.EXTRAVAGANCE
 MAIN TOPIC
 OF DISCUSSION

With the extravaganza of the city as the main point under discussion Attorney Albert J. Merritt and Attor- ney Abe s. Gedu1dig made splendid speeches last evening at a meeting of the new Sixth District Republican club held in the club rooms at ?, 412 Main street.
 Attorney GeduIdig stated that del egates from the Sixth would stand by and vote for man who would be in opposition to lowering the c4ty's ex- pense by cutting down the wages of the policemen and firemen, but who would save money by cleaning the city of the e3travagant waste. The man, whom the delegates would fla vor, would be the one who would cut the salary Of probably the City At torney's job, which is now S7,5O0 and would let the policeman and fireman have a living wage.
 agance" would probably be the only one with which to explain the pres ent aadIuinistraticr's methods of bus iness was one of the big points in the talk of Attorney Merritt. There arc three big monuments of this kind which the people of this city can al ways remember and connect with this administration" he said. ''The Grand street bridge, the tearing down of the Steepfechase bridge, for which Leake of the Leake Construction company who submitted a bid Of $7.oo which was turned down in fla yor of the Eastern Engineering com pany, who charged S42.000 for the lob, and the sewerage disopsa1 plant which has already cost S400,00O and will cost InilEon before 1t will be ready for use and then it is not as sured that it can be operated" MT. Merritt also said that while the fore men on the Grand street bridge were earning $20 day, the wages or the poor laborers were cut to S15 and SIS a week.

CONCESSIONS
 ON BOTH SIDES
 WOULD HELP

Cork, Oct. 1.-Concessions by both sides in the conference to be held in London on October II will do much to facilitate the reaching of an agree ment making for peace in Ireland, said the Cork Examiner this morn ing in commenting upon the latest ex- change of notes between London and Dublin.
 ''The Irish people, the newspaper said "are genuinely sincere in their desire for an accounting of the diff ferences which must be equitably aG9 justed if conflict is to be ended and honorable peace achieved. They are equally sincere in the belief that, the conference will supply a means by which the desired end may be attain ed. and, while aware that grave diff faculties exist. they are convinced that when the conferees get to close quar- ters with these difficulties, & give and take policy will smooth the way and dissolve them.
 Ireland looks forward to the con- ference with the fullest hope, believ- ing that the sound statesmanship and the broad outlook which her pIenipo- tenuaries command will enable them to serve the country's interest and lead to a real achievement They are charged with heavy responsibili- ties in their task, and will have to yield points as well as make them."

GREAT CHANCE FOR IRELAND NOT
 TO BE LOST

Belfast, Oct. 1.Ccmmenting on the conference to be held in London for the purpose of finding a basis for peace in Ireland, the Irish News, Ma tiona1ist organ said to-day:
 'HThe possibility of a. disagreement need not be dismissed, but we believe nobody outside the ranks of the dis gruntled enemies of peace will regard that possibility as probability. The best interests of Ireland, Great Brit ain and the world are involved in a just settlement of the Irish problem which will end the oldest war in his tory. A great opportunity has aris- en. It must no be lost through any Iniscalculations, faults or follies on the part of Irish NationaIists.'
 The Northern Whig. Unionist, secuted the idea that Britain would give way on the question of an Irish republic.
 '1The other way to peace," it con- tinued, '-is by acceptance of nembere- ship in the empire. Here we find a barrier in explicit statements many times repeated, that the demand for complete independence must be in sisted upon. Voluntary assent to the inclusion of Ireland in the British Empire means the end of Sim F'ein- ism We may all hope this road will be chosen, but in view of what is known of the origin and history of the Sim Fein, it is rational to de- nounce everyone who ventures to hint a doubt regarding the possibility of it's req Iization."

RESOLVE WOULD HAVE HELD UP
 RATIFICATION

Berlin. Oct. i-Pleas by Chanoei- Tor Wirth and Foreign Minister Ro- sen averted a resolution by the Ger man Nationalists yesterday which have delayed ratification of tho peace treaty with the United States in the Retchstag. The nationalists planned to present a resolution in which the Refchstag would be called upon to declare that in ratifying the treaty it was not making a renewed confession of guilt for causing the war. The two cabinet ministers, however, succeeded in impressing the party leaders with the argument that any attempt to obstruct the passage of the bill in the Reichstag would oc- casion( an unfavorable impression in Washington, and possibly embarrass future steps by the German govern ment.
 After the vote on the peace treaty was taken, the Reichstag settled down to six hours noisy debating over the nationalist interpolation relative to the governments precautionary measures for safeguarding the re- public"
