the IRISH REJECT
BRITISH PROPOSAL
Basis of Dominion Status De.
Clared to be Lacking in
Peace Offer.

London.-The Irish republican par
liaments reply to Premier Lloyd
Georges latest communication rejects
the British governments proposals for
settlement of the Irish question on the
ground that they are not based on
dominion status for Ireland. 1t leaves
the way open for further negotiations,
however, by offering at once to appoint
plenipotentiaries on the basis of the
principle of government by consent OF
the governed.
The reply shows De Valera and the
Dali Eireann have not receded from
their former position. 1t emphasizes
that the British governments propos-
ais are not an invitation to enter into
free and willing partnership with
the nations of the British common
wealth, but that. the conditions Lloyd
George seeks to impose would divide
Ireland into two artificial and mutu-
ally destructive states. 1t insists plen.
ipotentiaries must enter conference
untrammeled by conditions, but with
that proviso, and says that the Dali
Eireann is ready to appoint plenipo.
tentiaries.
Except that Mr.. De Valera seems to
ignore the premier's warning of danger
in delay, the position is much the same
as in the last exchange in letters.
The most threatening feature still
remains the refusal of Ulster to yield,
in which 1t is recognized there Is real
danger.

 EX-CITIZEN of McCRORY

 His wife was good house. keeper and watched the pen nies.
 Their monthly income now is more than $1O,OOO. The routine of their daily life in the cottage changed but little until
 Their son Sam, a railroad brakeman, came home to live with them.
 Sam's home, was broken up.
 His wife sued Ward and his wife for $100,00O, charging alienation of her husbands affections.
 Subponea servers visited the Ward home.
 Confidence men called be- fore breakfast. Others came after Wards nine o'clock bed time.
 q never was messed up in court until I got all this money,"' said Ward, as he took hitch in a new pair of galluses.
