukes, who
were all at table with him, watched
him curiously as he read it.
Having done this he sighed with
some relief and then glanced about
the table at the remarkable display
of wines which always characterized
even the simplest Of the Hapsburg
meals.
Taking pencil from his pocket af-
ter this survey he scribbled a brief
answer to the telegram and then told
the tableful the contents of the mes
sage and the nature Of his reply. The
telegram had been sent by his wor-
ried mother, Queen Victoria, and
said:
81 hear the water in Vienna is not
good. Be careful of it. Victoria"
His answer said:
Don't worry. Promise not to touch
it,
In speaking Of the Scotch (this
being another Of the goOd-naIured
stories) the prince tells of Mac
donald, taken prisoner by the Aus
trians and becoming celebrated as a
story teller in the prison camp.
This Macdonald it appears, like
every Scotchman. was inordinately
boastful Of his forebears. He was
talking with an AUstrian-one would
think they must have been real pals!
and said that his clan was most
ancient and distinguished Of all. 1t

MAKE SURVEY OF

GOVERNOR AND CABINET START
RETIREMENT PROGRAM IN
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
COMMISSIONER 0LIN IN CHARGE
Department Of Health Physicians
Already Making Complete
Physical Examinations.

Lansing-Governor Alexander j.
Groesbeck and the administrative
board are losing no time in putting into
effect big program of betterment, re-
form and welfare work in the state
institutions, bringing necessary and
valuable aid to the states wards by
making use of the recently conferred
power to correlate the work OF vari-
GUS branches of the state government.
Practically the first step already has
been to set In motion survey OF the
health. moral sanitary and dental con-
ditions in all state institutions, with
O view of bringing their inmates up to
Q normal standard physically-rec-
ognized In modern methods of hand
ling public wards of all kinds as the
nrst and essential step towards &C.
complishing the aims for which cor
rective institutions, educational and
penal institutions were established.
The work will be under the direc-
ton OF State Health Commissioner
Olin, who already has state depart
ment of health physicians at work
making a complete medical and sanl'
tary survey in every state institution.
Every state ward-except in the hospi-
tails themselves-will be given COM
plete physical examination and
standard form of report and record
will be kept.
In Jackson prison and the Adrian
Industrial Home for Girls, complete
reports of this kind already had been
installed by the new boards OF those
institutions In both institutions the
aim was TO correct every physical all
ment Of whatever nature first; then
follow with moral and ethical work.
In none of the state institutions,
however, could all the work necessary
be accomplish and there was no uni
formity of either appropriations or
methods. The state board of health
will make these possible for all the
institutions and homes.
