London, Dec. 4th.-The Irish confer
ence reassembled in Downing Street this
afternoon to discuss the latest phrases of
the Irish situation, Those present were
Mr., Lloyd George. Mr.. Austen Chamber
lain, Viscount Birkenhead and Sir Robt.
Horne, representing Great Britain, and
Arthur Griffith, RObt. Barton and George
Gavan Duffy. representing the SihnFein-
ers. The general impression of the stu
alton after the meeting was a very
gloomy one. The Irishmen submitted
the result of the Dali Eireanns examina-
ton of the latest proposals of the Gov
eminent, and pointed out where they
were unacceptable. They had sad no
more on Thursday night than that the
proposals required full consideration,
and had not yielded any points in dis
pute. The meeting of the Dali Fir
eann cabinet in Dublin on Satur-
day emphasized the principles in

difficulty, according to those in close
touch with him. is that he cannot ask VI
ster to agree to any terms which British
opinion would not endorse. He is firm in
the sand that the allegiance question
cannot be abandoned or ca%moufaged, and
this it is said, has proved the most insup-
cradle of all the obstacles to a settle
ment. The proposal that the King might
be recognized as. head of the British
Federation of Free States, but no King
of Ireland, was objected TO by the Brit
ish Ministers. 1t was declared that it
would he secuted by Ulster and would
not be ineligible to the British electors.
An attempt .Jas made to dev sc some
form of allegiance the Sim Fem might
accept, but this apparently proved an

rights japan contends she has inherited,

students staged another demonstration
today, prior to the Shantung meeting,

Reported plans of the British delegates

interrupted here as indicating their re-

binding and final, because of the posi-

that the proceedings Of the Washington
