Hope For Ire
land Revives
Both London and Dublin Be-
lieve That Agreement VIII
Be Reached "

London, Aug. Is (By the Asso-
ciated Press ).-Opumism contin-
ucs the prevailing note in London
opinion on the Irish question. The
general view is that Ea1non de Va
lera. leader Of the Irish Republ-
cans, having sought, but failed to
secure improved terms, is in a po-
sition no worse than he was several
DAYS ago and that since the nego-
tiations are being conducted by
both sides Of the controversy with
consideration there is no reason
why they should break down.
Public opinion here considers
that the letter Of Jan c. SHUTS, the
South American premier, to NJ. de
Valera, urging acceptance OF the
imperial governments proposals, IS
likely to prove the central. and de-
ciding factor Of the issue. The be-
lief is expressed. however, that the
Dali Eireann will decline to as
sumo the responsibility for a decls-
ion but will refer the problem to a
plebiscite Of the Irish people, either
by referendum on the question OF
accepting or rejecting the govern
ment's proposals, or by a new cleo
ton to the southern parliament, in
which case it is believed the advice
Of General SHUTS will have the
greatest weight.
After freedom for the past month
from their load Of anxiety incident
to the guerrilla warfare, it is felt
here that the Irish people will be
reluctant to give decision which
would mean a return to hostilltles
but will prefer TO act on. the advice
Of General Srnuts and accept the
governments terms and leave TO
time the settlement Of the Ulster
problem.

Insures Against Rain

against rain in order not to lose
money on account Of the small gate

Walsh Insurance Agency of this

being the first company in Sumter

Dublin, Aug. Is (By the Associat-
cd Press).-The pessimisn over the
Irish situation which today in some
quarters in Dublin reached almost
the point Of hopelessness, yielded
tonight to reasoned optimism when
the program for the meeting tomor-,
row Of the Dali Eireann was made
public
Instead of Immediately taking up
the problem Of peace or war, the
Sim Fein parliament will spend at
least two days in dealing with the
formalities incident to the opening
of the new legislative body thus
providing an opportunity for many
things to happen behind the scenes.
All Ireland is eager for a decis-
ion By the parliament on the Brit
ism governments terms, whether 1T
be acceptance Of them, the express
sion of a desire for further nego-
tiations or rejection, in order to re-
move the tension which now exists.
The belief prevails that rejection
would mean a resumption on an IN
tcnsiGed scale when the truce: ends
of the guerrilla warfare tat for SO
long terrified the country.
Dublin Castle officials view the
prolongation Of the sessions Of the
Dali Eireann III various lights. One
section Of the British government
expresses the fear that delay III ms
mediately acting on the trouble
some questions at issue may pro-
woke the military. which is declared.
to be not hopeful Of a favorite set
tlement.. into making preparations
for eventuali.ies.
The other SccTion, however. ad-
vances tha opinion that the longer
the members of the Dali Eireann
are in debate the greater will oe the
chance for acceptance Of the i'm
perial governments terms. These
persons affect to see a bright spot
in q prolonged session. arguing. that
one day would be sufficient to end
the negotiations il the republican
cabinet so desired.

SECOND BROADSlDE
LAUNCHED BY DAWES
Former Brisadier General Attacks
What He Describes as Partisan
Attempt to Blaeken Name
of American Army

Washington, Feb. 3.-Another
broadside was let loose by Charles G.
Dawes today against the congression-
al methods of Investigating the con-
duct of the war.
+, Attacking what he characterized as
partisan attempt to blacken the name
of the whole American army because
of the blunders Of few, the former
brigadier general in charge Of supply
procurements in France, declared
house committees could serve more
useful public service by turning the
search light upon the waste OF mil
lions of government dollars right un-
der. their nose.
A group of women in the crowded
committee room failed to prevent Mr..
Dawes from swearing like "buck'
private. He strobe around the COM
1nittee room, hitting harder than he
was hit, and swearing nladly every
time he construed questioning as a
reflection on any part or parcel of
the fighting outfit of which he-was a
mart. Chairman Johnson, himself, a
former service man at the front, told
MIR. Dawes at the end of the hearing
he wished there had been other wit
nesses as. truthful and as unafraid to
speak out in meeting.
Mr.. Dawes made no attempt to con-
ceal the feeling that he was having
very good time. At times the, room
was in an uproar Of merriment, and
the echo of oaths swept down the long
corridor of the big building as he
tuged his wrathful language upon
critics Of the war who stayed at home
Sick of Investigations
Referring to numerous investiga'
tions by the house, Mr.. Dawes said
he; thought the speople were sick OF
them.
..'Why, there is no longer any news
in it, vie shouted. eff i wasn't here,
strutting around and swearing, there
would be no news in this. Don't for.
get that it was an American war, not
Republican or Democratic wal
and the record Of the glorious work
of our army will live hundreds Of
years after your committee is deae
and gone and forgotten"
When the name of General Per
shing was. brought into the discus
sion, Mr.. Dawes could scarcely con
troll his anger.
e'There were hounds in this coun
try" he declared, "who tried tt
spread the false news that Pershins
was at the theatre the night of the
armistice. He was there, like hell. HI
was at his office, starting the work o.

cancelling the vast war contracts to
save money. 1t will take 25 or SO
years for Pershing to get his place in
history, but let me tell you the time
will come when every doughboy over
seas will be proud to say that he was
one of Pershing's men.
Doesn't Mind Kicks.
"You can try to. give me all the
he'll YOU want like it. You kick
because sold lot of second hand
Junk to the French government for
100000 instead of keeping 4O,-
900 soldiers there to guard it while we
tried to peddle. Ny conscience hurts
me sometimes when think we
charged them too much."
Mr.. Dawes said he was Repub-
lican, but was broad enough to give
the war department full credit for its
work in getting more men to the
front than France and Great Britain
put there in the same period. Then
he jumped upon the department. and
denounced it for its refusal to per-
init promotion of men in the ranks
for privates and sergeants who had
the grit of generals. The rule by
which men, eager to go overseas, but
kept at home, were required to wear
silver stripes was characterized as
one of the disgraceful acts of the
war.
The award of distinguished service
medals came in for a fierce attack. 1t
broke more hearts, Mr.. Dawes said,
than anything else because thousands
of men, entitled to the medals, were
passed by. Mr.. Dawes said it was all
right for congress to go ahead and
try to find and punish men who made
mistakes in the stress of war, but told
the committee it would get no where
and that the public was not concern
ed with those mistakes now.
"And they are, trying to say that
Pershing permitted the sacrifice OF
thousands of lives on Arnaistice day.
It's the most damnable lie ever utter
ed and it's all right to sit back here
viewing from a partisan standpoint
the work overseas: when if you peo-
pie so free to condemn had been there
) you might have done just as we did
or worse. Liquidation? Why he'll,
men, we liquidated everything. There
wasn't any wilful destruction OF
property in France as this committee
has tried to show. The junk we could
not sell was given away; it was cheap
er than burning or burying it. They
, pinned one, Of those medals on me,
but it had damned sight better gone
to some poor devil in the ranks who
| better deserved it.
| Judge w. B. Parker, who had much
| to do with the liquidation job in
France and who was. described by
Mr.. Dawes as "a hard boiled egg" as
an army trader, will be heard tomor,
row by the committee.
