IN MEXICO RELIEVED

The rumor factories of Mexico City

Fervently Hoped Conference
Will Lead to Full Restora-
tiOn of Peace.
TERMS OF THE TRUCE
ARE FULLY AGREED TO
De Valera Accepts Responsible
ty for Fulfillment on Part
of the Irish Army.
lRx the Associated Pressl

LONDON, July 9.-With something
like an immense sigh of relief the entire
country has greeted the news of the ces-
sation of warfare in Ireland and Eamonn
de Valera's coming conference with the
British prime minister at London, which
it is fervently hoped will lead to full
restoration of peace, the prospects of
which even the more cautious political
observers regard as brighter than for 4
long time.
The careful wording of de VaIera's ac-
ceptance of conference is interpreted
in some quarters here as based on the
necessity of the Irish republican leader
feeling his way with his own followers.
1t is thought, however. that truce de-
liberately embarked upon cannot well be
deliberately discarded, and that alone is
a consideration of great promise.
The terms of the truce. which begins
at noon Monday. We're agreed to at Brit
ish military headquarters in Dublin this
afternoon. The provisions of the truce
cover fully all the ground for a tempo
rary peace between the active Irish work
ers and the crown forces. All attacks,
searches and raids, surveillance and pro-
vocations are to be abandoned by both
sides.
MI. ue Nalera'S acceptance of the re-
sponsibility for fulfillment of the truce
by the Irish republican army is held to
dispel the idea in some quarters that the
active branch of the Sim Fein is beyond
control of the political chiefs Whether
that is so will be tested by the c6orsr
of events after the truce comes inlD Il.

for Ireland. will remain at the Irish Of

premier is remaining in London. it is
concluded that Premier Lloyd Georges

MEXICO CITY, Mex, July 9.-The
withdrawal of the United States cruis-
sers Sacramento and Cleveland from
Tampico has relieved situation which
officials here declare might have
proved embarrassing ny moment. The
presence of the American warships
with their quotas of marines, although
their mission was declared to be
friendly, was fraugl1t with real ele-
ments of danger which were quickly
prevented by the Mexican government
officials, who took all possible pre-
cautions to prevent trouble. There
was always the danger they pointed
out that some one, either unwiseIy
counselled or acting with misguided
patriotism might commit an overt act
which would necessitate the landing
of the marines.
1t is generally believed here that
fear of this danger prompted the
United States authorities to order the
withdrawal of the vessels.
