George seems clearly to have under.
stood the danger of continued war

lief that -the end Of this secular trou-
bic, ruinous to Ireland and humiliating
to this country, is within measurable
distance"
Warning was gwen by the Daily
Herald, organ Of labor that . truce
Ess not q peace. and that il would be
folly 10 rejoice premsturely. The

tponsibility rested upon British states
