BY Inviting De Valera and an associ-
ate to confer in London with him and
with Sir James Craig, premier Of VI.
ster. appears to have failed as have
all other attempts to settle the r0w.
Craig agreed to the conference, but De
Valera has baked. At first the Irish
president" wrote to Lloyd George -
temporizing letter, and. invited Craig
to meet him In Dublin for an exchange
Of views. Craig declihed, and De
Valera wrote him: MIR. Lloyd
Georges proposal, because Of its i'm
plications, Is impossible Of acceptance
in Its present form. Irish political
differences should be adjusted and
can, l believe, he adjusted on Irish
soil. 1t is obvious that in negotiating
peace with Great Britain the Irish de-
egation ought not to be divided, but
should act as q unit on some common
principle"
A London newspaper says the au.
thOrities have discovered and rruS
trated plot to murder tha British
cabinet ministers. 1t says the police
are seeking three men sent 20 Lon.
don to do the assassinating. They
are French medical student, an Irish.
man from the western part Of the
United States and Spaniard. The
same paper declares the forces Of the
Royal Irish constabulary are to be
quadrupled at ONCE.
Rather Unexpectedly, King Constan.
tine refused to defer his projected
offensive against the Turkish Nation
alists and permit the allies to try to
mediate. 1t was believed he knew
the Turks were getting ready to at
tack with BOlsheviSt aid and deter
mined to strike first. The British eX-
erted extreme pressure on the Greeks,
and up to the time of writing the only
fighting has been a rather bloody con-
tlict while the Greeks were withdraw
Ing from ISmid. Thursdays news dis
patches indicated that Constantine had
good grounds for his apprehension
The allied troops in COnstantinOple
were called into action to fOrestall a
vast uprising planned by the Turks
and the BOlsheviki, which was to he

In the death roll of the week ap-
pear two notable names. Charles j.
BOnaparte, eminent citizen of Ralti-
more and cabinet member during the
Roosevelt administration, died at his

of the great Napoleon. Lady Ran.

"The permanent success Of the bud
get system depends upon certain basic
principles, which at its inception must
be SO firmly established both as to
concept and rules Of action, that they
never hereafter will be questioned.
"The budget bureau must be i'm
partial, impersonal, and nonpolitical."
In concluding, he ordered the bureau
chiefs to their feet and, holding up his
hand, recited the following pledge, ad
dressed to the President:
these men, of whom I am one,
realize the perplexity Of your position,
realize that the business Of the cOun-
try is PROSTATE, that its working men
are out of employment, that we are
faced with inexOrable necessity of re-
ducing expenditures, and we propose,
just as we did four years ago to win
the war, to try to do it. And that's all
we can do"

There is sound, common sense in
the proposal made by Rabbi Philip
son, Of Cincinnati, to eliminate eu-
logies at funerals, and limiting the
services. Rabbi Philipson suggests
services he held later to honor
the memory Of any unusual man
who has contributed markedly to
the sum total of human endeayor
and achievement. But the funeral
service itself should be the same for
great and small, for rich and poor,
ror known and unknown" he adds,
since, however, unequal men may
be in life, they are equal in the COM
mon mortality whereof death is the
sign and symbol, and the same
funeral service for all would be the
most striking expression of this
equality"
