ULSTER'S PREPARATIONS FOE

THE STRUGGLE

(Received March 15, 5.5 pjn-) London, March 14

Mr. F. P. Acland", ©pea-king sfo Acton, . commenting on the recent.de--1 ites, said he never heard speeches more lacking in statesmanship tyA a sense of responsibility or a feeling ef human decency than Mr.-Bonar Law's. He added that the Government did not intend further "modification of the Home Rule Bill, which would only lead to further demands.

Sir-Edward C&rson, in a letter, says, "We are going to make good in action all we have, been saying. We are preparing for a two years' struggle, grave- and almost unprecedented in recent history." Mr. J. Devlin, M.P., in an article in "Reynolds' Newspaper" argues that the* Carsomtes are irreconcilable. The Bill should 'be passed as it stands^ and the Government should enforce the law , against, the: aristocrats who are plot- j ting a rebellion.

A hundred personal friends dining at the Ritz Hotel presented Sir Etlward Carsoa "with a sword and a book of signatures attached to a copy of the Ulster Covenant.
