ULSTER'S PROTEST CIRCULATION FUND.

ITO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—May we appeal to you on behalf of the above fund ? We feel that the present crisis could not have occurred if the objections of Irish Unionists to Home Rule, and the questions at issue between them and the Irish Nationalists, were properly understood by the whole mass of the electorate in Great Britain. As a means of dispelling ignorance on these points, the systematic circulation of the " Protest " was urged from many quarters. The Committee of the Limavady Branch of the North Derry Women's Unionist Association took up the work of distribution last April. Since then they have been able, through the generous support of friends of the project, to send more than one hundred and fifty thousand copies to seventy-eight constituencies. We now appeal for help to enable us to send a supply to every division in Great Britain repre- sented by a supporter of Home Rule, and to those held by Unionists with a very small majority,—We are, Sir, &O., EILEEN IITAUSLAND, President.
