BY REQUEST OF THE BRITISH
PREMIER, NEW WORKS. Ex-
GOVERNOR ACTED.
THE STORY TOLD IN DETAIL
Work on the Matter Started in Rome
In Meeting With Bishop Mannix
of Australia and Others.

Albany, N. VT was my good for
tune to be honored by Lloyd George,
when | was in London last May, to
extend to Mr.. De Valera the invitation
to come to London and discuss a set
Element of the Irish meetings. That
invitation led to the meetings between
the prime minister of England and
President De Valera which have
brought about this settlement. All
the details of my conference with
Lloyd George am not at liberty to
divHlge.
AS long as the proposed settlement
of the Irish question is satisfactory
to the leaders in Ireland, it will be sat
isfactory to the Irish the world over,
| believe any settlement proposed by
Collins, Griffith and their fellow corr
missioners will be greeted with &C
claim everywhere.
My work on the matter started in
Rome in a meeting with Bishop Man
nix, of Australia, and others Bishop
Mannix and | also were together in
London and worked together there.
Archbishop Hayes, of New York. did
great work for the cause in Rome.
Some day | will write the details of
the mission, but now is not the time.
But this will say:
Through me Llyod George invited
De Valera to come to London and try
to settle the Irish question without
exacting promises or making condi-
tions. He said that if Mr.. De Valera
would accept the invitation on these
terms, the Irish question could be set
tied, not in one meeting, but in a
series of meetings, Mr., De Valera &C.
copied and it turned out that Llyod
George was right.
The prime minister held that Sc
ries of conferences would lead to a
settlement without Ireland going out
of the British empire and yet taking
its place among the nations Of the
world
When / told Bishop Mannix the
terms of Lloyd Georges offer and the
invitation he could hardly believe his
ears. He said that if it had only been
made two years sooner the question
could have been quickly settled. Now
it would take more time, but he be-
lieved that under fair discussion, with
a reasonable spirit of give and take
and mutual desire to reach solu-
ton the proposed terms would bring
about an end to the age-old fight be-
tween Ireland and England.

his first annual report, announces that
he has mo recommendation to make
at this time relative to the naval es-
Enlistment" A proposed future pol
icy for the navy is embodied in the
American proposal to the arms confer

ence to this. His only statement as
regards the conference is a recogni-
ton Of "the arduous and excellent
work" performed by the navy general
board and individual naval officers in
the preparation of information prelim-
mary to 1t.
The naval budget for the next fiscal
year already has been submitted to
congress. 1t is based upon the OLD
policy OF "a navy second to none" and
contemplates continuation of the con-
struction of nine battleships and six
battle cruisers, which would be scrap
ned under the American proposal for
the limitation of world naval forces,
The total of the budget, $431,754,OOO
is 1854, 200, 900 less than the original
estimates, Mr.. Denhy's report dis
closes, the reductions having been
made as a result Of conferences Of
naval officials and budget officers.

"The loose smut of oats destroys
about one-tenth of the Georgia crop
each year, while bunt or sinking smut
and the loose smut together cut the
wheat yield here about ne-fourth,
says R. R. Childs, professor of agron-
omy OF the Georgia State College OF
Agriculture.
The extension division OF the col
lege OF agriculture says these diseases
may be eliminated by simple and in
expensive methods Of treating the seed
grains.
Loose smut of oats may be controll-
ed by either the dry" or wet" for
maldehyde method of treatment. The
dry method can be applied in the fol
lowing manner; mix one pint of for
maldehyde with one pint of water, pour
the mixture into a small hand spray
er. Pile the seed grain on tight floor
and shovel it over, applying the spray
about one stroke to each shovel full
of grain, making sure that all of the
grain is moistened by the spray. Then
shovel the grain into pile and cover
1t tightly with canvas or blanket for
five hours 1t should not remain COW
cred longer than this time Then spread
the seed out to air thoroughly. It is
now ready to plant or to put into sacks
that have been treated with the formal
dehyde spray. The grain drill should
also be sprayed out with the formalde-
hyde mixture. One quart of the spray
will treat from fifty to sixty bushels
of oats.
