Lloyd George Firm Against Meeting
"Sovereign Power" Delegates
Telegram Gives Sim Feiners
Chance to Alter Stand,

London - Premier Lloyd George
added another to the brisk fire of tele.
grams between Dublin and Gairlcch,
which leaves Eamonn De Valera's
search for formula enabling him to
accept the invitation to a conference
still unsatisfed. - *
In his message to the Irish republi
can leader, the British prime minister
remains firm in refusing to meet the
Irish delegates as representing an in
dependent and sovereign state and de.
clares that unless that section Of Mr..
De Valera's recent letter insisting
upon the delegates acting as represen-
tatives of an Independent Ireland, was
withdrawn, conference between the
members of the cabinet and the Sim
Fein plenipotentiaries would be i'm:
possible.
Opening Is Indicated.
Notwithstanding the firm tone of
Mr.. Lloyd Georges telegram, it is in.
terpreted as displaying solicitude to
furnish Mr.. De Valera a favorable
opening for abandoning his present at.
titude ):
The text of the telegram follows: :
II have received your telegram and
observe it does not modify the claim
that your delegates should meet us as
representatives of sovereign and in
dependent state =. ~
"You made no such condition in ad-
vance when you came to. see me in
July. invited you then to meet me,
in the words of my letter, as the
chosen leader of the great majority in
southern Ireland, and you accepted the
invitation.
Allegiance to Throne.
From the very outset of our con-
versation I told you that we looked to
Ireland to own allegiance to the
throne, and to. make her future as a
member of the British commonwealth.
That was the basis of our proposals,
and we cannot alter it.
."The status you now claim in ad-
vance for your. delegates is in effect a
reputation of that basis. l am pre-
pared to meet your delegates, as met
you in July, in the capacity of the
chosen. spokesmen for your people to
discuss the association of Ireland with
the British commonwealth
"My colleagues md I cannot meet
them as representatives of a sovereign
and Independent state without dis
loyalty on our part to the throne and
the empire. I must therefore repeat
that unless the second paragraph of
the letter of the twelfth is withdrawn
conference between us is impos.
sible."

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them -.
"DlFFER WITH" "DIFFER FROM"

>DETWEEN the proper use Of the
IL term differ from" and the proper
use of differ with" there is a
clear distinction, although it is for
gotten frequently, even by some writer's
and speakers who are careful in the
use Of words.
For person to differ from another,
or for thing to differ from another,
he or 1t must be unlike, in appearance,
In manner, or in some other character
1stic, while to differ with a person
means to disagree with him in opin-
ion or belief. 1t follows, therefore,
that, while thing may differ from
another, it cannot differ with another,
since only thinking beings can have
difference in belief or opinion. For
example, II differ from John in stat
ure, but I differ with him in our views
on the present national policy"

DIDN'T YIELD TO TREATMENT

From one Of the larger hospitals In

Young and well-trained nurse, who
collaborated in the conscientious
treatment Of the left eye Of patient
who had been sent to the hospital for
an operation.
1t is said that, following the opera

failed to dilatp in accordance to In
structiOnS in the book, and the young
physician became somewhat con-
cerned. AS to just why the pupil was
expected 10 grow larger at the time
Is not known TO the layman, but the
fact remains that the doctor prescribed
an eye bath and instructed the at
tending nurse to apply it every hat
hour throughout the night. After the
eye had been bathed, the lid wal
pulled down and maSsaged thoroughly

VALUE OF DEEP BREATHING
Western Peoples Have Not a Proper
Comprehension Of Its immense
Importance.

Singers are not the only persons VINO
need 10 learn to breathe deeply; the
practice is good for every one, say the
neurologistS, and they add that we Oh
the western lands have paid altogether
too little attention to correct resplra-
ticn and still less to the good effects OF
deep breathing.
In the Orient they look very dltter-
entity upon it and lay great stress upon
its constant and regular practice. Inc
eastern philosophers teach that the
mental powers, self-control, clear VI
sion, happiness and even morals are
dependent in great measure upon thls
practice of deep breathing.
1t includes the play Of the whole res
piratory Spparatus-every part OF the
lungs, every air CELL every respiratory
muscle, is to be brought into action. In
modified breathing only part OF the
cells are fhed with oxygenated air,
and the muscles are only partly en-
pIoyed.
To breathe deeply requires that one
should stand erect and inhale steadily
through the nostrls. First fill the low
er part of the lungs. then the middle
part by pushing out the lower ribs ana
breast bone. and finally the higher
part by elevating the chest. Hold the
breath for a few seconds and eXhaIe
slowly through the mouth.
Deep breathing promotes il sort OF
massage Of the internal organs anc
produces d soothing effect on the
nerves.

NOW THE "DIRIGIBLE" BOMB
Steered by Wireless, Its Possibilities
for Deadly Work Are Almost
Beyond Calculation.

A "dirigible bomb" that can be
steered toward the target by wireless
after being let fall from an alrplahe,
is the novel invention of Elmer a.
Sperry of Brooklyn.
Ordinarily, when bombs are dropped
from aircraft, the chances of mss
are great. The speed and altitude or
the plane, or balloon, have to be taken
into account, and the wind, also. ID
viously it would be of utmost adNah'
tage IL the path of descent OF lHe
gravity projectile could be changed at
will while it was falling.
The Sperry drigible bomb carries a
parachute, which, unfolding as 1t starts
to drop, not only slows the rate OF It's
descent, but incidentally serves as a
..drag-rudder." BY fitting this drag
rudder In one direction or another the
bombs path of descent is controlled.
As the projectile starts to fall, Il sec
ond and very tiny parachute is iiOer-
ated from the top of the bomb TO sup
port vertically a wire that serves the
purpose of an antenna. 1t Is by the
help of this antenna that the man IN
the airplane is enabled so to operate
the radio apparatus carried in his ma
chine as to alter at will the angle OF
the dragrudder.
While the bomb is going down he
circles about and steers it by radio
All he has to do to make the bonn
turn this way or that is to turn han
die connected with his radio sender
in the desired direction. Thus the
bomb is made to land exactly where II

course. the most Observation-Disclosures

prone to forget the mailing of impor-

the old trick of placing postcard al

"No. dearest, l didn't forget to mail
