Plunket Joins Conference

London, July 6.-Sir Horace Plum
kett later Joined the conferees. This
gave rise to still further hopes of
favorable results from the conference
in view of Sir Horaces position in
Irish affairs.
The conference was surrounded
with the greatest secrecy, but it is
understood in well informed quarters
that it primarily confined itself to
plans for the ending of hostilities in
Ireland. Official circles express the
belief that secession of active OPP
erations is almost Indispensable to an
aid to progress in the peace delibera-
tions.
The feeling generally was that to-
days conference would have q marked
influence on the conversations to be
resumed in Dublin Friday between
Eamonn de Valera, the Republican
leader, and representatives of South
ern Irish unioniSts. Premier Lloyd
George presided over today's confer
ence.
