Warrant Further Forces.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2s.-The latest
French communication insisting that
more troops be sent into Upper
Silesia Immediately. which came as
something of surprise to official
circles in London. is understood to
have been the subject of an impor-
t.nt conference in the official resi-
dence of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, in Downing street., this
morning. at which Mr.. Lloyd George.
the dominion premiers and several
members Of the cabinet were pres
ent.. 1t was stated in political quar-
t.rs that the inSiStence OF France
had caused some anxiety in Downing
street. and hope was expressed that
today's conference would solve the
difficulty.
After the meeting it was announc-
ed that Lord Curzon. the foreign
minister. would see NJ. de st. Aulalre.
the French ambassador. this after
noon. and that the meeting OF the
allied supreme council mlSht again
be somewhat delayed

appears that it may become neces-
sary to discharge many soldiers
who do not want to quit at this
time because of unfavorable labor
conditions.
At Fort Myer the commandant
is granting discharges to appli-
cants up to the 80 per cent limit,
where the men are not of the
highest type of soldiers, but if
they are veterans and good SOL
diers, he suggests that they take
a ten-day furlough instead. and
spend it looking for an outside
job. If they can get a job, he
says. they may be discharged, but,
otherwise, they had better remain
in the service. Nearly all of the
applicants accepted the sugges-
tion of the furlough and virtually
all found they could not get de-
sirable work and withdrew their
applications for discharge. Simf-
lar conditions are reported at 9TH
er military posts and the authori-
ties believe that large propor-
tion of the trained soldiers will
remain, and that only the new
recruits and misfits will insist on
getting out.

DUBLIN BELIEVES
PEACE IS ASSURED
All Factions Now See Very
Long ParIey in Settling
the Final Terms.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, July 2S.-A more hopeful
feeling prevailed here today concern
ing a solution of the Irish problem
and the belief was expressed that. al
though the path to peace might be
longer than at first anticipated. a set
tlement eventually would be reached.
Meantime, the truce will be contin-
ued.
Eamon de Valera, the Irish republic
an leader, has not as yet sent an an
swer to Prime Minister Lloyd George
regarding the governments terms for
peace, and up to the present official
circles have no better means of know
ing what the answer will be than has
any one else. Among the visitors TO
Mr. de Valera at the Mansion House
today was A. w. Cope. assistant un-
dersecretary in the office of the chlef
secretary for Ireland. 1t was he VINO
signed the truce terms on behalf OF the
civil administration and he has been
one of the principal advocates of an
amicable settlement.
1t was authoritativcly stated here
today that MIR. de Valera had not
made application to tile government
for the release of members of the
Irish republican parliament who are
in prison, and that. although their
release would be granted on his re-
quest. it would not occur without 1t.
There is no immediate intention OF
summoning the republican parlia-
ment. il was learned. Members of
the republican cabinet who were
asked today as to the reasons for the
delay in summoning the parliament
replied that to summon the parlla-
ment or to ask for the release of the
imprisoned members to attend it
would imply that the situation had
reached a more advanced stage than
had been attained.

trouble Eamon de Valera, Irish re-

may be having in Dublin to reach

also intimated- that the negotiations
may continue for several weeks.

Irregularities or exorbitant profits, If
any, existed.

Another man was under considera-

but was unable to give his whole time
to the work. and as he had the most
implicit confidence In the ability, In
tegrity and knowledge of the situa-
ton possessed by Col. Goff. he would
ask him to undertake the task while
at the same time retaining his posi-
ton as assistant to the Attorney Cen

added, would be as glad to give

fident that further apPropria tions

vestigation of war contracts with as
little expense as possible.
Some evidence has already been
gathered. Mr.. Daugherty said. which
may lead to action by the depart
ment, but as yet no cases have been
