IRELAND INTENT UPON THE
ACTION OF DAHL EIREANN TODAY

Dublin, Dec. 13 (By the A. P.).-Great
interest and some anxiety prevails in
Dublin, in fact throughout the whole of
Ireland, tonight concerning tomorrow's
meeting of the Dali Eireann, which is to
decide whether there shall be peace with
Great Britain.
1t is considered possible that there may
be no direct vote in the parliament on the
question of acceptance or rejection of the
treaty arranged in London-thaC it may
be referred to a plebiscite of the people
to decide whether the agreement which
Arthur Griffith and the other Sim Fein
plenipotentiaries made with the British
government shall be accepted.
The question rests with the Dali Fire
ann, which was elected on republican
mandate, and while a majority of the
to be desirous of peace, there were few
tonight who would venture guess on
the final result. This povgoly will not be
| arrived at until Thursday evening.
There will be 120 members of the Dali
Eireann present at the session tomorrow
| in the Mansion House. Among these
will be Arthur Griffith, who will move
the adoption of the agreement reached in
| London, and who can safely count on
| forty votes in the affirmative. Eamonn
| De Valera, who is opposing his old COM
| behind him How the remaining forty
members will vote nobody but themselves
| knows
The women members generally have
been counted as being among the die
hards, but it is reported that some OF
| them who suffered most during the dis
| turbances have decided to forget the past
and vote with Mr. Griffith and his fol.
| lowers.
Even though Mr.. Griffith has been il
Ireland through all of the country's re
| cent troubles and is declared to be il
close touch with the Irish people it L
considered that he has hard battle tt
fight.
The bishops of all the Irish diocese
met today to discuss their attitude tow
ard the Anglo-Irish agreement. The
held two-hour session at noon, afte
which they issued a statement sayin
that they would await the action of tn
Dali Eireann before making a pro
nouncement. This evening they held
private meeting to decide what steps the
would take after the Dali Eireann ha
reached decision. One of the bishop
said that if a plebiscite is decided on tn
bishops would use all their infiuenc
among the people for acceptance of tn
agreement.

Of a minority group of Boston and

New Haven and Hartford Railroad, was
made today at a hearing held by Attor-
ney General Daugherty to consider the
relationship between the two roads as
affected by the federal court decree OF
October IT, 1914.

 Our suggestion that tho owner of the profile made it hot for people evidently led to the submitting of four guesses naming Frank H. Johnson of the City Coal and Wood company. We suppose that he does help make it hot, but you see MT. Mills sells heat ing apparatus So there you havo it. One person, whose namo we shall not mention, guessed that I. Simons posed for the silhouette, also working on the Make It Hot' theory under an entirely different guise.
 For ladies' night We present con- paratively easy silhouette to guess. It's owner is a familiar sight on the streets of New Britain and has been, in business hero g good many years. Remember, we are going to consider the guesses of the ladies only tonight, unless it so happens that none of them have it right when we shall award the prize of dollar to a man. Write out the name Of the person who you think the silhouette represents, put your name an address on the sheet of paper and hand it in to The Herald office. First correct inter- pretation gets one dollar.
