The date of the meeting, however,
is a consideration of some Importance
which will have to be decided before
the formal invitations 60 out. Amer
lean officials have emphasized that
they desire to get the delegates to-
gether as soon as practicable though
they have no intention of attempting
to dictate what day shall be selected.
They have suggested Armistice day,
November II.
Whether that time will be acceptable
generally to the other powers is un-
known here, but news reports from
abroad have indicated Great Britain
in particular might favor delaying the
meeting until spring. Much data must
be prepared by each nation for use
during the consultation here, large
staffs must be organized, and many
physical arrangements made in addition
to reaching an agreement on the pro-
gram.

Guesswork, Is Claim.
Many Favorable Signs
of Permanent Truce
Are Noted in London.

London, July 26.-(By The Associat-
ed Press.)-The uncanny silence Dub
lin maintains relative to the British
governments proposals would create
uneasiness but for the known fact that
the Sim Fein leaders are engaged in
daily discussion of these proposals,
which, as Austen Chamberlain, gov
ernment leader, revealed in the house
4 of commons Tuesday, were only "out-
lines and principles" This is inter-
preted to mean that they afford basis
for continued negotiations. No reply
has been received by the premier from
Mr.. de Valera.
, According to reports current in Dub
lin, what is called the crock of Ulster"
is the great obstacle which must be
taken into consideration.
Has Not Lost Hope.
1t is clear from the statements of
Lord Birkenhead, lord high chancellor
in the house of lords, and Mr.. Cham
berlain in the commons, that the gov
ernment has not lost hope of a settle
ment.
The former announced that the gov
ernment was hopeful it could make a
statement at an early date; Mr.. Cham
berlain clearly indicated that the gov

favorable signs. Mr.. Lloyd George
has decided that he will not 60 abroad
for vacation; he desired to be avail
able for any development. Moreover,
General Jan G. Smuts has booked pas
sage on liner sailing for South Africa
Friday and it is believed he would not
leave England unless convinced Irish
negotiations were in line for peace.
Not Extravagant, Claim.
A writer in the Westminster Gazette
points out that de Valera's demand for
independence for Ireland is far from
being an extravagant demand and it is
based on sound historical ground, name
", that under the act Of independence
passed by the British parliament in
1888, Ireland is a kingdom under the
British king. but united for the time
being under the treaty embodied in the
act Of union in 1900.
