An American girl :s right in the heart of all the Hun

regain his throne. She is the Countess Anton Sigray, for
merly Harriet Daly, daughter of the late Marcus Daly, the
American copper king. James W. Gerard, former Ambas

Resignation of British Lead
er May Be Announced to
House of Commons
LpNDOX, Nov. 8. Belief was
expressed in high, quarters tonight
that jit might be Monday before
any I important developments oc
curred in the Irish situation. All
parties were busy today in infor
mal discussion, but there will be
no specific move before Thurs
day's meeting between athe pre
mier and members of. the Ulster,
cabinet. There is a hope that
parliament may be prorogued
Thursday, and as Friday Is Ar
mistice day, further officail pn
versations concerning Ireland are
likely to be adjourned until Mon
day. Cabinet Council Meets :
Premier Lloyd George presided
over a cabinet council tonight at
which it is understood the king's
speech proroguing parliament was
discussed. It is expected to deal
mainly with Irish affairs.
Unofficial reports were carrent
today that in the event that i the
conference Thursday be twees the
premier and the Ulsterite,fldw
the impossibility of an, agreement
being reached with Ulster, Pre
mier Lloyd George will make "a
grave and important announce
ment" to the house of commons.
This is commonly interpreted as
a threat, that he will resign if
Lister - persists in an unreason
able attitude.
Ulster Still Obstinate
In official quarters there is no
sign of an improvement, and the
j Ulster cabinet is expected to ivo
unanimously its reasons for re
fusing to assent to concessions.
There will be no resumption of
j tho conference with the Sinn Fein
delegates until the difficulty with
Ulster has been overcome.
