gathered. however that the confer

conference conducted in an atmos-
phere of peace. The Irish delegates
were aware before thy cam to Lon
don of dissatisfaction on tn part Of
the British government regarding the
alleged breaches. and they had no in
tention of unduly stressing that
question, but were anxious for mu-
tual understanding on the matter
The British authorities also are
irritated over the resumed activities
of the Sim Fein police and law
courts in Ierland, which are carry

es of ordinary law and adjusting
litigation. Recruiting for the Irish
Republican army, which, in County
Glare alone is said to have brought
1000 men under arms, is another
matter which the government has
taken exception to and so long as
any doubt of settlement remains the
government will endeaVor to secure
the position that each party continue
Just as when the truce was declared.
1t is believed that both parties can
arrive at satisfactory arrangement
in this regard.
The average Londoner took little
interest in today's sessions. but Irish
residents and Sim Fem sympath-

the Dali delegates and to wish them
success in their negotiations. There
was goodly crowd at the entrance
to Downing street during the morn

fiuSs, wore the party's colors. sang
hymns and rected the rosary.
Similar scenes were witnessed
during the afternoon session, when
the people. although not so numer-
