THE ULSTER VOLUNTEERS.
[To THE EDITOR or TIM "Sracrams."] SIR,—It will have possibly occurred to others of your readers that the wind blowing through Ulster may, like all winds not altogether ill, blow somebody some good, even the Govern- ment. The warlike feeling seems certainly to be working up an inspired and serviceable, if not officially condoned, army. The Ulster Volunteer Force may next year be calculated by Colonel Seely (or whoever the Secretary for War may be) as a useful part of the Territorial Army. You will agree that we must make up that deficiency somehow. Perhaps the Government are already thinking of that. On the same lines, it might be worth their while to bring in a drastic Home Rule Bill for Scotland, and tear the Lowlands and the Highlands into factions ; or a Bill to abolish the kilt in Scottish regiments might work the same end. Every little helps, so let us wait and see with a cheerful heart. —I am, Sir, &o., Chelsea. AN OVERSEAS ENGLISHMAN.
