 Britain Anxious For Peace
 LONDON, July 10.-The British prime minister, MT. Lloyd George, and the Irish republican leader, Eamonn de Valera, will probably meet some day this week to discuss a basis for a general conference on an Irish set clement. Mir. Lloyd George has asked MT. De Valera to name the day and has added an invitation to any col leagues whom you wish to bring with you.'
 Ireland's struggle for freedom has been long history of baffled hopes: otherwise the present situation would be full of promise for final peaceful settlement. But while past history does not afford food for over-confi- dence =. point emphasized in the way of warning by de Valera him. self in manifesto to the Irish people there are some aspects which dfffpv- anrira1W peace effort.
 First, the whole British nation now is practically willing to grant Ireland dominion status. if Ireland is willing to drop the demand for a republc.
 Second, the dominion premiers now in London are ready to support, ac- l cording to all indications, Irelands claim for dominion status with fiscal autonomy and voice in foregn af- fairs, the latter being an important aspiration of the dominions them selves. Such help from the outside as that afforded hy a statesman of the calibre of General Shuts. the South African premier, who admittedly has such influence over the government | policy, is an asset which Ireland has never before enjoyed.
 Third. tkis is the first time that Mir. | tions has imposed no condition what ever.
 His telegram to Mir. De Valera to- l day. chara acterized as conceived in the l happiest terms, permits the Irish re publican leader to bring any col | leagu he chooses.
 Finally, truce has been arranged for an indefinite period.
 No. date has been fixed or hint of any notice required to denounce it. The whole surrounding circumstances in this latest peace effort would seem to prove that both sides are deeply in earnest.
 On the other side of the picture is the attitude of the extremists among both Sim Feiners and Orangmen, and doubts are expressed as to how far they can be controlled by the leaders. There also is what has up to l the present been the irreconcilab bic attitude of Mir. De Valera and his col leagues against the partition of Ire land and the apparently equal deter imitation of Ulster that the present status of the six counties under the home nule act shall not be disturbed Ulster is smarting under the serious trade boycott exercised by Southern Ireland. but hopes are still high that this and other difficulties will be smoothed out at the conference.
 The government has ceased recruit ing iu England for the Irish consta bu- Iary. Meanwhile, On the approach of the twelfth of July, "Orangeman's day serious rioting. with many per sons killed and wounded, has broken out at Belfast.
