PEACE Dove IN IRELAND
Lloyd George Declares He Ia

IAssociated Press Dispatch. !

London, December 3.-Recent ru-
mors of important influences working
for the conclusion of truce. in Ire
land, preliminary to permanent peace
there are revived by some newspapers
here today. Suggestion Is made that
the different measures of Cancellation
are being considered but representa-
tfves are very vague and seemed to
be mainly based on remarks made by
Premier Lloyd George in the house of
commons yesterday. A member of
the house had asked the premier
whether, in view Of the approach of
Christmas, he had not better try to
bring about a truce, and the premier
said he was lust as anxious as the
Questioner to see murder in Ireland
ended and would not have waited for
the approach Of Christmas TO make
efforts In that direction"
Il have repeatedly said" Mr.. LLOYD
George continued, that am prepar-
ed to take any steps that will lead to
peace in Ireland"
Labor May Have Influenza
The supposed movement is linked
by newspaper winters, with visit to
Ireland OF the labor commission.
which is at present IN Dublin. and
pressure is aid to be brought to bear
on Irish hierarchy to intervene more
actively in the cause of peace. It ia
contended that sentiment against an
archy is growing daily in Ireland.
Dublin newspapers are also dis
cussing the possibilities of peace, al
though without contributing any more
definite facts than appear in journals
here.

ATTACK ON POET SOLDIER
D'Annunzio Is Seeking Every
Effort To Tighten Defense
Of Stronghold
[Assoeiat.d Press pispatch.l !.

Trieste, December 3.-A state of
war between the kingdom of Italy and
the regency of Quarnero. at Fiume,
began at midnight, but up to a minute
before the time there was no visible
evidence that actual war impended.
The blockade of Fiume was continu-
ing and the only indications Of trouble
were the fierce pronouncements Of
General Cayiglia and the regular Ital-
ian troops, which were surrounding the
city. ....
Forces Arc Isolated.
Communication between Fiume and
cut by an Italian patrol In the Gulf
of Quarnero, and supplies cannot be
taken to them from the city. Thus
the poet soldiers oocupational forces
there appear to be isolated.
Railroad traffic was functioning late
last night, but the usual restrictions
were enforced on the line Of demar-
cation between Fiume and the oc-
cupatoin zone outside, passage Of the
DAnnunzian legionaires through lines
being forbidden.
Prepare FOR Defense.
Emmissaries of D'Annunzio are 60
ing to and fro explaining his point of
view, but shortly before midnight
there were no extraordinary signs
that the threat Of war would take a
more concrete form. General Cayigla
has been able to tighten the condi-
lions under which D'Annunzio's fore
es are held In Fiume, and all ships
under the command Of the poet soldier
remain in the harbor, not venturfng
beyond the breakwater.
Fiume seemed tranquil yesterday,
with the exception OF important raids
by submarine chasers. There was not
the slightest movement OF the pepuia-
ton, which was showing an indiffer-
ent attitude toward the iegionaries.

D'Annunzio at Fiume seem to be a
