TOO HAsTY, SAYS PAPER.
Ayers Loss of Position Would Be
Hideous Blunder.

DUBLIN, September 17.-Eamonn De
Valera's telegram sent yesterday to
Prime Minister Lloyd George was today
declared by the Freeman's Journal to
make it more evident that the prime
minister had been "too hasty in his con-
clusion that the Sim Fein letter con-
veying details of the Irish acceptance
of his invitation to a conference implied
the Irish republic"
The newspaper asserted one encour-
eging fact was made clear by the cor
respondence and that was that both
leaders desire an honorable peace and
that the peoples of both countries are
overwhelmingly with them in this COM
mon DESIRE"
Would BE Blunde1.
ITO allow such position to be lost
would be hideous blunder and crime
against civilization" the newspaper con-
tinued. Eve are expressing the unani-
nous wish of the Irish people when we
assert a method should be found to re-
solve the deadlock without threat or
force, and that the conference should
proceed untrammeled by differences that
will almost certainly disappear on the
day the conference meets"
In official quarters here the most
favorable construction is placed on
Mr.. De Valera's telegram. The i'm
preston voiced that it has smoothed
the situation greatly. some going so
far as to express the view that a
conference before the end of next
week is still possible.
Could Renew Invitation.
One official said this morning that
If the Interpretation placed on Mr.
De Valera's attitude by the Free
mans Journal today was accurate
Mr.. Lloyd George might easily renew
his invitation to q conference. In
s>.nn Fein circles 1t was declared that
dali eireann leaders would accept
that Interpretation. :
MIR. De Valera, Arthur Griffith and
other of the dali leaders were about
at the Mansion House from an un-
usually early hour this morning.
They indicated. however. that they
did not expect any communication
from the British premier until after
the British cabinet meeting.

Editor Tho Star.
About 40 years ago there was
published in a magazine a study In
applied psychology. In the opening
chapter a speaker at a banquet
said:
The social and moral world Is
controlled by laws as clearly defin-
ed and definite In action as the nat.
ursi laws, and he who learns these
laws and acts in harmony with
them may be master OF his own
destiny"
was impressed with the thought
as guide TO ambition. Evidently
the author, at the end OF his study,
concluded that he had claimed too
much for applied psychology. His
final chapter said:
"On the contrary, no found the
