PUT EVERYTHING
IN LETTER, SAYS
BRITISH PREMIER
Lloyd.George Declares That Gov.
ernment Can C0ncede Moth.
ing More to Ireland
PARLIAMENT SEPARATES
Adjournment Only is Taken I'm.
til October Because of Irish
Peace Situation

London, Aug. 19.-(By the As.
sociated Press)-LOrd Curzon, the
secretary for foreign affairs,
speaking in the House of Lords to:
day on the Irish negotiations, said
the government had offered all
that could be given without COM
promising the safety of the realm.
the sovereignty of the crown and
the dignity of the empire.
London, Aug. 19.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)--The British govern
ment, decraled Premier Lloyd George
today, in making it's settlement pro-
posals to Ireland had decided on put
ting the whole of it's terms in the
letter to Eamonn DeValera without
keeping anything back and the Sc
quel had proved, he said, that it was
right in adopting that course.
He had heard no suggestion from
any part of the world except Ireland,
he remarked, that the proposals had
not gone to the limit of possible con-
cessions.
II want to make it clear" contin-
ued the prime minister, "that the gov
ernment did not put forth haggling
terms but put forward everything it
could possibly concede to purchase
peace and the good will of the Irish
people. In Ireland itself, so far as I
can see, the doubt is not so much as
to the terms but as to whether the
government really means them.
Cannot Alter Outline
"That is question Of working out
the terms-of elucidation and elabor-
alton and not changing of the terms.
The outline cannot be altered nor the
basis changed"
In view of the fact that the House
was about to separate and that there
were some "disquieting facts" and
statements it was the duty Of the gov
ernment to consider all possible con-
however unpleasant, the
premier said.
Rejection would be Serious
Acceptance Of the governments
terms would mean that details would
have to be threshed out while on the
other hand there was contingency
the terms would be rejected.
"Were that misfortune to befall the
relations between these two islands
whose history has been SO full of such
incidents We would be
faced with a graver situation in re-
gard to Ireland than any in which we
nave been confronted" he said.
Have Defined Issues.
whatever these terms may ac-
and may have done there is
one thing they have achieved. They
have defined the issues more clearly
than ever before and rejection would
be an unmistakable challenge to the
authority of the Crown and the unity
of the empire and no party In the
state could possibly pass that over
without notice. ~,
II am using no language Of menace.
That would be indeed folly. Where
there are so many existing difficulties
to use threatening language would be
to aggravate old difficulties and Gre
ate new ones"

SAYS CASE IS
STRONG AGAINST
MRS. 0BENCHAIN
Investigator Says Certain Facts
Must be Disproved if She
is Freed

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 19-Mol-
colin McLaren, chief investigator for
the district attorneys office, late last
night commented on Ralph Obenchain's
statement that the man who killed
J. Bolton Kennedy here August S
would be in Jail by Sunday.
Mr.. McLaren said that he would
act on any evidence warranting an
other arrest and that the only de-
sire of officials was to see the slayer
of Kennedy arrested and convicted.
But" he added, "any theory
must dispose of the charge against
Mrs. Obenchain, now accused. The
facts show too strong a case against
her to be disregarded."
Coincident with this statement it
was announced by Deputy District
Attoroney Keyes that the prosecution
had examined two new witnesses late
yesterday and added that the case
against the two prisoners indicted
was becoming stronger every day.

Significance of Revival
 in Automobile Trade

ZANE Birmingham agent for a " standard automobile has placed twice as many orders for the 1922 model as he placed at this time last year for the 1921 model. One dealer has experienced the best month in the history of his business and an- other reports the best weeks busi- ness.
 It is agreed on automobile row in Birmingham that conditions in the early part of August of this year are precisely the reverse of what they were at this time in 1920. Last August the banks were turning down automobile paper and automobiles were not being sold. Out at the Warrant warehouse they were stored by the hundreds. Factories laid off men and the out put was cut more than half.
 Now dealers are ordering more cars than ever before, tire sales are making a new high record, sales of cars are increasing week by week, and the factories where standard cars are made are operating at full capacity. Several of the largest factories have already made new monthly and weekly production rec ords.
 What does this mean? It signifies the revival of business. The auto mobile is not luxury. It has be- come a pronounced factor in, the lives of the American people. It multiplies according to their power to buy.

A HINDU THEATRE

From Heera Singh and His Neigh
 bors, by Narain Ashutor. in Asia
 Magazine for September.
 It was all in all an exciting day for the people of Midnapore; for that evening the new native theatre was to be opened. When we arrived, about 20 minutes before the time appointed for the play to begin, the place was already thronged with an audience representing all ranks of the native community, from the prosperous mer- chants of the nearby towns, to the villagers from the outlying hamlets. of bamboos, badly put together and covered with thin cloth or canvas sheeting. The stage was lighted by five or six lamps with reflectors. The auditorium was dimly lighted by a single chandeli of only four lamps, suspended in the center of the room. and by couple of wall lamps with reflectors, fixed against side-posts, the stage. But the tropical moon, shining through the cloth ceiling, gave subdued glow to the semi darkness. The reserved seats con- sisted of two rows of chairs, and the first-c class unreserved seats, of a similar double row a little farther back; then came barrier, and be- hind it 8 rude arrangement of seats for the main body of the spectators. The charges for seats varied from three rupees to four annas each (S5 cents to 10 cents) and special place at eight annas a seat was reserved for native women. whose purdah restrictions prevented them from ap- bearing with uncovered faces in pub lie. Their enclosure was protected by large mosquito-net in front and by a black cloth behind. so that they could see everything without being seen.
 Although the performance was ad- vertised to commence at nine, it was long past 10 before the actors ap- i peared. The play, an Urdu. rendering of Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp" was sung to the accompani- ment of sarangi Ca violin-like in- | strument) and a drum. The stage was got up after the European model and provided with an abundance of the trap doors and lifts necessary to the sudden appearance and disap- pearance of the geni who figure in the story of Aladdin. Occasionally trap door refused to work. Some l times the actors voices were drown ed by the bawling of the stage man ager as he shouted instructions to the tage-hands. And, worst of all
 the prompter, who occupied cage
 like seat in front of the stage, lost his temper if his efforts were unsuc-
 cessful, and kicked his box. which
 emitted hollow solni to attract the I attention of the aft.st: EaS these were small matters aa6 ths cyenine
 passed merrily enqat ers and ] e,,dierc~ =
