entire country has greeted the news
Of the cessation Of warfare in Ireland
and Eamonn De Valera's coming con.
ference with the British prime minis
ter at London which it is fcrvently
J hoped will lead TO full restoration Of
4 peace, The prospects Of which even
more cautious political observers re-
| gard as brighter than for a long time
Careful wording ot Mr.. de Valcra's
acceptance OF a conference is inter-
/ preted in some quarters here as based
/ on the necessity Of the Irish Repub.

/ own followers II IS thought. how
ever. that a truce deliberately en-
/ barkcd upon cannot well be deliber-
ately discarded, and that alone is a
! consideration Of great promise
The terms Of the truce. which be
| gins az noon Monday. were agreed to
at British military headquarters in
/ Dublin this afternoon. The provisions
OF the truce cover fully all the
ground for temporary peace be-
