London. Aug. 2i.-England has
reached the limit Of concessions and
almost the limit OF endurance In the
matter of negotiations with Ireland
over peace. Also. the Irish truce,
which stopped hostilities pending

The contents OF the premiers note
came as surprise to the Sim

arguments on the claims OF Ireland
they had raised, instead OF repe-
tition of the essential conditions OF
the British government made known
to DeValera at the conference In

premier as a challenge.
There is reason to believe that the
people do not desire resumption OF

plainly hints as possibility in case
there is delay in ending the contro-
versy.

was that the exchange between De
