BELFAST, March 21.-Ulster ex-
poets war Military preparations on a
grand scale. both by the Government
and the volunteers enrolled under the
anti-h home rule banner, went on rap
idly o-day. Anxiety and alarm over
the situation increased hourly, while
the Government rushed company
after company OF soldiers into the
Ulster counties, and messengers of
the organization, led by Sir Edward
Carson, dashed from town to town,
calling upon the volunteer forces to
prepare for immediate mobilization.
Threatened invasion by a foreign
foe would have produced a Govern
ment campaign of preparation no
more aggressive. BY land and by
sea it's forces moved to awe the peo-
pie of Ulster. Two torpedo boat de-
stroyers, carrying $50 men, arrived In
Belfast Tough from Dublin at day
break and landed the soldiers at Car
rick Fergus Castle. The warships
then anchored in the harbor, with
their guns trained on this city, which
is the heart of the threatened Ulster

and squadrons would be sent to

This action, in conjunction with
the army movements along the Ul-
ster Province border, would isolate
that district OF Ireland by land and
sea, and prevent the entrance of out
side forces to help the volunteers re-
cruited by the anti-home rule lead

The chief hope Of Sir Edward Car.
son and others of the Protestant
leaders has been that If actual hos
tilitles broke, out, the British army
will be split, and regulars join the
Unionist forces in Ulster.
Throughout the day heavy troop
movements continued. soldiers being
moved north from all the southern
garrisons in numbers OF from 100 to
500, all prepared for active service in
the field. The ordnance and commits

against the College of Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
practically on every point.
The opinion handed down by Spe-

should fill its own vacancies, subject
to the approval of the General Con-

between the university and the

Under the decision the $1,OO0,O00

an advisory control of the institution,
and that under the terms of the Cor
