CLOSE CAMPS TO AVOID STRIKE (By International News Service) PORTLAND, Ore., April 28.—A BRITISH AGREE TO U.S. RESERVATIONS (By H. K. Reynolds) WASHINGTON, April 28.—Great Britain is willing to accept any reasonable reservations which may be adopted by the senate in approving the entry of the United States into the international court of justice and has communicated this attitude to officials of the Harding administration, it was learned authoritatively today. Among these reservations will be a provision giving the British only one vote in the election of judges at Geneva, although the British Empire has six separate voices at the council table. This precedent was established at the Washington arms conference, and Great Britain is said to be ready again to accede to American wishes in this respect if American entrance into the court can thus be assured. Having been advised that responsible republican leaders can be lined up behind their proposal to take the United States into the court through adoption of compromising amendments to the original protocol, President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes have enlisted the aid of a number of noted international lawyers to draft suitable reservations. The American Society of International Law, which has been in session heir for the last week, is backing the Harding world court program, and members of this organization are expected to come forward with offers of assistance. Some reservations may go so far as to provide complete disentanglement of the court from the league of nations, but this is still undecided, as President Harding, by his latest utterances, has left the question wide open. Discussion of the world court situation in political circles here today centered around speeches delivered last night by Secretary of State Hughes and Senator Watson of Indiana. Hughes denied the United States would become involved in the league by entering the court, while Watson, speaking in Pittsburgh, declared that the republican party would not permit itself to be divided over the court issue.

Staff Correspondent) DUBLIN, April 28.—Completely ignoring Eamonn De Valera's armiece proclamation ordering the republican irregulars to cease hostilities Monday, free state military headquarters continued its activities today against the rebels. Free state troops in the west and south were ordered to continue their roundup of irregulars and 'to attack where the latter offer resistance. Home Minister Kevin O'Higgins was expected to give the government's reply to De Valera's proposals but it was announced that he was ill and would not make any statement. From semi-official sources, it was learned the minister's illness was "diplomatic" rather than physical. Officials of the free state government said the cabinet had not formally considered De Valera's peace offer because it was not addressed to the free state government. However, members of the government have debated it informally among themselves. It was considered likely the free state would demand the republican irregulars lay down their arms before permanent peace can be discussed. There were no signs of peace in this city throughout the night. Sniping was continued. At times the crackle of rifle fire was broken by the deeper note of a bomb explosion. So far as known there were no casualties. A band of nine republican irregulars surrendered to the free staters in Kerry. Three surrendered at Cork. Free state troops continue to make wholesale arrests of irregulars in the western counties. Belief is prevalent in some quarters that if the free state rejects the present offer, De Valera soon will come forward with new terms which will be acceptable. Free state officials said the government would stand by its original terms which are: 1. Republican irregulars must lay down their arms, pledge their loyalty to the free state government and promise to conduct their future political activities along constitutional lines. 2. A general election will be held to determine the will of the people as to the form of government.
