DAHL EIRENN PRISONERS
 HAVE NOT BEEN LIBERATED

London Aug. 5- (By A. P.) None of the imprisoned members of the Dali Fire ann has as yet been liberated. but it is considered certain tue government will place nothing in the way of their re- lease and that they will be free to at tend the sittings of the Dali Eireann when that body convenes to discuss the peace proposals.
 Meetings of the Ulster cabinet and the Dail Eireann cabinet were held to- dal. So far as is known they were not directly connected with the hitherto un- successful efforts to bring about an agreement between the north and south preliminary to a tripartite conference. at London. The republican cabinet can fined itself to consideration of the Dali Eireann meeting while Lieutenant Col onel Spends, secretary to the Mister cabinet announced at the conclusion of its deliberations. that the question of peace had been touched upon only incidentally.
 Notwithstanding the lack of definite action immediatel connected with peace or even a hint of the imminencei of such action, confidence prevails in political circles in London that there is no like lihood of a breakdown in the negotia- tions.

ten days hence by the three federaA judges.
 Judge Robert-J J. Moves. another Com necticut company attorney. objected 10 the unfair competition of the jitneys. Attorney General Healy, in ehalf of the state, asserted that the people of the state. through the legislature. had de- cided that the jitney should go and the trolleys remain, as the two systems of transportation cannot operate side by side. He pointed out also that if the Connecticut company should he forcei out of business the state would be de- prived of revenue by default of tle co7i- pany's taxes
 When the hearing was endel Judge Thomas reserved decision.
 A few moments before the hearing was adjourned. Mir. Watrous said the point as the restraining order was issued upon the application of counsel for sixteen New Haven Jitneymen. and was intended to restrain New Haven officials only, it ought not to apply to the entire state, and therefore the section specifically re- straining all officers of the state. and of every municipality thereof" should be stricken out and the order be made ap- plicable to New Haven exclusively. Counsel for the Bridgeport jitneymer immediately made formal application for an order restraining Bridgeport officials from interfering with the operations of | jitneys in that city. in order to give them the same standing as the Kew Haven men at the hearing to be held Aug. Is.
 Judge Thomas made no comment or | the proposals.

executive governments have to do with ouslness and international lllance the better for their people, Viscount James Bryce said in his third public address before tne Institute of Politics at Wi
 Hams College tonight. He was discuss ing international trade and questioned the value of direct governmental aid to commercial interests.
 Speaking of the connection between finance an war Lord Bryce declared
 Money can exercise as much il legitimate influence in democracies as elsewhere. In some of them it can buy the press, perhaps also a section of leg islators. Where the standard of public virtue is hign, those who want to get something from government will seek not to bribe, but will, to use a current expression, try to get at the press while also seeking to induce influential constituents to put pressure on their members and members to put pressure on ministers, the object in view being rep resented as a public interest, whereas | it is really the interest of small group. When the standard is low, the group will approach the private secretaries of a minister or even a minister himself.
 That wars are made by fnanciers | is not generally true, but they have a great hand in negotiations and in. fixing the lines of policy, and they some times turn it in directions not favorable to trua national interests. Governments must of course consult fnanciers and may often not only profit by their ad- i vice but make use of them. A consor- | tion of banks such as has been set up for China may prevent-and I thinls does prevent-evils which would arise | if each national group intrigued for it's own interest. There are upright men valuable to a nation in high finance as in other professions. You know them in America and we know them in England l They have their spirit of action neces- 1 sary to the world. But whenever large :; transactions involving governments arise ! the danger signal for watchfulness should
 be raised"
 Of the charges that munitions makers
 are some times interested in creating il feeling between peoples Viscount Bryce had th's to say:
 Tt has been frequently said of late that in several countries the great firms which nlana facture munitions of war ] endeavor to influence military and naval
 expenditure and resorted to a secret
 alarmist propaganda or even tried tc
 stir up ill feeling between nations in or. | and legislatures to vote large sums fol such expenditure. This may have hap pened in countries which. it Is better not to name but no evidence sufficient to con. firm so odious a charge has to my knowl edge been produced. I do not believe
 that the thing ever happened in England
