hifld’l‘li'i‘lillii sun in an BETWEEN DEVALERA Add illth 0502613 Reply of Sinn Fein to British Premier’s Proposals Leaves Room for Continuing the Peace Parleys Though Couched in Uncivil Terms. A despatch from Dublin says:â€"Thel Dail Eireann’s reply to the British peace proposals is now in Lloyd George's hands, although the Sinn, 'Fein leaders refuse to admit the fact, insisting that it will not be presented, until after the public session of the1 .Dail last week. Commandant Robert Barton of the Irish Republican army, who has acted as courier in the past, left Dublin Wednesday last carrying the communication with him, and was to have handed it in at 10 Downing :street on Thursday. It will probably be published in London at the same time as de Valera announces it to the! Dail. The document, the correspondent is told on the best authority, is appar- ently, at first sight, a flat turndown of the British offer. but, like de Valera’s speeches, is qualified by all, sorts of conditions and restrictions, leaving an opening for further nego- tiations. It is brusque in tone almost to the point of being insulting, and; much depends on Lloyd George’s pa-, tlence in perusing it. If he will real-i ize it is written for the consumption I of Ireland rather than England andlag make corresponding allowances, and if the tone does not enrage his fol- lowers, causing pressure on him to break off the negotiations, hopes for .a settlement are still good. De Valera in his reply lays special stress on the exclusion of Ulster, and there is no doubt if the Ulster quesâ€" tion is settled the rest would be easy. 'The Southern Unionist-s are very angry at Ulster’s attitude, and do not see any reason why Ulster should not accept the guarantees offered and cast in her lot with the rest of Ireland. One of these guarantees is suggest- ed in the form of an agreement to hold a new election immediately, guaranteeing election to the Irish Par- liament and representation in the Cabinet for Southern business men in Whom Ulster has confidence. The South is said to be willing to do this, but Ulster so far has refused to budge from the position she has won under the Home Rule Act. A despatch from London sayszâ€"The British Cabinet sat two hours on Thursday night discussing the reply of the Irish Republican “Cabinet” to Prime Minister Lloyd George’s letter _ of August 13. After the sitting it was officially announced that no informa- tion as to the nature of the reply of Mr. Lloyd George’s response to it would be made public. It is understood that both will be read to the session of the Irish Re- publican “Parliament” in Dublin and meantime both sides have agreed to observe strict secrecy. The British Cabinet approved Mr. Lloyd George’s response, it is learned, and it is understood the negotiations will con- tin-no. It is understood that the “Repub- lican” letter makes no mention of a republic, but enunciates the principle of independence and expresses awr- ‘ sion to a resumption of warfare. Thus, it is considered that there is still a wide opening for a continuation of the peace negotiations, a fact which has caused widespread satisfaction and a general feeling of optimism. A later despntch from London sayszâ€"Prcmicr Lloyd George's reply to de Valera's letter refusing the Brit- ish offer to Ireland both of which docu. ments were published on Friday. leaves the road clear for further nego- tiaiions. The Premier's letter conveys the impression of a readiness to yield further grounds on contentious points without radically shifting the basis of the proposed settlement. Lloyd George virtually invites the Dail Eireann to reconsider the British position, which he outlines in further detail, and asks de Valera to return to Loud-oi. for further parleys. Full independence for Ireland is ain refused. and the generosity of the existing offer is emphasized by a comparison of the rights enjoyed by the States of the American Union. The persuasive tone of the Prem- ier’s reply is regarded as a clear re- flection of the wish to avoid a rupture, despite its reference to futility of any further exchange of notes and its call for definite action in Dublin towards the acceptance of Dominion status as a basis for further negotiations. “We can discuss no settlement which involves a refusal 0n the part of Ireland to accept our invitation to ‘ free and equal loyal partnership in the British commonwealth under one Sovereign," Lloyd George saysfin his letter. “We are reluctant to precipi- tate the issue, but we must poirt out that a prolongation of the present state of affairs is dangerous. “Action is being taken in various directions which, it continued, would prejudice the truce and ultimately lead to its termination. This would indeed be deplorable.” The opinion is general here that this latest exchange of notes has failed to register any advance towards peace over the previous situation, but is noted that both sides are studiously avoiding the use of language which could embitter the present relation~ ship or lead to a rupture. It is understood that two paramount issues still hang in the balance. One is that de Valera insists that Ireland must be regarded and treated as a single unit in the final settlement. The other issue is the demand that Great Britain exercise no more naval or military do ination over the island than it does over Canada or the other Dominions. M CANADIAN SHIP THOUGHT TO BE LOST Government Freighter, Cana- dian Importer, Can’t be Found by Sister Ship. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 28.â€"Tlie doom of the Canadian Government freighter, Canadian Importer, disabled for more than a week, apparently was spelled by lumber floating about the surface at her reported position, according to a radiogram from the Canadian Win- ner, which had gone to the aid of the wrecked vessel The message said that the Canadian Winner had been searching all day‘ rnd was continuing the search to- night. The coastguard cutter Soho~ mish wirelessed that she was speed- ing to the scene of the wreck in the; hope of picking up survivors. The lifeboat containing two mates. and nine of the crew, which left the; l i l l Importer more than a week ago to summon help, has not yet been located in spite of anxious search, and is be- lieved to be lost. .M o Marshal Foch Sails For US.

A despatch from Winnipeg says:â€" Grain shippers are growing uneasy ,over the enormous movement of United States grain through Eastern Canadian elevators at Atlantic ports isays The Manitoba Free Press. The newspaper claims to be privy to information that at present what are known as the Bay Port Elevators, l Depot Harbor, with a total capacity of a little over 7,000,000 bushels, have, roughly, only 1,500,000 bushels of space unfilled, and there are United States cargoes waiting to unload to- talling 5,000,000 bushels, and Chicago is pressing for further bookings. IMontreal elevators are all full, mainly with United States grain, and there are 3,000 cars on track waiting to un- load, the newspaper says. “United 'States movement through Chicago and across the lakes is said to be heavier than even during the pro-war period, and as rates via Montreal are lower than via Buffalo, Chicago is not unnaturally using the cheaper route,” the newspaper says. A despatch from Montreal says:â€" Unprecedented grain congestion ob- tains in this port, and has existed for the past week or 10 days.
