PAPERS OPTIMISTIC
 AT TRUCE PROSPECT
Arthur Henderson Is Reported Acting as Go-BetWeen for
 Government and Sim Fein
By Associated Press

London. December 1.-The newspapers of England today were filled with op- timistic articles concerning possibilities of an early truce between the Sim Fein and the government. Reports that the labor member of the House of Commons, Arthur Henderson, who is in Ireland at the head of the labor commission inves- tigating conditions there, is acting as an unofficial go-between for the gov- ernment and the Sim Feiners, and rum ors that the Catholic church intends taking a hand in the efforts at con- ciliation, have been linked with Premier Lloyd Georges speech at the consti- tutional club last evening.
 While MT. Lloyd George firmly re- iterated in the address the necessity of suppressing murder and revolution in Ireland, his speech contained sections which the press generally interprets much as does the Pall Mall Gazette, which heads the address, "The Premier Lights The Path"
 Premier Lloyd Georges main points may be summarized thus:
 "To make Ireland a free agent in dis cussing the problems of Ireland, you must break the terror. Stamp out mur- der, suppress revolution, and restore free dom to Ireland. Then face our problem. We must have double courage. The first is courage to suppress and the other Is even greater courage, that is, courage to concliate."

Mexico City, June 4-The revolu- Hon which overthrow President Car Anxa and culminated in his death N4s attended by many interesting or exciting episodes which could not be Reported to the outside while the coup was in progress. Some of the Discoveries which have followed the Installation of new authority in the capital city, too, have been entertain ing.
 4 Notable was that revealed by ad Interim officials of the Treasury De- partment who announced they had found evidence of a fraud which had netted somebody an amount estimat- ed at about 100000 pesos. The pa pers here say that, when the infalci- ncables (paper money with which the Country was f1ooded) during the last Previous revolution) were burned, about one-quarter of the amount of- hcially reported to have been de- stroyed had been previously extract cd and sold at the current rate of 10 centavos on the peso. The Car ranza government had been taking the old paper money in as sort of sUpertax on import duties and other taxes. Later it was supposed to be burned.
 & While no disorders occurred in the capital during the evacuation by the Carranza government and the occupa- tion by the liberal revolutionary forces, nor did public services cease functioning for an instant, the in habitants of the capital were victims both of inconveniences and profiteers Food prices increased and change which has been the bugbear of ev- Si ei1 sational rise months ago, sold at 8 Is per cent. premium. .
