ing to statements in responsible quar-
ters today. and the Dali Eircann dele
gates are expected 20 return finally to
Ireland tomorrow or Wednesday.
On the governments side. il was in

refusal ot the Sim F'ein 20 accept al
legiance 20 the king made an agree
ment impossible. since that condition
was insisted on by the British and was
in addition. an essential preliminary
TO securing any assent from Ulster.
The truce still remains in effect, and

days after King Georges appeal for

and Sir James Craig. the Ulster Pre-
mier to confer with him in London.
De Valera accepted the invitation on

agreed to, taking effect July H.

cd were set free TO enable them 10
vote on the proposals for a settlement
Of the long conflict. Others who were
in hiding We're offered immunity from
arrest or prosecution so that they also
could attend the meeting of the Dali.
The Irish Republican leader. how
ever, expressed an unwillingness to
attend parley until he first had OBJ
tanned the views of Craig and other
Irish minority spokesmen, meanwhile
declaring he could see no avenue for
peace while Irish unity sand self-de-
termination were denied. Craig de-
clined to attend the Dublin conference.

FIRST SNOW OF WINTER
IS SEVEN INCHES DEEP
Showed All Yesterday After
noon. Loading Trees and
Wires: No Damage Done.

Inc nrst Snowstorm of the season
and the heaviest for two or three
years today covers the ground in all
this section 10 the depth of seven and
eight inches. The area of the storm
seems 70 have included almos> all tho
country IN the east. larger part Of
the country this side of the Missis-
sippi. In this immediate section II
has blanketed Delaware and the pen
insula and indeed all Of MARYLAND. in
the mountainous portion of which the
snowfall measured f2 and "a inches.
In this city the storm sat in quietly
about II o'clock yesterday morning
ana when the churches dismissed their
congregations at noon there were all
ready two inches Of snow. and the fall
continued from that time until early
IN the evening. Ii was very wet and
heavy and clung tenaciously TO the
trees and electric wires and gave the
suggestion Of what people have come
to regard Christmas should he. In
many yards and in some of the marks
some OF the trees and shrubbery was
broken and light phone and telegraph
wires were snapped asunder. but no
serious damage resulted in conse-
quence
The Traction Co. kept its sweep
ers active all yesterday and there was
no tie up of cars because of the storm.
A snowfall of seven inches is un-
usual in this section. especially at this
early stage of the winter, and while
many declare it presages a hard win
ter. IL perhaps has no influence on the
climatic conditions further in advance
than - hours.
Children are having a fine time
coasting on the hills about the city.
II Is said that there is no immedi-
ate danger Of a scarcity of coal as
al the local dealers are well stocked
at this time.
County Engineer Grubb says the
snow did not cause any trouble on
