INVERNESS MEET OFF

London, Sept. 15-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The arrangements for
the proposed Irish peace conference
are cancelled, but the negotiations
still are not ruptured. This in brief
is the story of today's unexpected
and surprising developments.
cannon de Valera, the Irish repub-
lican leader. having reaffirmed his
claim to enter the conference as the
representative of an independent
sovereign state, Premier Lloyd
George declares that such admission
is impossible. He announces the
cancellation of the arrangements for
a conference and the necessity of
consulting his colleagues on the sub
ject.
The premier is careful not to close
the door to possible resumption of
the negotiations On the contrary,
he gives Mr.. De Valera and his sup
porters the amplest time and oppor-
tunity to reconsider their position.
He describes himself even as laid
up" at Gairloch, necessitating a few
days delay.
Declaring that there was but one
answer to a claim which would be
equivalent to Great Britain's ac-
acknowledgements of Ireland's right to
negotiate a treaty of closer relation
with some other foreign power" he
mildly reproaches the Irish people
for taking no single step to meet the
generous advances of the British
government.
The whole tone of the letter, in
fact, reveals that the premier still
retains hope of some more favorable
development. incidentally, the pre-
mier's letter clears up the mystifying
events of the last few days, showing
that Mr.. De Nalera's reply was taken
by McGrath and Boland to Gair-
loch, but. that the premier tried UNI
successfully to persuade modification
of its tenor and offered to regard it
as not having been delivered.
The fact that Mr. De Valera and
his colleagues failed to take advan-
tage of this offer is considered an
adverse factor and lends a serious
aspect to the situation.
The prospect is that there will be
no move now from either side for n
few days. 1t is noteworthy that in
the final exchanges the traditional
diplomatic methods of sending notes
by courier were dropped in favor OF
the more expeditions telegraph lines
