preside at a meeting of the pri,s
council and sign a proclamation call
ing a special session of parliament for

momentous agreement for the estab-
lishment of the Irish free state
Should the agreement be approved, Of
which little doubt is entertained, the
session will last only. few days and
the parliament will adjourn until the
regular session in February when a
bill embodying the agreement will be
dealt with.
To Appear i'm Person
The king is expected to open the
special session in person in which case
the ceremony will assume the dignity
and magnificence of regular opening
OF parliament. The kings speech will
deal entirely with the Irish question
and the debate will likewise be limited
to Irish affairs.
Still Hard at Work
Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins and
the other representatives of the Dali
Eireann still in London will leave for
Dublin tonight. as..-.
While the chief figures of the con-
ference are receiving their share of
the praise for the achievement the
men who worked out the details of
the agreement and are credited with
largely influencing its success, are
still hard at work in Dublin castle, in
Downing street and at the Irish Office.
or these men A. w. Cope, a former
custom house officer in London and
now under secretary of the Irish Office
is receiving wide popular recognition
as among those who did much to
bring about the conference and con-
tributed notably to its happy outcome.

Craig is Silent


Belfast, Dec. 7s-(By the Associated
Press) Craig told Ulster
parliament today he did not think it
eXpedient to make any statement with
regard to the details of the new Irish
proposals as there were antiquities
here and there in the document.
Release of Prisoners.
One important phase of the Irish
situation was not mentioned in the
peace terms namely the release of
political prisoners of whom there are
some 5000 still imprisoned. 1t was
understood today that this matter was
left to be adjusted after ratification of
the terms by the British and Irish
parliaments.
While no official statement was
forthcoming the belief was expressed
in political circles that amnesty
would be declared as a matter of
course. Whether those actually con-
victed of arson and other crimes
would be included in the amnesty was
said to be open to speculation.
