ENGLAND'S OFFER
GOES FULL LIMIT
Comedies Everything Posi-
BILE to Irish, Says
Lloyd George
REJECTION MEANS
GRAVER SITUATION
Provision Made for Calling Parliament
on 4S Hours Notice - Irish Reply
Will Not BE Discussed Until Monday
England Hopes for Acceptance

LONDON. Aug. 19.-The British gov
ernment in its Irish peace offer conceded
everything it was possible to concede,
Premier Lloyd George declared to the
house of commons today in his expected
statement on the Irish peace negotia-
cions The offer embodies the largest
measure of freedom ever offered Ireland
he said, and he hoped the Irish leaders
would not reject it and make the respon-
sibility of renewing a conflict which
would be robbed of all glory and all
gratitude by its overshadowing horror
Mr.. Lloyd George disclaimed any men,
ace for his words. He declared, however,
that the government had done everything
it could to secure peace and the good
viii of the people of Ireland and that it
was faced with the possibility that its
terms would be rejected. In that case.
he said. the country would face a graver
situation regarding ireland than ever
before Therefore. he said. provision
had been made for the Summoning of par
lament on IL hours notice, if negotia-
tiOnS broke down and the prospects for
peace became hopeless. He hoped, how
ever, that reason would prevail and the
governments desire for an ending of the
long misunderstanding between England
and Ireland would be realized
The prime minister's words were par
alleled in the house of lords by Lord
Curzon, the foreign secretary, as to the
governments offer having already gone
to the limit All that could be given
without compromising the safety of the
realm. the sovereignty of the crown and
the dignity of the empire had been of
fered he said.
Mr. Lloyd George : speech in the
lower house was made when a motion
was offered that the house adjourn un
til October. He began by saying that
nothing specific could he said on the
situation at this stage, a. there was al
ways the danger that words might be
used which were eSpable, if not of mis-
understanding. at least of misrepresen-
tation. All the government had to say
has been said in the two letters he had
addressed to Eamonn De Valera, de
clared the prime minister. The govern
ment had decided to lay all its cards OF
the table and had done so.

FUSILLADE FOLLOWS:
ATTACKERS RETREAT
Later Numerous Shots Are
Fired from New Hamp-
shire = Nobody Hurt so
Far as Known = Bullets
Plow Up Ground Near
Tent ! Last of Log Drive
Over Dam at Bellows
Falls Today

Having failed to get anybody by fir
ing bullets from the North Walpole side
of the river, strikers or strike sympathiz-
ers became bolder and changed their base
to the Vermont side Hast night and shot
at the officers doing duty near the camp
of the Champlain Realty Co. employees
The officers returned the fire and fusil-
lade occurred, followed shortly before mid
night with volleys from New Hampshire
None of the bullets took effect, so far
as the officers have learned, certainly
none of the officers were hit. but there
was much excitement around the logmen's
camp. 1t is estimated that altogether
about 60 shots were fired.
Sheriff Prank L. Wellman of Brattle-
boro was out of the state on official busi-
ness and Deputy f. H. Metcalf of Brat
| tleboro, who is in charge during the
lsherih's absence, was not at the tent, as
most of the deputies are on guard at the
/ highway and railroad bridges from half
to three-quarters of a mile down the river.
| Five officers were in tent, however, at
! . o'clock when a suspicious noise some
distance away was heard. Deputy
SueTlH v. vi. AuSliU Oh w llllIHgIOu went
outside and Immediately a bullet was
| fired at him from the bushes, but it found
/ lodgment in the ground.
| Deputy Austin fired in the direction
| from which the shot came The shooting
instantly brought the four other officers
out of the tent, armed with reyolvers and
1 riot guns The battle then continued
with renewed vigor and finally the sheriffs
made out the forms of three men retreat
ing in southwesterly direction through
ragged country.
! The Realty Co.'S camp was thoroughly
aroused by this time, but there was no
more shooting until about II o'clock,
when three more shots We're fired farther
north on the Vermont side. Half an hour
later weapons were brought into action
on the New Hampshire side of the river
and u shots We're fired from that point
Besides Mr. Austin the deputies partici-
ipating in the skirmish near the camp We're
/ Merrill 4. Stark, John Wakeham. Ralph
| AIOquin and f. G.. Harris, all of Bfattle-
boro. In front of the tents the ground
was furrowed by bullets, but in the dark
ness it was not easy to take good aim.
! States Attorney Harold T. Whitney
who was at his home in Brattleboro last
night, was notified of the trouble early
this morning, and he left for Bellows
Falls
With the exception of the booms all
the logs in the big drive have now passed
lover the Bellows Falls dam, and it is
lexpected that by night the booms will
have been removed. A little time will be
required however, in getting the last of
them down over the rocks below the dam
into open water.
1t is understood to be the plan of Gen
leral Manager George 4. Chedel of the
lChamplain Realty Co to establish camp
between Putney and Dummerston after
the Bellows Falls camp is broken up.
The front end of the drive has passed
lBrattleboro and reached the boom near
