The danger OF the army being de-
stroyed before the country's eyes. he
said, had come on the governments
like bolt from the blue sky He had,
he declared, received proof from 9TH
er quarters apart from the cavalry
regiment, that designations OF officers
had occurred. Mr.. law then read a
letter stating that officers who would
not fight against the Ulster men would
be dismissed from the service. The
troops, Mr.. Law declared. was foolish,
as there was no new situation In
Ulster or any threatened outbreak.
Calls 1t misunderstanding.
London, March 23.-"Misunder-
standing was the keynote Of Premier
Asquith's explanation of the crisis
brought about by the designations OF
army officers when their regiments
were ordered to prepare to proceed
to Ulster.
Speaking in the house of commons.
the prime minister made it clear that
officers and men of the British army
refusing to obey orders In connection
with the opposition of Ulster to in
PRODUCTION of home rule for Ireland
were liable to dismissal
Only brief statements have been
Forthcoming from the secretary for
war and the premier. and as far as
these can be interpreted the mis-
understanding arose through General
Sir Arthur Paget's placing wrong
construction on the orders given him
by the war office and telling his sub
ordinates they were to be employed In
quelling an uprising in Ulster.
Colonel Seely, secretary of state for
war, was derisiveH jeered during an
explanation he gave of the matter. He.
too. said it was misunderstanding. !,
Andrew Bonar Law. leader of the OPP
position, had stated that nothing
can save the army now except a
declaration that officers will not be
compelled to engage in civil war
against their WISH !
When he said that officers refusing
to serve against Ulster were only do
ing their duty, the labor members
shouted: ''How about strikes?"
The whole affair is generally ac-
copied as demonstrating that the army
cannot be counted upon to fight Sir.
Edward Carson's volunteers, If such a
contingency should arise.
Opposition politicians declare that
this means the collapse of the home
rule project and express their belief
that the government may soon relin-
Quish office by its own choice.

You dreamed and your wondrous dream come true
Yet who happier than you
Before your bruising battle had begun?
Who ever looked upon the rising sun
With purer joy, trod the flashing dew
With more abandon? Dreams, all dreams, you knew
And nothing else Tonight your dream is done
How strange it is that you have reached your goal
And not find thrill honest joy
How sad the knowledge when you search your soul
That all achievement is a glded toy
This span live would be a gift to prize

since she has spoken one word to
me.
When visitors cali she Is sar-

causes me annoyance.
she has ordered me out Of her
rooms. I have no privilege at
all, and was told to remain in my
own room, In which lonely gloom
l have passed the winter and
summer I am far advanced In
years. but I thank God for the
perfect health and strength I
have.
MY motive for writing you this

I am so weary, so lonesome in

But even so, there is only one
opinion to be held of such a
daughter, and only one thing for
the mother to do, and that is to

Perfect health and strength she
says are hers, and let her resolve
TO turn that health and strength

herself
After she has made her ar
