IRISH PEACE
 PROPOSAL TO
 END WARFARE

Dublin, Sept. 7-Peace propos-
 aIs to end the warfare between
 Irish Irregulars and the Free
 State forces will be proposed
 when the Dali Eireann meets
 Saturday, it was learned today.
 William T. Cosgrave probably will
 lead the Free Staters in debate
 while Eamonn De Valera, despite
 reports of his capture, is expect-
 ed to head the antf-treaty side.
 The report that De Valera and Erskine Childers were captured is doubted here. It is believed that the Free States forces have had numerous opportunities to capture the rebel chief, but refrained for fear of 'martyrizing" him. Ers1ine Childers chief aide to De Valera, has been wounded. A strong movement is growing up among followers of the late Arthur Griffith and Michael Col lins that, if Erskine Childers is really g. prisoner, as reported, he be deport- ed to England. He is said to be a native of England.
