London, July $.—(By the A. P.)—A truce has been declared between Eng- land and Ireland. It will take offect at noon on Monday next. Preparations arc aiready under way to end hostlities on the part of those actively engaxed in the lrish cause and the erown forces.

P.)— London and Dublin. Not only has Mr. De Valera, contrary to the general ex- pectation, consented to come to London 16 discuss with Mr. Lioyd George the basis on which a settlement of the Irish question might be reached by the prime minister's proposed London conference, But a truce has been arranged to begin at noon Monday. Thie has given reasonable assurance that the original conference, to which the prime minister imvited the Irish republi- can leader and Sir James Craig, the Ul- ster premier. will be held. day started hopefully with ~the king summoning the Ulster premier to a confersmce at Buckingham Paisce. This, following upon the King's conference yes- terday with General Jap Christian Smuts, the South African premier, is an dication of the intense interest the king s taking in the lrish problem, and, al- (hough under the iraditions of the Brit- sh constitution the king has no real ce in the direction of government af- airs. that does not prevent his exercising gresc influence in the policy of the country. ieneral Smuts is goin Cou with jominions, with Mr. Lioyd George. eral Smuts evidently thé negotiations, to - Chequers to spend the week end, together Gen- is the influence in perhaps something more than mere influence, for, lacking his ac- tive aid, it is hardly conceivabie that events could have progresse, so quickly as they did today, and the lact that the prime minister has not stood upon the dignity of his office, but seepingly is willing to discuss with Mr. De Valera the Lasis for a general conference, is consid- ered full of hopefulness. The principal events of this important day, however, occurred not in London but in Dublin, and the most striking was the sensational appearance of General Sir Nevil MacReady, the military com- mander in d, at the confarence of Eamonn De Valera and leading southern unionists, after his aide-de-camp has Seen sent in advance, presumably to as- certain whether. his participation would be agreeable General MacReady's appearance and long stay at the conference clearly had 1o do with Mr. Lioyd Georges lstter to Earl Middleton, one of the conferees, in which the prime minister declared that it would be impossible to copduct negoti tions with any hope of achieving satis- factory results if violence in Jreland con. tinued, and also that the British govern- ment would give ifistructions to the troops and police to suspend active op- erations the moment Mr. De Valera de- lared his intention to enter §nto a con- ference with the British government and to order the cessation of all acts of vio- Jemce by those under his control. General MacReady's presence at the conference has additional significance be- ause it has been stated that the “mili- tarist party” in Irgland has been strong- opposing peace negotiations and any idea of a truce. No report of the proceedings of Mr. De Valera's conference with the southern imionists has yet been issued, but it is believed that the principal topic dis- cussed was a truce and that Eamonn Duggan, a Sinn Feiner member of par- ament, Who was released from Mount Joy prison only a few days ago, acted as intermediary between the conference and the Sinm Fein leaders. Opinion still inclines to the idea that General Smuts, owing to the important part he has taken in the preliminary ne- gotiations, will be the first chairman of the Lendon conference, even It Mr. Lieyd Georze ‘uring the later stages, #s would be almost Inevitable if consti- tutional questions were under discussion. Another matter that has, been widely dises today, arising out of the visit of the secretary for war, Sir Laming Worthington Evans. to the king yester- day, was the possibility that the military evacuation of Ireland is under consid- sration. This, it is recalled, has been ad- vockted by many prominent statesmen, \ncluding Viscount Grey, former secre- tary for foreign affairs. In view of Gen. sral MacReady's attendance at the Dub- » conferencé it is belleved not impossi- ls that suck development is actually un- der advisement.

ROAD TO CONTINUE OWN METHODS Chicago, July 8.—Notification that the Pennsylvania Railroad would continue negotiation of rules in its own way was served on the railroad labor board at the conclusion of charges brought by the Federated Shop Crafts that the Penn- sylvania had failed to comply with the board's orders.

Whitfer, assist- ‘ant to the vice president, declared the policy of the road in allowing employes to select their representatives by a ballot of all employes had been a suc- cess and the road proposed to continue such methods.
