..IRISH CONFERENCE
End of (Truce Means More
Serious War Than Here-
; 1 tofore Is Warning
Associated Press Report.
J s DUNDEE Seotjand Sept 24. Win-
ston spencer unurcniu secretary lor tne
V colonies in an address here Saturday ex-
' pressed himself as moat beartilp in favor
'' of a conference on the Irish qneigion.
k ' He felt thert wai a much better chance
. of an agreement being reached by per
V aonal Interviews than by corteapondence
h tali and it wai beesnn of this he
was anxious for a conference the only
thinf he declared which stood between
a the government and complete rupture of
the Irish negotiations.
Eemonn de .Valera Mr. Churchill said
had made it very doubtful whether there
"Wilfully or else under duress" Mr.
t Churchill declared Mr. De Valera had
proclaimed that lu delegates would at-
J tend as the representatives of a foreign
. atate. " 1
i ' No Further Concession.
The government the colonial secretary
asserted ought not to allow pedantry
bair-splltting and quibbling to stand in
the way of peace but when its funda-.-:
mental principles were challenged he de-
clared it was well to make it quite clear
there could be no further concession on
lb part of the government
. p Mr. Churchill warned Bis hearers that
if the truce came to an end a war. more
' serious than heretofore faced them in
Ireland.
Mr. Churchill said the government
was "profoundly disappointed by De
Valera's rejection of the offer of domin-
ion home nje." "Although Great Britain
could unquestionably enforce the existing
law npon Ireland" Mr. Churchill contin-
ued "she none the less is called upon to
clear away all possible misunderstand
ing it our oner is rejecteu we nave
the conviction that our countrymen will
support the empire as will the opinion of
the civilized world."
British Offer Generous.
The colonial secretary said the Brit-
ish government's offer was generous
sincere and unanimous and could be car-
rieaSoto effect immediately.
' Allegiance to the king whether asking
of Great Britain or of Ireland must
'however be insisted upon he declared.
"How could we agree to the setting up
. of a separate foreign republic in Ire-
land?" Mr. Churchill asked. Not peace
he tfid but a real war not mere bush-
ranging would follow such a course.
' -Ve want a conference but a success-
ful one" he declared.
' Ulster Mr. Churchill said had made
real sacrifice and no longer was a
! stumbling block to the rest of Ireland.
' He could not see much real foundation
for the optimism which prevailed he as-
' sorted and he still was uncertain where
': the Irish leaders stood. The proposed
conference he declared was the only
. thing which stood between the govcru-
ment and failure.
; Mr. Churchill said he hoped the limita-
tion of armaments conference in Wash-
ington would develop a conference for
vbe establishment of normal exchange.
-.'."Tha present industrial situation he re-
marked could be attributed to the col-
lapse of international exchange and so-
. ciolist propaganda.
tRecognition of Irish
Claims Not Asked
aBauiiairu icon i.
LONDON Sept. 24. Recognition .of
V: Irish claims of independence as a prc-
jMiminary condition to a conference were
; never asked by the Sinn Fein declared
0 Arthur Grififth a member of the delega-
h tion chosen at Dublin to confer with
--' Prime Minister Lloyd George in an in-
terview with the Daily Mail's rorjespond-
. ent in Dublin Friday. lie added that en-
tering the conference without previous
fuarantees or conditions would not imply
Iritish recognition of the Sine Fein's
claims.
. "If the conference broke down." he
said "Ireland would have the same in-
ternational position that she holds at
present Irish republican leaders have
. contended they were entitled to enteT the
- conference holding their own opinion but
the mere holding of those opinions would
not entitle them to anything from anv
we else.
"The Sinn Fein has offered to enter
iht conference for the purpose of finding
' a solution which would terminate the
luarrel between Ireland and England.
The only thing that mattered would be
- :he final agreement."

"There ts no snake in this country witn
beak nor with a apike an inch and
ball long" A. V. Wend bead of tne rep
tile department' said "The hog-nosed
adder ia the nearest approach to snake
with a' beak. Its nose is upturned caused
from burrowing in the sand. It is a per-
fectly vharmleu siuike. '
. "Some sunken have an accumulation
of scale on their tails which form's
sort of soike. hut they are seldom more
than a quarter of an inch long. As for
hoop snakes there aren't any. No one
has ever proved to the satisfaction1 of
naturalists that he has been a anake
rollina down hill.
-"The hog-noned adder however writhes
and twists as if it had been struck when-
ever disturbed from lying on its back a
peculiar habit' Its actions might be mis-
taken as an attempt to get its tail In Us
mouth and form a hoop.'.

TOO DAY FOR FRANCE? .
" (From the Pittsburg Dispatch.) : '
From what one knows of Paris and
France one would assume that nothing
on the films could be too sensational for
their morals and ethics. It it is the
amusing news of tha moment that men
nil wuimd at the arrondissements and
prefectures are' moving on the movies
(cinemas they call them) for prevention
of the screening of motifs presenting
crimes and "night scenes."
Is it a mere nassinc wave Of reJ
form?" Op it in the interest of the
arts so dear to the hearts of the
French from Gascony to Provence pro
vlndally and . from Montparnasst ta
Montmartr metropolitan? .
Here In tha "States" we have onr can- -
ore bat th censorial taste differs so
diversely as to move the public to doubt
their virtue. - ' . '. - ;
The real truth is mat tne producers ;
themselves are or are coming to be. the
better censors. For some time the most
prolific of these producers have been cut- r
ting the sensational film not to purify it
out of all semblance of holding tha mlr- .
ror np to human natnre but to divest it
of that which is grossly sensational and .
especially of the ghastly criminal toward :
which in the early daya. there was a
strong trend. ....' '
The Japanese and the Dutch have one
peculiar custom in common that of mar
riage by proxy.
