the provisional government in Ire
land, as follows:
Il take the earliest opportunity, in
this hour of tragedy for Ireland and
of intense difficulties for the Irish
provisional government, OF assuring
you of the confidence felt by the
British government that the treaty
position will be faithfully and reso-
lutely maintained.
THE death of two of the principal
signatories the retirement OF another
and the desertion OF the fourth IN no
way affects the validity and sancity or
the settlement entered into with the
plenipotentiaries of the Irish nation. On
the contrary, We are sure that the pro-
.. visional government and the Irish peo-
pie will feel it all the more q sacred
duty to carry into full effect the act Of
remuneration between the two Islands.
For our part we hold ourselves bound
on the treaty basis and will meet good
faith with good faith and good Will
with good will to the end"
Mr. Cosgrave replied to Mr.. Churchill
as follows:

sympathy in this second tragic loss
from our councils and OF your unshaken
trust in the final accomplishment OF
all that the dead leaders STOOD lot;

dence they have done their part in life

ished work. but fuller heritage in
ideals, inspiration and driving force
president Griffith and Gen. Collins
had selected and attracted to whole
hearted cooperation with them a
number of colleagues, some OF whom
you have met. The government so
formed has stood. as you know. with
answering consistency to the pro-
gram of carrying into full effect. In
accordance with the declared will OF
the Irish people. the treaty which was
entered into between our plenipoten-
tiaries and recommended by President
Griffith and Gen. Collins as Offering
the fairest hopes to our much tried
people We. their colleagues, have
the same faith and stand by the same
policy, and. though overwhelmed with
sorrow, take up the same task with
the same determination and con-
fidence."

AMAZING GRIEF SHOWN.

Hours to Reach Coffin.

Hours to Reach Coffin.
BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN.
~ Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1922.
DUBLIN, August 28.-Ireland has
never displayed for any other dead
loader so intense and widespread
grief as that manifested for Michael
Collins. For three whole days, while
the body was lying in state in the
city hall, 1t was visited by hundreds
of thousands of citizens. The line
of waiting mourners of all classes
and creeds extended nearly two miles
and It took about four hours before
those Joining it could in turn pass the
comm and gaze upon the features Of
the dead chief.
Tho professions which accompanied
the remains from the hospital to the
city hall and from the city hall to
the cathedral were enormous demon
strations preliminary to the funeral
procession today from the cathedral
to Glasnevin cemetery. It was the
most widely representative in char
aoter Of any cortege that ever fol-
lowed an I-ishman to the tomb.
The discrimination Of the Irish
government remains unwaverfng. It
will never yield to the irregulars'
effort to override the decision of the
Irish voters by. armed force. The
government challenges no form of
political opinion, however extreme and
its activity 10 limited to suppressing
the policy Of zone gun, one vote" and
to securing obedience to the law as
indorsed by the nation. The Irish
troops are we'll disciplined and well
onicersd, and despite the bitter prov
ocation Of CollinH death there is
no apprehension Of reprisals. The
troops, a. well n the people, are
satisfied to leave decisions to the
government, which keeps its temper
and takes long views.

The State Of Britain's
Foreign Trade

For all of our exports and i'm
ports we do not have figures which
are exactly comparable to the British
calculations. The Federal Reserve
Board has for more important COM
modities made calculations to show
the monthly results as compared with
the figures for 1918. These figures
tend to show than in 1921 our exports
were 8 per cent over those for 1918,
and our imports 35 per cent higher.
In May, 1922, the percentage of i'm
ports was around 80 per cent of the
volume for the same month In 1918,
and of imports was 17s per cent.
In exports Of manufactured ar.
ticles and in imports Of articles for
further manufacture we have our
greatest increases. In May of 1922
these exports were 55 per cent over
the level for 1913 and the imports
which were to go into further manu-
featuring were 1877 per cent above the
1913 figure.-The Nations Business.
