FISHERMEN Not Satisfied
With Asquith's DisavoWal
of Any WarIike Plans

BELFAST, Ireland, March 23.-The
capital of Ulster, in which are the
headquarters of the provisional gov
eminent of the province. is today, per-
haps. the least excited city outwardly
in the United Kingdom. No more troops
have arrived here and none are ex-
pected. The residents look to London
and the Curragh camp for their news.
The statement issued by Premier As
auth declaring that the movements
of troops were of a purely precau-
tionary character has not weakened
the determination of the unionists to
be prepared for all eventualities. When
Sir Edward Carson. the leader of the
FISHERMEN. read it today he remarked:
THE statement simply represents the
position the prime minister mas peen
driven to take. The government has
put itself in a ludicrous position, but
It's action makes no difference to u.s.
We are proceeding steadily with our
preparations and organi ation. we are
not in the least affected by anything
the government may do or pretend to
do. We shall keep steadily in view
our main object. which is to prevent
ourselves being put by force under a
government we detest.
The detection of army officers Is the
cause of great jubi1ation in Ulster and
among the officials Of the provisional
government.
More Than 100 Quit Army.
The Associated Press was shown q
letter which the provisional authorities
have received from an officer at the
Gurragh station. saying that more than
one hundred officers had resigned. In
Guiding all the cavalry officers. Gen.
Sir Arthur Paget, commanding the
troops in Ireland. had them paraded
and told them. according to the letter.
that he had IAN express order and re-
quest from tn king himself to ask
every officer to go as ordered; that they
might never be called on to fight, and
that If they refused to go there might
be mutiny in the army, which would
mean a revolution in England. and in
six months there would be no king and
army
Despite this appeal all the officers re-
fused to reconsider their designations. A
general officer Of high standing In the
regular army was offered the post of
commander-in-chief of the force which Is
to operate against the Ulster volunteers.
When he declined the offer the war office
informed him that his refusal meant the
severance Of his connection with the
army He persisted and the authorities
offered the post to another officer, said
to be Gen. Friend, now commanding at
Belfast, who accepted.
A denial has been issued Of the report
ed mutiny Of the Dorsetshire regiment.
