FIRES Of CIVIL
WAR SHOULDER
IN EMERALD ISLE
Only a Breath Is Needed to Fan
Them into Strife between
Ulster and Home Rule
Volunteers.

London, July with every week of
suspense in the settlement of the future
government Of Ireland the menace of the
! military preparations by the Ulster and
! IN" nom" rule volunteers increases. The
present tendency among the volunteers of
the south is to accept leadership by tho
Nationalist party which John Redmond
| ofored them Thus led, there would be 4
clear division of homo rulers and the anti.
! nome rule men into hostile armed camps
! IN" very dangers of bitter civil war
"hich such a prospect presents. furnishes
the best safeguard for peace
| Correspondents of the Associated Press
at Dublin and Belfast have written of the
situation from the nationalist and Ulster
points Of view respectively. The most in.
| teresting development is the plan, hlth-
crto unpublished, Of the Orangemen UNI
der Sir Edward Carson for taking charge
of affairs by force If provisional govern
| ment is set up, and the fact that the COM
mercial men of Belfast have used their
/ influence in Ulster councils to postpone
! radical action until a home rule parlia-
mont has been established in Dublin Th
great question which confronts the ma
uonallst volunteers is how far their
American sympathzers are likely TO
come forward with funds for their arms
and equipment.
