PEACE DELEGATES

Invitation is Accepted,
Dublin Report Says.
Nv the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press
DUBLIN. September 1o..-The Irish
republican cabinet was in session late
tonight. 1t expected that J. c. Barton.
Sim Fein envoy. will leave for In
verness tomorrow night, certainly be-
fore Wednesdays meeting of the dali
eireann.
This is taken to indicate that the
dail eireann will accept Premier
Lloyd Georges invitation to con-
ference and that the meeting OF the
dali eireann has been summoned TO
indorse the plenipotentiaries.
Collins Pleads for Prisoaers.
Michael Collins. commander of the
Irish republican army, made an ad-
dress today at a Gaelic fete at Rath-
farnham on behalf of the fund for
the dependents of republican prisoners.
Richard Mulcahy, chief of staff. and
other republican leaders were on the
platform.
Mr. Collins said that 5000 Irish
men were now interned, 1900 serving
sentences and about 1000 against
whom no charges had been made pub
lie. Fifteen thousand persons de-
pending on the earnings OF these men
must be supported.
He charged ill treatment of the
prisoners. One man, he declared, nao
been brutually i'll treated at Bandon
of whom had met "a just fate" since.
Cheers greeted this statement
"At this time" said Mr.. Collins.
there is no excuse for keeping those
prisoners at all. Every one of us is
more guilty. because these men only
obeyed orders. and il it ia right that
we should be abroad, 1t is wrong
that they should be in Jail"
Wants Impartial Inquiry.
He urged the appointment Of an
impartial body from the English and
Irish governments to secure fair
treatment Of prisoners in accordance
with the status to which they were
entitled. He incidentally confirmed
the reported escape of some forty men
interned at Curragh. saying: This is
the first time prisoners have escaped
without cooperation from the outside
which would be a breach Of the truce y
He concluded with empasis: Irish
freedom is coming, not because of any
action of our enemies or for any hope
they hold out, but because of the
strength of our position; because OF
the men who have died for ireland
and because of the men who are still
prepared to die for Ireland and who
will not stop until Irish freedom Is
secured"

1t is reported that the secret or

Bavaria is now ready to join the sep

President Won Kahr and Crown Prince
Rupprecht. whose great popularity is

A Bavarian separatist movement,
with the possibility Of serious civil
war, has for some time been regarded
by certain of the allies, especially
France, as a favorable possibility.
French Party In Bavaria.
Since the armistice was signed
there has been "a French party in
Bavaria, composed mainly of Catho-
lies. desiring the dismemberment of
Germany. They have been leaders in
the agitation against Prussia and in
favor of union of Bavaria with
Wuerttemberg and Austria and pos
sibly Hungary. For some time France
has had special minister in Bavaria,
who still remains in Munich. How
ever, this general antagonism in
Prussia has now developed into more
particularly fight against democ-
racy and the German republic.
1t is regarded here as certain that
If Bavaria were to win out in con-
test at arms with Prussia the founda-
tion for the return of the Wittelsbach
dynasty would have been laid. The
Prussian reactionaries. such as Gen.
Ludendorf. are reported to be ready to
support such a separatist movement
through pure hate Of the liberals.
