Valera Thought to Have
Kept Way Clear. '
TELEGRAM SENT TO PREMIER
Negotiations Halted Momen
tarily by Previous Reply.
SURPRISE IS; RELATED
. Sinn Frln leader Declares Posi
tion Must no Made Clear Be
fore Conference Starts.
LONDON, Sept. 1C (By the Asso
ciated Press.) In a telegram sent to
night to Premier Lloyd Gears at
Galrloch, Scotland. Eamon D Valera
vii considered In high quarters In
london to have Indicated a de.re tor
a continuation of the negotiations
looking to peace In Ireland, which
were terminate 1 momentarily, at
least, by Mr. De Valera's communica
tion of earlier in the week 'nslstlng
on the Independence of Ireland and
Sir. Lloyd George's cancellation of
the conference with delegate of the
Sinn Fein, which he had proposed for
next Tuesday.
The telegram of Mr. De Valera was
as follows:
Mr. De Valera's telegram said:
"I received your telegram last night
and am surprised that you do not
see that if we on our aide accepted
a conference on the basis of your
letter of September 7, without mak
ing our position quite clear, Ireland's
representatives would enter the con
ference with their proposition misun
derstood and the cause of Ireland's
right Irreparably prejudiced.
raeltloa Is Drflaed.
"Throughout the correspondence
that has tsken place you have de
fined your government's position. We
have defined oura.
"If the positions were-not so defi
nitely opposed there would Indeed be
no problem to be discussed. It should
be obvious that In a case like ours
if there Is to be any result the nego
tiators must meet without prejudice
and untrammclcd by any conditions
whatever except those Imposed by the
facts as they know them."
y Rtupamn Is Made.
Late tonight Mr. Lloyd George had
made no response, but the consensus
of opinion was that, since neither side
to the argument seemingly Is desirous
of a rupture, there doubtless will be
a further exchange of messages.
The general view in London Is that
a hitch has arisen because Lloyd
George and De Valera are compelled
to keep an eye on the extremists In
their respective cabinets, but that be
hind both there Is also strong public
opinion In favor of peace, this feeling
being as strong in England as In Ire
1h nd.
From advices received In London,
the Sinn Fein leaders were surprised
by the effect of Mr. De Valera's let
ter, which Induced Mr. Lloyd George
to circulate the proposed conference.
Phrasing Held Vafortaaatr.
From these advices. It would seem
that the Sinn Fein leaders In Dublin
hold the view that their leader's let
ter was unfortunately phrased and
that It is advisable to make a further
attempt to bring about a conference.
It appears to be realised, however,
that some weeks will be lost In the
process of attempting to clarify the
situation. There Is some talk of hold
ing a conference In London In Octo
ber. Premier Lloyd Ceorge has not yet
railed the meeting of his cabinet, but
It Is expected this will be held next
week at Inverness or Cairloch. It Is
expected there will be an early ses
sion of the Dall Eireann to consider
the new aspects of the situation.
Relations between ' England and
Ireland now stand as they did before
Valera came to London on July 14,
to discuss wth the prime minister a
possible basis' for ending the con
troversy. Sinn Print Stand Is Firm.
The Sinn Fein leader has made
public his note to the prime minister
affirming his stand that Irish repub
lican plenipotentiaries could enter a
conference only as delegates of an
Independent power, and Mr. Lloyd
George quickly announced the. can
cellation of his invitation to Irish
loaders to a parley at Inverness.
It wss made plain by the prime
minister that he could not meet the
Sinn Fein delegates If th claim of
Irish Independence and sovereignty
were Insisted on, but he did not close
the door to further exchanges with
the republicans. Mr. Lloyd George Is
indisposed and is confined to .his
rooms at Gairloch, Scotland, where
he has been spending a vacation, and
it la expected here that members of
the British parliament will confer
with him before the government
takes further steps.
Ma Fela Artlsa la Doaht.
There wss no indication here to
day that either the British govern
ment or the Sinn Fein would re
nounce the truce arranged two
months aso an.d resume the guerrilla
warfare that cost scores of lives and

SEATTLE, . Wash.. Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) The Salvation Army met bol
shevlsm today and Bolshevism came
out second best -when the Nippon

revival hymns completely drowned
out the revolutionary songs of their
fellow passengers.
Hundreds of passengers, as welt as
many friends who had come down to
see them off. witnessed and heard
the unique passage at arms, and lus
tily cheered the Salvationists when
they triumphed.

call for more workers for the soviet
cause. In line with 'the traditional
practice of such parties, the radicals
assembled near the stern of the ship
Just before she left to bid "farewell"
to this country.
Armed with red flags an "revolu
t'onary hymn books." they marched
out and began to sing botb their
gestures and their words being hlghlr
uncomplimentary to the United States
But that was as far as they got. '
There were 20 membera of the Sal
vation Army, bound for Manila,
aboard the steamer, and as soon as
they divined the purpose of the radi
cals they started to do a little sing-
In for themselves.
There was a large delegation of

Services to Bo Meld Today for 10
Men Who Lost Their Lives
in ZR-2 Disaster.
NEW YORK. Sept. 16 In flag
shrouded caskets, covered with masses
of flowers and guarded by armed men
fof a friendly foreign nation, the
bodies of Commander Louis H. Max
field and It of his comrades
victims of the ZR-2 disaster, arrived
today on the British cruiser Daunt
less. It was a far different homecoming
than the victims had anticipated when
they sailed some months ago for Eng
land to prepare and bring back the
monster'' dirigible, the disaster te
which on a trial flight sent 43 herolo
men of two nations to their death.
Far out at sea the Dauntless war
met by a destroyer division of the
I'nited States navy. As It neared port
the escort was augmented by a fleet
of seaplane, representing the arm of
the service for which the victims gave
their lives. As the funeral ship came
up the harbor the forts thundered a
salute, church bells tolled on the
Diooklyn and Staten Island shores
and passing craft dipped their colors
in reverential salutes.
The Dauntless proceeded directly
to the navy-yard In Brooklyn, where
British sailors tenderly carried the
todies from the deck and delivered
them to the keeping of their former
comrades-tn-arms on the pir. To
night the flag draped caskets were
under the watchful eyes of a guard
of honor In the yard chape'.,' where
tomorrow they will be rendered the
honor that the navy pays to lis heroic
dead.
As the Dauntless passed quarantine
a navy tug carrying Captain C. M.
Tozer, representing the secretary of
the navy, and Commander C. R. Rob
inson, representing the commandant
of the New York navy-yard, went
alongside and the American officers
climbed aboard.
When the Dauntless was made fast
her commander. Captain Gilbert
Stephenson, and his staff, together
with the American officers on board,
took their places near the ship end
of the gangway. A whistle sounded
and the British marine guard snapped
Into "present arms." Every member
of the crew, from Captain Stephenson
down, simultaneously came to salute.
Eight husky British bluejackets
then lifted the casket containing the
body of Commander Maxfield to their
shoulders and It was slowly carried
down the gangway. As the body left
the ship the marine guard on the pier
presented arms and the heads of hun
dreds cf spectators were uncovered.
Public memorial service will be
held at the navy-yar4 at Z o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
