CONTENTS OF LETTER A
 SURPRISE TO SINN FEINERg

Dublin, Aug. 26 (By the A. P.).-The letter of Premier Lloyd George to Eamon De Valera was received in Dublin late to- night. Its contents came as a surprise to the Sim Feiners. They had expected further arguments on the claims of Ire- land they had raised, instead of a repeti- ton of the essential conditions of the British government made known to MT. De Valera at the conference in Downing street a month ago.
 A meeting of the, Dali Eireann was hurriedly summoned for tomorrow morn ing at Il o'clock to consider the situa- tion.
 In Dublin Castle qdarters tonight the last sentences in the premier's letter are considered as making possible further meetings for discussions of the situation with representatives of the Sim Feiners, unless they regard the words of the pre- mier as a challenge.
 There is reason to believe that the peo- pie do not desire resumption of the warfare at which the premier plainly hints as possibility in case there is de- lay in ending the controversy. It is thought the fear expressed by MT. Lloyd George in this respect is based on reports he has received of widespread drilling throughout the country by the Sim Feiners They declare that they do not regard such activity as breach of their truce, asserting that equal activity has prevailed in the military barracks and that machine gun practice awakens the Dublin citizenry every morning. The general impression in Sim Fein and other cireles here today was that

The men listened intently while MT. keeney and Secretary Mooney explain ed to them the details of the conference they had had with Brigadier General H. H. Bandholtz, U. S. A, representing the war department, in Charleston this morning. MT. Keeney told the men that General Bandholtz had insisted that the march end at once and explained the possible course of the federal govern ment if the men persisted in their deter imitation to pass through Logan and in- to Mingo county
 Two or three of the miners, who were said to be leaders among the men, also addressed the meeting. The more con- servative of these speakers urged the men to take such advice as Mir. Kee- ney had to offer
 Mir. Keeney promptly told them to go back home
 That broke up the meeting, and some of the men who had joined the march Ing force from this vicinity, immediate ly started for their homes
 Newspaper correspondents were stop ped at the gate when they sought to en- ter the park but immediately the meet ing was over Mir. Keeney instructed the guards to let them pass and gave them the report of what had taken place.

DlscoRD DEVELoPEs IN THE
 ANTl-clGARETTE LEAGUE

Chicago. August 26-The resigna- tion of Lucy Page Aston, head of the anti cigarette league, was announced today by the board of directors which issued a statement that Miss Gas tons methods were more drastic than the methods approved by the board of managers"
 The board contented itself with spreading scientific and other informa- tion to protect the youth from forming the cigarette habit, the statement said. This information was procured from investigations in American and Lon don laboratories.
 Miss Gaston's methods were more drastic in that she insisted in promot- ing prohibitory methods not approved by the board. In its best judgment. the severins of the connection Of Miss Cas- ton with the league seemed advisable that the work -oS the organization may go forward unhampered by indi 5 vidual influence and leave Miss Gaston free to carry out her more drastic and prohibitory methods"
 Miss Gaston has been an active re- former for many years. She founded the anti cigarette league, and was al- so associated with Frances F. Will lard in the anti-saloon fight. She has directed many prosecutions of cigar cite dealers and elsewhere.

view here that the decision lies who'll ly with this government. IL is sug- sested by those favoring an early withdrawal, however. that mainten- ance of the forces of occupation might impose such a financial burden or Germany as to delay materially her payment Of reparation.
 Latest availble figures place the number of American troops in the dr. my of occupation at l1.00o. whose cost of maintenance is nearly a million dollars a month. Only a small part of the maintenance bill has been met by the German government thus far upwards of S250, ,0O0.00o being due and unpaid 10 the United States of Am erica of the army of occupation.
 Despite the pre-disposition of the ad- relations from any unnecessary en- ministration to disengages American tanglements in Europe many questions will enter into consideration of the question of troop withdrawal. Prob lens growing out of the occupation already have led to disagrements am- ong the. Europeran allies, and il the manifest hope of American officials to avoid offense to any of them in the course it adopts.

Washington, August 2s-Intimations were given in high official quarters today that withdrawal of the Ameri- can troops from the Rhine will be seriously considered as soon as peace treaty signed yesterday in Berlin has been ratified by the senate and the German Reichstag.
 No definite prediction was made. but it became known that once peace actually was established the adminis- tration would feel there would be no necessity of burdening Germany with the support of an army of occupation. Under the new treaty Germany agrees to perpetuate the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to pay the expenses of occupation but there is no direct mention of the subject which, it is understood, could be interpreted as in any way affecting the present situation, or binding the United States either to remain or withdraw.
 The Versailles agreepent fixed fif- cen years as the maximum period of occupation. So far as is known there was no consideration of the subject in the negotiations leading up to the present treaty, and officials take the
