The wife of a Red Cross worker
has brought suit for divorce against
him. While overseas this misrepre-
sentative of a noble band married a
demure French lassie, unmindful of
the fact that he had left wife in the
states. Later there was a child.
Wife No. preferred her freedom to
being linked up to a brute, even
though he wore the emblem of the
Red Cross.
The respectable brute creation
however, will probably object to hav-
ing this animal classed as one of them
The red terror is gripping Germany
lust as the German terror tried to
grip France and England, and would
have done had not the American foot
tripped her up just at the psychologi-
cal moment.
The German terror, devoid Of teeth
probably knows now how it feels to
have another terror gripping it.
And yet we can not help a feeling
that the German terror of war days
consisted of the kaiser, the aristocacy
and the militaristic class. The com
mon people were simply herded up
and driven to the slaughter.
Terrors are terrifying, no matter
which side they grip.

Valera and his conference colleagues
spent the most of the night at his home
in Black Rock on the shores of Dublin
Bay, he and the other leaders ware
besieged early this morning by tele
phone and other messages from those
whose vital interests in life are at
stake. Throughout the day this pres
sure was exerted upon the Irish leaders,
and to-nights telegram to Gairloch is
the result.
The next move may be up To the
British Government, but Mr.. de Valera
has made the way easy. There Is evil
dence from Dublin that he and his ad-
visers are beginning to realize that they
can press Mr.. Lloyd George too far
There is keen realization among Sim
Feiners that with Mr.. Lloyd George the
undoubted master of Great Britain and
the ablest result getter ever In Downing
street. and with Great Britain's atten-
tion distracted by It's own problems of
unemployment and taxation, the oppor-
tunity to attain an Irish settlement
along the lines that the Irish want is
better than It has been for generations
or is likely to be for generations to
come.

DE VALERA,S TELEGRAM
GIVES HOPE TO DUBLIN
BIZ the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, Sept. 16.-Men closely in
touch with the leaders on both sides OF
the Irish question in conversations to-
night expressed the opinion that the
telegram sent to Premier Lloyd George
by Eamon de Valera seemed greatly to
improve the situation. They thought
that if the Irish leaders position had
been so stated in his letter to the Pre-
mier Mr.. Lloyd George probably would
not have cancelled the proposed confer
cnce.
1t is clearly evident here that neither
side desires break. but both factions
seem unwilling to waive points of prin-
clple or make admissions that possibly
might prove embarrassing afterward. 1t
is considered here that Mr.. de Valera's
telegram to the Premier withdraws
nothing that he previously contended
for, but that 1t is intended to facilitate
decision by the British Cabinet in
favor of further conference.
Two leading Sim Feiners, not mem
bers of the Dali Eireann Cabinet but in
close touch with 1t. said tonight the
phrasng Of Mr.. de Valeras letter to
Mr.. Lloyd George was unfortunate since
the intention was to bring about con-
ference without prejudice to the convic-
tions of either side to the controversy

While most of the newspapers COM

whether recognition of the Irish re-

Would the conference really consti-
tute such an admission? Is IL so tragic

There Is undoubtedly a strong element
In the Sim Fein which believes It can

They believe. however that the world
might support his rupture OF negotia-

become SO horrible that the Premier
could not face the condemnation II the

BRANDS Hold Tenuous.

The latter declaration. appearing in so

the belief that NJ. BRAND has a firm hold
on the Chamber of Deputies majority
The same newspaper does not see any
reason for M. BRAND attending the
Washington conference personally, and
recommends that trustworthy ambas-
sador be sent there who will ask the
advice of the Government whenever 1t IS
necessary.
1T is easy to see that the discussions
iE Washington will chiefly affect Anglo
American disputes. and It would be un-
wise for the French Premier to expose
himself to the risk of being drawn into
them by one side or the other" the
