Roth SIDES ARE
HOPING FOR NEW
PEACE EFFORT
Sim Fein Leaders Are Ap-
parently Taken Some
what Aback By Prompt
Action of Lloyd George
in Refusing to Meet
Their Delegates Under
Conditions

London, Sept l6 by the Associated
Press) Relation between England
and Ireland to-day stood as they did
before Eamon De Valera came to Lon
don on July Ia to discuss with Prime
Minister Lloyd George a possible basis
for ending the Irish controversy. The
Sim Fein leader yesterday made pub
lie his note to the prime minister al
frming his stand that Irish repub-
lican plenipotentiaries could enter a
conference only as delegates of an in
dependent power, and Mr. Lloyd
George quickly announced the cancel
lation of his invitation of Irish leaders
to a parley .at Inverness.
II was made plain by the prime min
lister that he could not meet the Sim
Fein delegation if the claim OF IRISH
independence and sovereignty were m
sisted upon but he did not close the
aaor to further exchanges with the re-
p,blicans. Mr.. Lloyd George is indis-
posed, and is confined to his room at
(,airlocn. Scotland, where he has been
spending vacation, and it Is expected
here that members of the British cab
met will confer with him before the
government takes further steps.
The British Parliament adjourned
on Aug. 30 until Oct. Is, but Premier
LLOYD George announced before the
adjournment that if the negotiations
with the Sim Fen broke down and
the position became hopeless, the
sneaker of the House of Commons
would he empowered, after consulta-
ton with the government, to summon
Parliament on AS hours notice.
There was no indication here to-day
that either the British government or
the Sinn Fein would denounce the
truce arranged two months ago, and
resume the guerilla warfare that cost
scores. of lives and destroyed property
valued high in the millions.
Just what the Sim Fein would do
was seemingly a difficult question to-
day. 1t was suggested that the Dan
Tireann might intend to GO to the
Irish people with the question and
seek to determine by plebiscite what
the desires of the people are.
1t was also considered possible that
new efforts would be made to approach
the Ulster government with a view to
reaching a working agreement, and
then approaching the British govern
ment once more.
The Belfast correspondent of the
Press association says the Irish News
of that city prints message from a
well-informed Dublin source to the et-
feet that the British government con
templates an early reassembly OF the
Irish parliament. This step would be
taken. it is said. with the view OF de-
claring general election so that a
new government might be formed
which would be invested with the
right to formulate domestic policies
and appoint delegates to the confer
enee on Limitation of ornaments TO be
held in Washington
elm this event. the correspondent
adds, "the masses of the Irish people
NAV get an opportunity of giving a
considerable verdict on issues most
yitally affecting their own country.

journal for the cancellation of the pro-
posed Inverness conference.
MIR. Lloyd George" the newspaper
declares, made an extravagant mis-
construction in cancelling the confer
ence ON the ground that to confer on
the terms of Mr. De Valera's note
would be to recognize Ireland as an IN
dependent republic free to dissociate
herself from the empire. 1t should be
remembered that Ireland, many years
ago, was a sovereign state within the
empire, and retaining that sovereign
ty does not necessarily imply dlssocla'
ton and severenee.
"The British and Irish peoples will
refuse to accept this as the end OF ef-
forts toward peace. Letter writing has
continued too long. The negotiators
long ago should have met at the con-
ference table and got busy framing the
peace terms, instead of discussing the
oretical objections to such meeting.
1t is not yet too late for the adoption
of such course"

ACCEPT DECISION
TO BAR MAYFLOWER
American Race Committee Uncertain
About the Choice of Cup
Defender.

Gloucester, Mass, Sept. l6.-The ae-
ton of the Nova Scotia trustees of the
North Atlantic fishermen's trophy in
barring from this years races Tor the
fishing vessel championship the schoon-
err, Mayfower, selected as the Amer
lean defender, was accepted to-day by
the American race committee. 1t was
decided also to defend the trophy now
held here as result of Esperantos 5
victory at Halifax last year, but the
meeting of the committee was ad-
iourned without decision as to whether
the next choice as defender would come
by selection or in race.
The committees acceptance of the
ruling against Mayflower was without
question. WE hereby acknowledge
receipt of your telegram of the fif-
teenth and accept your decision" was
the message sent to III. r. Silver,
chairman of the Nova Scotia trustees.
The representatives of the May
flower made no appearance before the
committee it was stated. In formal
discussions they held that the debarred
schooner was in every respect prac-
tical fisherman that had complied with
all conditions of the deed of gift, and
that they were at loss to under
stand why she was not accepted.
Question as to the maner of picking
the craft to defend the cup won by
Esperanto lies largely in considera-
tions of finance. chairman Charles d.
Brown of the committee said. If a
race can be financed it will be early
in October.
