upon a truce between the rival
army forces beginning at 4 p. m.

point to the arrangement of a
plan for unity which ' the Dall
Eireann can accept tomorrow.
De Valer Stronger ,

provement In the position of Ea
monn pe - Valera, and Jiia follow
ers who would bei given a chance
to. share In the portfolios of the
dial cabinet. '
Likewise the dissent army rep
resenting the De Valeraltes would
coalesce with the official general
headquarters and its generals
would i resume their high ' com
mands lathe regular body.

Moreover, De Valera'a persist

testa, labor being a due share In
the new body. This instead of
displacing The Dail In 'June,
would give' it a new lease of life
during "the transition period,
which, however, must end before
next December, since the Anglo
Irish treaty proscribes that ' free
state elections "shall be held with

the treaty. .
These concessions already have
been virtually secured to De Va

Michael Collins and Richard Mul

cation, Presbyterian Church of
the United States. The command
ments point out man's duty to
animals and are published with a
view toward minimizing useless
cruelty and killing. .
The commandments are:
1- Thou shait aot deal crueliy
witn the creatures of God's crea
tion, placed under tby dominion.
nut in Kindness, Juse hnd mer
cy shait thou administer thy
guardianship over beast, blrj and
cattle seeking to serve In tbe spi
rit of thy Craator.
2 Thou shait not delight thy
sell In graven Images but rather
in tender mercies to those who de
pend upon thy guardianship. Thou
shait not lay blame or punish
ment unwarranted and who have
no means of asserting their
rights, .wherefore tbou are to
them the adjudicator of right
eousness In their midst; for the
Lord thy God is a Jealous God,
remembering thy unfaithfulness
and thy cruelties to all Hi crea
tures and visiting the errors -of
thy way upon thy children down
through the generations, in that
thou has set a bad example unto
them and hast by word and .deed
led them to disrespect justice and
mercy In dealing with defenseless
creatures.
3 Thou shait not curse thine
cattle nor Inflict vengeance upon
any of God's creatures for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless
Who disregards his creation.
4 Remember the sabbatical
rights of God's creatures aid
practice them sacredly. Every
beast of burden and every ani
mal In thy service "shall have its
days and fitting seasons of rest
whereby the drudge of toil in thy
service may be comfortably min
gled with the joy of living. With
reason ; and consideration thou
shait assign their tasks and with
equal care thou shait provide
food, rest, succor, mercy and
those things which make for the
natural' Joy of living.
5 Honor and ' respect thy
guardianship over the animals
which hare been thy faithful ser
vants and desert them not in an
evil day; for by so doing thou
mayest prolong thy days and In
crease thy Joys in the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee.
6 Thou shait not kill, for the
Joy of killing; for the sport of
killing;" for contest in skill; or
for selfish gain. For the right
eous man regardeth the life of
his beast.
Y--Thou shait not commit
thyself to the lusts of bloody con
tests nor seek to look upon the
cock-tight, the live pigeon shoot,
the bull-fight and all such atro
cious acta. -
8 Thou shait not steal, de
stroy," nor take unto thyself sel
fishly or wantonly that which be
longs to the comfort and needs
of thy animals. " '
9 Thou shait not bear false
witness for paltry gain to thyself
whereby God's creatures suffer
hunger, anguish or tortured Let
the testimony of thy guardian
ship be above thy lust for gain.
10 Thou shait not covet the
bird's plummage, nor the ani
mal's fur;' thou shait not covet
the robin's nest nor her young
by her side, nor the pigeon the
freedom of the air, nor the deer

North Sea or the Baltic is free of

It Is not at all uncommon for
fishermen to catch mines in their
