CITY DESERTED.

NO UNTOWARD TNOIDENTS REPORTED.

LONDON, December 12.

The Prince of Wales paid an informal visit for a few hours on Monday to Allahabad. He slighted at the mall adjoining stations of Prayag and motored through the city. Hortal had been proclaimed and truth compels the admission with complete success. Save for groups of Europeane and occasional mere handfuls of upper class natives in the wall decorated streets, this city of 150,000 inhabitants was practically deserted. All traffic was suspended. The demonstration was quite passive in character. The Prince's programme was carried through in its entirety without incident. This included a visit to the University, a re- ception, a loyal address in the pretty Shanionna Government House, an inspection of the courts of justice, and a polo match in the afternoon. The same night the Prince of Wales left for Benares.

ULSTER OBQURATE.

POSITION GRAVE,"

CRAIG COUNSELS PRUDENCE,

LONDON, December 19. In the Ulster Parliament, Sir James Craig, the Premier, said that the position was grave. The treaty did not fulfil pledges to Ulster. He counselled prudence until the debates at Westminster had taken place. Ulster was determined to stand by her ideals and not to swerve an inch. The situation was never so complicated as that created by signing a treaty in which Ulster was not included and was not invited to sign. Sir James Craig recommended an attitude of courage and optimism If the people trusted the North Irish Government they would once more cautiously lead them to Victory.
