A new element entered into the agitation for a two platoon system in the ire department this morning when Mayor A. M, Paonessa anhaune- cd that he was strongly in fayer Of such q system, but that ia the event Of it's adoption he believed the fire fighIeEs should submit 10 a cut in wages,
 For several years the hremen have carried on fight for the double pla- icon system, but there has been a dis position on the part of many members in the department to continue under present wage rate rather than 10 ae- eept reduction in pay, Mayor Paan- essa's stand is prompted by the fact that under the propospf new plan the freman's day will be reduced. He does nes feel that it is proper for a man to expect for is hours work the same amount of pay that he was for merly given for 2i hours, His stand is the same as that taken by Alder man George II, Wells last year when the two platoon was before the coun- eff.

TIME ALONE WILL TELL
 EFFECT OF IRISH PROPOSALS
suspension of All Executions Is Re- garded As a Hopeful Sign
 Toward Peace

London, Feb. 10. (By Associated
 Press)-The concensus of English cor.
 respondents in Dublin is that time
 alone will reveal the effect of Liam
 Deasy's appeal to the republican lead
 CTS. We'll wishers of the Free State
 government hope that many of the
 rank and file of the irregulars will be influenced by Deasy's stand and avail themselves of the amnesty proclama. tion with the result that the republi.
 can cheftains will find their follow ing considerably diminished.
 Reconsideration by the republican leaders is not regarded as hopeless in
 some quarters where it is remarked that Liam Lynch's reply merely turn Fed down the proposal for uncondition- al surrender and did not bar the door to all negotiations.
 According to Dublin dispatch to the Times that fact that the govern ment has suspended all executions is hopeful sign. The correspondents say a number of prominent republican are under the sentence of death and that their safety may weigh with their friends while powerful influences will also be brought to bear on both sides to end the quarrel because it is gen. erally recognized that if this oppor- tunity is allowed to slip away another chance may not present itself soon.
 The Dublin correspondent of the Gazette sends his news- paper an odd report which suggests that it may have been inspired in anti Free State circles although the itself is a warm supporter of the government. The story is that the Deasy who issued the appeal is not the we'll known deputy chief of staff, but "an insignificant follower of the same name whose authority to ap- peal to De Valera and Lynch is sub- feet to very serious discount.
 Much attention and speculation are given to President Cosgrave's visit to | London where he and his colleagues.I ire being guarded by the police with | care. Although it is | inown that the visit had long been | lrranged, some commentators refuse ! 0 regard it as unconnected with new ,fforts for peace.
 One story is that the visitors are rying to obtain Great Britain's con- ent to the increase of the Free State .rmy which is said to have reached he limit prescribed by the treaty.

SOME STILL HOPE FOR
 SETTLEMENT IN IRELAND
Frecman's Journal. While Disappoint- cd at Irrcgulars' Refusal, Sees
 Some Claim for Peace.

Dublin. Feb. io.-tBy Associated Press 1.-The turning down by Liam Lynch. republican chief Of stan. of the peace initiative taken by Liam Deasy has caused disappointment. but there is a disposition on the part Of commentators to regard the situation as having made progress in pacific direction.
 "The rejection does not make any more difficult the task that lay before the Irish people and that govern mcnt." says the Freeman's Journal. "on the contrary. both have shown . readiness to pursue peace fl possible by methods of statesmanship. They demand mere guarantees that would secure peace when 1t was won.
 Liam Lynch, who owes his liberty to the Irish generals too trustful &C., ceptance of his word of honor, insists that the fratricidal war shall continue until De Valera's vision of 'extermi- nation is fulfilled. We have con viction that both these war makers will be disappointed.
 Liam Deasy has rendered this great service to his country: He has enabled its people to distinguish be- tween real republicans and mere de- stroyers."
