Redmond Not Scared.

LONDON, Feb. 5.--'It's all bluff 2
This was John Redmond's comment
today on the threats of the Obstetrics
to break up Winston Churchill's home
rule meeting at Belfast on Thursday.
The Irish nationalists leader, who is
convalescing from injuries received in
runaway accident month ago, ex-
poets to accompany Churchill to the
camp of the enemy.
You should bear in mind. he said,
that these threats do not come from
the general body OF protestants in
Ireland, or from the general body Of
protestants even in Ulster. They
come merely from the orangemen, a
very small but very noisy minority.
Such threats have been made many
times but nothing ever came of them. .
