TP.pUBLElNULSTER
FIRST IIEPORTS OF CIVIL WAR
AUK DWINDLING
Trouble Arives Over Refusal of Many
ProteMants to Accept Home
Rule Situation Unsettled
. LRtest reports from the Ulster,
Ireland situation indicate that a
much easier feeling was created
throughout the entire IJritlsh Isles
by the reassuring statement given
out by Premier Asquith to the effect!
that the troops movements had been
ordered only as a precautionary mea
eiirA for the nrotection of govern
ment property, and the chances of a j
civil war in Ireland looks more im
probable than first reports had it.
It is reported that at least 70 per
cent cf the officers of the Infantry
battilions of regulars quartered in
Ulster would refuse to serve In a
campaign against the providence.
The disturbed situation In North
ern Ireland is due to the avowed re
fusal of many Protestant residents
of Ulster to accept home rule and tc
their having armed themselves,
threatening to resist by force if IriU
rule is thrust upon them. The total
population of Ireland Is about 4,
500,000. Approximately 500,000
are Protestants, but not all Protest
ants oppose home vule.
However, the recent halt in active,
preparations to coerce Ulster or ra
ther to resist the coersion by Ulster
by no means is taken to signify
11, ut the situation is settled. Par
liament yet has the home ri.la bill
before it and if Aoulth tdia'.l bad:
down on tho program and refuse to
,'..-8 the bill this third and linal year
his troubles will be many. England
has indeed made a sorry ancetacle o
herself but there is a further crisis
to anticipate if the home rule bill is
put upon its passage and there Is no
escape from it unless King Cieorge
shall dissolve Parliament and thus
defer the matter until after another
election.
Skirmish With Federuls
A news dispatch from Eagle Pass,
Texas, dated March 23, says Ameri
can soldiers and Mexican federals
exchanged shots Sunday at McGee
crossing on the Klo Grande, in
which several federal soldiers were
killed.
The firing followed the crossing
of the river by constitutionalists
who were being pursued by federals.
The constitutionalists preferred sur
rendering to the Americans rather
than their foes, but the latter kept
up their Pre after their Intended
victims had crossed the river. His
signals to cease firing Ignored
the American Commander ordered
his men to return the shots which
had a deadly effect.,

'1 am confident that war with
Mexico is coiyinr. end I urn going to
udviso tho national guard of this
state to be prepared, for I um sure
it can count upon being railed out
before long," said Governor Weal
after returning to Salem from the
Mexican border, which he visited af
ter spending several days in Wash
ington, D. C. While on tua border,
where he made a personal inquiry
into conditions, Governor West
crossed over into Juarez, Mexico.
"Tne day Is not fur distant when
the United States will be compelleo
to declare war," asserted governor
West. "I cannot conceive of any
thing happening in the near future
that will restore Mexico to a settled
condition. With this condition pre
vailing and the United States uphold
ing the Monroe doctrine, It is only a
matter i. time when pressure
brought to bear by other nations and
by American citizens will become so
great that the United States will
become forced to take a band."
Governor West said he heartily
approved the attitude of President
Wilson, but thought the President
eventually would be forced to send
soldiers across the border.
