Tive Sessions Behind Closed
Doors Held Yesterday
By Delegates
PEACE OUTLOOK GOOD
British Premier and Leaders of Sim
Fein Strive For Successful
Meeting.

London, Oct. l2.-Ireland and Great
nrtain faced each other today across
a conference table in the famous
Cabinet room at 10 Downing street.
and the most that can be said is
that the prospects for permanent
peace are brighter tonight than they
we're this morning.
Two sessions were held today, one
If two hours this morning and one
ii an hour and half this afternoon
At the close of the afternoon meeting
;:,e conference adjourned until Thurs
day morning.
ireland was represented by Arthur
Griffith, Michael Collins, George Ga
VAN Duffy, Eamonn Duggan and
Robert Barton, and Great Britain BY
Prime Minister Lloyd George, VIM
ston Churchill, Lord Birlenhead, Sir
Hamar Greenwood, and Sir Worth
jngton Evans. j. Austen Chamber
lain. who is member OF the British
delegation. was absent on account Of
Illness.
The Irish delegation arrived at
Downing street at II a. n1., IN t"o
hi~h price cars. contrasting with the
British Ministers, VINO drove up IN
taxis. The arrival of the delegations
from Erin was greeted with cheers
hr a crowd Of Irish at the entranc" IT,
.hc street, although it was not so
large as when Eamonn de Valera
came for a conference with .dr.
!lovd George. There was some or
ranized singing Of Irish songs.
One fact that emerged from The
first meetings is that Griffith ard
Collins. the two men who count on
the Irish side, appeared to be arX-
ious to make the conference Sue
cess and the Prime Minister vas
much impressed, not only by Col,
lins' genial good humor. but his real
ability and grasp Of MS subject.
The two delegates faced each other
across a table. There was no chair
man, but Mr.. Lloyd George made a
lilt!e opening speech of welcome 70
which Mr.. Griffith replied. There
vas some discussion about the
arenda and certain breaches of the
rrucs in ireland were mentioned by
both sides. The leaders of each s!Gc
Gisclaimcd any desire to protect IN"
guilty and it was arranged that 4
conference be held tomorrow be-
tween the officials to find methods
Tor getting g better observance OF
lie truce.
The officials who have had much
tn do with bringing about he confer
c!ce were distinctly happier owe"
the prospects last night.
Throughout the meetings the two
provocative words were not used---
..sovereignty," by the British and
independence" by the Irish. An in
Interesting suggestion was made to-
,lav that the break up of the confer.
rrce on these rocks may be avoided
BIZ confining the discussion to the
future relations Of Ireland and Gr2a:
Britain and leaving the definition OF
tch present relationship to the last.
Thus Ireland might consent to en-
trr the British commonwealth of ma
ions and. having done so, Greac
pritain might allow it TO sign q
treaty as an independent nation.
Another rock is the extreme sps-
r 'cion of the Irish and the fear that
thev will be outmaneuvered By Lloyd
George. The Premier recognizes
this, and he is ready 70 exercise the
Utmost patience and ell OF his arts
"a win their confidence.

T. Menoher while the latter was Chief
of the Air Service, tells this joke on
himself:
During the World War at some
civilian celebration was greeted
very ctfusively by a dapper young
tailor, who said:
major Frank, am clad to see you
again. I'll bet you don't know me /

After acknowledging the greetings,
Major Frank turned to several of his

his new found friend as "Major
