Ireland after ia years is again to
have it's parliament and to conduct
its own internal affairs in it's own
way.
All eyes are now turned upon Ulster.
The governments proposed amend
ment will enable each Of the Ulster
counties to vote whether 1t will or will
o accept home rule for six years.
Something over so per cent Of the
population of the five northern coun-
ties Of Ireland oppose home rule, and
there is no doubt that the opposition
is still fierce and may have serious
consequences. this in spite Of the fact
that the Irish parliament will have no
power to legislate in favor of my re-
ligious creed or to establish or endow
any religion or to prohibit the free ex.
ercise Of any religion.
Sir Conan Doyle. who recently ar
rived in this country. declared that if
home rule should he forced upon Ulster
a civil war would probably follow.

Matters of prime Importance to the

| Of Dunkirk can be flooded all along
the canals by stopping the outflow at
low tide, and thus the city itself could
be attached only through a series OF
narrow causeways at an enormous
sacrifice of men,
Two months ago Dunkirk was busy
seaport, with hundreds Of sailing YES
sells going out Of the harbor at dawn
and returning by nightfall, and scores
of freight steamers darkening the sky
| with great clouds Of smoke. Today
none but military transports enter the
harbor Most of the fishing vessels are
tied up at the quays; the big steamers
, lie idle; canal boats that dare not ven-
ture out congest the waterways that
are among the busiest arteries Of COM
merce in Dunkirk in days of peace.
There is something impressive in the
sight of hundreds of these freight
boats, low narrow craft, with perhaps
a mast or two on which to hoist sail
when the wind blows. Here war, which
has paralyzed industry in the north
country, has paralyZed commerce, the
young men who manned these boats
have gone to war, only the old folk and
the women and very young remain.
The boats dance up and down on the
water as a ripple stirs them or as bit
of breeze causes them to bump against
their neighbors. Their season this
year closed long before the coming Of
snow and ice.
Dunkirk suffered heavily when the
war began because, like so many other
seacoast towns, it was deprived Of
considerable revenue during the sum-
mer months from tourists. The beach
of Dunkirk is at Malo-les- -Bains. few
miles from the harbor, a spot where
