London, March 2l.-''War In Ulster"
is the startling headline which the sen
sational London newspapers are dis
playing in the blackest type.
The government is placing its regu-
lar troops in Ireland so that they may
be in position to deal with any situ-
alton that may arise. The Army Coun-
ell some time ago considered the pos
sibilities of home rule strife. and in
structed Lieutenant General Sir Ar
thur Henry Fitzroy Padget, who COM
mands the Irish garrlsons, to take nee
essary precautions to maintain order
and safeguard property. A general re-
distribution OF the forces in Ireland,
therefore. was begun.
Two regiments were sent from the
south to reinforce the Ulster rarrisons
while the troops in Ulster weff moved
to new stations, in conformity with
the custom that In the event OF hostili-
ties or riotlng soldiers should not be
compelled to encounter people with
whom they had formed friendships. In
pursuance with the same rule. some
Irish recruits were sent from the Ar
magh recruiting station to England.
As result OF instructions sent by
the war office to the Curragh camp.
officers who objected to serving In
Ulster mus, resign or be dismissed
from the army. One hundred officers
rendered their designations.
The possibilities OF collision be.
tween the British soldiers and the Ul-
ter volunteers resulting from the su.
perheated political feeling are recog.
nized. but the leaders on both sides
are trying TO exert pacific influ-
ence.
Brigadier General Count Gleichen,
commander of the troops in Belfast
has been summoned to London to con.
fer with the war office officials.
The number OF troops in ireland

Ell verjel, Durango, Mexico, March
24.-At II o'clock Monday night Cen
eral Velasco led the main wing of his
army out of Torreon proper and rein
forced the suburb OF Palacio Gomez,
which is being made the main point Of
contention in the battle OF Torreon-
Villa to the City of Mexico.
Villa is storming that point with big
guns; has routed the men in the
ditcheg and has captured 800 men. His
wounded, who fell in the frightful on
slaught, are being brought back to Ell
Verjel in large numbers. His list of
dead is said to be small, while 1t is
claimed that great loss of life, run
ming into hundreds, has been sus-
tanned by the federal forces. In mes
sage received here Villa said he would
take TorreoI by noon today.
The real attack on Torreon began
when General Villa occupied Lerdo,
practically without resistance, and be-
gan an attack on Gomez Palacio. The
three towns are practically one in a
commercial and social sense and are
connected by street railway. Torret
proper represents the military strong
hold, where the main federal force is
gathered under General Refugio Vel
asco. Gomez Palacio and Lerdo are
without important natural defenses,
and in previous revolutions have new
er been seriously defended.
The real test OF strength is expected
to come when villa, after sweeping
these points, hurls his forces against
the defenses of Torreon. On this bat
tie. it Is conceded, hinges the fate OF
the revolution.

London, March 22.-Not since the
days when the hardy Beers of the
Transvaal arose, only to be crushed in
blood, has England been so stirred as
now. The King held repeated confer
ences Saturday with his minister's the
threatened uprising in Ulster being the
sole topic.
Every secretary and undersecretary
remained at his post, instead of taking
his usual weekend holiday. Troops
were on the move. Actual conflict in
the bitter fight growing out of the
home rule bill now requiring but one
more passage in the House of Com
mons to make it law, appeared I'M
minent.
From Belfast came reports OF prep
arations of the men of Ulster to re-
sist the government. So delicate was
the situation that Sir Edward Carson,
Ulster leader, in his headquarters at
Craigavon, counseled calmness on the
part of his followers, while War Sec
retary Seely directed General Paget,
commanding the British troops in Ire
land, to take extreme care not pro
woke an outbreak.
The day passed without clash, but
Ulster literally slept on its arms.
The reinforcing OF various garrisons
with British troops continued far into
the night. Warships dropped anchors
in the harbors. Within another twen-
ty-four hours the government expected
to have enough troops in the north to
possible raids and speedily crush any
aggressive movement should the VI.
ster leaders indicate an intention of
actually carrying out their threats OF
civil war.
An alarming note was sounded by
Lloyd-George in message which he
conveyed to n mass meeting of Liber-
ais at Huddersfield. Discussing u
ster and the attitude of the Unionists,
he said:
Liberalism will not finch one bit
before the plague OF toryism. The
country is confronted with the grayest
issue in the history of democratic gov
ernment since the days OF the Stuarts.
Representative government in this
land is at stake. am here on behalf
OF the government to say we mean
to confront this defiance OF popular
liberties with rasolute and unwaver
ing determination. whatever the haz-
ard may be. We are not fighting about
Ulster or about home rule. We are
fighting for all that is essential to
the civil liberty of this land"

garchy with an Orange army"
Belfast, Ireland, March 23.-Morc
than 100 British army officers at the
airy officers, have resigned. following
conference with General Sir Arthur
Paget, commanding the troops In Ire.
land, who had the forces paraded and
told them he had express orders and
requests from the King to ask every
officer to go as ordered. He said they
might never be called upon 10 fight,
but II they refused. there might be n
mutiny In the army, which would mean
n revolution in England, and In. six
months there would be no King and
no army.
Despite this appeal. all officers re-
fused to reconsider their designations,
