dozen or so bottles of a foun-

After the little party had
gone off in the darkness in an

reached out from inky space, as
it were, snatched the jug, and

suit, but the "clutching hand"

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Leaders OF
the Irish delegation in London
were confident this afternoon Mat
the Sim Fein parliament at its
meeting in Dublin will authorize
Eamon De Valera to continue peace
negotiations with Premier Lloyd
George.
Questioned in the House of Commons
this afternoon, Premier Lloyd George
announced that no amnesty had been
granted to anyone in Ireland. He said
that the release of the elected repre-
sentatives of the Sim Fein was no pre-.
cedent for the release of others.
Canvassed by Cabinet.
The critical Irish situation which
was precipitated by publication Of the
exchanges between Premier Lloyd
George and de Valera was canvassed
by a fall meeting of the British cab.
met.
The Sim Feiners are apparently
less pessimistic than the GnglisA.
One member of the Irish delegation
described the situation as "ons OF
optimism and promise" adding:
"Our view is that the exchanges
between Premier Lloyd George and
de Valera show clearly that neither
will be quick to break off the nego.
tiations. Nothing more can be said
and nothing more can be done until
the question is referred to Dali Fir.
eann tomorrow. Then It is possible
that the negotiations will enter a
new phase"
Threatened with deadlock and a re-
newal of warfare in Ireland, the Irish
peace situation reached its most
critical stage today.
"It Is foolish to suggest that there
is any substantial hope for peace"
says the Dublin correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph.
Seek Independence.
The publication of the correspond.
ence which passed between Premier
Lloyd George and Eamon de Valera,
head of the Sim Fein government.
reveals that the Irish republicans ace
holding out for absolute Independence
despite the reiterated public declara-
tions OF British government spokes-
men that England will never consent
TO the creation OF an Irish republic.
Most of the morning papers take
the view that the door nas not been
clos, further peace negotiations,
but 'fie latts. developments have

There was a full session OF the
cabinet to consider the Irish crisis.
simultaneously II was announced that
Il was unlikely that Premier Lloyd
George would make statement on
Ireland in the House of Commons this
evening.
