LONDON, Jan. 2o.--Admitting for
the first time that the home rule
meeting scheduled for Belfast, Ire
land, on February s, will. in all
probabilities be the signal for one OF
the bloodiest outbreaks in the his
tory of i'll fated Ireland, the govern
ment tonight is planning elaborate
precautions for protecting the speak
ers.
The Irish constabulary at Belfast
has been secretly reinforced for days
from members of the service in other
northern Ireland towns who are not
ed for their loyalty to the govern
ment, but Chief Secretary for Ireland
Birrell has received information from
the Belfast authorities that all of
the policemen in Erin could hardly
hope to cope with the Ulsterites If
they persist in their determination to
break up the meeting.
Regardless of the gravity of the
situation, government officials an
nounce that the meeting will be held.
1t was learned tonight that the gov
ernment is considering the adyisa-
bility Of throwing SO many troops in
to Belfast that they will overawe the
Ulsterites
1 Reports from northern Ireland in
dicate that the anti-home rule feel.
ing is growing and it 3 likely that
100000 unionist will go to Belfast on
February s from adjoining towns
Prominena unionist leaders declare
the unter-demonstration they are
planning will be only sample OF
what the liberals may expect if the
home rule bill is passed. For weeks,
the Ulsterites, the leaders claim, have
4 been smuggling arms into their lodge
rooms and whole companies of men
have been engaging in target practice,
! Hot heads among the membership
/ have been insisting that the time to
strike is on February s and hundreds
of the anti-home rulers will be
heavily armed when they arrive a.
Belfast.
] The liberal press at Ulster is q
unit in demanding that the unionist
leaders be arrested for treason, de
claring that unless some drastic ac
tion is taken Immediately, civil wal
i will be inevitable.
Unionist papers in London are just
as bitter in condemning the liberals
and the Express reiterates it's state
ment of few days ago that Winston
Churchill, first lord Of the admiralty
should be arrested on the grounds
\ that the speech he proposes to deliver
at the home rule meeting will result
in serious breach of peace.

the senator advocates the election OF

that it is the policies which the rcpub'

the greatest Importance to the voters,
not the personality Of the candidates
themselves. He declared that the OPP

obscure the real issue behind the am

by arousing persona pref udices Of rco-
pie for against the candidates. No one
who reads Senator McCumbcr's argu-
mcnt can fail to be impressed by its
force and the evident truth Of his state
n,ents. Among other things the senator
said, after being introduced TO the audi
encc by c. S. Buck: ..
Every vote against Mr.. lait is 4 vote

ODD COURTS MARTIAL.
Solemn Farces That Have Been En-
acted In tho British Navy.

1t is q rule in the British navy that
when a ship is cast away or otherwise
lost a court martial must sit in orde,
to apportion the blame. Sometimes
these courts really try and condemn
those that are held to be responsible
At other times their duties are, FROM
the very nature of the catastrophe
more Or less nominal.
Thus, when the Serpent was lost oil
the Spanish coast. u court martial as
sembled and soIcinnly tried" three or
binary blueiacEcts. the sole survivors,
although they of curse had no more to
do with the error in navigation which
led up to the catastrophe than the mall

A similar solemn farce was enacted
after tile loss OF the Captain in the
bay of Biscay, when 4S3 officers and
men lost their lives. In this case q
gunner named James May. Il Of the
eighteen who escaped from the wreck,
was the nominal "cnlprit." The YER
dict was that the loss Of the ship was
due to instability and faulty construc.
ton. This really amounted to a vote
OF censnre on Cowper Coles. the de
signer. but as he went down with
the ungainly monster lie had created
he was beyond the reach Of either
