Even Before Bill Is Read.

London, Dec. 22.-Premier Lloyd
George was ready at the opening of
parliament today to announce the de-
tails of the government Irish home
rule bill. This measure, which will,
it is believed give a large amount of
autonomy to Ireland, has been. ac-
cording to recent statements, modelled
after the state government system of
the United States. .....-...-s
Two legislatures, one for Ulster and
one for Southern Ireland, would be
provided, and the way is left open for
a union of the two sections, should
they decide to take this step. Fullest
possible freedom would be accorded
the Irish Legislatures in administering
the affairs of the island while in mat
ters affecting the empire, Ireland
would have a voice in the imperial
parliament. ....--
Comments in this mornings news

garding any. improveme ents in the sit

interest is evidenced but the outlines
of the home rule bill are; quite well
known, and nobody expects the gov
ernment's proposals to be accepted by
the bulk of the Irish people.
Opposition Already Strong.
Neither Joseph Devlin. or other ma
tionalist members of parliament are
expected to attend the meeting today,
which is regarded as showing. their
minds are already made up in an ad-
verse sense. 1t is stated Sir Edward
Carson and his followers will accept

Ulster, but this is likely to antagonize.
