The English cabinet have sent its
reply to the note of the Irish leaders
and the Dali Eireann. King George
is taking an unusually active part in
this difficult problem and by this re-
moves much of the criticism from
his prime minister, whose enemies
would cause his downfall if possible.
The answer agrees to a conference,
but only on the basis of Ireland's
continuance in the Empire. The
English by this act agree to the Irish
demand for popular sovereignty as
basis of settlement. II remains to
see how the two can be harmonized.
The tone of the notes on both sides
is growing better, and there is less
threat of force and more of a de-
sire to rest on facts and reason.

A good deal of interest has been
expressed in regard to the contest for
the Davis cup for the world champion
ship in tennis. The competition was
between Japanese players and Ameri-
can. The U. s. won by three to
two. Such contests are valuable fac
tors in the more serious information
al relations. 1t was not long ago
that the boxing match between
a Frenchman and an American at
tracted worldwide interest. The
yacht races between England and the
U. s. have done much to create bet
ter feeling. The revival of the Olym-
pic games brings the athletes of
many nations into friendly competi-
ton. A little more of the sporting
spirit in international affairs would
be a benefit to all.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF PROPOSED

Washington, Sept. 14.-It has been
stated by high government officials
that the administration is consider.

without awaiting congressional ac-
ton.
President Harding, it was explain

road claims without further legisla-

He could make these sales, officials

the funding operations.
The return from the sale of the
certificates, amounting in the neigh.
borhood Of $4OO, 100000, then would
be available for further railroad

tant.
1t is believed by may that the i'm
mediate funding Of the railroad
claims would go far toward reducing
unemployment, as it is Conservatory
estimated that with the financial re-
lief obtained it would mean the EN-
ployment of a million more men.
A considerable part of .he existing
Unemployment, it is said, is due to
the position in which the railroads
find themseves-short of funds and
unable to make their normal pur'
chases and do their normal repair
and equipment work.

The coming conference on disarm-
ament is easily the foremost matter
Of interest among the nations. The
scope of the conference is becoming
more clear from occasional utter
ances of our President. It is to aim
only at partial disarmament and that
for economic reasons rather than
humanitarian. The people are being
gradually led to understand that
there is to be no attempt to establish
any Association of nations" but that
the U. s., as in the past, will be
content to act Independently, Offering
its good services in the interest of
peace, when any specific occasion
arises. The League of Nations is
not even to be recognized as exist

GETS LEGION'S CHALLENGE
Debate On Soldier Bonus Measure

Debate On Soldier Bonus Measure
Proposed
Washington, Sept. 14.-Officials of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce have been challenged by the
American Legion to debate the sol.
diers' adjusted compensation issue
thruout the country.
In an open letter sent to the
chamber by the national legislative
committee of the legion, it is sug-
gested that the chamber send Off
cials and representatives to meet the
legion officials 'in any city in the
country, or in every city in the coun.
try where there is q hall available
and an audience interested"
"You say that the adjusted COM
pensation or bonus bill is not gener-
ally understood" the legion chal.
lenge says. "The American Legion
is willing and anxious to do its share
in making it understood, and to abide
by the consequences. Is the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
like-minded or is 1t determined to
continue it's pussy-foot campaign Of
pamphleteering?"
In explaining why the legion is
asking the chamber to take part in
a nationwide joint debate on adjust.
ed compensation for veterans of the
World War, John Thomas Taylor,
vice chairman of the national legis-
lative committee of the legion, issued
a statement, in part, as follows:
THE Chamber of Commerce of the
United States thru resolutions adopt
ed at its last annual convention at
Atlantic City, April 27-29, went on
record as in favor of such construc-
tive measures as may be distinctly
calculated to enable ex-service men
to cultivate the soil, build homes or
obtain vocational education, but as
opposed to cash bonus" Since
that time its publicity bureau here
in Washington has been bombarding
the country with handouts and
pamphlets attacking the adjusted
compensation or bonus bill now pend
ing in Congress.
Representing, or supposedly rep
resenting, big business, the chamber
has made itself spokesman for not
only the opposition to the cash pay
ment feature of the bill, but to all
other features Of it, including even
those features which its national
convention expressly approved.
Both in and out of the legion,
among all ex-service men there is a
wide spread feeling that the chamb-
er's statements should not be permit
ted to go unchallenged. kilograms
and letters from ex-service men pour
ing in to legion headquarters sug.
gests that officials of the chamber
be asked to meet ex.service men in
public debate. 1t is therefore for the
purpose of carrying the issue to the
country as to which is right, the ex-
, service men of the country, or the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, that the American Legion has
challenged officials of the chamber in
a series of joint debates thruout the
country Pittiless instead of pitiful
publicity We ask the Chamber OF
Commerce to throw on the issue"

Accident Board to Continue Work

Helena.-Suspension of the Montana
industrial accident board was averted
Saturday by action Of the board of
examiners In authorizing the use Of the
1922 appropriation TO make up a de-
ficit Of $4,000 caused by a mistake of
the last legislature.
The appropriation bill OF the last
session gaxe $4,000 from the general
fund and $4,000 from the state In
dustrial accident fund for administra-
tive expenses of the board. It was
then found that the $4,000 item had
been taken from the wrong fund. An
other bill was passed to remedy the
error. The last bill never reached the
governor, having been lost.
Jerome g.. Locke, chairman Of the
accident board Informed the board OF
examiners that his office would have
to close unless something was done to
relieve the situation. His appropria-
ton WAS entirely expended.
After considering the question, the
attorney general ruled that II would
be legal to nse the 1922 appropriation
and any deficit could be made up by
the next legislature.

not run behind. but that it could op
