"' After. a brief sentence or two from Andrew Bonar Law. leader of the oppo sition, asking for -the presentation to the house of details which had been omitted from the "white paper," Col onel Seely opened his defense.

This was gen erally accepted as confirmation of the report of the secretary for war's res ignation. The house of commons buzzed with excitement and was crowded to its ut most capacity when Lord Chfjles Beresford opened the attack on the government Dy demanding informa tion as to the naval movements in con nection with the situation in Ulster. "Was the battle squadron ordered to steam at full speed from Spanish wa ters to the Irish coast and ordered to embark field guns?" he asked. Amid ministerial cheers and derisive laughter from the unionists, Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the ad miralty, admitted that the battle squad ron had been ordered to Lamlash "so as to be in proximity to the coast of Ireland in case of serious disturbance arising. When it was clear that .ue military precautionary movements had been carried out without opposition it was decided that this movement cf the fleet could be delayed until the Easter leave period was over." The statement of the first lord was followed by a cyclone of questions. . unionist member asked if Mr. Churchill expected that "this precautionary movement of troops would lead to fighting." In a moment the first lord flared up. "I repudiate the hellish suggestion,' he shouted.

Potts to the navy active list and promote him to be a rear admiral was killed today by the senate naval affairs commit tee. Captain Potts was "plucked" on the eve of his promotion and sev eral naval officers of note testified that his case was an exceptional one. The committee decided the bill set a troublesome precedent. By Associated Press. London, March 23. Documents made public today officially revealed that the British government gave of ficers in Ireland a written guarantes that it would not use the rjrmy to crush Ulster's political oppositlcn to the home rule bill. The correspon dence, however, points out that the government retains its right to use the army to maintain law and order. Orders issued by the war office about duties of the army in Ireland, chiefly in connection with the protec tion of government stores, arms and ammunition, are given very complete ly. The correspondence, Lowever, omits the verbal communication made by General Sir Arthur Paget to the officers at the Curragh camp which led to their resignations and which tne government argues was the re sult of a "misunderstanding." That the version of General Paget's communication read by Andrew Bonar Law, opposition leader in the house of commons on Monday, was substan tially correct seems clearly indicated. Mr. Law on that occasion read a let ter in which General Paget stated that "active operations were to begin against Ulster and that it was expect ed the country would be in a blaze by Saturday. The Irish commander-in-chief wrote that he was in close communication I with the war office and had received instructions from headquarters to no tify his officers that those of them domiciled in Ulster -would -be--allowed to disappear and be' afterward rein stated. They must, however, give their word of honor not to fight for Ulster. In the published correspondence Brig. Gen. Hubert Gough underlines phrases' such as "active operations when asking for further information and it appears evident that he was quoting the remarks of General Paget After an Interview witn uoionei aeeyi .igadier General Hubert Gouga wrote to the war office: "One of the first questions asked by our officers will be: 'In the event of the present home rule bill becom ing law can we be called upon to en force it on Ulster under the expres sion of maintaining law and order? This point should be made quite clear. Otherwise there will be renew ed misconceptions." v In reply to this Brig. Gen. Gough was given a letter initialed by Color.el Seely as war secretary and by Field Marshal Sir John French in which he was authorized to Inform the officers as follows: "The army council is satisfied that the incident which has arisen in re gard to their resignations was due to a misunderstanding." The letter continues' that it is the duty of soldiers to obey commands for the protection of life and property and fci support of the civil power in the event of disturbance and the army council is glad there never has been and never will be any question of disobeying such orders, it con tinues: "The government must retain its right to use all the forces of the crown in Ireland or elsewhere to , maintain or der and suport the civil power in the ordinary execution of their duty but it has no intention whatever ot taking advantage of this right In or der to crush political opposition to the policy or the principles of the home rule bill." London.' March 25. Mutiny of a sec tion of the officers of the British reg ular army in Ireland when they be lieved they were to be ordered to fight the Ulstermen was again before par liament today.

"Nevertheless it added to the pleas ure of doing tbat to reflect that there by we should have more trade with you.

He delivered that message cot to pleaee yon Tmt to express the tru sentiment and self-respect of the American nation. As I Interpret It hi was the voice of the people. Neverthe less It adds to the pleasure of hear ing that voice to know that it does please you."

I sometimes read that the United States entering upon a policy to discour age foreign investments there. That la untrue. 1 think that some events are happening there that have discour aged them somewhat, bat I hope that they cannot be charged to the United States. "There Is a policy forming In tb minds of our government and our peo ple which Is cot new that would dis courage such Investments or such con cessions as would carry with them the control of. tv9 government In any of thos states and only such, for as far as jthe United States Is concerned you know how heartily wo have wel comed your investments in our. land and still welcome them and always will.

"The Monroe doctrine meant this. when it was first formulated, that the United States would object to any European governments taking jaore land in the new world. In those days the only way that a foreign govern ment could gain le.cd was literally to go and take it. Now we have more refined methods of exploitation, and there are other ways to take it That is the only protest that the United States has ever whispered. You will, I am sure, understand why the United States prefers that no land In the new world should be acquired in these new subtle ways.
