It is authoritatively stated in the Lobby that Mr. Asquith'e statement will be sweeping, and will involve extensive admidistra tive control of Ulster through its elected members, with the option of withdrawal from the rest of Ireland at the end of a certain period.

Plain Words.

The Daily News, in an editori al ander the bending, "King and Country," stated that they only needed the new league launched by Lord Milnor to reveal the true oharacter of the conspiracy which was confronting the country. It would be a mistake to any longer ignore the more sinister aspect of that conspiracy, Appeals to the King to intervane had been re- vived with great emphasis during the past few weeks, and there was. a widespread belief, which they shared, that those appeals had not been revived in vain. The editorial concluded by expressing its confidence in the King not to follow in the footsteps of "such blunderers" as George III, and William IV.

The Manifesto.

Mr: Walter Long, in a long letter to the Press, appeals for support to the manifesto of protest.
