London, Aug. 11.--Rumors that re.
plies of Eamonn de Valera, the Irish
republican leader, to the British gov
ernment's peace proposals, which was
received here yesterday, had produced
q serious crisis in the Irish situation,
were generally discredited here. Prime
Minister Lloyd George intended TO
leave Paris this forenoon for Lon
don, and yesterdays rather alarming
reports were given credit for a time,
but the attitude taken by the British
capital today was that although the
terms of the Irish missive were un-
known. negotiations between the gov.
ernment and the Irish republicans
would continue under favorable con-
ditions.
In well informed quarters belief was
expressed that Mr. de Valera's mes
sage reflected the view among mem.
bers OF the Irish republican parlia.
ment, with whom he had consulted
that the governments proposals fur.

that he asked for more explicit ex-
PLANTATION as TO certain details before
the British proposals should be sub
mitted to the Irish republican parlia.
ment next Tuesday.
1t was suggested that the hurried
return OF the prime minister from Par.
Is, was prompted by recognition Of
the fact that the short interval before
the meeting OF the Irish republican
parliament made 1t desirable that Mr.
de Valera have the governments re-.
sponse as long as possible before the
meeting OF the Dali Eireann. Some
political correspondents surTnise that
Mr.. Lloyd George welcomed the op-
perfume arrival OF the Irish commu-
rication as an excuse to escape from
the critical atmosphere OF Paris. pos.
sibly hoping that brief Interrupt
tion might relax the strain to which
the relations between Great Britain
and France have been subjected at
the present meeting of the supreme
allied council.
