CONSIDER NOTE OPENS WAY FUR DISCUSSION IF PEACE PROPOSAL
Dail Eireann Meets This
 Morning To Consider Sit
 uation Following Reply To De Valera's Letter
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

4 DUBLIN, Aug. 26.-The letter of Prem er- Lloyd George to Eamonn de Valera wss received in Dublin late tonsszht. It's contents came as a sur prise l. the Sim Feiners. They had expected further arguments on the claims of Ireland they had raised, in- stead of a repetition of the essential conditions of the British government made known to MT. de Valera at the conference in Downing street month ago.
 A meeting of the Dail Eireann was hurriedly summoned for tomorrow morning at Il o'clock to consider the situation.
 In Dublin Castle quarters tonight the last sentences in the premier's letter are considered as making pos sible further meetings for discussions of the sit 1ation with representatives of the Sim Feiners unless they re- gard the words of the premier as a challenge.
 There is reason to believe that the people do not desire a resumption of the warfare at which the premier plainly hints as possibility in case there is delay in ending the contro- versy. It is thought the fear ex- pressed by MT. Lloyd George in this
  received of widespread drilling throughout the country by the Sim Feiners. They declare that they do not regard such activity as a breach of the truce, asserting that equal &C., tivity has prevailed in the military barracks and that machine gun practice awakens the Dublin citizenry every morning.
 1 The general impression in Sim Fein and other circles here today was that the exchanges between Mir. de Valera and MT. Lloyd George constituted only new stage in the prolonged negotiations.
 After today's public session of the Dali Eireann, at which Eamonn de Valera was unanimously elected leader of the Irish Republicans with 1 the title of president of the Irish republic, and Arthur Griffith, found CT of the Sim Fein, was chosen vice. president, a secret conference was held.
 According to report only business was transacted.
 Mir. de Valera, in accepting re- | election. said he had been credited | with doing things that had beer Mir. Griffith, Michael Collins, anC I had been differences between himsel1 and his colleagues, and that when ths British arrested him at Black Rock they found on him a document signed by the ministry which proved his as- sertion.
 The deputies of the parliament had arranged to return to their homes Saturday but tonight they are wait ing to hear what the next move 1T the situation will be. If the negotia- tions are to continue however, theil presence will not be required. as ths cabinet has plenary power to nego- tiate.
 During the session of parliament today an internal loan of 50O.0ot pounds and loan in the United ii States of s20.000, 900 was sanctioned Both MT. de Valera and Michael Col lins declared that these loans woult | (Continued on page p

TWO MORE zR-2 VICTIMS TAKEN WRECKAGE
tRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wIrel

HULL, Aug. 26.-Recovery from the wreck of the ZR-2 late today of two more bodies, those of Albert l.. Loftin, an American mechanic, and Flight Sergt. A. P. Martin of the British crew, and the near recovery of another. which slipped from the mass of wreckage just after it was brought to the surface, gave nope of finding other members of the crew.
 As the salvagers worked, another brief chapter in the tragedy was written when the coroners inquest on the bodies of Lieut.. Marcus H. Ester ly of Washington, D. C., Lieut.. Charles G. Little of Newburyport, Mass, and Lieut.. R. S. Montague of the British personnel was opened. The session was brief and, after talk ing some evidence, adjourned until Oct. 4. The formality enabled the coroner to issue burial certificates so that the bodies could be removed. Further inquiry is impossible at pres ent, owing to the lack of evidence and the fact that the most important witness, Flight Lieut.. A. H. Wann. must remain in the hospital another fortnight.
 The American air force was repre- scented by Lieuts. John B. Lawrence, Joseph B. Anderson and William R. Taylor. A number of British officers were present. John H. Grout, Ameri- can consul at Hull, was present as an observer.
 Vice Coroner Jackson, who presided over the inquest in the quaint old guild hall, opened witE an expression of sympathy on behalf of the court and city to the relatives of the dead in America and England. The pro- ceedings were over very quickly, as the jury already had viewed the flower covered bodies of Lieutenant Little in the infirmary and of Lieu tenants EsterIy and Montague in the mortuary.
 Lieutenant Taylor identified the two Americans. speaking in a voice which shook with emotion. A Brit ish air officer identified Lieutenant Montague.

 ARMY D|SbANDS AT REQUEST IF
 UNION OFFICIAL
Official Explains Course Planned By General Bandholtz And Miners Agree To End March
IRepubllean A. p. Leased Wirel

MADISON, w. Va, Aug. 26.-The march of the miners from Marmet to Mingo, in protest against martial law, came to an end late today when President c. F. Keeney of District No. IT. United Mine Workers of America, induced 500 or 500 of the men to agree to return to their homes. Keeney said that special trains would be provided for the men here while the thousands along the road between Madison and Peytena had already taken the back track.
 Mir Keeney said he was trying to have train here tonight. It is only short run over the Coal River branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to St Albans, on the main line, and as short from there to Charleston.
 He planned, he said, to get the men here aboard the train at the earliest possible moment for they were footsore and weary as many had marched long distances to Marmet. : A meeting of the advance guard of about 200 was held in the baseball park here, the men occupying the grand stand. Enough stragglers came in along the Peytona- Madison road to swell the gathering to about 500.
 The men sat in the bright>sunshine and listened intently while MT. Kee- ney and Secretary Mooney explained details of the conference with Briga- dir General H. Bandholtz, U. s. A., representing the war department in Charleston this morning. MT. Kee- ney said General Bandholtz insisted that the march end at once and ex- plained the possible course of the federal government if the men per- sisted in their determination to pass through Logan and into Mingo county.
 Two or three of the miners, said to be leaders among the men. also addressed the meeting. The more conservative speakers urged accept ing MT. Keeney's advice. Mir. Kee- ney promptly told them to go back home.
 That broke up the meeting, and some of the men who had joined the marching force from this vicinity im- mediately started for their homes.
 Keeney talked freely with newspa- per men of the march. and explained that as he and Secretary Mooney rode along from Charleston this morning they urged many miners to return to their homes.
 He said 1t was expected that the men would be out of the county with in the next two days.
 Mir. Keeney announced tonight he had gotten word to group headed for Logan county by way of Horse 1 Creek, to abandon the march, the last to be notified that the march l had been abandoned.
 l Reports from Indian and Lens | ,jnI1 !, pt snen were struggling homeward, indi cated all was quiet, Keeney said. The march ended with the men 6C 1 to 70 miles from their proposed ob- jective. the Mingo county bank of the l Tug river, SC miles from Marmet where the marchers assembled. Ths advance party had reached Madison 20 miles from the starting point whil, the main body had arrived at Indiar

BY HERBERT COREY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-Not long ago an eminent foreigner expressed the wish that the men who are to participate in the coming conference for the reduction of armaments might all be amateurs.

 The European Theory
 Pretty bad outlook. isn't ii? The European theory, as displayed in the European press. is that the Amer ican delegates will be a lot of young eyed enthusiasts gone mad with hon. esty. Europe seems to have an idea that it can slowly revolve a bright , object before their eyes. almost any bright object such as the Yap or the California situation, and while the American delegates are passing the catalepsy their pockets can be pick ed. It may be so. But there Is at least a hope that 1t distinctly may not be
