Ministers
are
disposed
to accept
the
note

of the Allies
and
to answer
in the
affir-

mative
tomorrow
without
qualification.

A formal
decision
will
be
taken
in

in
the
morning
but
the
|
attitude
of the
ministers
tonight
is
that

the agreement
is
as good as made
This
is
also
the
view of
M.
Millerand.
Dr.

an
hour’s
consultation
with

they
discussed
the
essentials
of
|
the Allied reply,
the
text
of which
will
|
be
delivered
later.
Dr.
Simmons
was
measurably
reconciled
to the
Allies
solu-
tion.
Tension
is
greatly
relaxed
at
the

Headguarters.
Mr. Lloyd George
seemed
to be in good spirits
this evening,
but when
asked
by
a
correspondent
if
ne
thought
the
Germans
would
accept,
said,
‘'l ecannot

Dr.

opponent
but
he

insati-
aple
men

repairs
were
made

again today.
The

of the

replaced

the Shamrock,

A bowsprit

not
been

of head-sails,
