PREEMAN'S JOURNAL IS HOPEFUL FOR SETTLEWENT Irish Newspaper Makes Strong Plea ”~ for Pcace—Wants Govern- ment's Oficr Accepted. Dublin, Feb. 9.—The Freeman's Jeurnal, commenting upon the offer of amnesty to those who surrender their arms by February 13, says that 600 prisoners at Limerick have also asked “for the opportunity to press upon their leaders the futility of a war of extermination.” “They do not want Ireland to he; turned into ‘ashes and blooqd' to use their own words, the newspaper says. It describes the new developments as a genuine effort for peace and con- tinues: “Great hope will seize the heart of Ireland today. Fighting men are making a genuine effort for peace. Tiam Deasy, under the sentence of death, has asked for.time to attempt something ‘for the future of Ire- jand.' * ¢ ¢ “If Liam Deasy agreed to against the Irish people’s will and desires that they should now cease we may rest assured that it is be- cause he, as a soldler, has taken the measure of the hopelessness of the situation. His peace overture is an act of genuine moral courage. The ILimerick prisoners are unanimously of the same mind.” The article concludes as follows: “Nobody will any longer have doubt as to where the responsibility rests for the continuance of the _ struggle . Moreover the government will bo given a perfectly free hand. {'They cannot again be indicted for measures necessary to put an end to the suicidal war. The man respon- sible for this war himself, invoked »it by the horrid word ‘extermina- tion." "’ fight SYRACUSE FRATS BONE DRY.
