The draft of a quadruplo entento which wotud serve as a substitute for the Anglo-Japanese alliance, it was learned today from nulhoritutivo sources, is now under consideration by tho govern ments of tho I'nlted States, Great Britain, Japan and France. This Is said to explain tho delay of tho Japanese government In an nouncing Its decision concerning the' discusslso of tho ratio of aval ton nago because it appears that as the problem of warship tonnage is con nected with national policy, the two matters are being discussed together. There was a growing Impression to day that if the entente can be work ed out satisfactorily Japan would not insist upon her request for a 70 per cent ration of capital ships as against the 00 per cent suggested in tiie American proposals. The inclusion of France in the pre liminary negotiations for the entente has attracted special interest. It has not been disclosed whether the terms of tho proposed agreement would be of a nature to satisfy France with ref enrenco to her situation in Europe or whether the entente would merely be a regional accord affecting the Far Fast.

R SH OVERTURES IANNIS HITS EOR PEACE FAIL IN F Dail Eireann Delegates to Go Home Lloyd George Holds Confab With King Alle giance to Crown Stumbling Block. LONDON, Dec. 3. illy Associated Tress.) Now proposals on the Irish question wore discussed at a confer ence today between government repre sentatives and Sinn Fein delegates ! the Central News Agency today. These proposals, it was said, were being con sidered lato this afternoon by the Sinn Fin delegation, who promised to com municate with Prime Minister Lloyd George later today when n further con ference was expected. , LONDON, Dec. 5. (lty tho Asso ciated Tress) Tho Irish peace nego tiations have broken down, according to statements in responsible quarters today and the Dall ireann delegates are expected to return finally to Ire land tomorrow or Wednesday. LONDON, KDec. &. (lly tho Asso ciated Press) The crislH in tho Irish peace negotiations held the exclusive attention of official circles today. Pre mier Lloyd Oeorgo obtained an audi ence with King George and explain ed the situation to him after which the ltritish peace representatives held a conference. This was followed by a. meeting of the entire, cabinet. On tho government's side. It was: indicated, the argument will be that the refusal of the Sinn Fein to accept, allegiance to the king made nn agree-j ment impossible since that condition ' wm insisted upon by the ltrilish and was, in addition, an essential prelimi nary to securing any assent from Ulster. I The correspondence, in connection i with the negotiations ' will bo made public by the government, it was ' stated, and Prime Minister Lloyd George in expected to make an ex-1 planatnry statement. ) The truce still remains In effect ami no immediate resumption of hostili ties is looked for. The Irish delegation yesterday in formed Premier Lloyd George that I tho government's latest proposals were unacceptable to the Dall Kir eann cabinet. The time limit set by Sir James Craig, Ulster premier, for the sumbis sion of a further plan by Mr. Lloyd George expires tomorrow. Sir James is to address the Ulster parliament to morrow and should no new terms be forthcoming, he was expected to an nounce tho peace, negotiations at nn end. The Hritish position then would be thrown back to the stand taken by Mr. Lloyd George before the negotia tions opened more than five months ago, that Hritish law must bo main tained in Ireland, even through tho use of military. How far tho present, truro would endure under such con- ditions Is conjectural. Thus far there lias been no agreement for extension ,of tho truce. The Sinn Fein. It is declared, re-! fused even a conditional promise of nllegiance contingent upon a settle-; ment, the most it offered being to "recognize" tho king as head of the! commonwealth of free nations. The closest examination of tho gov-! ernment's latest terms satisfied tho; Sinn Fein delegates and tho Uail Eir eann cnbinet, it Is assorted that they contained no advice on tho terms of Prime Minister Lloyd George's origi nal letter, which was formally reject ed in July by Kainorm DeValera in his speech to the Dail parliament. Two months of negotiations with Downing street had not got tho Irish any further. It was, argued, and ac cording to well informed quarters some of the delegates were opposed even to the consideration of the new proposals by the Dail cabinet last Sat urday. After a short discussion in which all the cabinet members rejected the government's proposals, Mr. DeVa lera turned to the delegates nnd said: "These are your instructions; they are the Instructions of the people of Ireland." The truce rontinueH to exist until notice of Hh termination Is formally given, and bolh the government and tlie Sinn Fein ray they have no In tention of giving that notice. Never theless, both sides feel, It is declared, that the course of events will bo bound to Involve a renewal of hostili ties. The Sinn Fein de..Bates visited Downing street at three o'clock this afternoon. It Is understood they con ferred with the government represen tatives concerning the question of continuing the truce.
