there are still many parts of the coun-

WINSTON CHURCHILL MAKES A
VERY STIRRING SPEECH AT
BRADFORD, YORKSHIRE.
He LOOKS FOR A GREAT EXPLOSION
A Settlement of Irish Home Rule Diff

Offered by the Premier.

London-Winston Spencer Church
i'll, first lord of the British admiralty,
speaking at Bradford, Yorkshire, Sat
urday concerning the preparations be-
ing made in Ulster to resist home
rule, said:
1.-THE first British soldier or coast
guard who is attacked and killed by
the Orangemen will raise such an ex-
plosion in this country as the tories
little appreciate, and it will shake the
foundations of society"
Percy Holden Illingworth, the chief
liberal whip in the house of commons,
speaking at the same meeting, said
there would be no general election I'M
til the home rule for Ireland, Welsh
disestablishment and the plural voting
bills had been passed by parliament.
A settlement of the Irish home rule

advanced by the British governments

deadlock remains as immovable as be-
