SPuRN PEACE OFFER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, February s.-The proposal
for surrender contained in Liam
Deasy's latter to Eamonn de Valera
and other leading irregulars cannot
be considered. says an official COM
niunique issued by the republican
headquarters stan on behalf OF "the
republican government" and its army
council.
The republican refusal was fore
shadowed in utterances from republi-
can quarters this morning. The Re
publican Bulletin was uncompromis-
ing in its comment on the Deasy pro-
posal. and Miss MacSwiney came out
with a long letter in which the full
republican claim was again set forth.
"Fixes ResponsibiIity."
The general effect Of the press COM
meht on the offer. before it was
known what the reply would be, was
that whatever answer de Valera
might make there would no longer
be doubt as TO who was responsible
for continuing the struggle: that the
government would be given a free
hand and could not. as the Freeman 8
Journal put il. be again indicted for
measures necessary to put an end
to the suicidal war.

a cabinet position. Mr.. Wood made pub:
lie the fact that he was seeking to inter-
view with Presiden Harding TO repre-
sent to him that if Mr.. New should be

disrupt the republican party in Indiana.
in Mr.. Woods opinion.
Mr.. Wood based his contention upon
the allegation that Senator New had
been lukewarm in his support of the
United States senatorship in the last
election. He held that resentment
against Mr.. News alleged course was
so keen in the Hoosier state that the
republican party would have no
chance of carrying the state in the
next election.
Finds Self Alone.
In taking this position, Mr.. Wood
has found himself alone In the In
diana delegation in the House. His
colleagues are today considering ways
and means Of making known publicly
their reputation of his position and
his charges.
1t has not been decided what form
this declaration of Mr.. Woods COL
leagues will take whether in the
adoption of formal resolution of dis
sent from his views or a statement to
the press.
Up TO today Mr.. Wood had not been
successful in obtaining an interview
with President Harding 10 present
his case. II is known that President
Harding entertains warm friend
ship for Senator New and the talk in
political circles has been that the
President probably would. in the
course of some cabinet changes eN-
pected to be made about March 4. fol-
Fall, give the Indiana senator port

After a conference of the Indiana
delegates in the House late this aft

ber of the republican steering COM
nittee of the House. gave out the

is being seriously considered as a

ing allied citizens were notified Sat
urday that, according to THrkish port
1000 tons would be allowed to remain
in the harbor.
Occurred Last November.
Similar action was taken by the
Turks last November. but the allied
high commissioners pointed out that
according to the terms of the Mudros
armistice. which was still in effect,
allied warships of any tonnage were
allowed to stay in the Turkish ports
The new notification, signed by Reouf

drafted in q drastic form, having the
character OF an ultimatum. II gave
the allies ''just the necessary time to
steam out OF the port, and should they
not comply with the order the Turk
ish coast batteries were instructed to

The Turkish note caused amazement
and stupefaction in allied circles. and
at the request of the high commits
sioners the time was prolonged to
give a French cruiser an opportunity
to take aboard French citizens.
Strong Attitude Adopted.
The British government adopted a
strong attitude. AS soon as the ulti-
matum was known and 1t was evident
that the order was issued not by the
local authorities but by the kemalist
premier himself, the cruiser Curacao.

rier Pegasus proceeded to Mitylene.
ready to intervene should the Turks
enforce the threat
Thursday morning the Curacao
sailed quietly into Smyrna harbor,
thus defying the Turkish orders, while
the battleships were cruising in the
vicinity. and a mine sweeper was
ready to pick up any mines the turks
might have laid in the course OF the
night Hydroplanes were also flying
back and forth in search of mines.
Meanwhile the Turks were informed
that the laying of mines would be
considered an act of hostility and that
the British ships had been ordered to
return the fire if they were fired upon.
1t is believed that the firm British
attitude will compel the Turks either
TO recede from their position or pre-
cipitate war. According to Angora
reports, however. 1t is probable that
the Turks will yield and withdraw
the order in spite of the soviet rep
: resentative. who is said to be insisting
that the Turks maintain an uncom-
promising attitude.
