Pretext to Be Used That He
Is "TubercuIar"

LONDON. Aug. 27.-cordons Of
troops were thrown about Bixton
prison today. The military took this
action after discovery that a number
OF persons demonstrating for release
OF Lord Mayor MacSwecney Of Cork

charged and broke up every group
that gathered in the vicinity Of the
prison. Several additional arrests
were made.
Effect OF the hunger strike Of Mac
Sweeney upon the political situation
In both ireland and England was be
lievcd today TO be slowly breaking
down official opposition to his re-
lease.
The approaching death of the lord
mayor. who has been on n hunger
strike since In Brixton prison for
more than two weeks. has created a
serious crisis in Ireland. Radical
and labor elements in England are
beginning TO make II their fight.
The Macsweeney case. coupled with
the threatened coal strike. led TO re-
ports today that Premier Lloyd
George had decided TO curtail his
vacation" in Luccrne and return to
London. The rumor was revived
that the government would release
MacSweeney on the pretext OF having
contracted tuberculosis. thus reliev-
ing the situation without relaxing its
announced determination TO release
no more hunger strikers.
The latest word from Brixton
prison today was that the lord mayor
was in a semiconscious condition
and SO weak that doubt was ex.
pressed OF his recovery even should
he receive his release.
After visiting the lord mayor this
morning, his wife and sister Annie
said his death was imminent.

PUBLICATION OF
PEACE TERMS URGED
In a message sent jointly to Lloyd
George, Arthur Baifour and Leo Ka-
menen. Bolshcvik trade commissioner
in London. the executive council Of
the British labor party declared that
body had helped TO induce the reds to
withdraw the Objectionable terms
thus removing the Instructions to
peace-and urged that the British
and Russians simultaneously publish
the fun terms upon which peace can
be obtained.
Unofficial reports would indicate
that the Bolshcviki lost nearly half Of
their effective fighting units in
Poland. The number OF reds engaged
was estimated by Gen. Haller at
about 100000. The number of prison
ers taken by the Poles was said to be
nearly 10000. while about 10000 have
crossed into East Prussia and been
informed.
Sporadic fighting was reported on
some portions OF the battle line ex-
tending from the region OF Grodno
southwark to the vicinity of Lem
berg. but north OF Warsaw the sole
activity appeared TO be the rounding
up Of scattered bands of reds.
