WHOLLY coNcILlAroRY"

The Associated Press reports that
Lloyd Georges last note to de Valera
is regarded both in London and in
Dublin as wholly conciliatory."
Here is the text Of the note:
Sir-His Majesty's Government
have given close and earnest con-
sideration to the correspondence
which has passed between US since
their invitation to you to send dele
gates to a conference at Inverness.
In spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and, in spite of the more con-
ciliatory tone of your latest COM
munications, they cannot enter into
a conference upon the basis of this
correspondence.
Notwithstanding your personal as
surance to the contrary which they
much appreciate, it might be argued
in the future that the acceptance Of
a conference on this basis had in
volved them in a recognition which
no British Government can accord.
On this point they must guard them
selves against any possible doubt
There is no purpose to be served by
any future interchange of ex-
planatory and argumentative com
munications upon this subject The
position taken up by His Majesty's
Government is fundamental to the
existence of the British empire, and
they cannot alter it, My collea CUES
and I remain. however. keenly anx-

el4ort to explore every possibility Of

made have been taken by the whole
world as proof that our endeavors for
reconciliation and settlement are no
empty form, and we feel that confer
ence. not correspondence. is the most
practical and hopeful way t6 an I'M
Outstanding such as we ardently de-
sire to achieve.
We therefore send you herewith a
fresh invitation to conference in
London on Oct. II. where we can
meet YOUR delegates as the spokes-
men Of the people whom YOU repre-
sent with a view to ascertaining how
the association of Ireland with the
community of nations known as the
British Empire may best be recon-
cilcd with Irish national aspirations

Aions in the Woods


Alone in the woods with the violets
How quiet and peaceful all seems,
The twitter of birds in the tree tops
And the gentle nurnnur Of streams.
How soft the moss meath my tootstep
How green each leaf on the trees.
An orchestra taught by Old Nature
The hum of the distant bees.
Alone in the midst Of the wildwood
What message Of peace doth il

No church made by hands can equal
Gods house of Nature in spring.
Each tiny flower doth whisper
Be good, be sweet, be true.
The violet turns it's face upward
To the sky which gave it hue.
1t breathes lcok upward ever;
For beauty comes from above,
Thus whispers this tiny flower
TO all whom nature love.
So teaches nature in all things
Only that which is best.

She may surprise you some day"
Mai. Grantland commented quietly.
and with a brim little smile 1 made
myself a promise that some day when
Dicky least expected it I would sur
prise him by driving his big car off
before his eyes. The long lesson 1
had taken from Mai. Grantland in
the afternoon had banished all fear
Of a big car.
I'll just go up and help YOU down
with your things. then, Madge,"
Dicky said. and Maj. Grantland rose
and looked at his watch.
"I'll have the car ready in less
than five minutes" he said. And
while we have plenty Of time, yet we
must always count on possible delays

His tone and words spelled haste.
and I promptly rose and started for
