TERRIBLE CONDITIONS.

SIE H. WILSON'S ASSERTIONS. BRITISH GOVERNMENT BLAMED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 19. Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, on tho evo of assuming control in Belfast to assist in restoring order, writes to Sir James Craig as follows:—" Owing to the action of Mr Lloyd George, the South and West of Ireland have l>een reduced to a, state of chaos and murder which it is difficult to believe and impossible to describe. A further consequence of Mr Lloyd George's policy is seen in the unrest, suspicion, and lawlessness which have spread to tho frontier of Ulster. It is impossible to find under Mr Lloyd George's Government a man who can crush tho campaign of murder and anarchy and reciJarblish law arid order. It is frankly and laughably impossible because the .men who arc only capable of losing the Empire arc obviously incapable of regaining it." Sir Henry Wilson advises him to get Great Britain on Ulster's side and to tell Britons' the real truth in regard to the conditions in Ulster, " With Britain on your side," he says, '"there, is nothing which cannot be done." He also advises the reorganisation of the police and an amendment of the Arms Act.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
