London, Dec 11-At manster meet

down the policy on which the Liberal
government is appealing to the coun-

by other ministers-that If it were re-

demand the limitation of the power
of the house of lords-and then went
a step farther and pledged that the
Liberal party would grant self-govern-
ment to Ireland.
The meeting was marked by the
greatest enthusiasm of an audience
which filed the vast hall and which
was composed entirely of men, women
having been denied admission in the
fear that there might be a counter
demonstration by suffragettes. Every
corner of the hall had been searched
during the day for women and small
band of them was routed out, but they
managed to get two male supporters
into the meeting, who Interrupted Mr.
ASquith momentarily with cries of
"Votes for women!" Then they were
promptly elected.
