The realiaatioa is .oaking into their minds that Congresa thn. far ha. made mens of thing, for Bepnbllean hope, of going to the people with the rallying er7 of "see, behold, what wonderful thing, we haTedone." And the Repub lican, in both branehe. of Congres. in realiting thii are easting about for something of importance that will ap jicnl to tho people.

They hold -that n. tho military branch of the gov ernment i. the big expense that goes to keep taxes up, that if something is done by tho conference that will really tend to reduce taxation that they will then be nble to go to the people with tho declaration that "we have cut tuxes.''

I'n to a lnte hour tonight Mr. Lloyd George had made no response but the consensus of opinion was tjint since neither side to the argument seemingly is desirous of a rupture in tho negotia tions there doubtless would ne a fur -Kthcr exchange of messages. The general view in London is that the hitch has arisen because both Mr. I.lftvd George and Mr. De Valera are eonipelled to keep an eye on th"fc ex tremists in their respective cabinets, but that behind both there also is strong puMie opinion in favor of pence, this f' Vnf being as strong in England a in lrlnnd. From advices received in London the Sinn Fein leadets were surprised by the effect of Mr. Dd Valera's letter whieh induced Mr. Lloyd.

Far out at sea, the Dauntless was met by a destroyer division of the United btates Navy. As it neared port, the escort was augmented by a fleet of set planes, representing the arm of the. service fur which the vitini gave their lives. As the funeral ship came up the harbor, the forts thundered a sa lute, church bells tailed on the Brook lyn and Btaten Island shores and pass ing craft dipped their colors in rever ential salute.. The Dauntless proceeded directly to the Navy Yard in Brooklyn where Brit ish sailors tenderly carried the bodies from the deck of their craft and de livered them to the keeping of tlioir former comrades in arm on the pier.

On the "decks of the cruiser the en tire crew of 400 men with the excep tion of those on duty, were drawn up at attention. On the quarter deck was a guard of the Royal Marhae Light Infantry, standing ritfid with reverse I arms. A silence, almost sepulchral in effect hung over the funeral ship, as she pro ceeded up the harbor.
