CONSERVATION IN DUBLIN.
But Belief Is Expressed Negotia-
tions Will Yet Succeed.

By the Associated PreaS.
DUBLIN, September 16.-Although
the popular newspapers today de-
scribe the letter of Premier Lloyd
George canceling arrangements for
the Inverness conference as bomb
shell which spread CONSERVATION.
there seems no disposition on the part
of the public in general to consider
the Irish peace negotiations at an
end, the prime ministers reference to
Inevitable delay giving rise to
hope.
The prevailing indications here are
that the desire is to avoid a breach.
that a diligent search IS In progress
for formula which will enable the
out the sacrifice OF principles on the
part of either side. and that 1t Is pos.
sible to phrase such statement OF
principles in a way to avoid a oreach.
The mex. ssrs move w5sS hG~exnr Mr. hloyd i1 ,a
George and further communication
with him after the British cabinet
meeting 10 awaited.
Not Concerned Over Election.
Leaders of the dali eireann ex-
pressed no concern over the prospect
of a general election. taking the view
that there was no probability OF any
party attempting to fight the Sinn
Fein on compromise lines, and that II
one did so the Sinn Fein would score
another triumph, the result being that
a renewal Of the Sinn Fein republican
mandate would be registered by the
returns.
AS to the truce, there is considered
TO be no immediate probability of it's
rupture.
Premier Lloyd George is blamed by
the Freeman's Journal for the can
collation. of the proposed Inverness
conference.
Lloyd George Scored.
"Mr. Lloyd George" the newspaper
declares. made an extravagant mis-
construction in cancelfng the confer
ence on the ground that to confer on
the terms of Mr.. De valera's note
would be to recognize ireland as an
independent republic. free to dfsso-
ciate herself from the empire. 1t
should be remembered that Ireland.
many years ago. was q sovereign
state within the empire. and reclaim
ing that sovereignty does not neces-
sarily imply dissertation and sever
ence.
The British and Irish peoples will
refuse to accept this as the end of
efforts toward peace. Letter writing
has continued too long. The negoti-
ators long ago, should have met at
the conference table and got busy
framing the peace terms. instead of
discussing theoretical objections to
such a meeting. It is not yet too
late for the adoption Of such a
course"
SIR JAMES cRAIa's VIEWS

scrapped, but means of chemical war
fare can be developed by any nation,
however small. That's why before
the Washington conference is over 1t
may be found necessary to consult
the other nations of the world. They
will want to have a voice in any
agreement that is reached.
1t took several months for the ia
nous conference Of 1909 at London
to draw up rules of warfare. The
Hague conference of 1907 had not
suf!iciently clarified the rules OF war.
But both the declaration of London
and The Hague convention of 1907
went by the boards when the Euro
pean war began in 1914. largely be-
cause the 1909 rules had not been
unanimously adopted.
Control of Agencies.
Whether or not Limitation of new
armament is agreed upon at the
Washington conference. the control
of old agencies of warfare is bound
to develop more and more Importance
as the military and naval experts of
all powers get together here The
opinions of the American military eX-
perts that poison gas shall not be
abolished are significant 1t means

wish the use of the torpedo by sub
marines to be held illegal except, of
course. as against ships carrying
non combatants.
The right to torpedo naval vessels
without warning, however. is a moot
point. Some contend that an oppor-
tunity to surrender should be given.
Others argue that in a naval battle
no such chance is given when a ves-
sci is fatally hit. During the war our
naval authorities were careful not to
commit themselves against the use
of the submarine. They are not yet
ready to give up that new means of
warfare.
Germany may have been denounced
for introducing the new agencies of
war. but military and naval opinion
here indicates that the new agencies
have come to stay and that America
at least will take the lead in urging
that the wars of the future be fought
more humanely in the sense that nom
combatants shall not be attacked as
the German army and navy insisted
upon doing throughout the war on
land, sea and air.
