"Triv:al Encounter"
Professor Seign ,bos took occa-
sion to refer to this in opening one
OF his lectures, the s,,bject f:r the
day happening to be Henry w."
He is reported as having said in
substance:
young gentlemen, / have not
failed to see that your attention has
been somewhat distracted from the
study of the history OF your race by
what seems to me the undue i'm.
portance being given a trivial en-
counter at fisticuffs between two
young men which is about to take
place On the other side Of the sea.
l have seen illusions in the public
prints to the glory that would ac.
cruc to the French people by the
victory of Carpenter.
"Mental Power the Thing.
II can not refrain from mention
ing that the greatest achievements
of our race have not been through
the display of physical, but mental
power. l have no doubt that Jack
Johnson could beat Napoleon in a
personal combat. or that BetgsoI
would be found unequal to a ring
enclosing him and Mr.. Dempsey.
II beg of you young gentlemen
to maintain sense of proportion in
your intellectual interests and to
abandon perusal, at least during
lecture hours, of these ephemeral
publications.

NO MENACE LIKE
EXTRAVACANCE
SAYS HARDING
eNelO Era of Economy
Pledged by Pres
ideyaf.

Washington, June z9.-President
Harding pledged his administra-
ton to a new era Of economy and
efficiency in opening today q first
budget conference of cabinet and
other high officers of the govern
ment. He told his auditors that
there was NO menace in the world
today like the tendency of extraga-
gance in public expenditures.
Four basic principles on which
the federal budget system must
rest for success were announced
today by Director Charles G.,
Dawes, Of the budget bureau when
President Harding called to order
the administrations budget confer
ence to pave the way for Inaugural
ton OF the new financial system.
These principles. Mr.. Dawes said,
had been drawn up by direction Of
the president and unanimously ap-
proved by cabinet members who
will devise some measure of their
powers hereafter over government
expenditures.
Permanent success Of the bud
get system in the United States, !"
Mr.. Dawes said, depends on GER
tain basic principles which at its
inception must be 80 firmly estab-
lished both as to inception and rules
OF action that they never hereafter
will be questioned.
Bureau Must Be Impartial
The budget bureau must be i'm
partial, impersonal and non-politi-
cal.
"The director Of the budget in
the matter of governmental busi-
ness administration has no respon-
sibility under the laws save over
the administration Of his own bu-
reau. He simply is an adviser OF
the president and congress in the
matter Of correcting the business
administration.
The director Of the budget, in
gathering Information for the use
of the president, acts for the pres
ident and this call is upon chiefs
of bureaus and other administers
tive officers for the purpose Of con-
sultation or information and take
precedence over the cabinet head
OF the department, or any head eI
an -frdepsfdeMt organization.
The budget representative In
each department, being appointed
by the cabinet head, will present
to the director the views Of the
cabinet head upon the wisdom OF
conclusions drawn by the director
of the budget for the use of the
chief executive and congress, but
as in the case Of bureau chiefs and
other officers, the call of the d.
rector Of the budget for their pres
ence and advice, takes precedence
over the cabinet head"

Valera, the Irish republican
leader, In . letter to Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, says
that the proposal of the prime
minister, Lloyd George, for .
conference In London between
representatives Of the southern
and the northern Ireland, and
the British government, owing
to its limitations, Is impossible
Of acceptance in its present
form.
Belfast, Ireland, June 29.-By
The Associated Press Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, declined
today the invitation extended him
by Eamonn de Valera, the Irish
republican leader, to meet de
Valera in Dublin. The invitation
was contained in a letter to the
Ulster premier and four other
prominent Irishmen outside of de
Valera's party asking them to meet
him at the Mansion house in Dublin
on Monday for a conference.
Others Are Invited.
The other meh invited by the re-
publican leader were Earl Middle
ton, Sir Maurice Dockrell, member
of parliament for the Rathmines
division of Dublin county, an earn
est supporter of the coalition gov
ernment except as to its Irish pol
icy of home rule; Sir Robert Henry
Woods, member of parliament fol
Dublin university, and Andrew
Jameson. 1t was stated that de
Valera wished to learn from then
at first hand the views on the Irish
question of certain sections of the
people they represent. De Valera

tiOn as are available" and adding

Valera's invitation.
The answer of Sir James Graf,
added that he would publish tele
grams in order to obviate a mis-
understanding in the press between
namesakes in the southern Irisl
parliament and himself.
The theory advanced here is tina
de Valera's invitation to a confer
ence was really sent to Professor
James Craig, Of Dublin, but that d,
Valera's attention being drawn t,
the confusion in names, he decided
to fly at higher game.
