ULSTER WANTSITS
OWN COVE ERNMENT
English Leaders Still Without
Solution of Home Rule Diff
CuItieS - SuffragetS Make a
Point.

LONDON, Sept 30.-The English
government is yet without a satisfac-
tory solution of the trouble on the
Ulster question. It was announced
Tuesday that Premier Asquith is pre-
pairing a report of the government
conference held at Brodicl1 castle for
presentation to King George. That
the king is worried over the untoward
turn of Irish affairs is shown by the
numerous requests he is making upon
his cabinet for information and ad-
vice.
Sir Edward Carson, leader of the
UniOnists, who are opposed 10 home
rule in the north Of Ireland. is quot
ed as saying that the PrOtestants of
Ulster would be satisfied if that prov
ince is allowed to secede and establish
q government of its own. This solu-
ton does not meet the approval of the
cabinet nor OF King George.
Chancellor David LlOyd-George,
protected as usual from militant suf-
fragets by several stalwart detectives,
has arrived here from the Isle of Ar
question was held. and announced
that serious problems besetting the
government are yet to be solved
Liberal newspaper which are sup
porting the Irish nationalists in par
lament ridicule the idea that armed
followers of Sir Edward Carson and
Capt. James Craig would actually go
TO war. They maintain that if Sir
Edward and his followers are really
actuated by patriotism and loyalty 10
the king he Will not stir up civil
strife.
In the meantime suffraget leaders
are making unlimited capital Of the
fact that Sir Edward is not punished
for treason by fOmenting an armed
movement against the established
government whereas militant women
are jailed and sentenced on political
charges.

SOLDIERS WEAKER

Army Officer Says Recruits Are Not
of as High Standard Physical
~ as In Earlier Days.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3O.-Many an
undraped scarecrow gets into the ar
my because OF the custom Of admit
ling men several pounds under weight.
according TO Capt. Jones Of the med
ical corps After examining 500 re-
cruits. Capt. Jones has reached the
conclusion that the recruits OF today
are inferior In strength and physique
TO those of 1875.
OF the half thousand men who pre-
sented themselves for enlistment only
33 per cent could be rated as strong. ="
while il was . per cent in 1875. when
hardy German and Irish immigrants
Of stOcky build were noted among the
recruits. At that time 90 per cent Of
the recruits were foreign-born. where
as present day enlistments comprise
only nine per cent foreign born.
Modern recruits are alleged 10 have
more brains than those Of earlier
years. and IL IS a question whether
they are not better all around soldiers.
Further investigation along these
lines may be made b. army officials.

MILITANTS WORRY
CHURCH CONGRESS
Report That Suffragets Would Try to
Break Up Convention Dis
turbs Churchmen.

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng. Sept. 80
There was an excited opening of the
English church congress here Tues
day because threats of militant suf-
fragets 10 break up the convention. In
addition several churchmen promised
to introduce the woman question into
the debate Wednesday. The bishop
Of Winchester. president of the con-
gress, is striving TO prevent political
discussion of any kind.
The old idea" said the bishop in
discussing the question, was that
women's responsibility consisted in
bearing and rearing children and Civ
ing a gentler aspect TO life. Her
work was TO make the home and
keep pmen's interest in the higher
things of life. The idea is growing
now that women should be on the
same level as men, have the same
characteristics, the same attributes,
the same ideals and the same polite
al, economic and moral equalities."

FOURTEEN SPECIAL CARS TO
GREENWOOD.

Wednesday evening several of the
public schools wended their wav 10
Greenwood Park in open cars to
have an annual outing with the col.
ored children and teachers. There
were thousands of young people who
enjoyed the pleasant breezes of
Greenwood on this day. happy that
school days were over and that thev
were entering into a season of pleas
ure.
Clifton, Ashcraft, Hadley and
Knowles Schools participated in the
celebration. The long string of four
teen doubletruck cars presented an
attractive scene as they rolled
through the streets of the city in an
unbroken stream They stretched
several blocks. All eyes were turned
to this great string of cars but the
children soon let the people know
Ilat they were in charge of the sitl-
alton, and as they lifted their voices
in cheerful glee, hands were waving
bidding them a day of happiness.
Greenwood Park was literally GOV
cred with little feet and they had a
great day.

Not Commit Himself

After spending a very busy day in
the city in the interest of the COM
ing National Baptist Convention, the
Rev. 3. G. Morris, D. D., of Helena,
Ark, President of the National Bap-
tist Convention left Wednesday
night for Memphis, Tennessee to be
present at the Program Committee
meeting of his Convention, which
held session there Thursday. While
here DR.. Morris took advantage of
the opportunity to see some of the
Commencement exercises of Roger
Williams University. He was stu
dent in this school many years ago.
The principal object of his visit,
as was learned by a Globe reporter,
was to look into the arrangements
that Nashville is making for the en-
tertainment of the Semi Centennial
and DenOminational Jubilee during
the month of September. The bet
ter part of Wednesday was spent in
looking over the conveniences at the

Convention, which is to hold Semi
Centennial Celebration Jubilee
in this city next September

Ryman Auditorium as pertaining to
all the city and delegates in various
parts and the accommodations to be
afforeder at Greenwood Park for this
celebration. AS far as could be
learned from the President of the
Baptist Convention, the plan adopted
at their meeting in Tuskegee will be
pushed vigorously. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Baptists to have from one
to three commissioners or represen-
tatives from each of their state and
territorial conventions to collect ex-
hlbits showing the physical growth of
their denomination, as well as the
achievements of the race since the
slaves were emancipated. The Presi-
dent would not give out very much
of the plans, saying that the whole
matter would perhaps be gone over
at the meeting in Memphis, and that
the program would be made up at
this meeting, after which a full an
nouncement of all the plans would be
offered to the newspapers throughout
the United States. He was non
committal upon the National Theolog-
1cal Seminary question, expressing
himself, however, as thankful that
the Southern Baptists had decided to
contribute literally to the education
of the Negro minister. He lis quoted
as saying he did not know what
action the Educational Board of his
Convention would take relative TO
the matter of location of the Semi
nary at Louisville rather than Nash
vile, which was chosen by his Con-
vention, as the proper sight, in their
session at Memphis, Tennessee some
years ago. When asked as to what
the probable attendance to the Con-
vention would be, he stated that
much of this would depend upon the
rate given by the railroads, as we'll
as the activities of the Nashville peo-
pie in Offering their homes for the
entertainment of the visitors. But
that 10000 was a conservative esti-
mate. 1t was learned while DR..
Morris was in the city that Philedel-
phia with the Emancipation Celebra-
ton Committee had not altogether
their invitation for the
National Convention to meet with
them, but that the chances for change
of the convention at this late date
seemed very slim
