IRISH PEACE NEAR BREAK AS PREMIERS CONFER CRAIG MEETS LLOYD GEORGE AND STATEMENT IS DRAWN UP AS BREAK APPEARS IMMINENT ‘ann Fein Said to Be Firm in ‘. Decision Not to Swear Allegiance. ACH CRITICAL | STAGE. Delegates Leave for Ireland to Lay Developments Before Chiefs. LONDON, Nov. % (Associated Press). — Prime Minister Lloyd George and Premier Craig of Ulster met this morning in a conference which, according to the view held in oficial circles, marks one of the final stages of the Irish negotiations, con- eeded to-day to be verging on a break. It is understood that a statement @greed upon between the two Pre- miers has been drawn up. This state- ment, the understanding ts, will be read by the Ulster Premier in the Parliament of Northern Ireland next Tuesday and issued simultaneously \¥P in London. i} As the premiers went into confer- ence, it was admitted officially that Mine ‘Irish peace negotiations had reached a “grave and critical stage.” A prominent member of the Sinn Fein pore this out. | “The situation !s too serious for) talk,” he said. “Arthur Griffith, chael Collins and George Duffy (t! in Fein delogates) have gone to Dub- m to take council with Mr. De Va ra and the Dail Elreann Cabinet, and | td-receive instruction as to the attitude they are to adopt. They will return to! London on Saturday night to meet Mr. Lloyd George after he has received | Sir James Craig's reply.” “At to-day’s interview, Mr. 1c George was unable to give Ulster os- SQrance that, even if she agreed tu its proposal, the Sinn Fein wouid admit the. point of allegiance to the; King as King of Ireland. Such ad- mission has been refused by the Dal} Elreann representatives, who are d clared to view Ireland's position solely as that of an independent staic which, however, might make treaties | with the other states ot the Briusi! Empire and possibly even acknowl-} edge the King as the president of a federation of free sta ‘Phis is nothing like the settlement plan the British Government had in} mind, and i: appears that if the Sinn Fein maintains its attitude the nego- tiations must be broken off with the resumption of warfare an immediate Mi- possibility. } The interview between the Ulster Premier and Mr. Lloyd, George to-| day lasted an hovr, Sir James said upon leaving that he did not know| whether there would be another con- ference this afternoon, but that he was going to Belfast to-night.

It was rned later that Arthur Grifith would not leave on his trip to Dublin until to-night.

Dr. Rumwell was the first physic. in to give any detailed attention to Miss Rappe after the Arbuckie party. Ac- cording to McNab, Dr. Rumwell will testify that when he askea her the cause of her injury, she replied: “I guess I was a bit intoxicated.” Arbuckle was in a good mood as the trial was resumed. He joked with his friends, among whom was a delegation of actors ari actresses from Los Anegeles who want to tes- tify in his behalf Attorneys representing the big comedian will introduce testimony including inside details of parties in moviedom, testimony of medical and fingerprint experts, a story of the life of Virginia Rappe, and finally, it is for her fatal in- it was intimated, will put Arbuckle himself on the stand.

VERSAILLES, Noy. 25 (Associated Press)—The prosecution to-day con- cluded its case against Henri Landru and the defense began bringing for- ward witnesses in an attempt to dis- prove the contention of the state thut the “Bluebeard of Gumbuis" is gutity of the commission of eleven murders and the cremation of the bodies of his victims.

While ad- mitting the legality of the first search he in the presence of the accused, absolutely refused to recognize or cuss the second as legal, insisting that any exhibits produced as having been found on that date were not (x- istent as far as the defence was von- cerned. Landru appeared vemely weak te-day after his ordea! of examination yesterday. He appeared pale and careworn as he entered the dock this morning, but he saluted the jury as jauntily as ever. Throughout the trial of Landru which is now nearing the end of its third week, many prominent persons n French social life have attended from time to time. Among the spec- tators to-day was Prince Ahmed, brother to the Shah of Persia. Landru completely collapsed after he was returned to the Versailles Jail at the end of yesterday's session. “The whole world is against me. There is much ado about nothing,” said the prisoner.

IN ITS PEACE PLANS “I Believe the Conference Will End Happily,” Premier Says in Adieu, “FRANCE IS FAITHFUI.’ “If She Were Not, | Would Not Remain Premier,” He Asserts. Premier Briand, who headed the French delegation at the Arms Lim- itation Conference in Washington, sailed for his native land on the Paris to-day. . He was roundly cheered by his fellaw passengers as he came to the steamship pier and when he started up the gangplank. Kight mo- toreycle patrolmen and nine detec- tives formed his escort. At the pler with him to say goodby were Brig. Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Consul Gencral Gaston Liebert, Col. Henry D, Lindsley of the American Legion and many others. He received newspaper men in his stateroom after he had gone to one of the upper decks and been repeat- edly photographed. Early in this in- terview hé was asked whether France will follow her policies as laid duwn at Washington, “If France .were not faithful to them,” be replied. “I would not re- main Premier.” The French Premier was most op- timistic as to the outcome of the con- ference, “I believe it will reach a happy ending,” he said. “It will be a new source of glory to America to help establish the peace of the world. My service at the conference will be one of the best remembrances of my political career and serve to soothe the bitterness which goes with such a life. “If France has some rifles left she needs them to keep on the shelf, but she will never use them save for de- fense.” Returning once more to the confer- ence he sald, cryptically; “It may end very shortly or last a long time.” One of the last things Premier Briand said was that he had been agreeably surprised by the American newspaper men. He said he had been warned against them before coming to the country, but they had in no way borne out the warnings. “I used’ to be a member of the pregs,” he added. M. Briand said he wads delighted with America which, save for the language, reminded him of France in the welcome he had re- ceived ROTHCHILDS OFFER GERMANY CREDIT English Banking Firm Reposted Willing to Provide Upward of £15, 000,000.

Although M.

He called attention *o the fact that [Mr. Arthur Balfour at the last plenary session of the Limitation of Arma- ments Conference admitted that. the condition of. France is exceptional. Mr. Briand sald: “I do not wish to reply to Lord Curzon's statement for the reason that I haven't the official text. I do not quite however, what intercet there can be for friends and allies to argue with one another in the very moment when they are trying at | Washington to assure the peace of the world. It is primarily between them that peace ought to exist. I shall pin my faith on the words of Mr, Bal- four pronounced at the last public ssion of the conference, when he solemnly recognized, as did all the other delegates, that the situation of France in Burope was exceptional land that she had need to tuke pre- cautions for her security. “As regards disarmament France will have gone as far along this road as any other country without excep- tion, In effect on land, in spite of the dangers which she undergoes, she has already spontaneously reduced her metropolitan army by a third. Im spite of the law which keeps three classes with the colors, there are actually only two. FurtBermore, the Government has Introduced a bill into Parliament which reduces the period of service by half, and in consequence the number of effectives in the same proportion. “It is much more than the other nations will do as regards navies, since the naval reductions envisaged do not exceed 40 per cent. “And this—that France, which has 60,000,000 subjects tn her colonies, whose coasts are on three seas, which consequently needs a navy, has seen her fleet of capital ships reduced by the effects of the war from three squadrons to a single squadron. She is prepared on this ground to realize }and accord with her friends. and allies for the same proportional re- duction, “Consequently, in the sum tetal of her forces—of national defense, land army and sea army—it can be said that France will have made an effort at reduction superior to that of any other nation, and merit will be greater because she is in veritable danger. Our English friend ought to recognize the fact that the German fleet is at the bottom of the sea, and that conse- quently it is no longer a menace, either for England or for us. But the |seven million men of the German armies are still very much alive and available.
