possible to obtain satisfactory settle
ment Of outstanding military and pro-
tective problems.
Some comment has been made regard
ing the fact that the number OF French
infantry divisions have been Increased
TO fifty-seven, but this Is explained by
the reduction in the number of bat
lalions in a division, with a simultaneous
reduction in the cavalry to 30 per cent.
OF the pre-war allotment.
Not the least interesting feature or
Frances military establishment Is the
fact that native troops from the col

13 per cent. of the effectives, now con-

that next year. IL present plans are

According to the French thesis, the

also testifies to lack of belligerent ten

paid to sailors have been doubled.
In other words. French delegates to
the Washington conference for the linn

the French navy has already shown an
example TO the rest OF the world, even
on the much contested budget principle.

tenth of the total budget in 1918 to one
twentieth in 1921. and even less for
the coming year, despite unsettled con-
ditions in European. as we'll as in world,
affairs.
In connection with Frances naval
strength, IL is we'll to remember that
the Ave dreadnoughts which were under
construction when the world war started
and work on which was interrupted. are
now to be dismantled. four OF them
probably, to be scrapped and the ma

which has been approved by tho Cham

ate, provides for the construction of six
light cruisers OF about 5000 tons each.

1.2o0 and 800 tons each, and theiry- ak
submarines.
With such proof of Frances good
faith. the French elegation-whoever
may head twill go to Washington

idea that Frances present strength is
based on aggressive desires. and that
the Washington conference will give

DALI EIREANN REPLY

proposals, as approved to-day in Dublin.

the end OF the week. 1t was not. as re-
ported In some quarters. delivered yes
terday TO Premier Lloyd George The
mission of Harry Boland and Joseph
McGrath was simply to clear up certain
questions with the Premier before the
| delivery of the formal reply.
Nothing has leaked as to whether the
reply Is acceptance or non acceptance OF
the invitation to conference. but the
fact that five Irish nenipotentiaries
have been appointed is taken as indi-
eating confidence in continuance of tho
negotiations. Mr.. Lloyd George Is eN-
pected to remain in Scotland for at least
| ano ther three weeks. The plenipoten-
tiaries have been appointed by the Dali.
"in view of possible conference says

DUBLIN. Sept. 14.-Despite the alarm
list reports from Gairloch last night.
Dublin's confidence in coming peace Is
confirmed after secret session Of the
Dali Eireann to-day. with the announce
ment of the names of plenipotentiaries
to possible conference"
In Arthur Griffith. Foreign Minister
Michael Collins. Finance Minister; Rob-
ert c. Barton, canon J. Duggan and
George Gavan Duffy. Dublin sees the
real big five" of the Sim Fein. That
confidence is unshaken, even by the
scurrying OF auxiliaries. soldiers and po-
lice through Dublin and the neighbor-
hood to-day. and the rumor that the
Irish Republican army has been ordered
to stand by for duty shortly.
One important point cleared up to-day
was that Mr.. Lloyd George did not
actually see Mr.. De Valera's answer
while the Irish envoys were at Gair-
loch yesterday. The meeting as now
described was merely an informal ex-
whether the ENJOYS communicated with
the c 5binet here. but whether they did
or not. the Dali Eireann to-day unani-
mously approved the draft of Mr. Dc
Valeras reply, which was submitted T.
them by the Cabinet.
That was taken to mean the Cabinet
was confident that any phrases OF
clauses in the reply which might prove
Objectionable to Mr.. Lloyd George will
not be Objectionable to the point of his
calling of the invitation to the con-
ference. 1t was stated tonight that If
when the ENJOYS return they bring a
message from Mr.. Lloyd George which
might make a change in the language
advisable, that will still be possible.
The fact that neither Mr.. de Valera
nor ErslSine Childers, representing the
purist group. are among the delegates
is considered promising as far as the
success of the negotiations is concerned
All of tie other five are recognized as
distinctly practical men. Collins and
Dugan are among the fighters for Irish
independence who have been at 1t ever
since 1916. when Dugan commanded the
Republican forces and gained possession
Of Four Courts and was praised by the
English officers for his skill and gallant
behavior toward prisoners.

Queensland and he lived most of his life

1t Is recognized that the plan to have
Mr.. de Valera and Childers remain in
Dublin may cause some obstacles, but
they will not be obstacles toward the
conclusion OF the draft of an agree
