latlnK that KtiBlanil owes her beliie In
volved in the present war not to tho
Kaiser alone, hut also to tho Carionltes
and their aiders and abettors In Knuland
and Ireland. Tho Ulster Guanlinn pub
lishes a series of pro-German speeches
niacin by prominent Carsonltes, and em
phasises the slKnlllcanco of Captain
Craig's (a member of Parliament) ad

in Ulster; Sir Edward Cat son's lunching

Mauser rifles from Germany In Ulster by
Major Crawfoul. who boasted that in
tho ovont of homo tule, "ho would
Infinitely prefer to change IiIb allegiance
right over to tho Kmperor of Germany."
But that is not all. Tho Guardian goes
on to say:
in tno spring and oaily summer of
tho present year Ulster was overrun
with German coi respondents and
agents of tho German Government,
who sent back glowing accounts,
gleaned from Ulster Unionist sources,
of tho progress and strength of the
icbcl movement In tho province. Since
the outbreak of tho war two Germans
have been arrested, ono In Hclfnst,
who wus a member and a i III in
