on Both Sides.

London, oct. ian agreement for
more rigid enforcement Of the Irish
armistice was reached today by the
Sim Fein delegation to the Irish peace
conference and a military committee
representing the British government.
The Sim Feiners promised to cease
drilling republican soldiers and the
government agreed to compel the

cative measures.
Sir Nevil MacReady charged the
Sim Feiners with openly drilling
troops and Michael Collins. the COM

can armies, retorted that the British
government has not kept single one
of the truce terms"
The Irish office has been greatly
disturbed over reports of Irish disor-
ders and breaches of the truce, espe-
cially in Cork county. When Collins
was told of the anxiety on the part of
the British officials. he expressed the
opinion that the crown forces in Ire

both sides are entirely satisfied with
the progress made. The two delega-
tions conferred among themselves %his
