DUBLIN. Aug. 24.-Dail Eireann
CThe Sim Fein parliamenD will re-
ject the English peace proposals and
will not make a counter offer. 1t was
learned today from a prominent re-
publican leader. The reason for this
proposed action is that the Sim Fein

Premier Lloyd George and that fur
Their concessions might be expected.
(Note-Both Premier Lloyd George
and Marquis Curzon. the foreign sec
rotary, announced in the British par
lament last Friday that the English
peace offer was the government .
Final word" and that no further con-
cessions would be made in the way OF
principle, although there might be
rearrangement OF sole Of the details.)

discussions among themselves. 1t is

Dali Eireann United
In Views For Solid
Irish Peace Pact

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Dail Eireaun,
which has been sitting at Dublin. is
united on the Irish peace question
and there is little likelihood of a
split, said dispatch from Dublin
today. The London Morning news
papers which are supporting the
Irish policy OF the British cabinet,
again expressed optimism today and
urged the public to be patient in
view OF the prolonged discussions.
The Dublin correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says that, while n
strong faction Of Dali Eireann
clings to the idea of a republic. there
is another important body that is
willing to see how far the dominion
status of Ireland will carry. The
correspondent warned the public that
the republican parliament will not
split, and that whatever answer IS
made to Premier Lloyd George will
give the united opinion of the par
lament.
Dali Eireann in it's reply to the
English .offer may ask IL Premier

Of H|SDR|Nk|NG,
HUSBAND AYERS
Sued on Grounds of lntoxica-
ton, Thomas Green Says She
Condoned and Aided Him.

That he had her full appreciation"
to become intoxicated is alleged by
Thomas A. Green, who today filed his
answer to the suit of Florence Top
ham Green, who seeks a limited d.
vorce alleging cruelty and intoxica-
ton.
Referring to an incident that hap
pened in September. 1919. while Mr..
and Mrs. Green were visiting friends
at Colesville. Md, defendant said
that It was the usual thing at these
parties to have much liquor; that
liquor flowed freely; that II was the
usual thing for all the guests, in
Guiding men and women, to imbibe
to excess: that plaintiff CMrs. Green)
has frequently imbibed and felt the
effects of 1t; that at said house there
was a side porch provided with cots
for the men to sleep on, known as
1.-THE Alcoholic Ward; that plaintiff
knew of the defendant drinking and
Joined him on these occasions. and
he had her full appreciation in this
matter"
Green denies that on these occa-
sions he conducted himself in "vio-
rent anu aDuSlNt was ic-
fused permission TO remain at said
house by the hosts" Defendant de-
clares that 1t is true that the hostess
requested him to leave but that the
host insisted upon his staying.
Green admits that he has INDUCED
in liquor all his life, but that the
plaintiff was fully acquainted with
this weakness when she married him.
He also says he has often begged
his wife not to have liquor in the
house.
Regarding his wife's allegation that
he took their baby out riding In an
automobile and that he got drunk and
left the baby in the car. the plaintiff
declares that he invited his wife to go
out with him, but that she said "she
did not care to 60; that he should go
and take the baby. Mr.. Green lie.
MES that he left the child alone In the
automobile for several hours while
drinking and caroussing."
Plaintiff says that he took the
pledge at one time for six months, and
conscientiously kept 1t, but that his
wife's persistent request TO buy "liq-
uor" shortly after his pledge expired,
started him to drink again.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-The great
dirigible ZR-2. which began a trial
flight on Tuesday morning, was
wrecked by an explosion this after
noon and fell into the Humber river.
In Air Fifty Hours.
The dirigible had been in the air
nearly thirty-five hours following her
ascent from Howden, and was appar.
emily prepared to go to Putnam for
a landing when the calamity occurred.
Following the explosion a sheet OF
flame lesped upward from the bal
loon and she was on fire when she
fell.
Three parachutes were seen to leave
the airship but experienced airmen
said that they would carry only a
fraction OF the large number of per,
sons on board.
The cause of the accident was not
known up to $50 o'clock. although of.
ficials of the British air ministry were
making frantic efforts to get all the
details.
Advices from Pulham said that the
dirigible was evidently a wreck.
Thousands See Disaster.
Thousands of perosns in Hull, who
were watching the flight of the Grigi.
BILE, saw the disaster. They stood hor.
ror-stricken in the streets as they
heard the blast.
Then a sheet of fire leaped upward
from the craft. The ship buckled and
began falling like a plummet leaving
behind sheet of flame and cluods of
thick smoke.
The first explosion took place at
545 o'clock, followed Immediately
afterward by another.
The spectators on land, who were
watching the aircraft, ran pell nell in
every direction when the accident oc-
CURED, fearing a raid of debris.
Four Made Escape.
Word from Hull at 6:35 O'Clock said
that so far as known four men had
made their escape from the airship
by clinging to parachutes. Relief
parties set out to find them and get
their story of the disaster and it's
cause.
Contradictory reports were received
as to the number of parachutes that
left the ZR-2. According to one re.
port three men were seen clinging
to one parachute.
