A general order directing the suspen-
sion of hostiiities during the peace nego-

IN pursuance of the mutual under

The careful wording of Mr.. de Va
lera's acceptance Of a conference is in
terpreted in some quarters here as
based on the necessity of the Irish re-
publican leader feeling his way with
his own followers. 1t is thought, ho1/

barked upon cannot we'll be delihe1
discarded, and that alone is
