posit slips show he has $500,000 in
Polish banks alone. A deposit of
$1,000 was found in a Milwaukee

Meeting of Irish
Parliament Is
Called for Aug, l6
Irish Situation Takes Sensa-
tional Turn When De Va.
lera Decides to Call Dali
Ereann for Meeting.

London, Aug. 4.--The Irish situa-
ton took a sensational turn today
when it was announced in Dublin
that Eamon De Valera and his as
sociates had decided to summon a
full meeting of the Irish Republican
Parliament to consider the British
governments Irish peace proposals.
The Dali Ereann will convene
Tuesday, August 10, the Irish Bull
letin, the official republican organ,
announced tonight
1t has been reported in Dublin that
the Dali Ereann would not be sum-
moned until listers attitude had
been learned, but coincident with the
calling of a meeting of this body
come conflicting reports from Dublin
and Belfast concerning listers po-
sition.
In Dublin it is reported that Ulster
has been sounded and has returned
an answer unfavorable to the Sim
Fein overtureS.
Cabinet Discusses Plan.
A dispatch to the Evening News
from Belfast today asserts that the
Ulster cabinet at this mornings
meeting discussed an invitation
from the Dali Ereann to Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, asking him
to attend a conference in Dublin
with view to determining listers
attitude. 1t adds that there is no
possibility, however, of another meet,
ing between Sir James and Mr.. De
Valera in Dublin, although the Ulster
premier is willing to meet the re-
publican leader with Premier Lloyd
George in London.
Out of various conflicting reports,
however, arises the outstanding fact
that the Republican Parliament is to
meet, which is taken to mean un-
doubtedly that Mr.. De Valera will
give reply to Mr.. Lloyd George in
the immediate future.
~ Will Release Prisoners.
The call for the meeting of the
Parliament, with all members pres
ent, involves the release from prison
of rs members of this body, and it
has been declared the government is
willing to facilitate their attendance.
The belief had been expressed
among the Irish leaders that there
was no use in summoning the Par
Lament Until the attitude of Ulster
had been finally defined.
The inference in political circles
here, therefore, is that the answer of
Ulster has been received. ~ "
London Uninfofmed. s'@ +,
Official quarters in London know
of no communications having been
passed between De Valera and the |
northern cabinet, but it was under
stood from another source that
Premier Lloyd George, after con-
ferring with Sir James in London
this week, sent a message to Mr..
De Valera which might account for
the calling of the Dali. /
The British cabinet already had
reached decision regarding the re-
lease of members OF the Dali inn
prisoned or in detention camps, and
it is understood that Dublin castle
is free to release them as it thinks
fit. Members who have been on
the run are understood to have re-
turned to their homes in order that
they may receive their summons.

Evidently the Postmasters held a
successful convention and left us
with high appreciation for the
courtesies extended to them. The en-.
tertainmGnt so impressed one Of their

that he became poetical and wrote a
six verse poem which was produced
by the "Postmasters' Advocate" and
is as follows:

How it sets your soul to wondering Of

WAYS OF A FAMOUS STREET
The Boulevard Des ItaIiennes In Paris
From the Morning Until
Evening.

At seven in the morning, not a
footstep sounds on the flags, not a
carriage rolls over the street. The
boulevard awakens about half-past
eight, with the noise of some cabs,
beneath the heavy tread of some
porters with their loads, to the cries
of some workmen in blouses going
to their shops. Not single venetian
blind moves; the stores are as tight
shut up as oysters. This is sight,
unknown to many Parisians, who
believe the boulevard is always in
full dress, just as they believe, with
their favorite critic, that Holsters are
always red. At nine, the boulevard
washes it's feet all along the line, the
shops open their eyes and display in
side a frightful disorder. Some
minutes afterwards, 1t is as busy as
grisette, and some second-class
intriguers mark it's footwalks. About
IL there are cabs hurrying
carrying the whole early business
world of Paris. The boulevard Is
hungry towards noon, 1t has break
fast; the stock exchange men arrive.
Then, from two to five o'clock, its
life attaifs its apogee, and gives it's
great performance gratis.-Balzac,
