England Amazed at
De VGEeTG'S Speech

LONDON, Aug. 16-British officials
in Downing street were amazed this
afternoon when informed Of the CON
tents of Eamonn De Valera's speech
before Dali Eireann in Dublin, reit-
Grating his demand fon an irish re-
public and announcing that the Sim
Fein could not negotiate further with
the British cabinet.
1t was learned that however provo
cative De Nalera's words might be
considered the British cabinet would
not reply to them in Commons or else
where pending a formal communlca-
tlon from Dali ElLeann.
De Valera's speech was interpreted
as an apparent rejection of the Eng
lish peace terms. Officials com
mented with amazement upon the
tenor Of the Sim Feih leaders ad-
dress.
1t was regarded as most significant
that English soldiers on leave at
Farnboro and Aldershot have been
ordered to rejoin their regiments i'm
mediately. The war office this eve
ming officially confirmed that all
troops on leave from Ireland are be
Ing recalled as a precautionary meas
ure. Otherwise, it was pointed out,
it would be impossible for the sol
dlers to return TO Ireland quickly
enough, should an emergency arise.

much argument The reader either
realizes that these results would fol-

there is no way of proving what viii

As to the past. take this opportunity
TO make a correction. In the printed

that John Bob" FOrestal who was shot
