URGES CONGRESS
TO MAKE PEACE
Sen. Fall Introduces Resolu-
ton for Separate Peace
Without Treaty.

Separate peace with Germany with
out the formality Of n treaty was
proposed to Congress yesterday by
joint resolution introduced In the Sem
ate by Senator Fall.
The resolution declares the war at
an end and directs the President to
bring back to America Immediately
all the soldiers who are now abroad.
The return Of all the naval forces not
required to remain in foreign ports
In time of peace Is also demanded.
No reference is made In the resoiu-
ton to the acceptance by the German
government of the peace terms, but
it is stated that all the terms of the
have been complied with.
Senator Fall carried his idea of i'm
mediate peace further by offering an
amendment to the military appro-
priation bill to forbid the expenditure
of any OF the money allowed by the
bill for the maintenance of soldiers
abroad. The amendment also declares
that the war with Germany and with
Austria is at an end.
a resolution drafted along lines
similar to that of Senator Falls was
introduced by Senator Edge. The two
were referred to the For
eign Relations Committee, of which
Senator Fall is one of the Republi-
can members. The amendment to the
military bill will be voted upon later
in the week.

London. June 23.-More than

De Valera Talks inNew York:
Delegates Back Up Charges

Paris. June 23.-Answering Jan

OF English atrocities in Ireland,

commission, and Edward +. Dunno,
former Governor of Illinois, have is

ing the lie to the contentious of the
chief secretary of ireland.
Charges Against Government.
The statement in part follows:
I'VE might refrain from making
a reply to the answer of Mr.. Mac
Pherson. chief secretary for Ireland,
for these reasons. That our charges
were not directed against subordi-
nate officials of Jle English govern
ment in Ireland. but against the
of His Majesty, King
George ". That the reply of Mr..
Macpherson completely lodges the
demand for an impartial commis-
sion of investigation and is plainly
an undignified effort upon the part
of the English government to try
the Irish atrocity charges in friend

impartial tribunal. That it took
nearly two weeks to frame a reply
when any first class government
with orderly department records
could have submitted an honest and
truthful one within two hours. That
the reply, as characterized by the
London Times, is halting. stammer-
ing and evasive on account of the
and shameful admission
of misgovernment and violation of
human rights contained in the re-
ply itself.

nounced in Mr.. MacPherson's reply to
illustrate, we make the following Of
