DEVALERAAGREES TO IRISH PEACE By United Press LONDON, Feb. 14. —Eamonn De Valera has accepted William Cosgrave's proposal that the rebels cease fighting and leave the question of Free State or republic to a plebiscite, according to the Daily Mail’s Dublin correspondent. The Free State president advanced the suggestion In a recent interview with the United Press. “Let England remove the threat of war and pledge herself to abide by the results of the plebiscite on the question of republic or Free State,” De Valera replied, according to the Mail. “We are willing to accept the result. Irishmen will never dis-estab-lish the republic and accept the treaty of their own will, if this question can be tested.” "77” FOR GRIP Get Well Quick To get well quickly, dissolve the pellets in water, study the directions around the vial.
