SINN FEIN REPUDIATES NEGOTIATIONS.
LONDON December 6.
The Sim Fein Divisional Council in Dublm has repudiated the peace negotiations in England, declaring any person discussing terms with a |foreign government unless authorised by Daïl Eireann guilty of treachery.
PREMIER'S STATEMENT. -
LONDON, December d.
In the House of Commons, replying to questions with regard to the | report that he is negotiating with the Sinn Fein leaders, Mr. Lloyd George merely re-affirmed the Government's willingness to explore every avenue leading to a real and lasting settlement. He would regret very much if it were true that the Sinn Fein conference had repudiated the peace negotiations. He had just received a telegram from Father Flannagan, on December 5, but had not yet considered the reply. He wanted to discover if Father O'Flannagan were able to speak for the Sinn Fein party. Mr. Lloyd George re-emphasised that the Government was willing to discuss with anybody authorised to speak on behalf of the Irish people any question which would bring peace to Ireland.
Replying to Mr. Devlin, Mr. Bonar Law said that the Government did not intend to drop the Home Rale Bill in view of the House of Lords" action with regard to it.

LONDON, December 6.
In the House of Commons, replying to Brigadier-General Croft who urged that all State, departments should be instructed to order only British goods as long as there was unemployment in Britain. Mr. Lloyd George said that general instructions had already been enforced to give preference to the products of the Empire in Government contracts. It was impossible to lay down a universalrule, as certain foreign products must be purchased. but the "Government fully sympathised with the general tenour of the question.

Replying to a suggestion that the interests of the taxpayer might be served by purchasing foreign goods, the Fremier expressed the opinion that the interests of the taxpayer would be considered by seeing that they got employment instead of unemployment beneft.

GREEK PLEBISCITE. "
VOTING REPORTED IN FAVOUR OF CONSTANTINE.
SINGULAR INCIDENTS.
ATHENS, December 6.
The plebiscite on the question of Constantine's' return has taken place throughout the country without disturbance. The result will be announced to-day. Amongst the voters were the royal princes at present in Athens. It is taken for granted that the plebiscite went in favour of the ex-King. more especially having regard to the manner in which it was conducted.
LONDON, December. 6.
According to French diplomats yesterday's plebiscite in. Greece was taken in a very singular fashion. It is stated that soldiers were taken to the polling booths by nor commissioned officers. Voters were allowed to vote without producing cards. Certain prefects are said to have issued official circulars threatening the electors with punishment it they voted against Constantine.
FRENCH COMMENT. :
PARI, December 5.
A Haras message states--The happy outcome of the London confer ence which gave such practical demonstration to the Entente's strength and cohesion is greeted by the French papers as a triúnsph of common sense. Prevention is better than cure, and while entertaining go iden whatever of interfering with Grence's internal affairs, the Allies have perfect right to warn ber of the consequences which will follow a restoration of the ex Kaiser i brother-in-law to the throne. Greece has hitherto been dependi to a large extent upon Britain and France for fiúascial support. [have unquestinonable, right t ithdraw that support should

The Belgian Government bore at the time all the hotel and restaurant expenses of the meeting on the under- Standing that it would be reimbursed later. It has now sent to the League of Naries a bill for £3.200 for cigars smoked or taken away, but the League of Nations authorities declare that they have not sufficient funds to pay for cigars.
The secretary of the League is said to have added that the Allied Supreme Council should meet this bill.

S CRET MONOPLANE.
GERMAN ENTERPRISE.
ATLANTIC FLIGHT TO BE ATTEMPTED,
The Zeppelin Company is about to begin, trials in Germany with an aero- .plane for which it is claimed that in design and performance it will far out-distance any machine in the world,
This is a tractor monoplane which *has been built in secret and only the most meagre details regarding it have It is built been allowed to leak out. throughout of duralunin, has a span. of 90 to 100k, and a chord of 10 of 12. It is fitted with four engines and has capacity for 20 passengers. The wings of the monoplane are hol- low. In then the four engines, each of 260-k.p.-Mercédes or Maybach--- are fitted, and the wings are con structed so that, while the monoplane is in flight, a mechanic may crawl through them and attend to the e- gines. There are only two struts it the monoplane, and these extend. laterally from the under-carriage to the under-side of the vings.
The first question that arises is to what extent the efficiency of the 'pro- pellers will be reduced since they are placed so close to the leading edge of the wings. It is understood ther following the trials. "an early attempt will be made to fly the machine across the Atlantic. This revelation of Ger- man activity is of the utmost interest in view of the references made at the Air Conference to machines of British design with their engines mounted in the wings.
Moreover, in connection with Ger- man aerial activity, a reference to the „Fokker `machines is not out of place. Recently a monbplane of this make landed at Croydon. But if, and the statement is not-open to contradic tion, the Fokker machines are, pro- duced in factories in Germany, ex- ported to Holland in parts, and there" assembled, what is their real nation- "ality?
