Bill with Certain MOdi-
ficatiOnS.
THIS ACTION TAKEN
TO AVERT CIVIL WAR
Archbishop, Hitherto Stanch
Unionist, Recognizes That Irish
Autonomy Is Inevitable.

London. July When the bill to
amend the Irish Home Rule bill came
up to-day for second reading in the
House of Lords the Marquis OF Lans-
downe. the Unionist leader, contended
that as Ireland was one vast armed
camp IL was necessary to find a way
ont OF the calamity which, he said, was
threatening.
The Unionists. he announced. would
give the amending bill a second real
ing and introduce amendments during
the committee stage in regard TO the
area TO be excluded from the opera
tons of the Home Rule bill. the durs-
tion OF the exclusion and the govern
ment Of the excluded area.
Lord Lansdowne added that their ac-
tion in passing the second reading Of
the amending bill would be misunder-
stood and misrepresented in many
quarters. but there was no other way
by which breathing space could be OBJ
tanned, with the prospects of avertlnG
civil war. The amendments to be in
troduced in the committee stage would
be directed solely to making the bill
a really adequate exclusion bill. With
touch of pathos, he said:
The peers are so fast bound by the
meshes Of the Parliament act tina:
there is no other course open. TO them

Die Hards," who moved the rejection
of the bill
The Archbishop OF York, hitherto a
stanch Unionist, said that what tho
country wanted now was not the re-
lection Of the bill but a settlement in
some form. Irish government, he
declared, was now inevitable.
The Earl of Arran announced that he
could not vote for the second reading,
because II would be in violation of the
oath of the Ulster Covenanters.

which the countess says:
"Since the Conservative party is try
ing TO overawe the government by
threats of civil war, il is high time that

necessary, the rights secured 10 Ire

Rifles Carried in Streets.
A dispatch to The Daily Mail" from
Belfast says that on Monday last at
night two Ulster Volunteers. wearing
full kit and carrying rifles, were
stopped by policemen, who took their
names and addresses and warned them
they would be summoned for carrying
arms without license. Nothing more
was heard OF the incident from the
authorities, but it was reported 70 the
Ulster Inner Council" and it appears
certain that no more Ulster volunteers
will be stopped by the police.
