Dublin Optimistic Return to
War Not Feared Now. ~

Dublin, Aug 23.-The formal reply
of the Sim Fein to the English peace
proposals probably. will not be for
warded to London until Saturday, it
was learned here this afternoon.

met has yet drawn up the draft of the
reply to Premier Lloyd George is not
known. None of the Sim Fein of
ficials would discuss the matter either
privately or for publication.
There was an air of optimism in
Dublin, especially in press circles. 1t
was understood that Eamonn de VAL
era was in negotiation with high
parsonage who heretofore has not
been connected with the peace pro-
ceedings.
Enter Catholic Church.
The participation of the Roman
Catholic church in the peace delibera-
tions has been emphasized by the de-
livery to De Valera of a communica-
ton from Monsignor Edward Null
hearn, bishop, of Dromore.
The contents of the letter were not
made public until the republican
president" took it under considera-
tion. 1t is reported that the author
of the letter was Cardinal Logue, pri-
mate of Ireland.

Farmers Suffering Severe Losses, Gov
ernment Inspector Reports.
Hog cholera prevails in a number of
places in Shawnee. county, according
to DIR, Harry NJ CAaefe, inspector in
charge of the bureau of animal indus
Try, United. States department of agri-
culture and several hog producers
have sustained severe losses.
One farmer near Valencia saved
only seven from forty-five head of
fine Poland. Chinas. and another farm
er at Wakarusa reports a loss of fifty.
Out of a herd of 200 head, a Silver
Lake farmer has lost about so per
cent, and there are other sick herds
in the county.
{" Reports to the bureau of animal in
dustry show that the disease has now
made its appearance in practically all
of the counties in the eastern half of
the state, and recent outbreaks have
occurred around Emporia. Smith Cen
ter and Howard. The cholera is now
present in genuine epidemic form,
Doctor Graefe says, and its future ex-
tent depends largely upon what pre-
ventive measures the farmers use and
the cooperation given the federal and
state departments in combating the
spread of the disease.
