Press) The Russian delegates. who
have been asked to analyze their budget
and explain how many hundreds of
millions or billions of rubles are in
cluded for military expenditures, to-
morrow will be given an opportunity to
explain how large an amount has been
allotted for propaganda purposes.
The Russians also will be questioned
as to the use which they propose to
make of the credits of more than ST.

The non Russians will be pressed by
the Russians for a statement OF the ex-
act extent of their prewar claims against
Russia and how these claims are held.
The Russians have slender hope that
the United States will participate In the
conference or that any scheme embrac-
Ing the whole of Europe will succeed
but they cherish the hope that the
United States will decide to have sepa-
rate negotiations with Russia and make
an agreement entirely independent of
the rest of Europe. as was done with
Germany. 1t is thought that the Rus
slams will divulge tomorrow a full list
of concessions they are ready to grant
foreign capitalists. Oil will doubtless top
the list and It is an Immediately con-
vertible Russian asset, in which the non
Russians are all interested.

Continued from First Page.

The position of the insurgents seems at
this hour to be hopeless. An assault with
the aid of rifles and grenades already
has driven a wedge through the line.
The Government recognizes a real
danger in allowing the struggle to con
tinue longer and also appreciates the
disastrous effect II the struggle con-
tinues and commerce and industry re-
main paralyzed.
The crowds of people about the streets
bordering upon the zone of military
activity to-day showed the extent to
which the Government forces already
have obtained control. The young troops

coolness and good nature.
Two armed irregulars could be seen
through the window OF an eating house
this afternoon, firing in the air as they
sat there, to give the impression that
the place was strongly occupied. In
North Great George street two irregu-
lars ununiformed, held up and robbed

away on a stretcher.
Various attempts over the weekend
to end the present conflict abruptly have
proved abortive. The most generous
terms the Government has felt able to
OFFER were given to delegation CT lead
ing clubwomen Saturday, for ccmmuni-
cation to the irregulars. 1t was stated
that the Government then offered to
cease its offensive and allow the irregu-
lars occupying buildings to 20 home, If
they would relinquish arms and ammu-
milton.
The Lord Mayor and the Archbishop
of Dublin also have vainly attempted ne
gotiations. The Government fears,
however, that If the result Of the pres
ent hghting Is not conclusive, the same
thing will be recurring constantly, pre-
venting normal life and recreation in
the city. 1t is said that some Of the
irregulars were disposed to accept the
Governments proposition for laying
down arms, but that republican women
insisted upon continuing the fight.
Peoria Bishop Peacemaker.
One of the men most active in the
endeavor to mediate between the Gov
ernment and the irregulars is Bishop

The clubwomen sent a request to Ar

conflict. In replying, the President of
