EVENTUAL SOLUTION OF
 TIE IRISH PROBLEM
David Lloyd George Has Utmost
 Confidence In It.

London, July 28, TOO D. m.-'T don't despair about an eventual soIu- ton of the Irish problem, in spite of the recent failure to reach an agreement between the NationaIists and the Unionists," said David Lloyd George today.
 He was replying to a request from The Associated Press for his views on the breakdown of the negotiations for putting the Irish home rule act into effect immediately.
 We achieved at least one thing that had never hitherto been acomp- Gshed," continued the British war secretary. We brought the repre- sentatives of the Irish Nauonaists and the Ulster UniOnists to the point of shaking hands, instead of shaking fists at each other.
 MT Lloyd George, acting as the chosen arbitrator in the century-Old Irish controversy, had succeeded in so far modifying the opposing fac tiOns that he had brought them with in measurable distance of reaching an agreement Then Nr. Lloyd George said in a tone of regret today, fate interVened, as it had so often done be- fore in Irish affairs and at the last moment a breach occurred.
 The secretary for war. however is still full of optimism regarding the Irish difficulty. He feels about this problem as about everything else he undertakes-that a solution can be reached; and it is his intention to strive on until he is successful.
