LAST EFFORT TO
BRING PEACE TO
THE IRISH MADE
Lloyd George Tells Craig OF
Sim Fein Refusal to
Swear Allegiance
to Crown

London, November 25.-What is
feared to be the last scene in the eff
fort to bring peace TO Ireland was
enacted today when Prime Minister
Lloyd George and Sir James Craig
met in the formers official residence
in Downing street, where the imper-
ial premier told the head of the
northern government that Sim Fein
Ireland had not consented to own
allegiance to the king, prereaui-
site to listers agreement to enter
an all-Ireland parliament.
The Sim Fein delegates are con-
sulting with members of the Dali
cabinet in Dublin on the crisis thus
brought about. \ while Sir James
packed his bag and returned TO Bel
fast, where he will report to his
Parliament next Tuesday and possibly
disclose the cause of the virtual
breakdown of the Irish negotiations
The official correspondence that has
passed between the various delega-
tions also may be published at the
same time in London.
Continue Efforts
Weekend efforts meanwhile will be
made by peacemakers In an attempt
to persuade Sim Fein to modify its
attitude on the question of allegiance
to the King. The Dali Ereann mem
bers have taken the oath of allegiance
to the Irish republic and thus far
they have refused to substitute for It
recognition within Ireland OF King
George. The furtherest concession
from the Sim Feiners has been their
Willingness to recognize the King as
the formal president of the commu-
nifty of free nations. which Ireland
might choose voluntarily to join. but
even this was not definitely promised
Lord Chancellor Birkenhead and
Attorney General Hewart, law Of
hcers Of the crown, have ransack ed
the constitution of all the British
domains to find any precedent for the
only kind OF relationship with the
British crown that Sim Fein viii
consider, but nothing can be found
and the Evening News. the first Lon
don new spaper to indicate the real
cause of the crisis. suggests that the
relations of Bavaria with Prussia in
the German empire might furnish
such a precedent
Mr.. Lloyd George, II was nm
derstood, would not admit of any
arrangement that would leave
Ireland's allegiance to the crown
IN any d0uDt ana the government
would support Ulster In refusing
amy association which would
weaken it's British citizenship.
Sim Fein
The only prospect for peace nov is
said to rest on Sim Fein's conceding
allegiance to the crown and the in
fluenoe of the advocates of modera-
tion has been invoked in final eff
fort to change it's position The Ques-
ton is being put as to whether the
point involved Is worth renewed
warfare. for breakdown of the ne
gotiations on that issue is believed
would be followed, either before or
after the general election by the
handing over of Ireland to military
rule and the displacement of the CT
william officials in Dublin castle, to
whose influence is attributed the pre-
vious failure OF military measures.

simultaneously. a bulletin was is
sued stating that the emperor's men
tai condition was such as to preclude
his further attention to state duties,
traceable to an affliction of his in
fancy. II added that there was no
serious development in his physical
condition.
According to Ikebe. chief physician
to Emperor Yoshito, his condition has
changed little since last October. Re-
straint of speech and nervous debi;-
ity are declared by the physician to
be his chief ailments.
The Emperor continues the eccen-
triclties which have marked his con
dition, but DR. .Ikebe says they are
not so frequent as formerly. He re-
quires assistance only in mounting
stairs. His appetite does not show
signs of serious decline. While there
is no prospect of prompt recovery
there is no reason to look for an
aggravation of his condition in he
near future
The Emperor and Empress, II is ex.

us. NAVAL HEADS
SEE NO REASON
TO CHANGE RATIO
Japan Wishes to Retain the
Battleship "Mutsu" and
Another Capital Chip
Americans Object
--7--'777777s''77'7777s''7777~
By A Press

Washington, November 25.-De-
spite supplemental estimate to sup
port japanese claims for a higher
naval tonnage ratio than proposed in
Secretary Hughes naval limitation
plan, American naval experts, it was
asserted today on authority, find no
reason to revise their original esti-
mate of the relative naval strength
of the three powers. That estimate
SO far as Japan is concerned is re-
Elected in the 1913" ratio, proposed
by the United States; while Japan is
understood to claim that the ratio
should be approximate 10-10-7.
Details of the Japanese naval argu-
nent have been turned over to the
naval experts of the five powers con-
sidering such questions for the in
formation of the delegations. The
naval men will not get together again
in general conferences. however, until
next week
The Toxic data follows closely the
line of argument already presented
by the Japanese officers here in chal-
longing the accuracy of the American
estimate of existing Japanese naval
strength. In stating his proposal
Secretary Hughes named as one of
the general principles under which
it was worked out the necessity of
general adherence to relative strength
of the existing naval forces in pro-
viding for the immediate reduction
proposed. 1t is on this point that
the experts are comparing data and
seeking TO reach agreement.
Most of their work is done through
exchange of documentary tabulations
and expositions of the situation.
The immediate desire OF the Jap
anese delegation is understood to be
to provide for retention by Japan of
the new battieship Mutsu and one
other capital ship yet to be COM
pleted. American naval opinion has
been strongly against any agreement
which would permit this without re-
tention by the United States of a
proportionate equivalent in new
ships slated to be scrapped under the
Hughes plan. No definite indication
OF the British attitude has been given,
but it has been pointed out that IL
both other powers We're permitted to
enlarge their retained fleets the Brit
ish must of necessity build new craft
to maintain their present preponder-
ance. The British delegation is I'M
derstood not to favor such a course.
The original arguments of the Jap
anese experts as to Japan's right to
more capital ship tonnage in proper
ton to the other powers that Secre-
tary Hughes plan provide for were
based, II is known, on a series Of re-
capitulations of existing building and.
projected Japanese tonnage. Viewed
from any of these angles, the Japan
csc experts argued the Japanese navy
came closer to standing at 20 per cent
OF the American strength than the
ev per cent provided for by the
Hughes plan

MR.. DARRACOTT
THANK HIS FRIENDS

Charlie Darracott, who met with
such a serious accident Christmas
night, is out again and during his en-
forced rest he went over to Athens
to spend a few days with relatives,
returning to Abbeville today. Mr..
Darracott thinks there is a bright
side to even a seriously injured hand
for he has enjoyed the many lovely
attentions shown him and the sub
stantial assurances of the warm
friendship felt for him. The young
men around town who were engaged
in the sham battle with him Christ
mas night dubbed together and paid
all his hospital bills, which was a
courtesy greatly appreciated by Mr..
Darracott and he asks US to extend
his heartfelt thanks to them and to
assure them that their kindness will
live always in his memory.

GOOD MUSIC.

The music at the Baptist church in
connection with the special services
is of an unusually high order, and is
attracting large crowds. The director
of the music is Mr.. w. Plunkett Mar
tin, of Lynchburg, Virginia, one of
the leading evangelistic singers of the
Southern Baptist convention. Not
only the solos sung by the director,
but the chorus which is directed by
him renders the most beautiful and
impressive song service.
A special chorus is now being train
ed for service Thursday night, and
this chorus will be assisted by spe-
cial male quartet Friday evening.
Lovers of good music will be greatly
pleased with the song service at, all
the meetings, especially the evening
services.
Morning services begin at II
o'clock, and the evening hour is half
past seven.

Hughe. May Head Cabinet

Marion, O., Jan. 11.-President-
elect Harding's cabinet selections
now hinge upon so many uncertain
elements that some of his conf
dants believe he may postpone the
announcement of all but one ap-
pointment until just before inaugu-
ration.
The one place regarded as most
likely to be scratched off the doubt
full list in the near future is that of
Secretary of State, for which
Charles Evans Hughes, Of New
York, still is said to be uppermost
in Mr.. Harding's mind. It is under
stood, however, that no definite
word has reached here that Mr..
Hughes will accept and so that ap-
poiTtment too, may be delayed.
y Regarding all of the other port
fohos in the cabinet the President
elect still is concocting opinions and
taking counsel. Two of the appoint
ments which he is said to have seri-
ously considered announcing early
in the New Year, those of Secretary
of the Treasury and Secretary Of
Agriculture were involved in con-
Fences he held today
Mayor Thompson Heard
Mayor William Hale Thompson of
Chicago who has been quoted as
vigorously opposing the suggested
appointment of Charles G. Dawes,
of that city, as Secretary of the
Treasury, was one of those who
talked cabinet with Mr.. Harding
during the day. Afterwards Mr..
Thompson would mention no names
and said the cabinet talk had been
more or less general.
