 Text of Telegram
 The text of MT. DeValesa's tele- gram follows:
 Sir: We have had no thought nt any time of asking you to accept any conditions precedent to a conference. We would have thought 1t as un- reasonable to expect you, az a pre- liminary, to recognize the Irish republic formally or informally, as that you should expect us. formally or informally, to surrender our nat ional position. It Is precisely be- cause neither side accepts the posi- ton of the other that there is a dis pute at all and that conference IS necessary to search for and discuss such adjustments as might com pose it.
 "A treaty of accommodation and association, properly concluded be- tween the people of these two Islands and between Ireland and the group of states in the British common wealth would. we believe, end the dispute forever and enable the two nations to settle down in peace, each pursuing it's own individual develop ment and contributing it's own quota to civilization, but working together in free and friendly cooperation in affairs of agreed common concern.
 ITO negotiate such a treaty the respective representatives of the two nations must meet, but If you seek to impose preliminary conditions which we must regard as involving the surrender. of our whole position, they cannot meet.
 Your last telegram makes 1t clear that misunderstandings are more likely to increase than diminish and the cause of peace Is more likely to be retarded than advanced by the continuance of the present corre- spondence.
 We request you, therefore, to state whether your letter of September ' Is intended to be a demand for sur render on our part of an invitation to conference. free on both sides and without prejudice should an agreement not be reached.
 If the latter, we readily confirm our acceptance of the invitation, and our appointed delegates will meet your governments representatives at any time in the immediate future that you designate"
 The communication Is signed:
 
 T am, sir, yours faithfully,
 .DeValera." Premier Lloyd Georges letter Of was the one in which he asked Mir. DeValera for a definite reply as to whether he was prepared to enter conference to ascertain how the association of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British Empire can best be recon eiled with Irish national aspira- tions." To this, Devalera replied in the but added to his reply the paragraph now in dispute, say ing: Tn this final note we deem 1t our duty to re-affirm that our position is and can only be as we have de- fined it throughout this correspond ence Our nation has formally de- clared it's independence and recog- nizes itself as a sovereign state. IL is only as representatives of that state and as It's chosen guardians that we have authority or power to act on behalf of our people"

There is s)me sham success. and

township committee had a personal canvass made of the
people directly concerned and found that a majority favored
concrete. This is quite different from the method adopted
by the Board of FreehOlders.
In deciding to pave North Main street, Metuchen, the
freeholders first advertised for bids for warrenite, a mate
rial controlled by the patent pavement interests, and then
when the bids were about to be received, decided to invite

they preferred for the pavement.
No doubt the cost of laying concrete as compared with
lie patent material has a great deal to do with the decision

get a first class pavement besides. The difference in the
cost of the two pavements will go a long way toward paving
