The Irish situation occupies much
space in the morning newspapers
which express varied opinions regard
ing the seriousness of the new home

The Daily Telegraph expresses the
belief that all present difficulties VIII
be adjusted. The Daily Express, now
ever. takes an opposite view. saying:
David Lloyd Georges home-rule neso-

The unionist members of the cabinet
have reached the conclusion that the

I'm Ireland the negotiations are going

of Mr. Lloyd Georges suggestions re-
sarding the formation of a home rule
parliament Is that thirty seats in the
irish house of commons be given to
representatives of the Irish landown-
ing and commercial classes The
Ulster party in the English house of

attempt being made by the English
unionists to upset the settlement. The
Earl of Selborne. president of the board
of agriculture; Walter Hume Long,
president of the local government
