 The Dublin, Aug. 15.-(By The A. | P.)-The people of Ireland, who have enjoyed month of peace, found it l hard to-day to believe that negotia- 1 lions between Eamon DeValera and Prime Minister Lloyd George were at the breaking point. They were plac- l ing their hopes in the Irish Repub- morrow to consider the whole cores | pondence and frame a, reply to the | prime minister's latest letter. l Suggestion has been made that the l D3i1 EIira3nn DrODOSe DnlS- | sion of the question to a plebiscite, but this proposal may not come from those wishing to prolong the truce 1 as long as possible.

 "It would be tragic if they were, the newspaper says and it IS strong | ly to be hoped there will be a satisfac- tory settlement, thereby averting the possibility of intensified warfare, which. if 1t occurred. would open an now be said or done to make more difficult the task of those who have the destiny of Ireland in their hands l The Freeman's Journal said the of- | ffciaI publication of the letter from General SmuFts to MT.

 'Pubncation of the contents of that letter, the newspaper added, was acceptance by the government of General Shuts interpretation of the governments offer. Otherwise, it's publication would be an act of de- | ception. The letter, therefore, is no longer a letter of private advice, but a document of binding consequence" | '"The Dail Eireann tomorrow will have a unique opportunity of healing Ireland's many wounds and of as- surfing for the Irish people a great and glorious future. We hope and pray they will follow General Shuts safe advice

 A meeting of the Ulster cabinet | has been called, although Ulster is only indirectly interested. Sir James Craig, the premier, is grouse shooting | in Scotland.
 Commenting on the new develop ments, the UnioDist Belfast Tele- | graph says:
 'sWhat a tragedy for Irish Nation alism that there is not today in it's ranks one man of the quality. char acter, bigness and statesmanship to stand forth upon the stage and rally round him all the thousands who are | grooming for such a peace as is now 1 offered and are turning weeping eyes and longing hearts everywhere for | of the Gethsemane which the gun men have made of Ireland,
 England has been magnanimous to the point of folly. and Ireland in sane to the point of crimina1ity. For 1 Ireland, seperation would be suicide"
