CIVIL WAR IN ULSTER
[By Charles P. Stewart, London cor

[By Charles P. Stewart, London cor
respondent Of the United Press
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Anti-Irish home
rulers are never tired of predicting
civil war in Ulster If the management
of the Emerald Isles affairs is turned
over to an Irish parliament But they
never consider 1t worth while to men
ton that there is an excellent chance
Of civil war elsewhere on the island
unless autonomy is granted to its
people.
The protestant Irish are afraid OF
home rule. There is no mistake about
it. Maybe they will make trouble If
a home rule bill passes. But on the
other hand, the Catholic Irish have
been led to believe that political de-
velopments of the past year or two
assure the bills passage in the very
near future and unless it does pass
their disappointment will be something
terrible. In this disappointment they
are just as liable to rebel as the prot
estant Irish are to rebel IL they fail
to have their own way.
Nor is the step very long one from
the conditions which actually exist to-
day in parts Of Ireland, to actual re-
bellion. The west coast, in particular,
is the very last place that peace-lov-
ing individual would want to live on.
What is going on there Is hardly
known to the outside world. This
partly because it is really about as
far removed from civilization as are
Iceland and Labrador and news does
not get out with any degree of free
dom or completeness from so primi-
tive country. 1t is also partly be-
cause the various acts of violence, ia
ken individually do not constitute par
ticularly important news. 1t is only
when they are considered collectively
that they become so. Finally, it is
against the English governments pol
icy to have it generally known how
serious conditions exist in a part of
Great Britain ITSELF and as the Brit
ish government has vastly greater in
fluence with the British press than
anything it is possible for an Ameri-
can who has not actually seen to ap-
preciate, it manages to keep the sub
jects pretty effectively hushed up.
AS a matter of fact, cattle driv-
ing for instance is almost of nightly
occurrence. That is to say, some

does not want, they are entrusted
with but from one to seven or eight
acres apiece and they pay for 1t 20
shillings, or $3.50 per acre.
The peasantry felt, correctly, that
home rule Is the first and necessary
step in the direction of the establish
ment of a 1uster system and unless
1t is granted there is every reason to
look for exceeding grave disorders
listers hostility to what the rest
OF Ireland wants is partly due to
fear of oppression by the Catholics
and partly-Ulster being the islands
industrial center-to apprehension Of
heavier taxes on Its manufacturing
and commercial enterprises.
