IRISH PEACE.

DRAMATIC EVENTS SOON. HOPES OF PERMANENT SCHEME. THE PREMIER DELIGHTED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 8, 11.45 p.m. London, May 8. The Sunday Express states that dramatic developments are possible in the next month in the direction of permanent peace in Ireland. Powerful influences are still working towards peace. Lord Derby is continuing Ins inquiries secretly. Sir Edward Carson remains in politics for a few weeks before joining the Appeal Court Bench, in the hope that he may help to secure a settlement.

Mr. Lloyd George, at Maidstone, said he was delighted that Sir James Craig and De Valera had met and discussed Ireland’s future. He could not say what might ensue, but it was a good sign that they were able to discuss things together.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.

DE VALERA’S VIEWS. A CONCILIATORY TONE. THE FEELING OF ULSTER. Received May 8, 5.5 p.m. London, May 7. De Valera writes in a conciliatory tone to the Irish Independent. He says: “We shall never cease to maintain there is community of interest between our countrymen in the north-east corner of Ireland and our people in the’ south and west. We believe Ulstermen, in spite of their misunderstandings and prejudices, which are mostly artificially created, look upon Ireland as their country, and in their hearts cherish the Irish name. Ulster felt profoundly in the eighteenth century her unity with Ireland. and shall do so again. May that day be soon.”—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. Received May 7,5 A p.m. London, May 7. Sir James Craig, speaking at Holywood, hoped the expectations for an immediate peace might not prove too high. The first step was always most difficult, but he did not believe a big man would refuse to take the first step when so much was at stake.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

MURDER CAMPAIGN CONTINUES. POLICE PARTIES AMBUSHED. Received May 8, 11.5 p.m. London, May 7. Thomas Collins, an ex-serviceman, was fatally shot at Youghal, County Cork, after leaving a dance at the military barracks.

A police patrol was ambushed at Newton, Tipperary. Sergeant Kingston was killed.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
