TO END HOSTILITY FIRST

DrsLrS. March l0.--in correction
with Premier Lloyd Georges announce
nient in Parliament that the Govern
ment is Wiling to consider any sugges-
ton for the future Of Ireland apart
from a demand for an irish Republic"
it can be stated on excellent authority
that the renewed discussions looking TO
peace. which began with the confer
ences OF Mr.. Lloyd George and Sir Ed
ward Carson are now we'll advanced.
The Government according to this in
formant insists that the first step in any
consideration ot settlement with south
ireland must be the cessation of attacks
by the Irish republican army on crown
forces. The Governments position in
this respect, so far as can be ascertained
from those authorized TO speak for the
Dali Eiraenn, offers no barrier to peace
conference, provided the Government
likewise agrees to restrain the activities
OF It's forces, particularly the irregular
police, against the republicans.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., March 10.


Washington, ID. c., March 10.
Tbs Tinted States Bureau of Mines
announced to-day that a cooperative
agreement has been effected between the
Tidewater Coal Exchange Of New YORK
me. and the bureau for the classlilcs-
tion Of coal shipped for export through
the ports of New York, Philadelphia anu
Baltimore on basis Of accurate sam
pling and analysis. The agreement pro-
vides for the establishment OF limits
and tolerances and quality for certain
pools and for the maintenance OF the
quality OF she pools within the limits
specified.
Bureau or Mines officials regard this
as one Of the most important moves in
connection with coal in recent years and
as being the forerunner of the establish
ment of standards for coal consumed IN
the United States, with the resultant
fixing Of prices based on quality. The
coal men have always opposed the fixing
or standards, but in order 70 keep the
market for coal which they secured dur
ing the war after n controversy among
themselves have finally decided to per-
nit the Government to classify coal ac-
cordins 10 quality 70 insure only the
higher grades being sent TO tidewater for
expor..
The agreement entered into to-day
applies t. Goals shipped from Pennsyl-
vanla, Maryland and Northern West
Virginia. IN eighteen months 100000
tons OF coal, in approximately 100000
cars, were shipped from these districts
through the Tidewater Coal Exchange OF
New York.
Under the terms or tie agreement the
Bureau Of Mines will direct the work OF
oLtaining tine technical information re-

THE general purpose Of the classifl-

OF American coal shipped from various
districts 70 Europe. The pooling OF Goals

1000 ARRESTED IN
 AN7|-DRUC DRIVE
Backbone of Narcotic Traffic In New York City Declar-
 ed to Have Been Broken.

NEW YORK, April 8--Claiming virtually to have broken the back of the illicit drug trade in New York City, in a four months drive, Special Deputy Police Commissioner Carleton Simon has declared war )n an international ring which he charges is responsible for illegal dis tribution, of dope throughout the Cnited States.
 In the anti-narcotic drive here more than 1000 arrests have been made and millions of dollars wort h of drugs seized.
 Although the illegal drug trade haH been broken Dr. Simon asserted the work of his bureau is not only to continue here but is to be en- larged to meet the problems in other big cities in America and abroad.
 Ky means of an international bureau of criminal records now be- ing established, all data concerning drug crooks is to be ready for cities whSrc Heads" pointing to New York might be uncovered, the commission CT said. Recently he added, Ant werp police had requested informa- tion concerning an alleged leader of the international ring. It was furnished by New York that the man had police records in London, Paris, Brussels and New Orleans and had served prison sentences at var ious places aggregating 20 years.
 We made more arrests these past tofore," said Dr. Simon, who was selected to direct the drive because of his medical training. Every wing of the metropolitan police depart- ment was coordinated. working in conjunction with the Federal agents. In consequence, the fear" has been spread through the army of vendors. Before he assumed his job, Dr. Simon said traffic in drugs in New York had reached an amazing stage. His first move was to seek to clean up New York then aid in solving the drug vending problem in other citcs-a resultant evil of the situa- ton here.
 ! Squads of special men were spread to all parts of the greater city, expert men being picked to patrol the lower East Side where vendors were even using school children as go-betweens' to supply addicts.
 Constant watch was kept on in coming ships where alleged snug glers were resorting to all manner of tricks to sneak the narcotics i into this country. Arrests of per sons on the docks revealed drugs hidden in artificial arms and limos; in sausages and clothing. Once the anti-narcotic forces were working systematically and arrests became 1 frequent, the situation soon gave evidence of being cleared up.
 The almost daily raids in the city reached climax recently in Brook iyn when agents entered an apart ment, arrested several persons and seized drugs worth thousands of dol lars. The great majority arrested were "curbstone" vendors
