Irish Must Decide on Remaining
in British Empire.

By the Associated Press,
LONDON. September 8. The British
net has invited Mr.. de Valera to
send delegates to a conference with the
cabinet ministers at Inverness on Sep
tember 20. according to the Daily Mail's
Inverness correspondent, who adds:
'Only one condition is imposed, name-
ly, the understanding sthaeNssaanA mase'
remain within the empire. :
communication to Mr.. de Valera,
according to this dispatch, asks for an
early reply, and points out the apparent
uselessness Of conducting negotiations
oy oyder so say any fs nStss fss2
Ulster, the decision that northern Ire
land must not in any circumstances be
coerced was reaf1rmed by the ministers.
Dealing with the cabinet meeting, the
Daily Mail says:
Doings at Conference.
"The premier told the ministers that
he regarded the situation as grave
and critical, and he. was convinced
that a further interchange Of notes
was useless. One minister, who had
been in personal contact with Sim
Fein opinion said he was informed
that it was the real intention of it's
Irish people after a further exchange
of notes and to insure that such
p1ebiscite resulted in a mandate for a
conference.
After the conflicting interpreta-
tions placed in Ireland and England
on the latest Sim Fein note were re-
ferred to the premier he said it was
necessary to impose a time limit and
ascertain beyond doubt whether the
Sim Fein was prepared to remain
within the empire. If SO. permanent
settlement was undoubtedly possible.
II not further negotiations were use
less. The cabinet therefore should
make another effort to secure an
agreement on. this point, with all the
blessings of peace to follow"
Thereupon the ministers quickly
made up their minds. and the decision
and invitation conveyed in the reply
were unanimous.
Peace Door Left Open.
Reports that the message sent to
meeting of the British cabinet at
Inverness yesterday was an invitation
TO Eamonn de Valera to send delegates
to a conference to be held on Septem-
ber 20. on condition that Ireland
should remain within the empire,
were printed by several newspapers
here today. Those newspapers which
comment editorially upon these re-
ports express satisfaction that the
door to peace has been left open.
1uS Has SlNcA tue OluH
Fein leader another chance to re-
trieve the prospect. which his blum
ders and those of the dali eirea mn
had so gravely compromised" said
the Chronicle. while the Daily Tele-
graph remarked: IF this indication
of the contents of the cabinets let
ter is accurate. the admirable pa
tience with which Mr.. Lloyd George
has followed his purpose is still
maintained, despite the daily stream
svNSr 10
which appears to be thought wise
and timely by the Sim Fem leaders"
The Daily Mail considered the invi-
tation to q conference "businesslike."
and declared it pointed to the finality
that ireland is offered the real thing
and the best thing the British en-
pire has to give.'

BIG ALLEY PROBLEM
More Than $500 Persons
Must vacate Side Street

Ratification Of the treaty of peace
with Germany will be a source of
relief to the national government.
but it will automatically bring
before the District Commissioners the
problem of providing for the $500
persons living in alleys in the city.
One year after peace is proclaimed
by the President all structures in
alleys must be abandoned for
dwelling purposes under a law
enacted by Congress back in 1914.
The law was slated to go into effect
July /. 1918. but because of the
here at that time, Congress continued
the date to one year afteE peace.

missioners has not had occasion to
look into, the alley law, the recent
signing Of the peace treaty has
brought it to their attention. and it
is likely thatfin the near future they
will take up the question. -
While WSshington's war population
has been reduced considerably, it ia
apparent to District officials that
residential property is still too
scarce,to make it possible for 5000
alley dwellers to hnd homes else
whefe.
May Await Normaley.
TT is probable that when the Com
take up the alley law they
win consider the advisability Of ask
ing Congress to further postpone it's
operations until housing conditions
return nearer to normal.
The alley law provides that GER
tain alleys may be converted into
minor streets provided they can be
made forty feet wide and can be cut
through from street to street.
A survey made not long ago for the
information of the Commissioners
shows that there are eighty alleys
that could be 30 converted. These
alleys, however, after being made
into minor streets would accomnno-
date only 1000 of the alley dwellers.
There would stiM remain 1900 to be
provided for.
The Commissioners. are undecided
today what steps they will take.
