MAY CONFER ON
IRISH QUESTION
Preparation for Review of
Volunteers i'm Belfast
Today Complete

London, September 26.-The prospect.
of a conference between members of the
liberal and unionist parties on the Irish
question have improved considerably dur
ing the last three days, according to the
Nation. which says It is now almost GER
tain the conference ultimately will be
held.
A significant point in this direction was
the visit paid to Belfast today by James
Bryce, former ambassador to the United
States, and at one time chief secretary
for Ireland.
1t is generally believed that the Ulster
question was considered at Brodick Bay,
Scotland, by Premier Asquith and David
Lloyd-G George, chancellor of the ex-
chequer who cut short his continental
holiday to meet the premier.
Henry w. Massingham, editor of the
Nation, declares in his paper that he
sees nothing but childishness in such
rebellion as has been reflected in Sir Ed
ward Carson's speeches.
There is no concealment," says MIR.
Masslngham. Even IL the government
We're not fully informed, which they are,
they could get all the knowledge they
require merely by asking"
The preparations for tomorrow's great
review of the volunteers in Belfast are
complete. All the brigade staff and regi-
mental officers for the four regiments
have been named and Sir Edward Carson
is said to he sufficiently recovered from
his indisposition to receive the homage
of his followers from the reviewing
stand.
Sunday being the. anniversary of Ulster
Day special services will be held in most
of the churches in the Protestant dis
tricts.
