SUGGESTED  IRISH  SETTLEMENT
LONDON, Nov. 7�No progress has been made in the matter of the suggested settlement of the Irish question. This could be had if the province of Ulster would agree to surrender the Roman Catholic counties of Tyrone and Fermanagh, as the Sinn Fein leaders express a willingness to recognize allegiance to the crown in such an event. The suggested settlement is not popular with the English unionists, who hold they should not desert Ulster. It remains to be seen whether sufficient pressure can be brought upon the Irish leaders in Ulster to make the desired sacrifice in the intVresU of peace. Lloyd George, while desiring peace, at almost any price, will not attempt to coerce Ulster.
