London, Aug. l6.-Optinlism con-
tinues the prevailing note in London
opinion on the Irish question. The
general view is that Eamonn de Val
era, leader of the Republicans in Ire
land, having sought but failed to Sc
cure improved terms, is in posi-
ton no worse than he was several
days ago.
Public opinion here considers that
the letter of Jan c. SHUTS, the South
African Premier, to Mr.. de Valera,
urging acceptance Of the Imperial
Governments proposals, is likely to
prove the central and deciding factor
of the issue. The belief is express
ed. however, that the Dali Eireann
will decline to assume responsibility
for a decision, but will refer the
problem to plebisclte of the Irish
people.

Sucked Into Ocean Cave,
Army Wife Is Drowned.

Honolulu, Aug. 16.-While bathing
off a. rock promontory at the north
eastern point of Oahu Island, Mrs.
Orvile E. Webb, wife of an American
army sergeant, was drowned yester-
day when she was drawn into sub
marine cave by powerful suction
caused by waves and tide. The body
has not yet been recovered. Mrs.
Webb had stopped over while on the
way to join her husband in the Phil
ippines.
A grim clue to two fishermen who
left the island of Maui two weeks
ago in small boat and who never
returned was obtained when a mon
ster shark, caught by some Japanese
fishermen, was cut open and hui
man leg was found in the stomach.
The missing mems empty boat was
washed ashore several days ago.

BANKS OF STATE
AIDING WOOLMEN
THROUGH CRISIS

1.-THE prosperity OF the wool
grower is reflected in the general
prosperity of the state of New

the wool men and cattle men pros
per, so do the banking and other
financial interests of the state

Mr.. Herndon stated that much
of the misunderstanding which at
times existed between the banks of
the state and the growers was due
to the system of protective laws
which have been thrown around
the banks of the state both by the
federal and the state governments.
"These, however. are for the pro-
lection of the grower as well as for
every one else" he stated,
