British Cabinet Meets

London, Aug. 13.-Eamonn de Va
lera's answer to proposals of the Brit
ish government relative to peace ne
gotiations in Ireland was considered
at a meeting of the British cabinet
this morning. Lord FitZalan, gov
ernor general of Ireland, and Sir
Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for
ireland, were understood to have been
called to participate in the delibera-
tions.
Closest secrecy was still maintained
in official circles relative to the con-
tents of the communication from the
Irish republican leader and some po-
litical writer's today reiterated their
belief that it was merely a step for
ward in the negotiations. They de-
clared that the reply asked for ex-
plantations of the governments pro-
posals preparatory to the meeting of
the Irish republican parliament next
Tuesday.
Sensational reports, however. ap-
peared under bold headlines in some
of this mornings papers. Some of
them were to the effect that the cab
met had received serious view of
de Valera's communication.

WORKING OUT A
PLAN FOR RELIEF
FAMINE STRICKEN
United States Will Co.

In Helping Both Rus
sian and Austrian Suf-
ferers If Soviet Govern
ment Does Not Inter-
fere

Riga, Aug. 13. Difficulties arose
today in the negotiations begun here
today over the draft of an agreement
guaranteeing presentation of food
supplies sent into Russia for famine
relief. Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet
representative, raised a hummer OF
objections both in principle and de-
tails, to the draft presented by Walter
Lyman Brown, the American relief
negotiator.
1t is not know as yet whether the
objections will prove insurmountable.
The conference was continuing this
afternoon.
Meanwhile NJ. Litvinoff has tele-
graphed the Chekas, the soviet tribun-
ale, throughout Russia to release all
Americans and send them to Moscow.
Includes United States
Paris, Aug. 12.-The allied supreme
council decided this morning that the
allied famine relief commission which
was agreed upon at Wednesdays ses-
sion, be composed of three delegates
from each country represented in the
council, including the United States
and Belgium. The commission will be
unofficial in character and will col
laborate with Herbert Hoover, head
of the American relief committee and
the Red Cross in Russian relief work.
Ambassador Harvey told the supreme
council he would communicate with
on the subject and that
the American members of the COM
mission would be appointed as soon as
possible.
Under resolution adopted by the
supreme council the congress of the
United States is urged to act in aid
OF financial efforts to compose the
European situation and the desire of
the council is expressed that the
United States pass as soon as con-
venient the measure in this connec-
ton, that Ambassador Harvey in
formed the meeting was still pending,
so that the. Austrian financial relief
plan, which is declared to have been
held up by American delay in waving
Austrian debt payments, may be put
into operation.
The allied nations are plannin,
financial relief for Austria through
q scheme, one feature of which in
wolves the suspension of claims
against that nation for period of
twenty years. Paris dispatches in
July reported authorization by the
council of ambassadors of communi-
cation with the United States with a
view to securing it's consent to with
hold claims estimated at approximate
ly S24 100000 against Austria.
The pending American Legislation
alluded to in the foregoing dispatch
apparently is the bill giving Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon wide author
ity in the matter of refunding general
loans.

 An ideal day with a fine gathering of Winslow fans greatly helped the game. It was fast in every depart ment, and easily bore the label of semi-pro pastiming. It is a pity that a compre- hensive score was not kept; this laxity causes us to be unable to do the boys justice on individuality of effort. The umpiring was of the highest order.

AFRICAN LION IN ARIZONA

A huge African lion is ranging the hills and forest down Tn the Clear Creek country. doing a lot of damage to livestock.
 Anyhow, that is what the stockmen down that way say. They claim that a big lion escsp- ed from circus train at Angel about five years ago and was never recaptured. And they are sure he is making his home with them and living off their live stock. They killed seven big mountain lions in that section within the last few weeks. but there IS one bigger than any of the rest. that they can't catch sight of, though they frequently see his tracks or "sboor. "as they say in Africa. The tracks are twice as large as those of a full grown mountain kitty" and are different in form. This, they are sure. is the visitor from the dark continent.
 Each of the stockmen in that section is dreaming valiant dreams of the time when he will
 
 come up with that lion. And each of them is hoping all the time that he never will come up with him. Each thinks that it is job that the other is especi- ally iittt d to tackle.
 Ross Fuller has three dead | mountain lions to his credit. and | one of Dugan's trappers has caught a couple. Dougan has lost 40 or 50 head of cattle killed by lions this winter and h a sf sworn revenge.

Castillo says sheepmen down that way are up against the hardest proposition they have been compelled 10 un- dergo for many years. Some have been feeding corn. but their lamb crop will not run over ten fifteen and twenty per cent at the best, as corn is not good feed for lam ping bands. Others have some pasture; but the cost will bring the cost of the lamb up to about $10 when the best they could expect on the market would be about S6.5 There has been no ram and unless there is rain soon 1t will be impossible to trail lambs to their summer range in May and the lambs will be too small and weak to ship.
