London. June 2s.-Close advisers
of Premier Lloyd George today were
informally notified by Dublin Sim
Fein leaders that Dali Eireann (Sinn
Fein parliament) probably will de-
eide that a referendum is necessary
before Eamonn de Valera accepts
Premier Lloyd Georges invitation to
go to London for an Irish peace con-
ference.
1t is said that a referendum might
be necessary because the Sim Fein
officials believe they must be relieved
of their oath to the Irish republic be-
fore entering negotiations with Eng
land. This oath, which was admin
istered. on June 13, pledges all Sim
Feiners to allegiance to the Irish re-
public and to have no dealings what
soever with enemy countries"
Consult Cabinet in Cell.
De Valera continues to hold CONSUL
tations with other Republican officials
and 1t is understood he visited Mount
JOY prison Monday and talked with
Arthur Griffith, president of the Sim
Fein. Dublin dispatches say that de
Valera refuses to talk for publication
and that he will have nothing to say
until his reply is sent to London later
in the week.
The reply is expected in this city
either tomorrow or Thursday 1t may
be non-committal, but in that event
probably will promise a second reply
later on. 1t is confidently believed
that the Sim Fein ultimately wifi ac-
cept the premier's invitation aud athae

Irish Envoy In London.
Mrs. F. Sheehy Skeffington, widow
of an Irish leader who was executed
following the Easter Monday riots in
1915, has played a prominent part in
bringing about recent DEVELOPMENTS
relative to peace in Ireland. it is said
IN statements printed in the Graphic
and Sketch. Mrs. Skeffington is now
in London, and the two newspapers
say she is unofficially ambassador of
Eamon de Valera and has acted as an
intermediary between him and Prime
Minister Lloyd George.
Interviewed by the Sketch which
asked whether n definite proposal
from the British government would be
an accessory preliminary to the pro-
posed meeting of Mr.. de Valera and
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster.
Mrs. Skeffington said:
mo, think there will have to be a
meeting first. Probably it will be
necessary to ask the government to
arrange for such a meeting. Most of
the cabinet of the Irish republic are
in jail, and arrangements must be
made for them to- attend the meeting"
1t has been impossible hitherto to
obtain from Dublin definite news as
to the prospects of the acceptance of
the prime minister's invitation to the
Irish leaders to meet under govern
ment auspices. This has been due to

side a parked car three miles out of

was an empty packing case and it
was piled high with the familiar red
in years gone by before the so-called
Safe and Sane propagandists won
their victory. In order that there be
no mistake in the minds of passers-
by, the youthful ''bootlegger' had

No mention was made of prices at
which he held his ware, but that they
were dispensed at the regular boot

ing. That his customers were not all of

demonstrated mile further down the
