Washington, Dec. 5. - Absolute
confidence prevails among the high
est officials of the United States
government that the Japanese cabi-
net at Toxic will approve the Amer
ican naval program as recommend
ed by the Japanese delegation fol-
lowing the conference between Sec
retary Hughes, Arthur Balfour and
Baron kato on Friday
The situation will remain un-
changed for at least three or four
days while the lengthy cablegrams
sent by the japanese delegation
early today journey to Toxic over
the slow cable routes of the Pa
Cific.
Cables Delay Reply.
Those who have been unable to
understand the apparent slowness
of the negotiations at Washington
need only make inquiries concern
ing the exact time that it takes to
get d reply from Toxic by cable in
these days of congested communi-
cation. In the first place, the Jap
anese put their messages in code
To put a cablegram of ordinary
length in code takes several hours
To encipher a message describing
in detail so important a conference
as that which Messrs. Balfour
Hughes and kato had on Friday
probably took most OF Friday night
rhe cable experts say that in or
dinary times it takes at least sc
hours for a reply to be obtained to
a message to Toxic. While Japan
ese government messages are gwen
preference, the chances are it will

u. S., BRITAIN,

PLAN ALLIANCE
Draft of 'QuodrupLe
Entente Is Under
Consideration.

Washington, Dec. 5.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-The draft of a
QuadrupIe entente, which would
serve as a substitute for the Anglo
Japanese alliance, it was learned
today from authoritati tive sources,
is now under consideration by the
the governments of the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France.
Explains Jap Delay.
This is said to explain the delay
of the Japanese government in an
nouncing its decision concerning
the question of the ratio of the ma
tional tonnage, until it appears that
the department of warship tonnage
is connected with national policy,
the two matters are being discussed
together.
There was a growing impression
today that if the entente cam be
worked out satisfactorily Japan
would not insist on her request for
a 20 per cent ratio Of capital ships
as against the 90 per cent suggest
ed in the American proposals.
Special Interest in France.
The inclusion of France in the
preliminary negotiations for the
entente has attracted special in
terest. 1t has not been disclosed
whether the terms of the proposed
agreement would be of a nature to
satisfy France with reference to
her situation in Europe. or whether
J,,S
ional accord affecting the far east.
1t is understood that the draft OF
the entente has been prepared with
special reference to the United
States constitutional system under
which the senate has the treaty
making power.

ERIN PEACE
CONFERENCE
HITS ROCKS
Farley Breaks Down; Sim
Feiners VIII Return
Home.

London, Dec. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The Irish peace ne
gotiations have broken down, &C
cording to statements in respon-
sible quarters today and the Dail
Eireann delegates are expected to
return finally to ireland tomorrow
or Wednesday.
On the governments side, it was
indicated, the argument will be that
the refusal of the Sim Fein to ac-
cept allegiance to the king made an
agreement impossible, since that
condition was insisted upon by the
British and in addition, an essen
tial preliminary step to securing
any assent from Ulster.
The truce still remains in effect,
and no immediate resumption of
ho%tilities is looked for.
The Irish Sim Fein delegates
visited Downing street at o'clock
this afternoon. 1t is understood
that they conferred with the gov
ernment representatives concern
ing the question of continuing the
truce.
IIemleF NOnSuIlS hlHB.
London, Dec. 5.-CBy the Asso-
Ciated Press. 1.-The Irish peace ne
gotiations held the exclusive at
tention of official circles today
Premier Lloyd George obtained an
audience with King George and ex-
planned the situation to him, after
which the British peace represent
atives held conference. This was
followed by a meeting of the entire
cabinet.
The Irish delegation yesterday in
formed Premier Lloyd George that
the governments latest proposals
were unacceptable to the Dali
kireann cabinet. Another meeting
between the Sim Fein peace dele
CATION and a British committee was
arranged for today.
Craig Time Limit Up.
The time limit set by Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, for the. sub
mission of a further plan by Pre-
mier Lloyd George expires tomor-
row.
Sir James is to address the Ulster
parliament tomorrow and, should
no new terms be forthcoming, he
is expected to announce the peace
negotiations at an end.
Should this occur. the British
position would be thrown back to
the stand taken by Mr.. Lloyd
George before the negotiations op-
ened more than five months ago
that British law must be main
tanned in Ireland, even through the
use of artillery.
Will Truce Endure!
How far the present truce would
endure under such conditions is
conjectuaL Thus far there has
been no agreement for extension ol
the truce.
The newspapers generally regard
the situation with grave anxiety
but while a tone of pessimism runs
through many of the comments
hope is not everywhere abandoned
The optimists point out that as Ions
as the negotiations are not dehn
itely broken off there is a possibil
ity of ultimate settlement

east committee of the Washing

OF the question of use of wire
less installations in China by
the powers by adopting the ten
tative plan presented last week
by Elihu Root of the American
delegation.
Under this plan, which will
be reported back to the main
committee at its next meeting,
use of wireless would be re-
stricted TO diplomatic and gov
ernmental messages, those in
StaliatiOns which were per-
