Tho mine owners, on the other hand, forego their determination to cut wages in the drastic manner which originally brought about the strike, and which, In some cases, amounted to 45 per cent, reductions.

DeVALERA CANNOT GO TO LONDON Acceptance of Invitation to Conference is Impossible, He Says. A despatch from Dublin says:— 'he propc•sa1 of Mr: Lloyd George for a conference do London on the Irish question between representatives of Southern end Northern Ireland and the British Government is impossible of acu'sptance in its present foam. Tlris declaration is macre by Eamonn de Vaic ee, the Irish Republican leader, to Sir James Craig, the Ulster Pre- Imier, in reply to Sir James' notifica- tion that ha . •oeneiot meet Mr. de Varian in -a preliminary conference ]a Dwbl'in. Mr, de Valero's letter is quoted by The Irish Bulletin, organ of the Dail &rearm•, as follows: "I greatly regret that you cannot come to a conference in Dublin Mon- day. Mr. Lloyd George's proposal; be- cause of its implications, is impossible of acceptance in its present form. Our poi, time differences ought to be ad- j!us.tee, and east, I believe, be adjusted sae Irieb soil. But it is obvious that In the negotiation of peace with 'Great Britain the Irish delegat:on ought not to be divided, but should act as a unit an some common principle" All four Southern Unionists, .Earl Mid.ddeton, Sir Maurice Dockrell, Sir Robert H. Woods end Andrew Jame- son, have accepted Mr. de Valera's in- / vitation for a conference et the Man- sion House, Dublin, Monday, which will presumably form a prelude to a Anther reply by de Valera to the Britieh Prime Minister. The refusal of Sir James Craig to attend, ;however, itis contended,. will detract from the importance of the conference, end many Unionists here regard the invitation to the Ulster Premier as "mistaken tactics" en the part of the Republican leader, Southern Parliament Meets in Dublin A despatch from Dublin says:—The evening of the &uthern Parliament on Tuesdayad'ternoon lasted leis than tear minutes.

Now and then every man turns 'twee the pages of the picture -book of mem, cry, and goes on turning until his comes to the earliest pictures of ail.` that peasant him as a boy. In many households to -day real pit/ tore books are kept; fond, parents art preserving snap -shot photographs of their childnan ,growing up, and in the clays to come they and their children will have the visible biography to re - =More "childhood's evenly hours." Many a mother would rather sacrifice every other hook in the house than part with that collection of pictures.' But we all may have pictures in our ,heads. Among those we like the best aro those of the irresponsible ex- istence we had before we were re- stricted by a 801180 of duty and deo- tiny and the solemn responsibility of life, We look now at the men• and wo- men as old es we are, and as we glasp hands and the eyes meet we are say- ing to ourselves, if not audibly: "Oar this be the child I used to know? Can' this be my playmate cf 'countless'•ad-' ventures? How long ago that was!' I wish I could go back and be as 1: was then and make a fresh start. A wish I had my Life to live over again; I should do so much better with it!" The regrets are unevai•1•ing. We soar - not go back. But the thought is not mournful. If we could live again the years that are past we might have done worse—a great' deal worse. Bach period of life has its own rewards and satisfy tstons. Nature mercifully- ad. lusts her compensations. There is a happiness bf chdddhood; there is Happiness of age. To realize in ma-. turity, that we are nerving mankind, that we are ;helping to !bring in the better day, may bring to tie a plea. sure that is far above the thoughtless gayety wo knew wlven we were young. Wo cannot reverse the calendar and the clock, yet we may keep the opdrlt of youth—ats hope; its enthusiasm, lis opti.••nism. If we cannot go bock to childhood., our childhood may go for- ward through the yeasts with us. It profits nothing to talk dejeetelly of the "lest Illusl'ons" of youth and be- moan tive forfeited chances, It is ours to take what is left els end snake the most of it, rejoicing that the best of what we had when we were children is ours to the very end of our lives, Urgent Need for Help for Armenian Orphans.
