being reached before Saturday.
To Approach Ulster.
It was the general belief that the dail
eireanii would nut break off the nego-
tiations with fireat Itrilain nud it was
thought that some action might be taken
t 'ipproach l ister in an effort to secure
her co-operutioii in earning on the

snvs it siiffsrestcd n deadlock but sdds
! that if this is true the time hss come to
I refer the question to the people and if it
.is possible to make any advance in the
I negotiations such advance should be made
ut once.
Length of Session Doubtful.
Flow long the secret sessions of the
dail will last none of the deputies (which
the members of the dail are called when
addressed in Knglish) would venture to
predirt. The probability seems to he'
that the private meetings will extend
over the week end with the next public
meeting early neit week.
Meanwhile if Mr. De Valera's speech
of Wednesday with its pointed references
lo T'lster does not arouse Premier Lloyd
lirorge or the Helfast authorities lo ac-
tion the dail may cither send a Consid-
ered reply to Mr. Lloyd George's letter
announcing its decision to submit the
ipiestion to n plebiscite or ask the gov-
ernment whether it will agree to give
Ireland dominion home rule of the kind
outlined in the recent letter of General
Smuts.
The wonderful discipline of the Irish
republican nrmy continues to be the ad-
miration of those attending the Mansion
house daily. When the hour approaches
for the arrival of the deputies a sipiad
of boys (for they are no more than boys)

officer whose extra alertness is the only
thing to distinguish him from the pri-
vates march to the front of Ihe building
Inko their places and carefully scrutinizi!

Kven Hpenksr Manelll had to show Ms
card of admittance Thursday morning !
nnd the fncf that the youths were brought '
lo attention when such men as Mr. De j
Valera and Arthur Griffith the founder
of the Sinn Fein were entering the build-
ing was the only thing that prevented
I hem from making a similar xlemnnd upon i
these Irish leaders.

ready and without violence. Thnt such
a condition existed is of course a scan-

' U seems" rani the majority "thnt

not one to his real detriment."
Colonel Hunt "within the next two
months after he pnrtlc:'tited so criminally

'file possibility of calling a plebiscite hv
which the people of Southern Ireland
might give their lenders a mandate gov-
I'Uiniig their future activities in the nego-
tiations remained Thursday as one of the
solutions of the situation. Jn the ad-
dresses delivered before the public ses-
sions of the parliament it appeared that
stress was laid nu the principle Ihut the
chieftains of the Irish republican move-
ment could uol entertain Great Hrltnin's
offer and there were many who believed
Mr. De Valera and his colleagues poi
si Ii I y intended to ask for uew instruc-
tions. Members of the dail elrennn were

a more serious look than ever when they
