DUBLIN. Aug. 20.-Deep currents are
running through Ireland over this
week end. although formal peace ne
gotiations are at standstill after the
adjournment of the British Parlia-
ment yesterday. The Dali Eireann. or
Irish Republican Parliament, is de-
voting itself to letting it's new men,

and test their parliamentary elo-
quence In routine departmental mat
ters.
Premier Lloyd Georges speech in
in political quarters here as anything
in the nature of a menace. Openings
for further negotiations are discerned

says "A complete breakdown in the
peace negotiations would be calam-
ity. With propriety, Mr.. Lloyd George
abstained from using any menacing
language. We regret that the Lord
Chancellor did not follow his ex-
ample
Reply Is Being Framed.
There are many evidences here that
the informal conferences and personal
discussions being held are going
long ways toward framing the Dali
Eireanns reply to the British Prime
Minister.
American opinion had chance to
manifest itself a few days ago in
deluge Of cables addressed TO the Man

The Irish Bulletin fairly snorts over
this subject, and its denunciation Of the
Lloyd George offer is anything but hope
full. But the Bulletin may be said 70

the irreconciable intellectuals in the
Sim Fein.
The tendency Is already manifest
among the more practical TO 90 further

British Commonwealth. However. there
are many real judicial difficulties in the
way of such plan, both IS regards its
bearing upon relations with the Empire
and as regards the present Dali Eireann's
Republican mandate from Irish constitu-
encies. But neither OF these have as yet
developed any insuperable difficulties.
and the work still goes on.
That II will be a long. drawn out
task was indicated in the belief about
the Mansion House to-day that public
session for the announcement OF the
Dali E.reann's answer to Mr.. Lloyd
George may not be reached before late
next week The budding orators in the
Dali Eireann are taking much time. but
are affording a useful smoke screen. be-
