EVENTS LEADING TO
THREATENEp CIVIL
WAR IN IRELAND
IBy Latest NALL

For years the Irish Parliamentary
party in the House OF Commons has
sought to obtain separate govern
ment for Ireland at Dublin
Under the leadership first OF Chas.
Stewart ParneH and later of John e.
Redmond it finally induced the Brit
.ish government to introduce an Irish
home rule bill in the House Of Com
mons.
The liberals, under the leadership
of the British Premier, Mr.. Asquith,
have advanced the bill almost to the
stage of final passage.
B The 0rangepen of Ulster oppose
the bill and say they will fight IL
home rule is forced upon them. They
have organized regiments known as
the Ulster Volunteers, which are
commanded by many retired officers
of the British army.
\ A few days ago the premier an
nounced as concession to the
Obstetrics that he would amend the
Home Rules bill to give the nine
counties Of Ulster an opportunity to
vote on the question Of refusing to
recognize the Irish Parliament for q
limited number of years.
Sir Edward Carson, Bonar Law
and other leaders OF the Obstetrics
have refused to entertain the pro-
position E
Sir Edward went. to Belfast yester-
day, and his presence there excited
the Ulster Volunteers. The Brit
ish government has sent war ships to
Ireland and has moved troops to the
north.
The Home Rule advocates in the
rest of ireland have also formed re-
giments under the name of the Irish
Volunteers, and are drilling regular
ly with object of aiding the govern
:ment should the Ulster men start a
