HUNDAX, U?iUiUaiDr<tv iv, ivc BRITISH PRIME MINISTER TEL1 OF NEGOTIATIONS OF IRIi AGREEMENT IN LONDC WHILE DAIL EIREANN MEE' IN DUBLIN WITH CLASH London, Dec. 15?In a scene whi is likely to prove a landmark English history, the Irish treaty w today presented in the imperial pj liament for ratification, while t Dail Eireann at Dublin indulged heated debate, turning on Eamon 1 Valera's charge that the Irish plei potentiaries exceeded their powe in signing the treaty without furth reference to'Dublin. Neither the commons nor the Dj Eireann, however, has yet ccme grips on the actual decision respec i vo+ifirtofiAW TirV?i/*Vt llQC HPPTI HA? ictvtiiva^vay tt ?uv** mmw r-. poned until tomorrow. A feature of the debates in Wes minster was a bitter attack on tl government by Lord Carson in tl house of lords and Captain Charl Craig, Irish Unionist, in the house 1 commons. Lord Carson espccial showed not the slightest diminuti< in his old time denunciation of ar accommodation with Nationalist Ir land. He dared the government to < anything to stir Ulster against tl empire, and exclaimed: "Because L ster is loyal, you think you can ki< her as you like." "I promise you," he continue "that she will keep out of this agre -* * ___ x. 1? -u. ment. xou nave iriea mane m position impossible.

The tone of his speech was one < unrelenting hostility to a settlemen Premier Lloyd George's speech i the commons was less of an orator cal display in defense of the treat; which had been expected, than a can ful exposition of the agreement an its implications, with a view to pu ting the house in possession of th complete mind of the government o the settlement. He forestalled a tacks by the argument that the trej tv had received unstinted praise froi the king and the British dominior and could not be regarded as inimici to the country's interests. Ulster's official I'eply has also bee delayed until tomorrow, but it known that it rejects the invitatic to entftr the Irish Free State.

For an hour and three quarters IV Lloyd George spoke to crowd* benches and jammed galleries. T1 only touch of color in the ancient lej islative chamber was the brilliant r< coated uniform of Col. Sir Sanfu Hoare, who moved the reply to tl speech from the throne. It was not an oration like that < October 31, when the premier, ha ing been challenged, presented to tl country the alternatives of war < negotiation with Ireland and won tl dav bv a decision overwhelming favoring the gpvernment's policy; h role today was of one simply narra ing the problems raced by the deleg tions, with a description of the w<* they were handled.

T ALL MAJOR ISSUES OF NAVAL RATIO DECIDED BUT NEW DIFFICULTIES HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERED DISCUSSIONS OF FAR EAST QUESTION. Washington, Dec. 14.?The arms conference delegates have reacnea an agreement on all the major is sues of the naval ratio tout are en countering new difficulties in their discussions on the Far East. The American 5-5-3 ratio forms! the basis of the naval settlements, but there are to be readjustments in the original American plan to per mit Japan to retain her new bat *il tleship Mutsu. Tre United States ! to and Great Britain will be given a j :t- compensative quota of additional >t-1 ships not yet determined in detail. In the Far Eastern negotiations the latest element of controversy is 11 a request by China for abrogation j of the treaties resulting from I] Japan's famous "twenty-one de-j1 mands." When the request was pre-,' sented to the Far Eastern commit- jl tee of the whole today the Japanese j' promptly objected and the commit-,1 tee adjourned. Coming at a time ' when the Shantung negotiations are ] at a critical stage, the Chinese abro gation proposal has somewhat be <-V*a nf o T?or TT.oc- I i CiUMUUU urc pivijytv-vo vx ? * ? & umw-| tern agreement, but most of the 1 delegates remain ionfident of an ^ Ultimate solution. j '< Another meeting of the ""bigl three" late today advanced the'' naval qhestion nearer to the point; of a final and detailed settlement^ tbut left some minor points to foe de- (* determined. In all quarters an-j nouncement of a complete record | was regarded only 'as a suestion of j < hours. As an offset -to Japanese reten tion of the Mutsu, the United, I States is to etain the superdread-i naughts Washington and Colorado, j ^ and an equivalent increase in Brit- j ish capital tonnage is to be provid-] ed. The details of this British in-' b crease constitute the only point,.' still to be decided. i iCoupled with the naval agree-1 * ^ n_ ~,1 * ?v mem, in me pivpuscu n c?L_y ma , a "status quo" understanding on J Pacific fortifications and naval, * bases, exclusive of Hawaii and the j' islands off the Japanese, Australian;' and New Zealand coasts. The plan 'r means abandonment of the Ameri- J1 can island of Guam as a potential naval base. Temporarily the naval a question is receiving majority at-;a tention from the arms delegates, but 2 there were indications today that ' the increasing seriousness of the ' Far Eastern differences might soon! - le >r j require the potential figures of the1 ip i conference to turn their efforts to le I that direction ! China's request for abrogation of ' tiie "twenxy-orig aemanas uuaurs was coupled with a suggestion that the powers also take some definite; and formal step toward abolition of 1 existing "spheres of influence" in ( the Far East. There was no discus-, sion in the committee but it was ] evident tonight that the Japanese would not stand alone in opposing ] the abrogation proposal. In the Shantung conversations, ji the present point of controversy is j. the compensation that China is to' i give for Japanese improvements on' I the Kioachow railroad. The Japa-, \ nese have asked for instructions; J a-1 from Tokyo, but subject to a favor-|l iy able response from their govern- 1 ment offered today to withdraw from the railroad in the event of a satisfactory compensation! arrange- ( a $35,000 OFFERED McMILLIN h-j FOR 5 YEARS COACHING1 to! al I Dallas, Tex., Dec. 13?What is be il-jlieved to be the highest priced con L9 I tract an athletic coach is now on the m way to "Bo" McMillin, Centre col lege football star at Danville, Kjt, Id I from the Athletic council of the Uni of j versity of Dallas.
