IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 IS DECIDED UPON

Dublin. August 7.-All the Sim Fein members of the Irish republican Parliament now in prison will have been released by tomorrow, except John J. McKeown, who is under con viction for having murdered District Inspector McGrath.
 Though the opening of the Par lament is some time off, the imme- diate release of the prisoners has been decided on as necessary to af- ford them opportunity to confer with their colleagues.
 The general impression existing, according to the newspapers, is to the effect that the governments ac- tion in freeing the prisoners has been marred by making an exception in the case of McKeown. The murder for which he was convicted was the shooting of District Inspector Mo- Grath during a fight in which the inspector tried to shoot him, Mo Reown also was the oraganizer of several ambuscades in County Long ford. in which members of the Grown forces were blown up by mines. At his trial several British officers tes- that they had received good treat ment while held captive by him. The sentence of death has not re- ,ceived the confirmation of the com mander- in chief as yet.
 Mex eown was the commandant of the Irish republican army in his dis trict and his acts were indorsed by his chiefs. Hence his detention in prison while others are permitted their freedom is regarded by the newspapers as indefensible. All the men are to be releasd uncondition- ally. No paroles have been asked for or given.

3 STIPULATION OF TRUCE IN IRELAND
 NOW THREATENED
Refusal of Government to Re- lease Sim Fein Parliament Member Convicted of
 Murder Brings Crisis
By Associated Press

Dublin, August 7.--Repudiation of the truce between England and Ire land is considered a possibility should the British government per- sist in its refusal to liberate John J. McKeown, members of the Irish republican Parliament. who Is under conviction of murder. Responsible Sim Fein leaders identify them selves with McKeown's act as part of the war and consider refusal to re- lease him as indicating want of good faith on the part of the gov ernment.
 General Sir Neviel MacReady, in command of the British forces in Ire. land. recently had a conference with Premier Lloyd George and responsi- bility for the present situation in connection with McKeown's i'm. prisonment is considered by the Sim Feiners to rest on him. Strong ef- forts are being made tonight by in fluential persons not connected with the Sim Feln, who fear consequences injurious to peace. to secure a rever- sal of the governments decision. It is reported that special courier has been sent to see the premier.
