tia of the British ministry the Sunday Times says that Premier
Lloyd George has decided to offer another olive branch to treland,

been carried to the farthest extent possible ahd that treland can-
not indefinitely be kept under military occupation.”

The Times says that the Premier has sounded certain labor
eaders on the subject of co-operation, but they have definitely

declined, “hence,” it adds, “the
