ROSPECTS of an Irish truce, P wnicn last night were gen- erally regarded as having receded almost out of sight, have been revived, according to a late edition of the Daily Mail, as a result of a private inter- view between Mgr. Patrick Jo- seph Clune, Bishop of Perth, and Premier Lloyd George yester- day. The Archbishop, the news- paper declared, conveyed to Lloyd George what, in effect, was a message from Michael Collins, commander of the Sinn Fein army. The Daily Mail quotes the Pre- mier as saying: “It may definite- ly be stated that prospects for settlement are much brighter than they appear on the sur- face.”’ Similar information is printed by the London Times.

H» told of meeting Dr. Rumely in Chi- cago, where the defendant laid be- fore him a plan to acquire a news- paper in New York that would be unbiased in its publication of war news. At that time, said Nagel, Rumely explained to him Germany's Advanced industrial and agricultural policies, saying he intended to play u pthe high ideals embellished in the’ German methods. “I told him I could not help him financially,” the wit- ness said, “but I was deeply im- pressed with iis plan.” Name of Busch Camc Up. “The name of Augustus ~ Busch came up during the interview,” Mr. Nagel continued, “and I told him in .
