.\ii alarming note was sounded to¬ day by Lloyd George in a message which he conveyed to a mass meet- I mg of Liberal's at Huddorsfield. Dis- ! cussing Ulster and the attitude of the : ¦Jnioni.sts, he said: ¦
"Liberali.sm will not flinch o le inch before the arrogant and insolonl plague of Torryism. The country i? confronted w-ith the gravest issue ir • the history of democratic .govern- ' ment since the days of the Stuarts llepresontativo government In thli land is at stake.

England never has faced such a revolt In Irejand. Ulster is alive with volunteers. They are well armed and wait only for the rlngins of the church bells and the lighting of the watch fires to assemble. For months they hav» ijeon drilling. Every vil- laRo has its company or part of a company and in the practically 100 miles .sguare of country, tliere arc i 100.000 men ready to respond to the j calls to arm.s. I
The homes of the leaders, partlcu- I Iarly that of .Sir Edw^ard Carson, thej Ulster Unionist leader is the scene'of ] military acti>-ity. There i.« cannons mounted before their homes, and vol¬ unteers under arms are quartered on tho premises.
