(By Associated Press) David L,loyd Georee, the Brit ish prime minister, today sent a prompt rejoinder to the. letter of Eamon De Valera, president of the Irish lepublio, which rejected the British govef n ment s terms for peace in Ireland The premier's note constituted a firm reiteraUon of the government's former standpoint, that Ireland could not bo permitted to withdraw from the empire- He said he thought he had made it clear -in conversations and previous communications that the government can diseuss no settlement wnich in volves a refusal on the part of Ireland to accept a free, equal and loyal part nership in the British commonwealth under one. sovereign." r Ly George, in concluding his note, still Jveld open the. door for fur ther negotiations with 'Mr. De Valera and his colleagues if they are prepared to examine hpw -far the government's consideration can b reconciled with the aspirations yau represent. ' He 3e- ,td,Jlowever''tnat the government could "not prolong a mere exchanga of notes.", , la iiis communication Mr. tioyd pprge preserved the same frieftdlv tone that characterized his former lat ter to'De Valera. Today. he buttre-jsd the government's standpoint by quota tions fro Irislr patriots and. Abraham Lincoln He warned Mr, De Valera that a needless prolongation of the ne gotiations would serve only to play to the hands of. the extremists, who,- ne declared, were only an excuse to'-wreck the negotiations ; and terminate "the truce. i A hopeful aspect of the situation as it is viewed in London political circles is hat neither . Mr. De Valera, in li's latest communication, nor Mr. Lfoyd George .had closed the door on negotia tions. The text of the reply of . Pre mier Lloyd George to Eamon de Valera is a-follows: "Sirr; The "British government are profoundly disappointed by yourletter of August-24. You write of 'the condi tions ,of the meeting between us aa though :. no meeting ' had .. ever taken place.. ' - ; . "I must -remind you therefore,; J: hat when I asked you to meet me lx weeks ajoI'made.no 'prellmtnary v conditions of any sort-? You carried t'o -X6ndoh ual my Invitation and . exchangdi.vylew3 with lnc at three meetings of consid erable length. The proposals I made to you after those meetings wer based upon f ullland sympathetic con sideration of views which , you et plained. " "They were not made in any .naggling spirit. On the contrary, my colleagues and I went to the very Hmi of .ur powers in endeavoring torreeoniile British and Irish interests. " Our pro posals have gone far beyond all presi dent and have been approved as liberal by the whole of the civilized world. Even in quarters which had shown sympathy with the most extraaie Irish ctaims, they are regarded as ths utmost which the empire can reasonaaly cffr or Ireland expect. "The only criticism of them I have yet heard outside Ireland is from those who maintain that our proposals have overstepped both warrant and wisdom In their liberality. Your letters show no recognition of this and further ne gotiations must, I fear, be futile, un less some deflfcite plan is made towards acceptance pi these basis. . "You declare our proposals involve the surrender of Ireland's whole ; na-. tional tradition and reduce'her to sub servience. What are the facts? Un der the eettlement we outlined, "Ire land would control every nerve, and fiber of her national, existence. She would speak her own language ' and make her own religious life; she would have complete power-. over taxation and finance, subject only to an agreement for keeping trade and transport as free as possible between herself and Greats Britain, her best market. She would . have uncontrolled - authority over education, and all the moral and J spiritual Interests of her" racer she would have it also over law and order, ovjer land and agriculture, oyer con ditions of labor and. industry, over the health and homes of her people and over her defense. "She would, in fact, within the shores of Ireland be free .in every re spect of national activity, national ex pression and national development. The states of -the American union, sover eign though they be, enjoy no such, rights. . ' ' "Our proposals go even further, for they invite Ireland to take her place as " a partner 'n the great com monwealth of free nations, united by allegiance to the king. "We 'consider these proposals com pletely fulfill your wish that the prin ciple of government by consent of the governed" should be the i; broad and guiding principle ,of the settlement which your ministers are to negotiate. That principle was. first developed in England anoLJs the mainspring of the institutions which she; was to create. It was spread by her. throughout the world and is now the very life of the British ( commonwealth.' v 7 .

The formality '-enabled the coroner to- issue . burial certificates so that the bodies could be takeri avi-ay.

Under the new treaty Germany agrees to perpetuate the promise ahe made In," the treaty of Versailes to pay the expenses of occupation could be. inter preted as in any way. affecting the pres ent situation or binding , the , United States either to remain or withdraw. The Versailes agreement . fixed 15 years as the maximum period of occu pation. So far as is known, there was no consideration of the -subject in the negotiations leading up to tke present treaty and officials take the vlew; her-3 that the decision lies wholly with this government. It is suggested by those favoring an early withdrawal, however, that maintenance of the forces- of 'oc cupation might impose; such a "financial burden on Germany, as' to delay mate rially her payment of reparation. .

Lewis, president, of the United Mine Workers of America, to call a joint conference of mine workers and operators of Mingo county,. West Virginia, with the view of reaching an agreement that would end the industrial conflict that has ' continued there for several months. Mr. Lewis's message proposed that the conference first consider the abolishment of what he termed the guard system maintalnedVby operators through a private detective agendy.vb and second that it consider, an adjust- -ment between the operators and min ers "upon any "honorable basis which can be found." In concluding his message of more than 600 words, Mr. Lewis pledged the cooperation of the International union "in an honorable attempt to adjust the -Mingo, county situation" and offered to arrange for the miners representa tion at any conference called - by' President . Harding. The march of miners in West Vir ginia was declared by Mr. Lewis in his message to the President, to be "a sense of outrage"" against, the detectives employed by the operators." These detectives, the message asserted. ' wer men of "the lowest type and character," who- It was said, "kill as a ...... a i l-i. . ... ltit ui iiisir uauy -worn.

END THEIR INVASION OF MINGO COUNTV MADISON, W. Va., Aug. 2ft. (Py the Associated Press). The march of mi ners from Marmet to Mingo, in pro test against martial law. came to an end late today when President C. F. Keeney, of district 17j United Mine Workers of America, induced 500 or 600 of the men to agree to return, to " their homes. Keeney said that special trains would be provided for the men he're while the thousands along the road between Mad ison and Peytona had already taken the Back track. Keeney said he was trying to have a train here tonight, J.t is only a short run over the Coal river branch of the ' Chesapeake and Ohio railway to &a.U . bans on the main line, and an equally short one from there 'to Charleston. He planned, he said, to get the men here aboard the train at the earliest possible moment. Forty were foot sore and weary and manyof them had" marched a long distance before they reached Marmet. - ... v. -. D vx. auvj&uue guara or about. 200 inarching miners was held in the baseball park here, the men oc- -cupying the grfcnd stand.

S." -A., .representing the war department in Charleston, this morning Mr. Keeney told the men- that General Bandholts had Insisted that the march end at once and explained the possible course of the federal government if the men persisted in their determina tion to pass through Logan and into Mingo county. ,: . Two or three ' of .the miners, . who were said to be. leaders among the men, also addressed -the meeting.
