Dublin.-Optimism reigns again in
Dublin over the eventual settlement of
the Anglo-1rish dispute. This feeling
is due to the speech of Prime Minister
Lloyd George on the rising of parlia-
ment, which Sim Fem leaders inter
pref as indicating real desire for set
Element and willingness to go far to
obtain 1t.
1t is also felt that the prime minis

constant malicious questioning by die
hard unionists for two months, during
which he will be able to carry on the
discussions with ireland without ex-
cessive publicity.

was unable to say how long it will last.
The Irish leaders are under tremen-

honorable settlement with England.
They are receiving dozens of cables

they take what appears to be an I'M

Washington.-Congress was torn
asunder in a bitter fight over the

Party lines were shattered, dry
lines were split, the senate and house
at war, and the congressional recess

Meanwhile the treasury soon will

hibits beer as medicine is speedily

Restraint was broken and the
tense feeling over the Stanley amend
ment that had existed for a week
brought to a climax when Senator
Sterling OF South Dakota submitted
the Substitute agreed upon by four
OF the conferees to the senate.
Both senate and house amendments

the secret session of the joint confer
ence committee when it reported q
complete agreement on the Campbell
Willis anti-beer bill
Senator Ashurst of Arizona, q
staunch dry, who bolted the confer
ence, refused to sign the report.
Stating that he had not been invited
to the conference, Representative
Dyer Of Missouri took similar
stand.
Senator Ashurst washed his hands
of the entire proceedings after the
conferees decided to torpedo the
Stanley amendment. Although an ar
dent prohibitionist himself, Senator
Ashurst cortended that prohibition
enforcement has run to. such excuses
that legislative measures are impera-
lively necessary to preserve the con-
stitutional rights Of citizens.
Advocates Of the Stanley amend
ment "wets" and the more conserva-
tive ".drys" read the substitute and
fatty declared that they would never
accept it. Immediate organization of
IAN oath bound gang" to fight it FUN
til Christmas, IL necessary" was
adopted. )
Meanwhile Wayne B. Wheeler,
council for the Anti-Saloon League,

less the substitute was accepted. A
