the church, mostly upon confession
of their. faith; that the Sunday
school had had a large increase in
membership. and that the spirit of
good will and Christian fellowship
permeates the church. A new year

GRANT EXTENSION
Continued from Pane Qnel

and NJ. Poincaire. The latter always
has ben solid for the Versailles treaty
and, as much as France is known to
desire a pact to replace the tri-part
convention including the United
States which was contemplated in
the original peace negotiations, Poin-
care, like BRAND. will have to count
with the extreme nationalist views.
Doubts are entertained here whether
the nationalists will accept the stip-
ulations Mr.. Lloyd George imposes
as necessary preliminaries to a con-
clusion Of the pact.
For these reasons it is considered
quite possible prolonged and different
negotiations may ensue before an
agreement is reached.
Speculation here still turns on the
effect the developments will have on
the contemplated general election.
The possibilities of elections in Egg
land and France at almost the same
time are being discussed. as it is re-
gardej possible that the Poircare
minintry may be short lived. The
French crisis made February cleo
tons in England impossible, but now
that it IL seen the arrangements for
the Genoa conference will proceed.
opinion is veeing. The importance
which Mr.. Lloyd George attached to
this conference is seen in the state
ment he made to the newspaper men
at Cannes today, when he declared he
believed the conference would sue
coed and added:
Eve want to see America at
Genoa"
The view held in political cir-les
here is that Mr.. Lloyd George has
been subjected to humiliation by the
fat refusal Of the conservative party
organizers to fail in with his idea Of
February elections. and that he will
be only too willing to adhere to his
plan, if there is no hitch in the Gen.
GA arrangements, II, only to regain
the prestige lost through the action
Of the organizers. Hence today opin-
ion for and against February dis
solution of parliament were about
evenly divided.
Lord Carson in a public speech at
Canterbury tonight declared that Mr..
Lloyd George. having swallowed up
the Unionists leaders, wanted to APP
peal to the country Immediately. as
he knew Ahe conservative party haA
no leaders.

IRISH TREATY
CONTINUED from Paue One)

II promises to be somewhat perfume
tory ceremony.
A chairman viii: be elected, the
treaty formally ratified and a pro-
visional government established. Mr..
Griffith and the members of The new
cabinet, according to present plans
will comprise the provisional govern
ment.
With the establishment Of the pro
visional government will be complicst-
ed and laborious task of transferring
authority from the British to the
Irish government. All the members
Of the cabinet conferred at Mansion
House, discussing not only stheir flu
ture duties and the responsibilities Of
the provisional government, but the
immediate necessity for dealing with
the threatened strike Of the railway
men.
Representatives Of the ministry Of
labor were called in by the cabinet
and the situation fully canvassed with
a view to averting a general stoppage
Of the country's main transportation
facilities. No official statement was
issued. but 1t is reported that the hope
is entertained that accommodation be
provided by which extreme action on
the part Of the railwaymen will be
avoided for the present, at least. The
Dublin newspapers are unanimous in
saying it would be a bad omen for the
new government If, on the very day Of
its coming into being, such blow were
dealt at the vitals Of the nations
prosperity and peace.
Preparations for the evacuation of
Dublin castle and the withdrawal of
the military forces are said to be COM
plete. The first contingent Of the aux
Hilary forces were withdrawn tonight in
quiet and orderly fashion, and numer-
Gus contingents Of other cadets and
OF the military have received orders
to depart within the next "A hours
Movements of troops on a large scale
will take place next week.
1t is understood that about the same
number Of auxiliaries win leave ire
land each evening during the next week
as departed tonight. Early next week
so members Of the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary recruited from outside Ire
land will return to England each eve
ming for about fortnight. This means
that 1900 auxiliaries and 200 black
and tans will leave Dublin within the
next fortnight.
The release Of Irish political pris-
oners from Irish jails continued today.
Those liberated from English and
Scottish prisons are expected to arrive
in Kingstown tomorrow.
