The reply may some time during the night, but, until it arrives, matters relating to ment are at a standstill. As a result of this delay more than the usual amount of guessing is being one by those attached to the conference. The customary wild rumors are having a merry time. No sooner is one rumor proved false than another rises to take its place. All day the propagandist, too, has had his opportunity, Persons in close touch with the British authorities state that as soon I China, i as the Tokio reply is received the big ings to outstanding work of the conference! effect will be concluded. Only a plenary | can play her par meeting will be required to provide it with its dramatic effect, before the world. Providing the Tokio reply is what they assume it will be, these authorities say three things will result. These three things have 'been dealt with in a rather vague way before, but on Thursday were made reasonably clear. They are: (1) The naval disarmament will take the form of a treaty between Britain, United States, Japan, France and Italy. (2) An entente will be arranged between Britain, United States, Japan and France by an interchange of diplomatic notes, and not by treaty. (3) A declaration, perhaps known as the Declaration of Washington, will be published, setting forth all agree- for the future of g for future meet-se agreements into hina shows that she ments made 1 Greenwood's Part in Irish Settlement A despatch from London says: The pen with which the Irish treaty was signed has been presented by Lloyd George to Lady Greenwood in recognition of the share her husband, Sir Hamar Greenwood, had in laying the foundation- of the Irish peace.
