IRISH REFUSE
PEACE TERMS
LLOYD GEORGE DENIES RIGHT
OF IRELAND TO SEcEDE-
OFFICIALS DEADLOCK.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL
ALL NEGOTIATIONS ON SUBJECT
REvEALED-NEW DEMAND
FOR INDEPENDENCE.
twrstern Newspaper Union News Service. }

London-EamlnOn de Valera, lead
er OF the IRISH republicans, has re-
fused TO accept the proposals OF the
BRUSH government, constituting do
minion government and having as
their basis the bringing about of
peace in Ireland He declares that
the conditions sought to be imposed
constitute interference in Irish affairs
and control which cannot be permit
ted. On the other hand, Mr.. Lloyd
George has informed Mr.. De Valera
that there can be no compromise on
the question of the right of Ireland
to secede from her allegiance to the
king. The premier tells Mr.. De Va
lera that the conditions of the pro-
posed settlement contain no desire on
the part of Great Britain for British
ascendancy over Ireland or the i'm
pairment of Ireland's national ideals.
Our proposals present to the Irish
people" says the premier, IAN oppor-
unity such as never has dawned in
heir history before. We have made
them in Il sincere desire to achieve
peace, but beyond them we cannot
CO.
Mr.. Lloyd George leaves open the
door for possible further negotiations
with Mr.. De Valera by saying that
the government will discuss the ap-
plication of the principles of its offer
whenever acceptance of the principles
is communicated to him.
The official records in the Irish
peace negotiations were made public
unexpectedly. They show seemingly
a deadlock, based on vital difference
between De Valera and the premier
De Nalera's renewed insistence on in.
dependence and that Ulster shall be re-
garded merely as a minority faction
of an Irish nation.
The disclosures constitute the keen
est polotical sensation since the close
of the war. The politicians of both
England and Ireland tonight were dis
cussng the question whether the door
had been closed on further negotiations.
They seemed to find in the cOncilia-
tory tons of the correspondence, how
ever. ground for hope that some bridge
might yet be built across the chasm
of difference over the question of in
dependence.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
all depends on the temper or the Dali
Eireann when ii meets in Dublin on
Tuesday but that altogether Ireland
stands at present at the most critical
point of her history.
Great Britain offered Ireland COM
plete autonomy in finance and taxa
ton, military forces for home defense,
her own police, and, among other
things, control of the Irish postal
service

EDNA.

IF THERE was ever name with
out home or country antecedents
or parentage it seems to be Edna.
Etymologists record frankly nothing
In the case of Edna. She seems to
have just appeared. Something about
her Is reminiscent of the Morse and we
can imagine Valkyries or the dnugh-
tiers Of Vikings bearing such name,
but history falls to back up our fancy.
1t must seem then that Edna came
In some way from the ever popular
masculine Edward. 1t may. indeed,
be contraction of the feminine form
Edwina. Such being the case. Edna's
hncestress must have been the famous

mad" AND "ANGRY."

r. EW words are more frequently mis-
L used than mad AMI angry" 1t
must be confessed, however. that there
is some excuse for the misuse of the
words, since many psychologists hold
that it is difficult to tell, when the emo
tons of person are aroused, just
where anger ends and madness begins
But in grammar there is sharp dis
tinction between "angry" and mad"
The former means to be veXed or out
of patience, while the latter indicates
madness, insanity. A person who is
insane is mad. but n person whose
mail is delayed is not mad, but mere
" angry. There is figurative use of
the word "mad"-that is, use in
which the words are not to be taken
literally-such as mad with pain"
mad with terror" etc
"I am mad at that fellow" says a
man; "he cheated me In stock deal"
He should say, 81 am angry at that
fellow" etc.

TIME NOT WHOLLY WASTED
Youth Missed Acquiring Academic
knowledge, but Probably Learned
Something Worth While.

The pursuit of learning Is not al
ways an ensy matter as a young stu
dent found who set forth from Brls-
bane to study at Edinburgh, for when
he reached the port of Falmouth he
found that, owing to having taken 200
days on the journey at sea, the term
was over. Contrary winds and other
contretemps accounted for the delay,
during which the crew had to set
about finding means of turning some
of the corn they We're carrying as
cargo into bread. They found an old
berry -mill-but the story is too long
to tell. 1t is one of the seas many
yarns. and leaves the conviction that
that student if he is worth his salt,
will not object to having lost some OF
the academic year learning of the
ways of barque on the ocean,

save in some place like Bermuda
where boat bringing mail actually
carries off the next outgoing mail.
Any way there Is q certain abrupt
ness about the expression that makes
1t unsuitable even for business which
should always be courteous even
though to the point. "At your earliest
convenience" Is better expression.
But why use any of those stereotype
expressions that are seldom used any,
where but in letters? The man now
who writes the best business letters
writes MS he would talk and says in
stead "as soon us you can" Or "as
soon as possible" or something of that
sort.
Don't use the ending Every truly
yours" In anything but business
letter. 1t is no longer the right end
ing for social purposes or letters be-
tween personal friends.
Don't use the ending Respectfully
yours" in ordinary business CORE
spondence. 1t is the correct ending In
an official or business letter addressed
to the President, ii might properly be
used In addressing the vice president
or justice of the Supreme court. but
to use it simply because you are writ
ing to someone whom you wish to do
business with has an air OF too great
