LONDON', Feb. 16. (Hy tho A
aoclated Pregg.) Prediction that a

for a century, waa made by Wlnaton
S. Churchill, secretary for tho colo
nies In moving In tho noune cf com
mons today the second reading of the
Irlah free state bill. Such an occur
renco was not at all likely, however.
In the opinion of tho Dritlah govern
ment, he said.
LONDON, Feb. 16 (Ily Associated
Press.) Michael Collins' return to
Dublin after only twelve hours in Lon
don and hia admission that he waa
dissatisfied with the results of his con
ference with government officials here
are taken to mean that the British
evacuatkm of South Ireland will be re
sumed forthwith and continued unin
terrupted. This will relieve the situation of one
of its most serious features. No offic
ial explanation of the assurances given
Mr. Collins, however, , has yet been
made.
No troops have been moved from tho
south since Monday except 400 car
alryruen who embarked at Dublin for
Liverpool last night.
Notwithstanding declarations ' that
several kidnaped unionists were re
leased yesterday only three hare
reached their homes, according to lat

there is no relief In tension, pending
arrival of the others.
