France desires it and brings it about

De Valera Returns to Dub
lin With Lloyd Georges
Document

London, July 22-The center of in
terest in Irish, affairs was transferred
to Dublin to-day with the departure
of Eamonn De Valera and his cabinet
for the seat of their government.
The Irish leader is taking with him
a document he received yesterday from
the hands Of David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, setting forth
definite proposals by the British gov
ernment as settlement of the Irish
problem.
These proposals will be submitted to
members of the Dali Eireann asSwell
as other prominent Irish republicans,
and Mr.. Lloyd George will hear from
time to time how the discussions are
proceeding Later, Mr.. De Valera will
return TO London for further conver-
sations, and Sir James Craig, the III
ster premier, may re-enter the nego-
tiations at this time.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
truce in Ireland will continue for an
indefinite period, thus convincing the
most skeptical that the factions still
are far from discouraged.
London newspapers this morning
take an exceedingly cheerful view of
the entire situation refusing even 10
anticipate the probability Of a break
down.
just how much the hostility of III
sterite members Of the House Of Com
mons affect the government Is not yet
apparent. The Times says IL is not
to be under.estimated, and adds, Ger
tainly the relief and satisfaction which
would be produced by a settlement
along any lines would sweep the OPP
position aside and give the government
authority TO conclude
he arrangements"

certain indicted persons TO trial. he |
paid money to the persons demanding

prosecution of an Indictment and pro. |
tected the defendants from prosecution.

rest OF Perry and Barry were given
him on September 10, 1918. that he
went to Perry's Office but did not find
