Two of the MONDAY, AUGUST TRISH PARLIAMENT MEETS INFORMALLY Members Gather Preparatory to Discussing New Crisis Dublin, Aug. 15.—(By . Associatéd Press)—An informal meeting of the Irish repuplican parliament was the chief manifestation today of the ac- tivity -observable in both Sinn Fein and Dublin’ castle' quaXters as the re- sult of the new turn in the Irish ne- gotiations following the disclosures in the correspondence between Lloyd George and De Valera. The meeting was' held in ‘the Mansion House at noon to give members, many of whom had never met, an opportunity to be- come acquainted. Some' of the members of the Dail Eireann have been on the run, others have been fighting’ with the Irish re- publican army and still others wére making their first appearance in’Dfb- lin since their release from prison or internment camps. They were in all sorts of attire, but all bore the same marks Of carnestness on their faces and showed eagerress to glean any information régarding -the nego- tiations which had not been made public while discussing among them- selves "with the greatest interest. the letters ‘of the British premier a&nd their own leader. « Returns From Scotland. Sir John Anderson, under ‘secretary tor Ireland, on:whose shoulders rests the greatest responsibility of the.civil administration in Ireland, hurriedly returned today from Scotland to use his influence against a definite break in the parleying. . He went into con- ference with Gen. Sir Nevil Macready, commander of the forces in Ireland and otner officials-in-an -apparent’ ef- fort to imbue them with -his optimism —for he is represented as 3till beliév- ing that there is a-probability of the Sinn Fein accepting the government's offer. Fear Truce Newss End. The military element, on the other hand, is. not so optimistic as # is credited with fearing that ‘the truce is near an end. The optimists_in.the .Dublin: castle body . base ‘their.hopes on severurl fac- tors. .. Btk The flru is that a. (our days session of the republican parliament has been arranged. If the republican cabinet had decided to.recommend immediate rejection of the terms they argue, one day would have been sufficient. Fighting Not Desend. Another factor pointed. to is “that the fighting. men .on the ‘republican side, many of these since the truce was declared have returned to civil employment. The police. declare the evidence they have gathered indicates these men would obey orders to re- turn to the field, but that they would do sp reluctantly. Again there is the attitude ot the | press gupporters .of. the = Sinm -Fein; whose editorials some offictals inter. pret-as at:least a-suggestion that the premier’s terms, with the addition of the pledge of the support of: the dominions, given by Gen. Smuts in his letter to Mr. De Valera, should be ac- cepted. Fear Res. aption of War.' The pessimists among the officials meanwhile indicate their belief that the resumption of war it at hand, that the Dail Eireann will merely repeat De Valera’s letter in its reply to the British premier. In the streets of Dublin today such expressions ‘as the *truce ends Tues- day night” are heard on the lips of some of the apparently lighter mind- while the serious business and protessmna] men, are, aniiously dls: fcussing the prospects. Surprise is expressed in some quar- ters that De Valera did not ask the British government for general am- nesty which is a live question for thé moment, one of the, newspapers hav- ing caused the posting of placards throughoul the city bearing‘ the slo- gan ‘“release for al BROKE SKULL—DIDN'T KNOW Brooklyn Woman Walked About Ten Days With Injury. ‘Worcester, Mass., Aug. 15.—Mrs. Nina Greenwood, wife of the Rev.
