G~RASSHOPPERS ARE
DISCOVERED NEAR
CITY OF REYNOLDS

Somewhat of a phenomena for
North Dakota's early spring season,
graashoppers were discovered yester-
day by Louis Alderman in a field
neal Reynolds. A bottle was filled
with the lively pests and brought to
Grand Forks this morning and turned
over to County Agent D. B.. Norris.
The finding of the grasshoppers at
this time of year is no indication
that the pests will infest the fields
this year, according to Mr.. Morris,
who accounts for their appearance by
the high temperature during the
week. The "hoppers" are reported to
be quite plentiful in the vicinity of

PRIME MINISTER
REPLIES TO IRISH
lloyd GEORGE TELLS DE VA
LERA THAT ENGLAND WILL
NOT PERMIT IRELAND TO
WITHDRAW FROM BRITISH
COMMONWEALTH.

London, Aug. 26.-David Lloyd
uSaorge, the British prime minister,
today sent prompt rejoinder to the
letter of Eamonn de Valera, presi-
dent of the Irish republic which re-
iected the British governments
tersm for peace in Ireland.
The premier's note constituted a
firm reiteration of the governments
former standpoint, that Ireland
could not be permitted to withdraw
from the empire. He said he thought
.ase lad made it clear in converse
toms and previous communications
4hat the government stcan discuss no
xetSlement which involves a refusal
on the part of Ireland to accept a
free equal and loyal partnership in
The British commonwealth, under
one sovereign"
Mr.. Lloyd George, in concluding
Es note, still held open the door for
further negotiations with Mr.. de
Valera and his colleagues if they are
prepared to, examine how far the
governments consideration ;"can be
reconciled with the aspirations you
represent" He declared, however,
fhat the government could not "pro-
long a mere exchange of notes."
In his communication Mr.. Lloyd
George preserved the same friendly
time that characterized his former
ktters to Mr.. de Valera. Today he
huttressed the governments stand
point by quotations from Irish patri-
sts and Abraham Lincoln. He warn
cd Mr.. de Valera that a needless pro-
aonsation Of the negotiations would
smve to play into the hands Of the
extremists, who he declared, were
only anxious to wreck the negotia-
tions and terminate the truce.
A hopeful aspect Of the situation
rs it is viewed in London political
circles is that neither Mr.. de Valera
In his latest communication, nor
Kr. Lloyd George has yet closed the
door on, the negotiations.
