IRISH ACCEPT
CHALLENGE OF
LLOYD GEORGE
Meet Today to Discuss Plans
To Break Deadlock
Both Sides Work Out
Reprisals. 49,.
By JOHN STEELE.
New York Times Chicago Tribune Cable.
Copyright, 1920.

Dublin, Aug. 24.-Mr. Lloyd
Georges challenge to responsible
elements in Ireland will be taken up
today when the Irish peace con-
ference assemblies in the ancient as
sembly rooms in Dublin to try to find
way out of the present conditions
and the consequent political dead
lock. The prime minister has prom
ised to consider any proposal short
of separation OF Ireland from the
empire that may be put forward by
any one in Ireland who is able 70
deliver the goods.
Business men of south and west
ireland, political leaders, former
unionist supporters and even some
representatives of Ulster are COM
ing together in the hope of working
out formula which will be accept
able to all factions in Ireland and
at the same time can be granted by
England.
Not Elected Delegates.
1t will not be convention o.
elected delegates, but will be gath
ering of representative men from all
parts of the country. Among those
who promised to participate are Lord
Shaftesbury. who owns most OF the
land on which the city OF Belfast is
built; the protestant bishop, Meath;
a dozen Catholic parish priests,
chairmen of chambers of commerce,
great land owners and business men
i'll all about 500.
In the last six weeks 10 co-opera-
tive creamerics have been wrecked
by police and soldiers as murder
reprisals and no one has been pun
ished. Many Irishmen frankly are
despairing of the situation.
Capt. Henry Harrison declares he
believes the policy of the British gov
crnment is to give Ireland "a thor
ough coop during the parliamentary
recess by coercion, arson and assas-
sinations.
This policy, he says, may last six
months, but won't break the spirit
of the Irish, and, at its end. Great
Britain, he believes, will have to
come TO some solution of the Irish
problem.

The recent action of the National
