found as surplus at a base near the
others. These will be transferred to
the proper department. the trans
supplies will be trucked to the point
where they are needed.
Thus the government not only will
save the cost Of the materials for
which 1t has already paid and for
which it perhaps would receive a be-

Sales Must Be Approved.
Before any material is sold now
the proposed sale must have the scru-

before 1t leaves the hand of the gov

that some department may need it

one base that is typical Of others
scattered in various parts OF the
country. Til: ones Ct which inven-

the distribution Of supplies will be
made up from these.
The inventories are to be classified
for easy examination and comparison
with orders for supplies. There will
be an electrical list, a plumbing list,

HOPESF0R PEACE
IN ERIN STILL HIGH
De Valera Likely to Go to
London Again With More
Colleagues.
By the Associa ted Press.


LONDON, July 23-The feeling
both in London and Dublin over the
prospects of peace in Ireland remain
optimistic. E;amon de Valera, the
Irish republican leader. today dis
cussed the British terms with Arthur
Griffith and others, at the Mansion
House in Dublin, but no formal con-
ference was held and Mr.. de Valera
informed inquirers that it was most
unlikely any developments would take
place in the immediate future.
There will probably be further con-
situations among the Sim Fein min
listers. after which a meeting OF the
Dali Eireann will be called. No date
for this meeting has been fixed, and 1t
is presumed that notifications of the
terms will be sought before the re-
publican parliament takes up the mat
ter officially.
Gen. SHUTS, the South African pre-
mier it is understood, will go to Ire
land early next week for the purpose
of conciliating, if possible. the OPP
posing factions of the north and
south. He will place his services at
the disposal of both Mr.. de Valera and
Sir James Craig. the Ulster premier.
and it is probable that he Will have
considerable latitude in the task be-
fore him.
The opinion i'm London is that the
British terms are not likely to be ac-
cepted as they stand, but Mr.. de
Valera is almost certain to come to
London again, with more OF his col
leagues, and the Ulster premier has
already declared that he would be
available at any time he was really
needed. =
Charges Complaints Ignored.
CORN, July 23.-Commandant Barry.
chief republican liaison officer. issued
a statement this evening in which he
says he has instructed the republican
iiaison officers to cease cooperating
with the British military officials in
Ireland until they recognize certain
complaints of alleged violations Of
the truce. y,
This action was taken, Commandant
Barry explained. in view of the re-
fusal by the British military to CO.
operate with the republican army's
liaison officers in carrying out the
terms of the truce, and their refusal
to deal with complaints of direct
breaches of the truce when regis
tered on Irish republican army note

W|NANS' MILLIONS
SHRUNK TO $4,000
Sportsman Believed to Have
Died Ignorant That He
Was Broke.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md. July 23.-
Whether Walter Winans. former mil
lionaire, knew he was broke when his
favorite horse threw him from a
sulky and broke his neck while driv-
ing in race in England a short time
ago is = mystery and always will re-
main one. John E. Semmes, counsel
for Mr. Winans and one of the execu
tors df his estate. thinks Mr.. Winans
knew or had pretty definite inkling
of the facts, yet he says that when
Mr.. Winans drew hts will last year
he drew It in manner indicating
of: instead of a few thousands.
Just how much the beneficiaries
under the will of Mr.. Winans will re-
ceive is another mystery. but it is
Mr.. Semmes will have to unravel. and
he is going to work on that job i'm
mediately. In fact. he already has
begun the preliminary work. The
job will be a long and tedious one,
for Mr.. Winans lived in many places
in his time; bought many things, to
some Of which his estate may still
hold title and which may be sold.
Died Before Feeling Want.
Mr.. Winans. died before he ever
felt the want of money. 1t has been
said that the loss of his fortune was
due to the bolshevik rule in Russia.
which wiped out the value of Russian
this was true to any great extent
Mr. Winans. he said. may have had
some of his money in Russian securi-
ties. but not enough to make him a
poor man by the loss of those securi-
ties.
Mr.. Semmes thinks he spent his
money. He lived like a prilce. was
lavish in his expenditures and in
dul2ed himself in the most expensive
sports. He had hunting leases on
large properties in many countries.
He had the right to shoot bear in
Russia. the right to shoot wild boar
in northern Germany, was master of
hounds at Spa. in Belgium: ne MAIN
tanned a racing stud at Vienna and
another at Surrender Castle, in Eng
land. where he lived for about fifteen
years, the longest time he ever lived
in any one place in his whole life.
His right hand never knew what his
left hand was spending, or how or
when or where.
When he was thrown out of his
sulky in the race in England Mr.
Winans was driving in a big race at
the age of seventy years. He was
taken 20 expensive apartments at the
Ritz. although the fortune. estimated
at S10.000.p00. with which he had
started out in life. had shrunken to
about 100000.
