The reason for dating the truce for
Monday is to give time for the news
to reach all concerned. This is a diff
fcult problem. as in some instances
Irish districts are cut off from all COM
nnunication. There is no time limit for
the truce and It is ..kcly that At Will
become permanent.
This is Ireland's arnistice night and
the Irish are celebrating with much
the same spirit as the peoples OF the
allied countries did on the night of
November IL, 1918.
People Lose Fear.
To Ireland this cessation of hostili-
ties means more in O. way than the
other truce did to allied cities, be-
cause the people are now able 10 walk
about the streets without fear of bombs
and stray shots. and can sleep safely
in their beds without being disturbed
by the intermittent firing which for
the last two years has become so much
a part of Dublin life that it seems
strange and almost too good to be true
to have the atmosphere so completely
changed.
Everybody hurried through dinner to-
night and then hocked TO the streets
singing. dancing. jostling good natured-
~, throwing confetti-in short, the irish
are doing Just the sort OF spontaneous
things which the great armistice night
proved people would do when released
from the terrible strain, anxiety and
suspense of war. For nothing so proves
that there has been a war in Ireland as
This relaxation 1t can be understood by
the rest of the world, for London knows
that feeling, New York knows II ana
SO does Paris.
Tomorrow these Irish people who
have PRAYED so fervently for their cause
will hock 10 the churches and Will AHer
thanks with greater fervor than ever
and will pray that the truce shall never
be broken. In the midst of this delivery
from terror the talk is all on one sub
iect. but a paradox as curious as was
that of sir Nevil Macready's welcome
before the Mansion House yesterday is
seen in the number of expressions COM
rending King George. The irish peo-
pie have a notion, the foundation Tor
which cannot be traced. but which per-
haps none the less is true. that the king
threw all the weight of the powerful
influence the crown has when IT does d
popular act for the good of the people
when he returned from Belfast and In
sisted that something must De uohe W
bring peace 10 Ireland.
Irish Remember King.
DEVELOPMENTS quickly followed his
visit and many Irishmen are remember
ing tonight that he is their King as
well as the English King. In this con-
nection one prominsnt Irishman SAID
IF the King ever comes 10 open the
southern Parliament he will get a re-
ception which will put to shame the one
he got in Belfast"
With both sides outspoken in their
eagerness to get around the council
table there is every indication tonight
that Eamonn de Valera and Arthur
Griffith, and whoever else they select
will go to London early next week for
the Irish peace negotiations, which PROB
ably will open Wednesday

delicate preliminaries have been swept
away. leaving the path clear for colo

of success is the good will and general
desire by all parties to find way out
No inkling of the attitude De Valera
will take at the conference has been
learned and this extreme caution Is
due TO a desire that nothing be done
which will weaken the props of peace

everywhere as unarmed troops and
