DUBLIN, Jan. 10.-When the Dali
Eireann adjourned tonight by consent OF
all sides TO Feb. Il, the situation which
last night was dangerous and obscure
has been to great extent clarified. The
new president, Arthur Griffith, and a
new cabinet had been elected and the
way had been smoothed to putting into
effect the terms OF the treaty.
The following cabinet officers were
named:
Minister of finance, AIicheai Collins.
Foreign Affairs, George Gavan Duffy.
Home affairs, cannon j. Dug,gan.
Local government, William 7. Cos
grove.
Economic affairs. Bryan o'TIiggins
Defense. Richard Mulcahy.
Immense relief is felt in Dublin at the
turn events have taken, ana this wiz
undoubtedly be experienced throughout
Ireland.
The temporary withdrawal Of Eainon
DeValera and his supporters from the
Dali, which rumor had forecast, proved
not to involve a permanent split. Mr..
DeYalera confined his protest to the
election of a new president. declaring his
unwillingness sao recognize the suitability
to that post Of man who, as chairman
of the London delegation, was bound TO
give effect to the treaty, which. according
to DeNalera, subverts the republic.
During the luncheon hour Dir. DeYa-
lera and his associates who left the hail.
held a private meeting. Some of the
more ardent spirits advocated refusal to
return. but moderate counsels prevailed
and the Dali reassembled as united
body. The Deyalera party is meeting

government in carrying out the treaty,
but he reserves the right Of free criti-

Of chairman OF the provisional govern

rights OF the Irish people or the existence
Of the Irish republic
At the same time. he expressed tho
conviction that English hostility may
have TO be faced. There is still intense
suspicion existent on both sides Of the
Dali Of the good faith OF the British min
istry. DeValera was clear in his assur-
ance Of the full support of his party i'm
resisting an attack from an outside
enemy.
Mr.. Griffith was repeatedly pressed
by hir. Degaiera TO denne his position,
which peValera described as new case
Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
Mr.. Griffith was challenged to define
his attitude toward the republic, and IT
evidently was supposed that he would
have difficulty in reconciling his posi-
tion as president with the position OF
chairman OF the provisional government.
Mr. Griffith, however, frankly recog-
nized during the transition period Of
the existence OF the republic, which he
undertook 70 maintain, but he said when
the free state was framed and ready to
come into operation there must be
general election. 50 that the people could
choose between the free state and the
continuance OF the republic.
Mr.. Deyalera's attitude toward Mr..
Griffith was considerate and respectfuS
