The text of De Valera's latest
message 10 Lloyd Gorge follows:
I'VE who have never at any time
thought Of asking you to accept
any conditions precedent to the
conference. have thought that it is
unreasonable to expect you as a
preliminary, to recognize the Irish
republic, just as IL is that you
should expect US. formally or in
formally, to surrender our national
position
1T is precisely because neither
side accepts the position OF the
other that there Is a dispute at all
and that a conference Is necessary
to search for and discuss such ad-
justments as might compose 1t.
Treaty Is Suggested.
"A treaty OF accommodation and
association properly concluded be-
Islands and between Ireland and
one group OF states Of the British
commonwealth would. we believe.
end the dispute forever and enable
the two nations to settle down to
peace, each pursuing its own In
dividual development and contrib
uting its own quota to civilization,
but working together in free and
friendly cooperation in affairs
agreed to be of common concern.
To negotiate such a treaty the
representatives of the two nations
must meet. Ir you seek 20 impose
preliminary conditions which we
must regard rs involving surrender
Of our whole position, they cannot
meet.
Ready for Free Conference.
Your last telegram makes II
clear that Observation-Disclosures are
likelier to increase than to diminish
and that the cause Of peace is
more likely to be retarded than ad-
vanced by a continuance of the
present correspondence.
I'VE request you, therefore. to
state whether your letter Of Sep
tember Z. is intended to be de-
mand for surrender on our part, or
an invitation to a conference free
on both sides and without prejudice
should an agreement not be reached.
II II means the latter, we readily
confirm our acceptance to the in
vitation at anytime in the immedi-
ate future you designate"

BRITAIN WOULD TREAT
ALL DEBTS AS WHOLE
LLOYD George Wants to Lump Inter-
allied War lndebtedness-Asks
for REIMBURSEMENT.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The British
government has informally advised the
United States that, when negotiations
for the payment Of it's war debt are
resumed, it will insist upon general
REIMBURSEMENT of the interallied IN
debtedness as the basis for a maj
settlement, it was learned authorl-
tatiyely here.
According to information in Official
quarters, Great Britain believes that
in liquidating the war loans. those
made by the United States to the al
lies and those made among themselves
should be treated as a whole instead
of severally. Her idea, it is said, IS
that it will facilitate the liquidation
While the British government has
proposed no definite plan for handing
the war Indebtedness, the tentative
suggestion has been made that each
country issue uniform bonds to the
amount Of it's obligations, which would
afterward be exchanged among them
selves in final settlement.
The British attitude is having dis
quieting effect in administration cir
cles. 1t is Numerically opposed to
that of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion and severe complications between
the two governments are in prospect
if she persists in her view.

MARS SIGNAL, MARCONI HOLDS
Wireless Waves Lead Famous Inven-

Message.

New York, Sept. 3.-Wireless waves
10000 meters long, which he believed
might have come from Mars, were
picked up several months ago by
Guglielmo Marconi, wireless telegraph
inventor, during experiments aboard
his yacht Electra in the Mediterra-
mean.
j. G. FL. Macbeth, London manager
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, made this ftatement at q
luncheon of the Rotary club.
The maximum wave length produced
In the world today was $4,000 meters,
Mr.. Macbeth said, and the regularity
of the waves detected by Mr.. Marconi
and other experts led them to believe
that they Were not electrical disturb
ances, but efforts Of Mars to get into
communication with the earth. The
only resemblance of the waves to any
code used on the earth was a SINH
larity to the letter V in the interna-
tional code.
