WAIT FOR ANSWER
Sim Fein ENJOYS Confer
Among Themselves in London.
Contrary Views Expressed as to
Viewpoint of Conferences.

London, Oct 15.-In the absence of
a formal session of the Irish peace
conference today, the Sim Fem en-
voys conferred among themselves,
meanwhile awaiting an answer from
the communication which was sent by
special courier to Eamonn de Valera
at Dublin last night The communica-
ton was understood to have referred
to Premier Lloyd Georges question
whether the Irish would consent to a
continuation of the deliberations upon
the BASH that ireland remain a part
of the British empire.
Contrary views were expressed as to
the viewpoint of the conferences. A
report was current in official circles
that the British delegates were pessi-
mistic and that the ENJOYS feared that
the conference might end next week
On the other hand, the Daily Express
said there is entire satisfactio on
both sides over the progress made so
far"
A plan for Strengthening the Irish
truce was made on Friday and will be
put into feet over the weekend.
This made it appear that both sides
believe the conference will continue
indefinitely.
Full details of the armistice arrange
ments have not been published, but
will be made public next week.
Delegates are maintaining the most
secrecy regarding the subjects that
have been discussed It is understood.
however, the conference is now at the
heart of the Irish problem and that it
was upon the request of the Irish that
"a postponement was takenA until Mon
day to enable certain inquiries to be
made at Dublin
