Great Hrit- a reported nlans for freeing re were scoffed at today bv ident Eamonn de Vnlem r Irish Repoblls, who, upon re- it, discussed exclusively for the irrational New Service the tian and Irish situations. President de Valera said he did believe the report that Eirv- full sovereignty would be grant If Egyptian "Independence" Urn granted, he said, it would be in tjbJa form; rTV wUl ' De Independent, but u must not do so and so, and so ssatd so, and so and so, and when aW that Egynt must not do in uiih- reacted from nominal independence mm much would be left. .

"This method of deceiving by -afrerds Is an old one with the Brit Ush. I do not believe the EerVDtlans ni be deceived by it and certainly ae Irish people will not be deceiv In any such manner. We have for well over 700 $ars lived side' by side with the British, and their ways are not range to us. "We know the British govern pnt'B Policy has been imperial istic, that explication of other lands tajways has been England's purpose and that she has been influenced niJways by self-interest, not gen woslty or moral principles. f'ln the case of Egypt let us await Hfci , full report of any agreement that may be made and then watch England's moves." "If England has granted a meas ure of freedom to Egypt what ef ect da you think it will have in Hbe East n regards Britian's colonies?'?-Ir. de Valear was asked. "I doubt whether anything but complete, unconditional independ ence will satisfy the Egyptian na tionalists," Ireland's Sinn Fein loud er replied. "Temporarily it may strengthen jBngland's hand in Egypt, enabling fcer to carry on at this difficult ttimte. tt England retains veto wr 'on all Issues effecting Great Britian's interests, safeguard Hog the Suez Canal, and so forth, Wesides retaining economic advan tages, that is all her imperial pol Hey demands for the' present.

"Never!" he replied, his eyes snapping'There can be no talk of settlement until the British army of occupation is withdrawn." "Then the present terrors in Ire land, with the British army forc-j "But you are hopelessly out classed in warships, heavy guns, tanks and aeroplanes," I pointed out.

"Our cause is right and just, and we have the' opinion of mankind with us. Our methods of warfare will not be those which the enemy would choose. "The eniitiy can mass his battal ions.

I reminded President de Valera that Premier Lloyd George , after a fashion, had made unofficial over tures to S'nn Fein, in the hope of obtaining an Irish settlement on a rominion basis. "Just the usual playing to the galleries," said iPresident aeVal era, depreciotingly. "No one who knows Lloyd George, would take him seriously when he talks about Ireland. "Every Englishman know he can have a settlement a genuine settlement of the Irish question on the basis of Justice if he wants it.

"As long as England is playing for hate from Ireland she will get hate," President de Valera. said measuring his words. "The Irish people have time after time shown their desire for amity. We aim for mutual understanding and good will between the two peoples, on the basis of equality of right. but we shall never allow oudselves to be treated as a subject people, and we shall never permit ourselves willingly to be exploited for the benefit of English inrherlallam. "When England uses force in Ire land, the reply will be force. "When a citizen or a soldier of the Irish nation has his rights out raged ,and his freedom taken from him for no other reason than that he loves his country, do you think there will not be adequate repris als?

"There may be . some hope that the English laboring men will yet realize that if they are to be free ed from, the burdens of future wars they must give up imperialistic no tions and come down to the simple maximum of 'live and let live,. President de Valera replied. "But for indications of that I look rather to deeds than words." President deValera refused to give an opinion as to which jway the Americans of Irish blood would vote in the Presidentall election this year. "I want to express no opinion on that," he said. "But I feel Certain of this: That seeing that they are American citizens who made sacri fices during the war that all na tions might be free, they will be influenced In their choice not a little by the question as to whether American sacrifices have not been rendered in vain by the denial to Ireland of the principle, for which many of their sons gave up their lives." to the scene and the task of re moving the dead and injured be gan.

Re turning from McMInnville a few days ago with a party of friends who had been visiting in that city, Mrs. R. M. Andrus picked up an old miicklnaw coat from the dusty road. She thought nothing of it until investigation for some means of finding the owner commenced. In the pockets were found two bags of gold. One bag contained $20 gold pieces and the other contained $6 and $10 gold pieces. The total sum was $590. Passing through Dayton Mrs Andrus left the coat and money at the bank. A few days later the property was identified und claimed by an aged man named Daniels. His son-in-law had brought the money from Kansas and was on his way to Dayton to "deposit it when the team he was driving became frightened and ran away. In the excitement about the team the coat was lost. When they recovered the horses and went to look for the money It was dark and they were unable to find it, not knowing ex actly where it fell from the wagon. Another search the next day also also proved to be of no avail. Mr. Daniels had given it up as lost be lieving that some tourist hud picked it up and carried the money on. The owner was very much pleased upon hearing that the money had been left at the bunk in Dayton, and as a reward paid euch of the finders a gold coin.

Over the Siskiyou mountains, he said, the roads re very bad on account of construc tion work going on. From Weed to Shasta Springs the roads are fair. In returning they went by way of Klamath Hot Springs to Klamath Falls city. From this Doint to' Crater Lake, Smith said, tho roads are rough and dusty, but the visit to Crater is worth all the dif ficulties encountered by unpleas ant condition of the roads in some places. He said the roads are excellent around the lake ,a distance of thirty three miles, and the scen ery Is beautiful. They traveled one thousand eight miles. Mr. Smith met with no car trouble at all on the road and had a most pleasant trip. They drove from Crater Lake to Bend and then to Morrow where they visited with' his sister tor a few days. Frorn Morrow to Portland the road Is mostly paved and they found easy traveling. There is gas everywhere ,sald Mr. Smith, and the highest price he had to pay was 37c at Bend.
