Peace Plans Rumored
AS Dali Session Nears


DUBLIN, Sept. A (By The Associated
Press )-As the time for the meeting Of
the Irish Parliament approaches re-
newed rumors are In circulation of
plans to bring about peace between the
government and the irregulars. 1t is
pointed out that the nucleus OF pos
sible peace party exists In connbina-
tion of the Labor Party and the Inde-
pendents, but in government circles
there Is NO talk Of any compromise, the
essential condition OF peace being de-
clared in these circles TO be surrender
on the part of the irregulars.
The four Parliament vacancies caused
by the deaths Of Arthur Griffith,
Michael Collins, Charles Burgess and
Harry Boland will afford the electors
in widely separated districts the oppor-
tunity for clear pronouncement on
the Anglo-Irish treaty and the govern
ment's policy. Michael Collins's seat
seems likely TO be Allied by General
Diarmuid 0'Hegarty, who probably will
be taken into the Cabinet.
canon de Valera and Erskine Chill
ders are believed to have participated
in a battle near Kilworth, County Cork,
on Saturday. During the conflict, in
which the national troops defeated q
greatly superior number Of irregulars,
a guard of seventeen of the latter kept
close watch over farmhouse, from
which the two Republican leaders are
believed to have directed the opera
tions.
