A highly organized sales force, sworn to allegiance to the "Invisi ble Empire," is klucking its way through tho United States under tho direction of tho Imperial Kleagle, Grand Goblins, King JKleagles and fl just plain Kleagles. n A imlf million Klansmen in fortv-flve States, includinc Pennsyl vania, have been enrolled under the Klan'o "Fiery Cross." So rapidly have tho dollars dropped into the palms of robed ,j Kleagles to tho music of three whistles and 'a moan that "Emperor" jfij Simmons now has a $25,000 residence from -which to send forth "im V perial" ukases, rescripts and decrees. v And only a few years ago, on tho authority of Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, grand chief of tho women's division of the Klan, tho "Emperor" wis most unregally "broke" and was unable even to pay his rent.

In this interview, "His Imperial Majesty" stated dcllnitcly that the Ku Klux Klan has it in for somebody who is "a shrieking enemy of Inw and order, constitutional principles nnd real Amor ' Icanism," nnd ns soon as tho time Is ripe means to get that somebody, to the accompaniment of "fireworks, rho torical or otherwise," which "other wise" Is not Interpreted.

By tlw Associated Press Dublin, Sept. 14. Appointment ot plenipotentiaries to tho proposed con ference nt Inverness with British rep--resentatlvcs to discuss the settlement of the Irish question was npproved by" the Dall Eireann at its session here today. The Dail's offlclnl.bulletln announc ing the approval says this was done "in view of a possible conference with rep resentatives of tho British Govern ment." Tho Dall plenipotentiaries, it was cxplnined, were not appointed to go to Inverness in response to Prime Mln. istcr Lloyd George's invitation, but have been chosen to carry on possible negotiations which may or may not follow the receipt by Lloyd George of the Dall Cabinet's reply. Griffith Heads Delegation Tho appointments npproved follow; Arthur Grlffth, founder of the Sinn Fein nnd Foreign Minister in tho Dall Cabinet, chnirmnn. Michael Collins, Finance Minister. Robert C. Barton, who hns been one of the leading figures in the preliminary negotiations. Eamon J. Duggan, Sinn Fein mem ber of Parliament and a leading fig urc in the arrangement ot the Irish truce. George Gavan Duffy, who has acted an representative of tho Sinn Fein abroad. The Dall Eireann also unanimously approved tho reply to the British pro posals. ' Harry Bolnnd and Joseph McGrath, tho couriers who on Monday went to Galrloch, Scotland, to bear De Valera's Inquiries regarding the terms laid down !.n the Prime Minister's latest note to the Republlcnn leader, were expected to arrive hero during the day. Serious Hitch Feared They were believed to hnvo received from Lloyd George explanations of cer tain points of his proposals, nnd theso were to be submitted to the Parliament so that it might take them into consid eration in reaching a decision whether to continue or interrupt the conversa tions between Dublin and London. In some quarters the fcor was ex pressed that a serious hitch had oc curred in the negotiations. Tho theory in these quarters was that the couriers took n verbal reply to Lloyd George to sound out the situntlon before a formal decision wns reached, that tho Primu Minister indicated unwillingness to pro ceed on the line suggested, nnd thnt this left the Dall Cubluct nn opportunity to seek a frfsh formula. London, Sept. 14. (By A. P.) "Although no actual hitch has occurred in the Irish negotiations," says tho E ening Standard today, "the Prima Minister was so dissatisfied with Eamon do Valera's reply thnt he asked ftho couriers sent to Scotland to return im mediately to Dublin to convey to Do Vnlcra the Premier's views on tiio points raised." "In view of tho indefinite character of the Sinn Fein proposnls," continues the newspaper, "the couriers were, in effect, told to go homo and produce something better. Di Valera's note was so full of reservations as to precipitate all sorts of difficulties were they no cleared up In advance of the full con ference. "These reservations, nlso, did not accept Lloyd George's first condition that the basis of the whole conference must be acceptance of Ireland's inclu sion within the Empire." "It is bclieed tho points nt issue will be cleared up in sufficient tlmo for the conference to open next Tuesday," continues the wwspuper. "The Prlmn Minister is noting within tho powers oonferred upon him personally to con duct tho interim negotiation! In order that nothing might Interfere with tho holding of the conference Tuesday." Belfast, Sept. 11. (By A. P.)' There Is n theory here thnt the mission of Harry Boland und Joseph McGrath, Sinn Fein lenders who went to Galr loch to confer with Primo Minister LIod George, wns to obtain tho release of Irish Republicans who havo been interned.
