Plebiscite Held Possible

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Lloyd Georges
! direct reply to Eamonn de Valera
followed by his speech at Barns
ley. which reiterated the Brit
ish viewpoint that ireland has
| been offered not only every element
of freedom compatible with the
safety of the empire, but more
than was ever offered Ireland in
previous history" is expected to
bring forth a new expression from
| the Dali Eireann tomorrow.
The Dali will meet in secret ses-
sion to consider the British pre-
mier's communication. and probably
will return an answer at the con-
clusion of the session. The Barns
ley speech is expected to have
direct influence upon the DaiIs de-
liberations, possibly to the extent
of forcing De Valera to go to his
own people in a plebiscite on the
question of acceptance or rejec-
tion of the governments peace pro-
posals.
Holiday Spirit Prevails.
II outward appearances are any
indication of the general sentiment
in Sim Fein. the Irish people have
no fear OF any immediate termina-.
ton of the negotiations and re-
version to warfare. Nowhere is
there a tightening of the military
lines. Members of the Irish Repub-
lican army still stroll about the
streets of Dublin apparently uncon-
cerned over the future. A large
party composed of members of the
Irish parliament and their friends,
in the gayest of spirits, made a
picnic excursion in a fleet of motor
cars to Glendalough today and hol-
iday sentiment prevailed through
out the south of Ireland.
Great significance is attached to
the arrival in London of Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, who is ex-
pected to confer with Lloyd George
during the next few days. 1t is
rumored, as well, that De Valera
himself may appear on the scene
during the latter part of next week
'Craig's presence here was brought
about by an urgent summons by
thC DAANASh lnul-
cate that Lloyd George may make
another attempt to persuade the
Ulster leader to recede from his
,obstructionist stand.
Sounds Warning to Ulster.
In this connection. Lloyd Georges
Barnsley speech was delivered with
one eye on the attitude of Ulster.
His declaration that "the most
cruel and most terrible civil war
the island has ever seen" would re-
suit from complete severance Of Ire.
land from the United Kingdom and
his appeal to clear aside prejudice"
were taken as warnings to Ulster
quite as distinctly as to Sim Fein.
But the chief hope that the
negotiations will continue is con-
tanned in this fact: Lloyd George
has declared that Ireland can have
anything short of complete sever
ance-and De Valera has not ac-
tually demanded the establishment
OF a republic in any OF the inter-
changes thhs fa-

are also special "children's trains"
each capable of caring for 5000
children every twenty-five hours.
They are equipped with splendid
kitchens, large stocks of clothing,
particularly underwear. and carry
trained nurses.
simultaneously the government
has opened thousands of first-aid
stations along the principal routes
taken by the refugees fleeing from
the hunger belt. Ninety-eight of
these are devoted exclusively to re-
lief of infants.
Maternity hospitals numbering
220 have been established, and
great stores of clothing. of which
there is an appalling lack, have
been released and are ready for

Every time come TO New York /

can as well as British, exclaim:
How it has changed"
The big buildings are always
there, in their proper places and the
new ones, especially up town, do
not at first obtrude themselves on
your notice. but at each new visit
you instinctively feel that some
thing has altered, that you either
miss familiar sight or an old fea-
ture. or that the aspect of a street
or district has under gone some sub
tie change.
Notes Change I'm City Noise.
This time the new change for me
is in the notes.-the voice Of the
city. Eight years ago. before the
war. New York seemed to talk in
sharp yells over an accompaniment
Of minor thunder. and IL took me
a few days to tune up my ears to
the proper pitch fer conversation
on the narrower streets.
Then came a different voice dur
ing tne war, ana, alter the armiS-
tice, a voice not unlike the deep,
muffled roar of London.
Now that again has changed to a
high tenor rumble, with explosions
and high register screams from fac
tories and architectural undertak-
ings. And ! have noticed that every
morning at about go the whistles
Of the river craft and ferry boats
blend into a sound almost exactly
like an organ. Indeed. so close is

CONVICT FORGERS
PLY TRADE IN JAIL

Security of Cells in

OSSINING, N. T., Aug. 2S.-
BY stealing blank checks, forE-
ing the name of Warden Lewis
q. Lawes and Endorsements Of
persons doing business with the
prison, convicts Mt Sing Sing
have defrauded persons outside
the prison out of $4,000 in the
last two months. 1t became
known today, when three pris-
Oners who had access to the
checks were placed in solitary
confinement pending an investi-
cation.
The men are George LiljewaII,
serving time for forgery;
"Frenchy" Levine, and J. o.
Bennett. LiJewalIs minimum
sentence of two years had ex-
pired and he wns about to be
discharged, when Agent Winter
steen, of State Comptroller
"endelps office, detected the
fOrgeries when examining prison
accounts.
Eight forged checks, paid and
cancelled, were found among
those returned to the prison.
Inspection of the cOnptroller's
cheekb0ok showed that the
checks had been stolen out of Ii.
The thief who took the checks
had Warden Lawes' name forged
to them.
Those who cashed the checks
and not the State will have to
stand the losses, 1t was said.
This is the third time in four
years convicts, accustomed to
dealing In spurious checks when
at large, have piled their trade
while inmates of the prison. In
the other two instances, which
occurred under Warden w. H.
Meyer and Edward ". Brophy,
the State had to pocket the loss.
