Last Barrier to Irish Peace Re-
moved by British.
UniOniStS Recede From Stand
on Ulster Unity.
WILL DISMEMBER PROVINCE
Sim Fein Had Made Demands
for PIebiScite.
Premier Lloyd George Cancels
Passage to Arms Farley.

London, Nov. 2.-The Irish peace
negotiations were once again on the
way towards happy solution this aft
made by the Ulster unionists which
promised to overcome the chief OBJ
stacles to an agreement.
Sir Edward Carson, former leader
of the Ulster unionists. acted as a me-
diary at the request of Premier Lloyd
George. 1t is understood that the
Ulsterites have agreed to the detach-
ment of the counties of Fermanagh
and Tyrone from the province. The
Sim Fein at Dublin had claimed those
counties on the contention of political
belief
Ulster Makes Sacrifice.
After the appeals of Premier Lloyd
George, Sir Edward Carson ap-
preached Sir James Craig, premier of
the unionist government at Belfast
and thru him appealed to the North
Ireland unionists ito sacrifice two
counties in a spirit of patriotism rath-
er than remain obdurate."
Stubbornness, the premier pointed
out. might plunge the nation into a
war in ireland which would undoubt-
edly last two years, costing nearly a
quarter of a million in lives and one
billion in dollars.
But more than this. the premier de-
clared, war in Ireland would endanger
British prestige abroad, especially at
this time when the armament confer
ence is assembling at Washington.
Lloyd George Is Victor.
Sir Edward Carson was convinced
by the premier's eloquent appeal and
undertook to convince the Ulster pre-
mier. Sir James Craig had already
learned of the intense eagerness of
King George for peace, even if con-
cessions had been made for it.
Before the prince of Wales sailed
on his trip around the world, he had
conveyed his fathers opinions to in
innate Tory friends of the Ulster pre-
i mier. Sir James relented from his
| "die hard" position especially as
Premier Lloyd George had promised
| to grant extra powers to the Ulster
parliament on condition that the
