Irish Peace Negotiations Are
Expected to Proceed
Again Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 22-wfth Prime
Minister Lloyd George week-ending AZ

Michael Collins, head of the Irish
delegation in London. gone to Dublin.
no important developments in the Irish
negotiations are expected until the
conference Is resumed on Monday
afternoon.
That an acute crisis has been
reached was admitted by both sides
today, but the general opinion tonight
was that the resentment expressed by
the British representatives toward
Eamonn De Valera's message to the
Pope would be smoothed over and
that the negotiations would proceed.
Some afternoon papers today as
serted that Mr.. De Ealera's messag.'
was approved. or authorized by the
Sim Fein delegates. but Independent
inquiries in Sim Fein circles elicit
ed no such expression. none of the
delegates being willing to voice 81
opinion.

II was stated tonight that although
considerable progress was made In
the preliminary discussions regard
ing the truce, the army, navy and
finance, the recognized stumbling

the conference resumes on Monday
Mr.. Lloyd George will Immediately
bring up again the subject of De
Valera's message and open up the
question Of the position of Sinn Fein
regarding allegiance to the crown.
Such q move, il taken, would, it
was pointed out on the British side.
put the Sinn Fein delegates in the
extremely difficult position of either
repudiating Mr.. de Valera-which, of
course, is not expected-Or of finding
n formula for defining definitely Sim
Fein's attitude toward the British
crown. which 1t is recognized will be
equally difficult.
Hope to Solve Dilemma.
Nevertheless. hope was expressed
today of finding way out OF tho
dilemma, and this hope appears even
stronger tonight. The Sim Fein
delegates say IT is sixty to forty
that the conference will be con-
tinued.
When Michael Collins left for Dub
lin he took with him, according to
the Standard. "an important docu-
ment, presumably for submission to

PASTORS TO ASK FUNDS
BE GIVEN PRISONERS AID
Plea to Be Made Today for SIC, 900
to Help Incar-
cerated

Ministers OF every Episcopal church
in the District will today make an
appeal to their congregations to aid
in putting over the campaign for
$4,000 by the Prisoners Aid Associa-
ton of Trinity Community House at
Sd and c streets northwest, which
will be instituted tomorrow.
Many contributions have already
been received by the treasurer of the
fund. and several Of them have come
from men who are at the present
time serving sentences in the sew
eral District penal institutions.
One man, writing from the District
Jail, inclosed 81 in his letter and eX-
pressed the hope that the campaign
will far exceed the anticipation of
the directors of the drive.
Raymond Wolven. court and Jail
worker of the association, yesterday
men who have but recently finished
serving sentences at Lorton. have
been clothed and cared for at Trinity
and found positions with local busi-
ness men. The actual visiting done
by staff workers of the association
is probably the smallest part Of the
work, as list is kept of all men
and women incarcerated. and as soon
as the prisoner is at liberty the fol-
low-up work starts, and the unfortu-
nate is helped to keep on his feet
until some honest employment Is
found for him.
During the past year many young
men between seventeen and twenty
two years old. who have fallen into
the hands of authorities on divers
charges, have been aided by the as
sociation and in many instances have
been sent back to their homes.
Bishop Harding, president of the
association, points out that not only
the individual benefits from the work
Of the association, but that the COM
munity at large is aided in the fact
that many potential criminals are
set on the paths of honesty and kept
there by the efforts Of the associa-
tion workers.
