WHAT WILL CHARLIE CHAPLIN LOOK LIKE TO-DAY?

Mr. Charles Chaplin as himself in 1916, when his sahiry was 150,000 or so.

As he faced audiences when touring on hehalf of the great Libert}'' Loan. Charlie Chaplin as the Tramp with Little J a c k Coogan, as they appear in the great film, " T h e K i d , " which is now heing shown.

His smile is never forgotten, for ho keeps it eoiny: all tlic time.

He will probably resemble this photograj^h,

In the eccentric make-up which he has

taken shortly before lie sailed,

made famous. He can take off

^The moustaohe when he wants to give his face a rest, but not the smile!

He looks good in a " strawyard," as they <:alled it down Konnington way.

We all know the screen Charlie, but Jtot many, if they met him casually in the street, ronM he perfectly sure it was really Mr. Charles Chaplin, who has made more people

laugh than any other living man. This quaint Inimorist of the fonny feot arrives ia London late to-night, after a qu;ek crossing froni America in the Olympic.

I t is signed by t h e P r e m i e r a n d states : H i s Majesty's Governnr'.it have considered your letter of August 30 a n d have to m a k e t h e following observations u p o n it. The principle of government by consent of the governed is the foundation of British constitutional development, but we cannot accept as a basis of piactical conference an interpretation of that pr-ncipte which would commit us to any demands which you might present, even to the extent of setting up a Republic and repudiating the Crown. You must be aware that conference on such a basis is impossible. So appUod, t h e p r i n c i p l e of g o v e r n m e n t by c o n s e n t of t h e governed would u n d e r m i n e t h e fabric of every democratic State a n d drive t h e civilised world back into t r i b a l i s m . GUARANTEES. On t h e other h a n d , we have invited you to discuss o u r proposals o n (heir merits in o r d e r t h a t you rray have n o d o u b t a s to t h e scope n d sincerity of c u r i n t e n t i o n s . It would be open to you i n such a conference to raise the subject of guarantees on any points in which you may consider Irish freedom prejudiced by these proposals. H i s Majesty's G o v e r n m e n t a r e loth t o believe t h a t you will insist u p o n rejecting t h e i r proposals w i t h o u t e x a m i n i n g t h o m i n conlerence. To decline to discuss a s e t t l e m e n t w h i c h would bestow ui^on t h e I r i s h people t h e fullest freedom of n a t i o n a l d e v e l o p m e n t w i t h i n t h e E m p i r e c a n only m e a n t h a t you r e p u d i a t e all allegiance to t h e Crown a n d all m e m b e r s h i p of tlie British C o m m o n w e a l t h . If we were to d r a w this inference from your letter, t h e n f u r t h e r discussion between u s could serve no useful p u r p o s e , a n d all conference would be vain. DEFINITE ANSWER WANTED. If, liowever, we ai'e mistake.i in t h i s inferenceas we still hopeand if yom' real objeet i o n to o u r proposals is t h a t ^hey offer I r e l a n d less t h a n t h e liberty which wo have described, t h a t objection can be explored at a conference, You will agree that this correspondence ha:, lasted long enough. His Majesty's Government must, therefore, ask for a definite reply as to whether you are prepared to enter a conference to ascertain now the association of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British Empire can best be reconciled with Irish national aspirations. If, as we hope, your answer is in t h e affirm a t i v e , I suggest t h a t t h e conference s h o u l d m e e t a t I n v e r n e s s o n t h e 20th i n s t a n t .
