Crowds Wave American Flags
Outside House Where Dis
cuSsiOns Held.
POPULAR SENTIMENT
HOPEFUL OF PEACE
Voiced By Lord Mayor in Speech
at Meeting of Dublin
Corporation.
tRy The AssoeIated Rre.a !,

DUBLIN, July 4.-For three hours
today Eamonn de Valera, the Irish
republican leader, Arthur Griffith,
founder Of the Sim Fein, and four
Southern unionists, Earl Middleton. Sir
Maurice Dockrell, Sir Robert Henry
woods and Andrew Jameson, conferred
on the Irish situation with a view to
/ preparing the way for possible negotia-
tlons with the British prime minister
and the Ulster premier, Sir James
Craig.
Great crowds gathered outside the
Mansion house where the discussions
took place, waving American flags,
many falling on their knees and re-
citing prayers for the success of the
conference. The unionist representa-
tives met with a cordial reception from
those assembled.
The members of the conference were
reticent regarding what took place at
the meetings, but points Of agreement
were reached on the financial question
and the disadvantages of partition.
Popular sentiment is very hopeful
of peace
This was voiced by the Lord Mayor
in a speech at the meeting of the
Dublin corporation after the confer
ence, in which he said that he was
breaking no confidence in declaring
that much good would come of 1t.
In statement to the Associated
Press tonight an important official in
touch with all sides of the situation
asserted that the government was pre-
pared to make large concessions. the
far reaching effect of which Mr.. De
Valera would appreciate. He added
that fears that Mr.. De Valera would
be hampered by physical forces were
baseless.
The view is entertained here that
Sir James Craig's absence from the
conference may be even advantageous
to the present negotiations, since any
concessions necessary from Ulster
might easier be made by the Ulster
premier in London than Dublin. This
view, however, is not shared by the
members of the conference would have
preferred that all Ireland should be
represented.
An exciting incident was enacted
after the conference. A large republi-
can flag decorated with American en-
blems hanging from a window in Do
mimic street was removed by soldiers.
A girl seized the flag and escaped.
Later the flag was hung from a rope
across the street. Auxiliary police
climbed to the roof and cut the rope:
when the flag fell 1t was seized by
watchers, but was recaptured by the
auxiliaries. A shot was fired during
the excitement and the girl was Sc
verely wounded.

BERLIN, July 4.-American flags
flew over Berlin today for the first
time since the American declaration
of war, but the American mission and
the German foreign office have not yet
been formally notified that congress
has concluded peace. The newspapers
in the absence of the text OF the peace
resolution confine their comment to
the hope that "there will be speedy
resumption of peacetime commercial
relations"
German official circles are awaiting
the text and developments
Meanwhile opinion. in the German
foreign office is unofficially summed
up as follows:
AN intolerable situation is ended
but we do not know what to expect
or what the peace conditions will be-
whether the United States will sub
scribe to the Versailles treaty in toto
or at all. We are awaiting to be Of
ficially apprised of the terms of the
compromise resolution and what the
next move will be-"
Some of the newspapers express the
hope that the United States will i'm
mediately take a hand in having the
penalties lifted and the Upper Silesiar
question decided. Others view the
situation as a formal state of peace
still without meaning"
The stars and stripes f1oated from
the American chamber of commerce
as well as from a few private dweII-
ings.

RARITAN, N. J., July 4-Acting as
sponsor here today of rowboat made
by a ten-year- boy, President Hard

tion of a single sentence in tribute
to the ingenuity and genius of Amer
lean boyhood. The dimunitive craft
which inspired the presidents toast
was the 'Raritan," nine feet over all
conceived and built by Joseph S. Ere

The bank of an artificial lake forming
a hazard across a golf course of the
Raritan valley country club was the
scene of the launching and will be the
home port of the ''Raritan," as she
sailed a tramp course in search OF
misdirected golf balls. Had she been
the largest ocean liner the vessel
could scarcely have taken to the water
with a greater show of ceremony.
Specially constructed ways whose
upper end rested on a soap box guild

her bows, and said:
"As a tribute to American boyhood,
who build castles in the air, who build
boats and whose achievements in the
future will build this country, chris
ten this boat, the handiwork Of Joe
Frelinghuysen, the Raritan."
Entering thoroughly into the spirit
which prompted Joe and his young
friends to plan the ceremony, Mr..
Harding spoke his tribute solemnly
and applauded as the boat splashed
into the water with her builder and
master sitting proudly amidships.

boy himself, in white golf costume.
turned to the group of boys that had
gathered on the bank and swapped
opinions with them about the fine
points of the Raritan.
Manifestly the president enjoyed the
launching more than any other event
on his Fourth Of July program, though,
previously, he had been presented with
a silver cup by the country club and
later was the central figure at a
luncheon and public reception at the
Frelingnuysan house. More than q
