The duties Of these men consist
mainly of driving and taking care
OF the patrol. arresting speed vio-
lators, minute men. mechanical
workers, helping TO conduct various
raids and whatever other emergen-
cies arise during the "a hours.
At best. these men have several
hours time to kill" daily, and thu
chairs used TO get a pretty good
workout. But what are the officers
going TO do in the interim? Chief
Kline Gays they must at least stand
up while on the job.
One officer ventured the sug-
gestion that the chief order them TO
patrol a beat around the city hal
when they are not actually engaged
in their regular line OF duty.
At any rate the chiefs popular
ity," according to the officers, has
dwindled to several noughts Below
zero by his latest "maneuver."

NEGOTIATIONS
ARE CEASED In
IRISH FARLEY
Events Temporarily in Lull as
Ulster Leader Returns
10 Belfast.
GEN. SHUTS MAY ACT
MAY Proceed as Intermediary
Lloyd George to Meet De
Valera Tomorrow.
Bv Associated Press:

By Associated Press:
LONDON, July 19.-Events which
apparently had been proceeding
smoothly and with fair rapidly
toward a common ground upon
which the British government, the
Irish republicans and the Obstetrics
could find a basis for a settlement
of the troubles in Ireland, have fall
len into a luIl, and, for the moment
the negotiations both official and
private, have ceased.
With Sir James Craig. the Ulster
premier, again in Belfast, having
before his departure from London
delivered a pronouncement which
seemed at the time TO spell the end
of the discussion between the
three parties, the English people
are trying TO figure out what will
eventually happen with respect to
Ulster and more particularly 10 the
whole Of Ireland. at the next confer
ence between Mr.. Lloyd-George and
Mr.. De Valera. which is set for
Thursday.
SHUTS May Act.
Meanwhile Gen. Jan Christian
SHUTS, the South African premier,
may proceed to Belfast as interme-
diary, and the fact that the Ulster
leader has declared that his serv-
ices and those of the officials under
him ARE available at any moment,
leads TO a hopeful view that the final
word Of the Obstetrics has not yet
been spoken.
Notwithstanding the attitude Of u
ster as expressed by Premier Craig,
the spokesman of the republican
delegates Tuesday declared that they
were still not unhopeful," while an
other Sim Fein representative said:
1t is not a question Of Belfast
being subserviant to Dublin, or vice
versa, but that both must be subserv-
lent to Ireland"
The king, deeply concerned in the
outcome of the Irish discussions,
was visited Tuesday by the marquis
of Londonderry. Ulster minister OF
education, who. IT is understood,
gave the king details of the CONVEX
sations the marquis had with Pre-
mier yd-George Monday. The
/ continued presence Of one Of the
! Ulster cabinet in London is consid-
/ cred significant and OF good augury
Mr. Lloyd-George is believed to
| have certain propositions TO present
\ 10 Mr.. De Valera at Thursday 5
meeting. which have been approved
/ by the British cabinet. The repub-
lican leader and his colleagues will
I probably return to Dublin on Fri
/ day or Saturday in order 10 review
/ the events of their visit to London
and take under Amusement whatever
proposals the British government
/ has offered.

London.-The morning newspapers
Wednesday gave much space to the
delay in inviting General Pershing to
London to lay the American congress
sional medal on the tomb of the I'M
known soldier in Westminster abbey,
and the official explanation given OF
the delay. Satisfaction is generally
expressed by the newspapers that the
American government. as reported In
cable dispatches, minimlzed the af
fair.
There is some sharp editorial criti
cism, however, of the British depart.
ment concerned. The Times SAYS
Great Britain has been very badly
served by its officials, whose bureau
cratic muddling and evasion of re.
sponsibility are responsible for the
trouble"
