ireland NOW :
ON verge Of
final PEACE
CONTINUED From FIrst Page

day with no fear of being suddenly
fired upon from ambush. Members
of the Irish Republican army even
appeared in public in uniform with
out being molested.
Little groups of the once-hated
black and tans strolled through the
streets without arms frequently stop
ping to chat with well-known Sim
Feiners and soldiers of the Repub-
lican forces.
On every hand, it was apparent a
genuine effort was being made by
both sides to avoid clashes and to
make the "MacReady-C Collins" truce
a great step toward permanent peace.
The spirit of the people here ap-
peared to be conciliatory. II was
noted that General MacReady, COM
mander of the British forces in Ire
land, was actually cheered by the
crowd when he arrived at the Man
sion House late yesterday to discuss
the truce terms with Eamonn De
Valera. The people are evidently
extremely anxious for peace.
The Freeman's Journal today
said:
'Today's news raises hopes in the
hearts of the people which have not
been felt for many months, thanks
to the efforts of the peace makers
who are doing their work well. We
are in sight of a cessation of blood
shed during which, with Gods bless
ing, a permanent, honorable peace
may be engendered."
De Valera and other Sim Fein
leaders were making preparations
today for the conferences with
Premier Lloyd George which will be
held in London at which it is hoped
permanent peace for ireland will
be decided upon and subscribed to.
Both sides will go into this con-
ference. it is said, in q spirit OF con-
cilaton.
The Sim Feiners are prepared to
forego their demands for absolute
| independence, and the British, it IS
believed here, will be ready to treat
with De Valera and his lieutenants
on terms OF equality and grant a
/ greater measure of f-government
to Ireland than has heretofore been
offered.
