LAST BDITION ULSTER SWINGS * ~*~ SOIDIERS FIGHT FRE _ ~~ INTO LINE On the Home Rele Eill Being Devised. THE UMONIST COUNCIL coed WILL GIVE LLOYD-GEORGE'S PROPOSALS A CHANCE. * Authorize Carson to Enter Negotia- tions--Opinion in Dublin Regard- ing the Proposals is Much Dividéd. Belfast, June 14.--The Ulster Unionist Council has discussed David Lloyd-George's proposals for the set: tlement of the Ir'sh question. Delegates from Counties Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal have protest- ed against the revival of the Home Rule controversy in the absence of many signers of the Ulster covenant in the war. They protested against any settle- ment excluding their counties from Ulster, but if the six counties consid- ered the safety of the Empire depend- ed on the continuance of negotiations on the proposed basis the responsi- bility must be theirs and the three counties must abide by their decision. The council ultimately adopted ,a reselution reaffirming its abhorrence of Home Rule and declining responsi- bility for establishing it in any part of Ireland, declaring, however, that the Cabinet opened proposals to tend to strengthen the Empire and help win the war, the council felt that it was its duty to make sacrifices, and consequently authorized Sir Edward Carson to continue negotiations on the proposed basis and to complete them if the details satisfied him. The council pledged itself in the event that settlement is made on the basis of the exclusion of six counties that they would do the utmost in the future to protect Unionists in the un- excluded three counties against the injustice and oppression of the Irish Parliament while if the negotiations proved abortive, they will reserve complete freedom of action, Sir Edward Carson, in a subse- quent speech, said that this, on the whole, was the saddest visit he had ever paid to Ulster, because, although they had attained something, they had not realized all they were fight- ing for. But the exigencies of the Empire were paramount, he said, and he would continue negotiations to the end and procure the best terms he could for Ulster, which, he declared, "this day played a noble part," { Dublin Divided, Dublin, June 14.--Public opinion | regarding Lloyd-George's prosposals | is not hopeful about the success of the scheme. Of four daily newspapers, two Unionist and two Nationalist, pub- lished in Dublin, three condemn the proposed scheme of settlement. The only newspaper supporting it is the official Nationalist organ, the Free- man's Journal, which assumed that John Redmond had accepted the scheme. The Irish Independent raises the important point that the scheme must | fail to secure the Government's ob-| ject of propitating Irish opinion in| the United States. It urges that no; scheme which fails to appease Ireland can hope to appeal to America. The présemt state of affairs in Ire land is not satisfactory. The Sinn Fein element in Dublin is beginning to reassert itself even under martial law. Sinn Fein badges are worn freely in the streets and demonstra- tions of disloyalty have been made in motion picture houses and other places. The possibility of further unrest or mischief is not negligible and respon- sible Irishmen await the development of Lloyd-George"s efforts'with some anxiety. The feeling of many moderate men | on both sides of the question that the scheme ought to be dropped for the present has been strengthened by Mr. Redmond's revelation' of 'its tempor- ary character. to a blue-blooded Shetland p Mrs. Asquith i§ Lady Churston the actress, and one of the mo England.

The loss is placed at $4,000, with very little insurance. How the fire started is a mystery. No ploded, but this is not known. Martin was on her way to the Hotel Dieu to see her mother, who is seri- ously ill, and had only got about one hundred yards away from the house when she happened to turn around and noticed that the house was in flames. An alarm was given and among the field camp. They worked like Tro- jans and did all they could to prevent the fire from spreading. Owing to the fact that there is no system for fighting fires in Barrlefield, a bucket brigade had to be formed. HON. J. R.
