LONDON, March 29.-Anotber fierce
battle commences in the commons to-
morrow with the discussion Of the con.
solidated fund bill when the tories pro-
pose to attack the government for frus-
trating their attempt to use the army
to coerce the majority in parliament
from passing the home rule bill.
The Liberals, Laborites aud Irish
Nationalists intend to expose the plot
to make the army a subseryient instrl-
ment of discredited political party.
Today the leaders of both sides were
busy making preparations. Mr.. Asquith
has been in deep consultation with Win
ston Churchill, the best fighting mem
Der of the government, at the premier s
| country place. Lloyd George has inter
viewed representatives Of all sections,
while spending the weekend with Lord
Chief Justice Reading, formerly Sir Ru-
| fus lsaacs
Sir Edward Carson has received Wis
| It's from several Unionist leaders, while
Bonar Law also remained at home con-
| ferring with his colleagues.
Rank and File Firm.
Among the Liberal rank aud tle the
weekend has given an opportunity to
impress the leaders with their deter
mination that neither nome rule nor
the national liberties shall be, crushed
| by the army aristocrats. Today dep
utation representing the League Of
Young Liberals saw Lloyd-Gcorge and
urged that the government carry out
| its programme regardless Of threats.
The chancellor, replying, said:
Democracy is on its trial. Its right
to govern is being challenged by an
oligarchy who call to their aid the house
OF peers and the officers of the army.
| Upon the courage and resolution dis
played in this juncturo by the friends
of liberty in all classes viii depend the
question whether this country is to re-
main free or is in effect to be enslaved
by military despotism."
Attitude of Labor.
The same attitude was taken by j.
II. Thomas. leader of the railway men,
in speech at Birmingham this even.
ing. Mr.. Thomas said;
off officers arc TO be permitted to
act politically by refusing to obey or
ders then when trade dispute took
place and the workers were fighting for
better conditions for their wives and
their families. Tommy Atkins must be
allowed to say, This is my flesh and
blood. l will refuse to shoot at my
fellows
A Dublin dispatch received tonight
says Sim Fein suggests the adoption
of new Irish anthem with the re-
frain:
'.God save the greater part of Ire
land. God save Leinster, say We all.
''God save Connaught in the west;
God save Munster with the rest.
"And the dickens take the Gaels OF
Dun ma Gall
Name for Ulster.
The paper proposes that Ulster hence
forward be known as Dun ma Gall, mean
ing stronghold of the foreigners.
Every indication now goes to show
that ali the members OF the coalition
ever determined TO pass home rule be-
cause the Liberals realize that in its
passage is bound up every tenet OF their
political faith. Other events count for
little Mt the present moment.
Late tonight General French stated
that he had not withdrawn his resigns-
tion. Followers of the government re-
pret this, because it is due entirely to
q question OF personal honor without
reference to the cabinet policy of which
he approves. If he should persist IN
resigning it will provide lever for tho
army insurrectionists. In the event
that he does persist, the post of COM
manding officer will go to Sir Ivan Ham,
ilton.
A point of great Importance now is
that in its second reading on Tuesday
the home rule bill Will have the most
enthusiastic support OF the past thirty
years.
Slight Outbreak.
