If plenipotentiaries to the conference are to be appointed, as was suggested in Premier Lloyd George's letter, delivered to Mr. De Valera last night, it is under- stood that in_order to give them greater authority thelr names should be submit- ted to a full meeting of the Dail Eireann, Consequently, members of that body have Leen remaining in Dublin expecting the summons to attend the parliament meet- ing.

The fire cone tinued as the party jumped on the deck. Then the fight started. Finally reinforcements arrived.
