New York, May 14.-An imprompt,

Dublin. May 14-(By The Associ
ated Press. The Irish peace com
mittee met again Saturday in the Man
sion house. Not much was accomp-
iished and further sittings will be held
Some optimism was noticeable, but
no ground for it was apparent The
real point of division is the agreed
elections.
At the conference it was urged. on
the treaty side. that it should imply
certain acceptance of the treaty as
fact which altered the whole situa-
ton.
The proposals. signed by Michael
Collins and Richard Mulcahy. were sup
posed to indicate the possibility of a
compromise as to the nature of the
elections, but the official organ Of the
party favoring the treaty discounts
this supposition.
According to Harry J. Boland. of
the republican side, the negotiations
for peace never would have been be-
gun if this attitude had been made
clear. The free state paper puts the
position directly. saying:
I'VE shall either have peace under
which the will of the majority shall
prevail once for all. or war be rem
dered more certain by the solemn call
ing of a truce
The paper describes the gravity of
the situation as strongly as the union
lists have in the house of commons.

Truce viii End Oct. rs
In his statement on the proposed
mixed commission. Sir Edward Grigg
explained that it was virtually impos-
slble for all the powers in the confer
ence to have representatives: conse-
qnently they would designate a limited
number TO handle Russian affairs. just
as was done at Genoa. and that the
Russians doubtless would be allowed
more members in their panel than any
other single power would have in the
mixed panel.
In the meantime a truce will operate
making separate agreements with Rus
sia
The economic conference seemingly
will last only few days longer. Sew
eral delegates declared Sunday night
that this week probably would bring it
to close.
Four months will be the maximum
time of the truce suggested in connec-
ton with Russian affairs. The pro-
posed plan of the Hague meeting pro-
vdes that decision must be rendered
within three months of June 2O-26. and
an additional month will be allowed
within which the powers may reject or
ratify the decision. Consequently Oct.
70 will be the extreme limit of the
truce.
