Takes Turn.

London, Aug. 4.-(By the AEBOciafs
ed Press.)-The Irish situation took =
sensational turn today when it was
announced in Dublin that Eamonnsds d
Valera and his associates had decided
to summon a full meeting Of the Irish
republican parliament to consider the
British governments Irish peace pro-
posals.
It has been repeatedly stated III
Dublin that the Dahl Eireann would
not be summoned until listers atti-
tude had been learned, but coincident
with the calling Of a meeting Of this
body come conflicting reports from.
Dublin and Belfast concerning listers
position. ~
In Dublin, it is reported that Ulster
has been sounded and has. returned
an answer unfavorable to the Sim
Fem overtnres, while in Belfast, after
an important meeting of the cabinet
1t was a~uthoritatively stated that the
Ulster MINISTRY had received no
communication from Mr.. De Valera
While these reports at first glance
seem irreconcilable, it is pointed out
hat possibly both may be correct
The fact that Ulster cabinet itself has
not received a communication, would
not, it is noted, preclude the posi-
bility of an informal discussion be.
tween the northern and southern
leaders.
No Preliminary Meeting.
A dispatch to the Evening News
from Belfast today asserts that the
Ulster cabinet at this mornings meet
ing discussed an invitation from the
Dali Eireann to Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier. asking him to attend
a conference in Dublin with a view to
determining listers attitude. It adds
that there is no possibility, however.
of another meeting between Sir James
and MI. De Valera in Dublin, al
though the Ulster premier is willing
to meet the republican leader with
Premier Lloyd George In London.
Out of these conflicting reportA,s
however, arises the outstanding fact
that the republican parliament is TO
meet. which is taken to mean I'M
doubtedly that Mr.. De Valera will
the immediate future.
Official quarters in London, know
of no communications having been.
passed between De Valera and tbs
northern cabinet, but 1t was UNDER
stood from another source that Pre-
mier Lloyd George, after comforting
with Sir James in London this week.
sent a message to Mr.. De Valera,
which might account for the calling
, of the dali Eireann.
The British cabinet already has
reached a decision regarding the re-
lease of members of the Dahl impris-
oned or in detention camps and it Is
understood that Dublin. castle Is free
to release them as it thinks fit. Mem
! bers who nave been on run are
understood to have returned to their
homes in order that they may re-
ceive their summons.
