'IRELAND'S WISH
TO JOIN LEAGUE
SURPRISES u. S.
Irish-Americor1s HoUe
FroIDned or, Idea
in Past.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1921
(SpecieI IN Tho Ar0usl
cial to The Argus.)

Washington, Sept 10. - Eamonn
de Valera's insistance that the
British government grant Ireland
a membership in the League of Ma
tions as one of the guarantees of
autonomy has caused much sur
prise here, where the news was re-
garded as having special bearing
on Americas political situation.
The general impression here has
been that the Irish were unalter-
ably opposed to the League OF Ma
tions and that the Americans of
Irish descent who in the last cam
paign left the Democratic party in
large numbers because of its es-
pousal of the league were in abso-
lutte harmony with the wishes of
the leaders in Ireland In the state
of Massachusetts the Irish were so
powerful in the Democratic party
that an attempt to endorse the
league at state convention result
ed in the absence of most of the
Democratic leaders. To the Wilson
argument that the League of Ma
tions would protect Ireland's terri
torial integrity whenever she OBJ
tanned independence, the answer
was made that the league covenant
would put Ireland in chains and
force America to help Great Brit
ain in the event of war between
Ireland and England. Article 10
was held to be means of compell-
ing the United States to side with
England, Notwithstanding the in
sistence Of the leagues friends that
the protection of territorial integ-
rity meant against external ag-
gression" only.
Official Comment Lacking.
The news conveyed here from
London by the Associated Press
that Eamonn de Valera wants to be
assured that Great Britain will
grant Ireland membership in the
League of Nations as well as the
dominion conferences on the same
basis as Canada, New Zealand, Aus
tralia and South Africa. is inter
preted variously here. Government
fficials, of course, are loath to dis
cuss the Irish situation. This cor
respondent -for-example, inquired
Of the department of state If the
United States government were
using it's good offices, either unof-
fcially or off cially, formally or in
formally, in the threatening situa-
ton between England and Ireland,
and the answer came back, No"
There is no evidence that the

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Dynamiting of
the Des PLANES river at haywood,
a Chicago suburb, was in progress
today in an effort to recover the
body of Carl Asmus, companion of
Bernard J. Daugherty, automobile
salesman, whose handcuffed and
mangled body was found in the
river yesterday. Asmus, who came
from Bloomington, has disappeared
and is believed to have suffered a
fate similar to that Of Daugherty.
Detectives expressed the belief to-
day that Daugherty and Asmus
had been lured to the basement of
house in haywood, where they
had been killed, the bodies mana
cled together with handouts.
weighted with stones and tossed
into the river. Detectives believe
that the handouts broke, allowing
Daugherty's body to be carried to
shallow water.
Suspect is Arrested.
Harvey NJ. Church, whom the po-
lice suspect of committing the muir
ders, was today being brought back
to Chicago by a squad of detectives
from Adams, Wis, where he was
arrested yesterday. He made the
trip in the automobile which
Daugherty had been trying to sell
him and was accompanied by his
mother. Mrs Chruch was not ar
rested.
Richard B. Asmus, father of the
missing man, and Mrs. Ausmus ar
rived here from Bloomington. The
father is music dealer and Mrs.
Asmus has been prominent in so
cial service work and is now serv-
ing her third term as school
board member.
Was Second Victim!
The police are working on the
theory that Asmus was a second
victim. Hats with Asmus and
Daugherty's initials in them were
found in the basement of the
Church home.
Daugherty, who was a former
captain in the tank corps, was
large and of athletic build. Aus
mus was also a well-built man, and
their physical contrast with the
rather frail 26-year-old Church is
one of the puzzling features of the

sue of mo Sepa-
ration.

Dublin, Sept. 10.-United Press)
Sim Fein's reply to Lloyd
Georges latest note probably will
insist upon De Valera's interpreta-
ton of self-determination, avoid the
issue of no separation from the
Empire" and agree to a conference
to decide what relation with Bri-
tain is possible, the United Press
was authoritatively informed today.
Formal decision to accept the
British proposal for a conference
at Inverness will wait upon the Sc
cret session of the Dali Eireann
next Wednesday.
London, Sept 10.-Prime Minister
Lloyd Georges invitation to
Eamonn de Valera and his col
leagues to confer as to basis for
a settlement of the Irish contro-
versy must await action by the
Irish republican parliament. That
body will meet in secret session
next Wednesday at which time it
is assumed the prime minister s
latest note to Dublin will be sub
mitted and a decision will be reach
ed as to acceptance or rejection of
the invitation.
Dali Must Meet.
1t was understood when the re-
publican parliament adjourned at
Dublin recently that it had con-
ferred plenary powers on Mr.. de
Valera and his colleagues The
note from Mr.. Lloyd George, how
ever, is asserted to have brought
a factor into the situation which
made it necessary for the parlia-
ment to meet and when the scope
of the mandate it gave its leaders.
The members of the parliament,
it is pointed out, took the oath of
allegiance to the Irish republic
and the government of the Irish re-
public" and pledged themselves not
to yield voluntary support to any
pretended government, authority or
power within Ireland, hostile or IT,
imical thereto"
Thus it would appear that the
condition precedent that there
could be no separation of Ireland
from the British empire, which was
laid down by Lloyd George, would,
in effect, call on Mr.. de Valera and
members of his ministry to recog-
nize a government, authority or
power" in Ireland other than that
of the Dali Eireann if they accepted
his invitation.
1t would also seem that they
must be especially empowered to
meet the prime minister on the
basis laid down in his latest note.
Announcement in Dublin yester-
day that the Dali Eireann had been
called to meet next Wednesday was
variously construed here but there
were not wanting those who be-
| lieved Irish chieftains would find a
way to attend the conference.
1t was reported that, if necessary
| the date of the meeting, tentatively
| fixed for Sept 20 by the prime min
lister, might be postponed a week
so that the Dali Eireann and its
! leaders would not be Inconvenience
by the short period intervening.
