ST. PAUL, Sept. THE Ameri-

FATE OF IRELAND
IN BALANCE

DUBLIN. Sept THE Sim Fem will
enter a peace conference with the English
government regardless of whether the
British recognize the Irish republic, it
was announced this afternoon by respOn-
sible republican leaders.
Neither Eamonn De Valera nor the
Sim Fein cabinet intend that the English
should recognize the Irish republic be-
fore any further steps are taken,' said
one Sim Fein cheftain. "But we wish
TO approach the conversations un-
fettered. We do not wish to be re-
stricted'
Every one here recognizes that Ireland 's
fate is in the balance as the British cabi-
net is meeting at Inverness. The de-
cision Of the cabinet is being awaited
with the greatest anxiety.

the wedding ring is slipped Upon the

The attitude of the average youthful
