DAIL EIREANN MEETS
IN SOLEMN SESSION
AND WITH OPEN DOORS
First Time in History of
Irish Fight Their Gov-
ernment Discard Sec-
recy—Say They Must
Have Complete Separ-
ation
(By Associated Press;
Dublin. August 16, (A. P.)—The
Irish Republican parliament met

sion In its history to consider the
peace terms of the British govern-
ment.
There were a hundred and thirty
members present Includent those
who had been released from
prison to pevnit of their attend-
ing the session.
A great audience crowded the
gallery floor as Eamonn De Val-
era. Republican leader, led the
members into the chamber.
In open session DeValera re-
iterated the claim of Ireland for
separation from Great Britain and
declared that the only govern-
ment the people recognized was
the ministry of Dail Eireann,
Irish Republican parliament.
He sa d that he and his col-
leagues had adopted towards
England the principle laid down
by Cardinal Mercer of Belgium
towards Germany, that external
authority is unlawful.
He said the Irish stood for the
ideals enthroned in the American
declaration of independence, and
declared t.h cabint did not think
the British proposals just.
. Dublin. Aup. 15.—Responsible sinn
feln leaders were optimistic over the
Irish peace outlook today.
A member of the sein fine cabinet
in commenting upon the declaration
of the Irish independent that "peace
i« still upon the horizon." said:
"Things are not so black as they
have been painted."
A full session of the sinn fain par
1 lament was held secretly at noon and
a meeting of the sinn fein cabinet
was arranged for the afternoon.
The formal session of dail eireann
tomorrow probably will last about
hours. Nothing of real Importance w II
J he discussed while the meeting is
i open to the public but later in the
i afternoon when the doers are closed
and spectators excluded the re;il
! business will he taken up. The private
' deliberations and the parliament pro
hahly will last till Thursday and a
I formal communique is expected Fri-
! day.
I An officer of the Irish republican
I army upon being asked if the armed
sinn fein forces would renew hostill-
ties if the peace negotiations hroae,
replied:
"If the peace negotations collapse
we will not resume warfare against
the Hritish unless we an* attacked. It
never was our policy to wage a war of
agjyesion. "We never attacked unless
we were attacked first."

Washington, Aug. 18.—The three
years' cjuestion of what kind of peace
treaties are to be arranged between
the United States and the former
central powers will he finally settled
in the near future.
The outstanding developments were
learned tonight in the question of
finally making peace with Germany,
Austria and Hungary:
1—The new peace treaty with Ger-
many. a separate treaty based on
the Versailes pact has been virtually
completed by Secretary of State
Hughes and it will be presented in
final form for signature by Germany,
• f this ha snot already been done.
2.—Secretary Hughes has already
begun negotiating treaties with Aus-
tria and Hungary, these also to be
soparate documents from the treaties
of St. German-en-Laye and Trianon,
the treaties entered into between the
Allies and Austria-Hungary, which
th United States signed but never
ratified.
By a strange coincidence and
stroke of fate both members of the
firm of Murray & Whitlock lost, their
automobiles by fire last night and
suffered the second robbery of their
store within a week.
Both members of the firm with a
number of friends went on a fishing
trip taking along their Stephens cars.
The Party stopped on Euchee creek
off the North Cushing road parking
their two cars close together. They
donned their bathing suits .and left
rheir clothes in their cars.
After fishing and swimming lor a
short time, some one noticed a big
fire in the direction of the cars. They
ran to the spot to see that one
was almost completely destroyed, and
the fire on the other had become tin
controllable. The gasoline tank on one
of the cars had exploded hurling gaso
line in all directions, so that it was
impossible to even try to check the
conflagaration.
How the fire started or gained a
headway in such a short time is a
mystery to the entire party. Every
one came to Drumright in bathing
suits.
When Murray & Whitlock opened
tli^ir place of business they found the
back door standing wide open
It is not known what the thieves
took from the stock .The money in the
cash register was untouched. The rob
bers had entered by breaking a pane
of glass and unlocking a back window
the same method that was used Sun
day night however the thief tha
worked Sunday night was captured.

GOVERNOR FEARS
FARMERS UNIONS
MAY ACT BADLY
It is believed that there will be
seme increase in the attendance this
year over last, according to school of-
ficials. Last year there were almost
two hundred more than the year be-
fore. Every year there has been an
increase. This year provisions are be-
ing made to accomodate a somewhat
larger body although there will not
be any more teachers than there was
last year.
It is impossible to give a definite
list of the teachers for next year. The
list will not be complete or accurate
nt il the day school opens it is said.
In the list given below when changes
are made the name of the teacher
who resigned is given after the name
of the new teacher.
ti is pointed out however, that many
of these positions will be changed
after Superintendent W. C. French
•eturns and before school opens. In
fact according to school officials,
his list is by no means final but is
