IRISH ARE HOPEFUL
Amnesty Is Granted All Those Who Will Lay Down Their Arms on or Before February 13.

Dublin, Feb. 2 tBy the Associated between the Irish Free State govern- ment and at least part of the repub- lican element were brighter today in consequence of the developments that led Richard Mulcahy, the minister of defense, to offer amnesty Ito all in arms against the government who will surrender their arms on or be- fore February 13."
 The minister's proclamation was the result of Liam Deasy's appeal to other republican leaders to lay down their arms as he himself has con- sented to do. Deasy, De Valera's chief deputy, is one of several ir- regulars who have been sentenced to death. A few days ago, however, he signed an agreement for the surren- der of arms and men, and was then permitted to issue a communication to several prominent republicans, in cluding De Valera himself, Austin Stack and Liam Lynch, asking them to take similar step. Meanwhile stays of execution have been granted
 Just what will be De Valeras re- sponse to the appeal is unknown However, it was only recently that through the medium of a newspaper interview he reiterated his uncom- promising hostility toward the Free State government and his insstence upon a republic.

Bile thru the scope of the motion pic
