Bring Warring Factions To-
gether PIungeS County
. Into Desperate Mood,
MONARCH INFORMED
OF PRESENT CRISIS

London, July "a. ~ Formal an
nouncement that the Buckingham
palace confeiees ON home rule could
not bridge the narrow differences
which separated the ulstcrites and the
nationalists On tho Irish home rule bill
was made TO King George today by
the speaker of the house of commons
the Right Hon. James Lowther, and
to the house Itself by Premier As
quith.

tempt To bring about compromise
was known on Wednesday, the fact
that the party leaders continued 60
discuss the question at issue kindled
faint hope throughout the country
that the deadlock might Yet be brok-
en-. The definite fan of the curtain
on the monarch's plan TO bring to-
gether I'm conference the men who are
most responsible for the present sem
sational crisis leaves the country In
a mood of deepest pessimism
No one attempts TO predict what
the next step may be after the failure
of this supreme attempt at eompro-
mise. No one sees any possibility OF
a settlement of the dispute unless II
be by the government appealing 20
vote Of the country through a gen
eral election and such a step would be
considered generally not a compro-
mise but surrender by Premier AS
quith's cabinet.

Gates how firm the deadlock was. The
usual official secrecy was maintained,
but It apparently was such secrecy as
the executive sessions of
the senate at Washington. for some
of the participants felt bound to tell
their nearest supporters what had oc-
Cured and the secrets have been dis
semnated through a widening circle. /
