Held Some Day Next Week.

Dublin, ire, Sept. l7.--Eamon de
valera's telegram sent yesterday to
Prime Minister Lloyd George was to-
day declared by the Freeman's Jour
nal to make ii more evident that the
Prime Minister had been too hasty
in his conclusion that the Sim Fein
letter conveying details of the Irish
acceptance OF his invitation to con-
ference implied demand for recogni-
tion In advance of the Irish Repub-
lie" The newspaper asserted one en-
cOuraging fact was made clear by
the correspondence and that was that
both the British government and
the Irish leaders desire an honorable
peace and that the people of both
countries are overwhelmingly wish
them in this common desire"
In official quarters here the most
favorable construction is placed on
Mr.. de Valera's telegram. The inn
preston voiced is that it has smoothed
the situation greatly, some going SO
far as to express the view that con-
ference before the end of next week
is still possible.
