London.--Reports from Dublin to
both the government and the Irish rep
resentatives here indicate that there is
= strong demand among the rank and
tile of the Sim Feiners for accept
lnce of the governments invitation to
. conference at Inverness by Dali Fire.
ann at it's next meeting. 1t is pointed
out by Irish Representatives here that
1t is quite within the possibility for
the Irish to ignore the first parapraphs
Of Prime Minister Lloyd Georges let
Ter and to accept an invitation to "as-
certain how the association of Ireland
with the community OF nations known
rs the British empire can best be rec
onciled with the Irish national aspira-
TONS"
This is regarded as admitting dis
cussion of every possible relationship
even that of dual monarchy which
is said to be the solution gaining favor
among the moderates.
A most significant sign is that the
irish press has recovered its voice and
Is talking for the first time with some
show of independence. Every news
paper is urging acceptance.
| It is stated in Dublin that Mr.. de
Valera will not accompany the delega-
| ton to Inverness, but it will be led by
| Arthur Griffith. 1t is reported here
| that Mr.. Lloyd George is considering
postponing the date Of the conference
| for week. This is due to the fact that
that the highland gathering which
is the fashionable highland function Of
the year, takes place in Inverness dur

onstration.

Washington Democratic criticism
was leveled at President Harding be-
cause he did not appoint Senator Bor-
all Of Idaho member of the American
delegation to the disarmament confer
ence.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
ranking democratic member OF the
said Borah's appointment would have
been a guarantee of a very earnest
and determined effort to produce i'm
mediate results"
At the same time Hitchcock called
on all democrats to give moral sup
port to the effort being made by this
conference to promote armament re-
duction''
He said he realized that the Amer
Jean delegation must, in the end, rep
resent Harding's views and policies.
In this respect the selection OF
Hughes, Root, Lodge ands Underwood
"should cause general satisfaction =
Hitchcock said, as they constitute
strong committee" and one in thor
ough accord with Harding's moderate
program.
Some Of us would have been glad
to see men on the committee who hold
more advanced views on disarmament
than President Harding is supposed 10
hold" Hitchcock added.

around the fact that Harding selected
four men whose public careers nave
been marked by the same characteris'
tic-con serSatism.
A "safe and sane" delegation is the
way political opinion characterized
Hardings selections. In ultra-progres-
sive circles the delegation is regarded
as. .stand-p pat" and reactionary, with
the exception of Underwood.

TO THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF
LAFAYETTE COUNTY.

AS clerk of the Lafayette Coun-
ty Association, | am addressing this
letter to you through the Eagle, to
let you know that at least $50 90 more
is needed for the printing of the minu-
ties of the association. Until this
amount is in hand cannot close a con-
tract for the printing of the minu-
ties. The manuscript is ready for the
printer. but must be held until enough
money is in hand to have the printing
done. Some churches have sent no
minute money and some have sent
so small an amount that it does not
help much toward the printing of the
minutes. Let the pastors and the Of
ficials of the churches who sent moth
ing and of the churches who sent only
small sum see to it at once that
enough is sent in to have the minutes
printed. The minute will be larger
than usual on account of having the
Constitution and Rules of Decorum
printed Do not neglect this matter
but attend to it at once. | can do no.
thing until the money is in hand. l
am not asking for any thing for my
services.

Other Sections Of Bahama Islands Loe'
ing Population.
Nassau, Bahamas.-The Bahama ISL
ands, the British colony lying off tbs
Atlantic coast, show decrease in pop
nlation during the last ten years, prin-
cipally on account of emigration to
Florida. This is the first decline in
numbers in the recorded history Of tho
colony.
The census just announced places
the. population at 1894, which marks
a decrease of 1913, or 6.2 per cent
since 1911. Demand for labor in the
United States is regarded rs the cause.
The Bimini Islands, where much Hq-
uor was sent to the United States
when it went dry, has a population OF
610 people, an increase of 1874 in the
10 years.

ARGENTINA READY TO BUY.


American Exporters May Compete Sue
eessfuIly, Commissioner Says.
New York.--Argentina is on the
verge OF a purchasing boom for all
classes of merchandise and conditions
there are such that American export
ers may successfully compete with any
other foreign country, Robert S. Bar
rett, a former United States trade COM
missioner to South America, said here.
Mr.. Barrett has just returned home
after making survey Of the CONNER
cial situation in Argentina.
American prices are higher, due to
the exchange situation, with IS per
cent premium on the American dollar,
he said. The exchange Is offset, how
ever, by the fact that deliveries from
Europe are slow.
