It sells for the remarkably low price of Attitude of De Valera May Prevent Peace. it Ireland Must Be Recog-a Sovereign State Before the Parleys Take Place, But Premier Lloyd George Remains Firm In Refusal and Deadlock Exists. LONDON, Sept. 20. -- Mr. Lloyd George on Sunday added another to the brisk fire of telegrams between Dublin and Gairloch, which leaves Eamonn de Valera's search for a ula enabling him to accept the invitation to a conference still unsatisfied, and the position on the Irish question is virtually the same as on Friday. In his message to the Irish Republican leader, the British Prime Minister remains firm in refusing to meet the Irish delegates as representing an independent and sovereign state, and declares that unless that section of Mr. de Valera's recent letter insisting upon the delegates acting as representatives of* an independent Ireland, was withdrawn, a conference between the members of the British Cabinet and the Sinn Fein plenipotentiaries would be impossible. Notwithstanding the firm tone of Mr. Lloyd George's telegram, it is interpreted as displaying solicitude to furnish Mr. de Valera a favorable opening for abandoning his- present attitude. Premier Lloyd George Sunday afternoon telegraphed de '/alera at Dublin as follows: "I received your telegram last night. I observe that it does not modify the claim that your .lele-gates should meet us as representatives of a sovereign and independent state. "You made no such condition in advance when you came to see me in July. I invited you then to meet me, in the words of my letter, as 'the chosen leader of a great majority in Southern Ireland,' and you accepted the invitation. "From the very outset of our conversations I told you that we looked to Ireland to Own allegiance to the British throne, and to make her future as a member of the British commonwealth. That was the basis of our proposal, and we cannot alter it. "The status which you now claim in advance for. your delegates is, in effect, a repudiation of that basis. I am prepared to meet your delegates as I met them in July, in the capacity of 'chosen spokesmen' for your people, to discuss the association of Ireland with the British commonwealth. "My colleagues and I cannot meet them as representatives of a sovereign and independent state without disloyalty on our part to the throne and Empire. I must, therefore, repeat that, unless the second paragraph in your letter of the twelfth is withdrawn, a conference between us is impossible.---D. Lloyd George." The second paragraph referred to in Lloyd George's telegram was that part of de Valera's letter which reads: "In the final note we deem lt bur duty to reaffirm that our position is, and can only be, as we have defined it throughout this correspondence. Our nation has formally declared its independence and recognizes itself as a sovereign state. It is only as, representatives of that state, and as its chosen guardians, that we have authority or powers to act on behalf of our people. As regards the principle of government by consent of the governed, in the very nature of things, it must be the basis of any agreement that will achieve the purpose we have at heart--that is, the final reconciliation of our nation with yours. We have suggested no interpretation of that principle, save its everyday interpretation, the sense, for example, in which it was understood by the plain men and women of the world, when on January 5, 1918, you said: "The settlement of Europe must be based on such grounds of reason and justice as will give some promise of stability. Therefore, it is that we feel that government with the consent of the governed must be the basis of any territorial settlement s We. OTTAWA, Sept. 2 0. -- Premier Meighen is back again in Ottawa after having spent the Sabbath. in-Montreal. Needless to say it was not a day of rest for the Prime Minister. With the new Cabinet and dissolution to be announced this week the Quebec problem of Cabinet representation, in so far as anyone but Mr. Meighen appears to know, is still unsolved. Messrs. Ballantyne and Doherty will remain in the Cabinet" largely on account of the difficulty ot securing anyone else. Quebeckers of French-Canadian stock are coy and hard to woo into the Ministry. There may be surprises in the Cabinet. The Premier is fond of surprises. He is said to be satisfied with the progress to date. But from present ' indications there will be much reswearing before the clerk of the Privy Council and many old faces in the new line-up. Among these, Including the Premier, are Messrs. Ballantyne, Doherty, McCurdy, Robertson, Drayton, Tolmie, Kemp, Spinney and Lougheed, while it is rumored thtit Hon. Hugh Guthrie may go to the bench and a former colleague of Premier Meighen in the person of Gen. Mewburn will come back in his place. It is even rumored that Hon. J. A. Calder, while transferred to the Senate, will remain Minister of Immigration and Colonization. This, however, would leave three Ministers in the Upper House, presuming that Hon. P. E. Blondin retires from the position of Postmaster-General. Among the newcomers are mentioned H. H. Stevens of Centre Vancouver, John Stewart of Lanark, Edmund Bristol of Centre Toronto, R. C. Henders of Macdonald, Hector Mclnnis of Halifax, J. B. Baxter of St. John (both newcomers), and Jas. Wilson of Saskatoon. Of all those mentioned, only five, namely, Messrs. Tolmie, Mewburn, Henders, Spinney and Ballantyne, were placed in the category of Liberal Unionists in 1917. Meantime the hunt for jobs continues unabated for the ten Senator-ships, the various large and small judgeships and the vacancy in the Railway Commission. Even now there is speculation as to who shall secure the vacancy created by the death of the late Senator W. C. Edwards for whom the flag still droops at half-mast on Parliament hill and the Rideau Club. In addition to the names of the two sitting members for Ottawa, Messrs. Fripp and Cha-bot, the name of a prominent newspaper proprietor at the capital is prominently mentioned. Dr. "Jerry" Chabot has the distinction of being the only French-Canadian supporter of Union Government who weathered the storm of 1917 and as such has special claims for the position which, however, has been>regarded as a Protestant prerogative. Killed on Way from Dance. GUELPH, Sept. 20.--Struck and dragged by a C.P.R. freight train at an early hour Saturday morning, Benedict C. Cooke, assistant factory manager of the F. E. Partridge Rubber Co., was found lying in a dying condition 100 feet west of Allan's bridge, at six o'clock. He died two hours later at the General Hospital from the terrible injuries he had sustained. The supposition is that Mr. Cooke, who resides with his mother, was on his way home from the 34th reunion dance in the Armories, by way of Allan's bridge, when the train came along, and he decided to board the freight for the purpose of riding as far as the Eramosa bridge. In boarding the train he evidently slipped and fell. When- found Mr. Cooke was terribly managled, both legs being almost completely severed from the body. An inquest was convened on Saturday afternoon, but no evidence was taken. JAILER HAS RESIGNED. Sequel to the Escape of the Murrell Brothersi LONDON, Ont, Sept. 20.--Governor James Carter of the county jail has announced that he has forwarded to Toronto his resignation from the position, in consequence of what he claims was the unfair treatment he received at the hands of the inspector of prisons, W. W. Dunlop, in the recent inquiry into the escape of the Murrell brothers. Mr. Carter makes the direct statement that if the probe had been in charge of a county judge or other independent authority, Mr. Dunlop, as inspector of prisons, would have had some shortcomings of his own to answer for. It was while Governor Carter was on the witness stand that Mr. Dunlop stated: "I trust no man, or being, except God Almighty." The jailer's statement, in part, fol- "That the investigation should have been conducted by the inspector of prisons precluded the possibility of the full facts being exposed for public or official examination. Mr. Dunlop became heated, almost to the point of violence, and in any event he use of a blasphemous description of his trusts and mistrusts, when he learned that prisoners awaiting trial had, in the ordinary conduct of the jail, been allowed to have tobacco or gifts of fruit or food sent in by relatives. "Mr. Dunlop has for many years been paid by the Government to check up laxity or irregularities in county jails, including the London jail, but to my knowledge he has personally performed this duty but once in six years." IMIN FOR WASHINGTON] I Selection of, British Delegates' Under Discussion, j Prime Minister and Foreign Secre- ! I tary May Not Be Able to Attend Disarmament Conference, But , | Several of the Most Prominent 1 Figures In Parliamentary Life Will Probably Cross the Ocean. | LONDON, Sept. 20. -- Premier j~Lloyd George is expected shortly to name the British plenipotentiaries to the Washington conference. Unless a successful end is reached in the protracted Irish negotiations and some means is found to ameliorate the unemployment situation, the Prime Minister himself will not likely be the head for the delegation. At best, it is generally believed, he will be able to attend only the final deliberations of the conference. There are a number of names, however, which are being canvassed as possibilities. Arthur J. Balfour is the member of the Government most likely to head the British delegation in the event that the Premier cannot do so himself. The success of his war-time mission to the United States, in addition to his many months as First Lord of the Admiralty during the war, make him a favorite. Lord Lee, the present First Lord, is considered to be a certain choice if he fully recovers from his recent illness. Andrew Bonar Law, who retired from the Government last year, owing to illness and who is now fully restored to health, is also mentioned, while a one-time Liberal, Winston Churchill, now an eighteen karat Conservative, is also mentioned, not only because of his ability as a negotiator, but because he has been both First Lord of the Admiralty and Secretary of War. Sir Gordon Hewart, one of the leaders at the Bar is also suggested. Despite organized labor's demand, made at the recent Trade Union Congress, that labor should have a spokesman at the conference, there is no indication at the present time that the Government will accede to the demand. In Conservative quarters the names of Lord Grey and former Premier Asquith are proposed.- Lord Robert Cecil is no longer regarded as a possibility. Mr. Lloyd George may, however, upset all. speculation and interlard the delegation with one or more Liberals, but there is little expectation of such action on his part. Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary, may not be able to go. In fact, in well-informed quarters it was said unless there is a vast improvement in thekEuropean situation, particularly in the Near and Middle East, it will practically be impossible for him to cr,oss the Atlantic. The Foreign Of-JTcV unTTe'f the circumstances, might be represented by Sir William Tyi rell, councilor of the Washington. r*MADE IN CANADA" Sold in Colborne by G. M.

Slight Disturbances Took Place In « LONDON, Sept. 20.--Reuter's correspondent in Bombay says that the | news of the arrest of prominent agi-I tators in Bombay and Simla were re-! ceived quietly throughout India. There were a few slight disturbances | in Bombay, but these were confined I to the smashing of tramcar windows. ] Moslem employes in one mill refused j to work and induced the Hiffdu j workmen to join them. This movement spread to several other mills. Shaukat Ali, who was arrested at the central office of the Khilafat committee has been sent to Karachi for trial. A leaflet has been distributed among the Mohammedans containing messages from Shaukat Ali, urging the Moslems to refrain from causing disturbances or strikes on account of his arrest, but to continue vigorously but peacefully the policy cf non-cooperation with the authorities. The Bombay Chronicle, commenting on the arrests of the agitators, says that the Government failed to realize the j SPLIT IN GERMANY. Bavaria Is Drifting Farther From. Berlin. BERLIN, Sept. 20.---By forcing Dr. Wirth to explain what they themselves know are outrageously untrue statements made in a public speech by Herr Oswald, leader of the Bavarian peoples' party, the Bavarians have put the Chancellor on the defensive in the struggle between that state and the Reich Government. Herr Oswald declared that Berlin is "stomach hungry" for Bavarian money, with which to pay reparations under the ultimatum. He also charges Herr Wirth with acting under Entente orders, and attacked the Government anew for submitting to the Allied demand for the disarmament of the Bavarian Ein-wohnerwehr. This clever political speech has aroused the Bavarians against Berlin, and opened the way for the return of the Kahr Government. It has also forced the Chancellor to laboriously deny the charges. Herr Wirth could afford to do this and make the Bavarians appear childishly petulant were it not for the stab in the back delivered' by Premier Stegermann, of Prussia, who denies all responsibility for the action of Prussian Commissioner of Public Safety Weismann, who discovered and disclosed to the chancellor, the monarchist plot in. Munich. Herr Weismann has resigned and Munich is dancing on, his political Simultaneously comes the news from Munich that the Bavarian people's party has decided on a program with the following three points: First, no coalition with the Social Democrats; second, to stand by the present reactionary coalition; third, to put Kahr back into power. The purpose of this program is to gain additional autonomy for Bavaria, and create a state president, who alotfe will be empowered to issue decrees that will hold good in that state. Constitutional changes looking towards this are sought. i effects of its ■ of all Moslems, whose impression that Englishmen are hostile to Islam j wilt now be strengthened. Gets Radium Monopoly. LONDON, Sept. 20.--An agreement concluded between the Imperial and Foreign Corporation, of London, and the Czecho-Slovakian Governments, whereby the corporation gets a commercial monopoly of the entire Szecho-Slovakian state mines radium output, will interest all Canadians doing medical research work, as the new company is free to form subsidiary companies in any part of the world. The yearly output of the Joachim Ethel mines, near Carlsbad, ' is about four grammes. Half of the radium produced during a period of fifty years belongs to the corporation, who guarantees the capital for mine-| working and the other half to the ' glovakian Government for research jin their Government laboratory.
