Fein Proposals.

LONDON. Dec. Arthur Henderson,
bearer of a truce flag. was TO present
Sim Fein peace proposals to the British
government today.
Henderson, n British labor leader,
came direct from Ireland where he talked
with Sim Fein leaders. Other important
Intermediates hastened back and forth

that n truce impends was made by au-
thorlties on either side, but the at
mosphere was clearer than in months.
Henderson expected to see Lloyd
George today and 1t was believed the
premier would arrange meeting. The
premier in Commons last night reiter-
ated his cautious assertion that he was
willing to discuss with any authorized
and responsible persons any questions
that would bring peace to Ireland.
At the same time there were indica-
tions that fighting will continue to the
hour of the armistice, if it comes. The
government continued to raid and arrest.
