THE HOME RULE ISSUE.
ATTITUDE OF UNIONISTS. HINT OF A CHANGE. (Received 7 p.m.) Router. ' LONDON, May 14. A change in the attitude of the Unionists regarding Home Rule is indicated in a speech by Mr. Austen Chamberlain at a Unionist meeting, in which he declared it was a question whether in view of the new circumstances which had arisen the Unionists should not take up their former attitude. Home Rule was not a question for Ireland alone, but concerned England, Scotland, and Wales. A solution of the whole problem was urgently demanded. Therefore he asked the Unionists to look the new facts in the face with an open mind. He declared the Government was not indifferent to peace, but it was idle to talk of peace until the issue was decided on the battlefield.
