Expect Valera
To Take Part in
London Parley
Irish Leaders Dissatisfied
With Delay; Believe the
Freeing of Griffith and
AfacNeill Shows Sincerity
Situation Is Encouraging
"Republic's" President Will
Demand Terms Similar to
Those Given South Afriea
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON. July 2.?After Eamon de
Valera's meeting: Monday in Dublin
with leaders of the minority factions
in Ireland the "president of the Irish
republic'' is confidently expected to ac?
cept Premier Lloyd George's invita?
tion to a conference in London to dis?
cuss a settlement of the Irish question.
Reports from Dublin say that the
release of Arthur Griffith and Pro?
fessor John Mac.Neill, two rebel mem?
bers of Parlament who have been in
prifor. the last year, has made a good
in.pression of the sincerity of the Lon- j
der. government. In Republican circles
there ie some dissatisfaction with De
Valera's tactics of delay, some holding
thai 's hesitation in making a final;
reply to the Premier's irvitation is in?
juring his own ci.use.
De Valera has asked the Southern
Unionists to use their influence to sr
rar.ge a conference between him and
Sir James (raie:, the Ulster Premier,
who "ill not attend Monday's factional
meeting. Among those who will ac
eompany the "president of the Irish re
public" to the London gathering is
John MacKeown, who is now in Mount
joy prison under sentence of death for
the Murder of a police inspector. He is
.one of the leaders of the Irish repub?
lican army and a powerful force in
Sinn F?m councils.
Will Demand Presence of Smuts
De Valera will demand the presence ;
of General Jan C. Smuts, Premier of !
the Union of South Africa, at the Lon- I
don conference. The Sinn Fein lender
will ask Premier Lloyd George to state .
the terms of the settlement he pro- ;
pos-;-, if these fall below the grants1
given South Africa under her constitu- !
tiqn. De Valer? will appeal to General i
Smuts, asking him whether he would ?
accept similar terms. If the British !
government agrees to give Ireland the ;
same terms ?? were obtained by South ]
Africa after the Boer War De Valera
will promise to return to Ireland and ;
'eommend their acceptance by the;
Irish people.
De Valera probably would accept a
limitation for a period of years of the
right of Ireland to exercise the do?
minion's privilege of complete acces?
sion from the Brit'sh Empire.
The situation is developing in an ex?
ceedingly encouraging wsy, ;<nd at last
the prospect of a truce in Ireland and
the =ettlemenf of differences there
seems excellent. The prers generally is
?reserving an attitude favorab'e to ne?
gotiation, ana. with few exceptions, thf>
nev.-spapers are giving Premier Lloyd
George every encouragement for his
'icy of conciliation. The New
nan says :
"An Irish correspondent writes: 'It
would he folly to disguise the fact that
though Ireland desires nothing more
ardently than peace, the average Irish?
man hopes, rather than expects, that
Lloyd George's invitation to De Videra
end Sir James Oraig will provide a way
out of a situation which, by universal
admission, is intolerable.'
Dropped Policy of Violente
"In Great Britain it is taken for
granted that the Cabinet has dropped
the plan of imposing a settlement on
Ireland because the Georgian olive
branch followed the brandishing of the
Birkenhead bludgeon. Ireland is sus?
picious, with good reason, of double
dealing by the coalition and has still
to be convinced that the olive branch
was proffered in earnest and not as
an excuse r.o justify a more drastic
use of the bludgeon.
"There are republicans who even a
Bign from heaven would not persuade
that Great Britain might be trusted
to act fairly toward Ireland. But the
men whose opinions count in the move?
ment are not of this type. The major?
ity of the leaders, including most of
the prominent activities upon whose
head the government has set a price,
are honestly anxious for a reasonable
settlement and are ready to make sub?
stantial compromises to obtain it."
The Saturday Review, which appears
to-day under new management and an?
nounces that henceforth it will be non
political, says:
"The government has stumbled at
last on the only path to a tolerable
settlement and the country,, we believe,
will hold them to it."
G. K. Chesterton, in The New Wit?
ness, says:
"There are sincere peacemakers even
in the government and thousands of
them in the country. It is to these
that we must look to make the real
t Terence succeed whether or no the
politicians mean it to succeed."
Many Killed Following Ambush
DUBLIN. July 2 (By The Associated
Press).?Many men are believed to
have been killed in fighting following
the ambush of a police patrol by civil
tana on ;he Bullina-Sligo highway near
Dromore yesterday. Seven constables
were umbushed twice in quick ?ucces
Kon by civilian parties operating close
together. 0>ie of the constables was
?ounded uno two captured. The re
Maining constables secured military re?
inforcements, who pursued the am?
er toward the mountains.
An official report on the affray al
"ges that the civilians thereupon mur?
dered the two prisoners. The military
? orces encircled miles of the country
?"?tid fought the ambushers, a number of
'?"?horn were seen to fall in the bog, and
?j is believed many of them were killed.
Th? soldiers finally abandoned the pur
Sun.

Valera. the Irish republican lead

Eireann, or Irish Republican
Parliament, issued a proclama?
tion to-day stating that on the
Fourth of July the flag of the
United States will receiv? of?

This honor will be given, the
proclamation says, "in apprecia?
tion of the sympathy and aid
given our people by their friends

recognized symbol throughout,
the world of the principle for
which we are fighting, namely,
that governments derive their

Pershing Appeals
To War Aids for
Full Co-operatioo
Calls ?Jpon Bureau Chief & to
Emulate Spirit of Co-or?
dination That Made . the
Work Effective Abroad
From Th" Tribunt'n Washington Pureau
WASHINGTON. July 2.?The Persh
. ng-Harhord r?gime in the General
Staff of the army began to function
>v?th a snap to-day. when the chiefs of
the various bureaus of the staff and
directing heads of all the line branche?
were summoned to the office of the
chief of Ttaff to hear what was ex?
pected of them under the new Admin?
istration.
Serving in the capacity of Acting
Secretary of War as well, as chief of
staff of the army General Pershing
and his chief assistant, Major General
James G, Harbord, outlined to their
subordinate officers in the general staff
some of the policies which would be
followed.
General Pershing told the assembled
officers that he desired to put into im?
mediate operation the same spirit of
cooperation and coordination that feat?
ured the service of the General Staff in
France during the war. and he called j
upon all h:s subordinates to take meas- :
ures within their particular depart?
ments which would work for greater
efficiency. This policy of increased ef?
fectiveness in the War Department,
General Pershii.: said, was to be ex?
tended to include the organized re?
serves and the National Guard, in order
that the full military resources of the
country might become immediately
available in the event, of emergencies.
The Question of economy also was
touched on by General Pershing, who
declared that the Secretary of War ex?
pected every division of the military
establishment to be operated at a mini?
mum of cost. Attention was directed
to the provisions of the army appro?
priation bill, and officers were informed
that they would bo expected to keep
within the amount Congress had grant?
ed for maintenance of the military
establishment,
A reduction in the enlisted strength
of the regular army of at least 20,000
men is expected by General Harbord to
be accomplished this month as a re?
sult of the order of Secretary Weeks
to all commanders directing them to
authorize the discharge of all men who
make application during the month.
Secretary Weeks's order directs corps
division commanders to approve the
discharge papers of all applicants who
are not now serving sentences or arc
not under charges for infractions of
military discipline. No man will be
discharged, however, who is indehted
to the United States unless he has a
sufficient sum to his credit to cover tho
indebtedness.
General Harbord characterizes the
discharge order as marking an innova?
tion In military affairs, and said he be?
lieved that it would result in a large
decrease in every division of the
service,

Frenchman's Defeat
Disappoints London
LONDON. Julv 2 (By The Asso?
ciated Press).?The victory of Jack
Dempsey over Georges Carpentier
caused keen disappointment here, for
Carpentier had been a popular favorita
with the English because of his better
known personality, and public interest
was no less keen than if he had been
an Englishman.
Among the followers of pugilism,
ruled by judgment rather than by sen?
timent, Dempsey had by long odds the
strongest backing. Both Joo Beckett
and Bombardier Wells, the English
heavyweights, who went down to de?
feat before the French idol, before the
fight gave it as their opinion that
Dempsey should win. The letter's
additional remark, however, '"but all
ray heart is with Carpentier," typi?fd
the feeling of the general public.
The unbiased gave Carpentier "moro
than a sporting chance,"and predicted
a fierce. short duel. Thousands
watched the sky for the colored lights
from a giant airship announcing the
result, which similarly were shown
from the roof of a big department
store, while the theaters and picture
houses interrupted their shows to an?
nounce the American victory. Apart
from Americans in London, there was
little betting.
London's French quarter, Soho,
where Carpentier is a popular idol, was
plunged in gloom to-night.

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 2. ?Whether
! the Senate shall take a vacation for
j the next month or six weeks or shall
; keep on working is the subject of a
: controversy which has arisen amone;
' members of that body und which
threatens to become bitter next week.
Senate Republican leaders, with the
rupport of some of the Democrats, aie
st eking to put throucrh a program un
! der which the Senate cither would take
a series of three-day recesses or would
' adjourn until the Finance Committee
I ?3 ready to report the tariff bill,
i This plan is strongly opposed by the
; Republican and Democratic Senators of
the agricultural "bloc." The agric.ult
[ ural Senators declare that much im
i portant legislation demands attention,
! and they say they will resist adjour-n
1 ment or recess, and not only that, will
I carry the issue to the country if the
1 Senate halts in the business of law
'. riaking for any considerable time. They '
| charge the Senate leaders are seekinp
to kill off a number of measures r
vored by the farmers and in the ;
! interest, and are trying to do L;
I recess or adjournment until the tariff
j bill is taken up. when there will 1 no
' opportunity to consider cither legisla?
tion.
Needed Legislation Specified
The Senators of the agricultural
"bloc" asserted to-day they would op?
pose adjournments or recess until the
Senate, had passed credits legislation
to aid the farmers, the grain future*5 :
bill, the Norria bill for a farm export
'.inancing corporation and perhaps
| others. They want the packers' bill
j brought out of conference and finally
I passed.
On the other hand. Senators Lodge,
' Curtis and others of the Republican
steering committee conferred informal?
ly and decided to recess or adjourn
until late in July, when the tariff bill
will be sent to the Senate from the '?
House and then referred to the Finance
Committee. After that they purpose
to recess or adjourn through most of j
August.
Senator McCumber has been object?
ing to the Senate quitting until the
(soldiers' bonus bill is made the unfin?
ished business. The leaders are will?
ing to permit this to be done or, at
least, tried.
The champions of the maternity bill,
who have secured an agreement to dis?
pose of that bill on the tenth calendar
day after June 30, also are inclined to ?
oppose any plan for a long recess or
adjournment period.
House Won't Oppose Program
The Senate cannot adjourn for more !
than three days without the consent
of the House. However. Senator Lodge
has been told the House will not stand
in the way of a Senate adjournment
while it is considering the tariff bill.
Under discussion along with the
question of the legislative program
and whether to recess or adjourn, is
the much mooted problem of whether
to undertake tax revision ahead of
tariff. Senator Watson, of Indiana, is
still pressing his plan for tax revision
ahead of tariff. Other Senators, in?
cluding Chairman Penrose of the Fi?
nance Committee, say this is imprac?
ticable.
In connection with the talk of tax
revision ahead of tariff, details of tax
revision plans are being much talked
in an informal way among Senators.
One plan which some of the prominent
members of the Finance Committee
are advocting is an increase of the
postage rates, including an increase of
I the regular rate from two cents to
three cents and an increase of the
I one-cent rate on unsealed letters to
i two cents.

American Marines Land
At Ismid, in Asia Minor
Detachment Will Protect Coun?

PARIS, July 2. A detachment: of
American marines has been landed at
Ismid, a town uboui fifty miles south?
east of Constantinople in Asia Minor,
for the purpose of protecting Americans
there upon the retirement of Greek
troops, says a dispatch to the French
Foreign Office,
A small French detachment is at
If-mid, and it reports that a number of
bodies of Moslems, who were assas?
sinated before the departure of the
Greeks, have been found. The French,
h >W< ver, succeeded in saving t,000

'Your Frog Licked,'
Greeting Shouted to
Tardv French Liner
I Passengers Aboard Franco,
However, Knew Fate of
Idol Before Landing, Re
reiving Returns by Radio
i_
The French liner France from Havre,
j belated because of poor German coal,
arrived here yesterday after Carpentier
had been knocked out by Dempsey.
Excursion boats jammed to the rails
with merry-makers steamed in close to
her and shouted: "Your frog is licked.
Some frog!"
Passengers at the rail, many of them
French, understood what was said.
Others, who did not, inquired what the
Americans were shouting, and when in?
formed merelr shrugged their shoul
| ders and walked away. They knew all
! about what went on in Jersey City, for
the fight in detail was received aboard
the vessel by radio. There was an
j abundance of interest until the news
i oi' the telling fourth round was re??
? ceived, and that disposed of the affait
i aboardship. When the France docked
i at 7 o'clock last night there was littl?
i or no discussion of the defeat of Car
I pentier. For all the French on board
! it was a closed incident.
Two of the 172 saloon passenger?
; held tickets for the fight and had come
j here to attend it. When it was appar
ent that the France could not possiblj
j get to port in time for the big bout the
i holders sent radios to friends to u. i
I the tickets that had been reserved fo:
? them.
According to the passengers, a worn
I an manicurist was attending to the fin
gers of a woman passenger when th<
flash came aboard that Dempsey ha<
! been victorious.
i With, a shrill shriek of disappoint
j ment, the cuticle artist dropped into ?
bowl of water the fingers she had beei
attending and fled exclaiming: "No
| No! No! Eet ees impossible."
