Irish towns and villages recruiting SER
geants are trying TO entrap thought
less Irish boys TO join the British
army"
This document emanates from the
Irish Transvaal committee and the
Government is urged by the mlniste-
rial press to prosecute its authors.
The manifestation of sympathy with
the Beers through public meetings and
the press in Ireland is bitterly resent
ed here.
English home-rulers declare that
such action absolves them from furth-
er adhesion to Gladstone's policy.
ARIsTOCRATS IN THE WAR.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Among the
guards officers who leave tonight for
the scene of war is the Hon. Gerald
Ward, aged p, son of the Countess OF
Dudley. He married Lady Evelyn
Crichton, aged p, on Tuesday last.
Some criticism has been indulged in
because the parents of both sides per-
mitted this marriage before war, but
the truth is the young people decided
the question for themselves, being des-
perately attached to each other.
Among other departures today are
Lord Howard de Walden, who had
leave for a week to attend his fathers
funeral on Wednesday. Lady Evelyn
Crichton also has two brothers at or
on the way to the front. The Marquis
of Dufferin has three sons on the
Transvaal border in Natal The Mar
Quis of Tully Bardine, heir of the
Duke Of Athol, who married a most
beautiful girl, Miss Ramsay, two

The three Tecks, brothers of the Ouch

ca. Lord Edmund Talbot, only broth

Two sons and next heirs to Lord ST.
Clair Of the oldest barony in Scotland
are there, as well as the two only sons
of the War Secretary, the Marquis Of
| Landsdowne, while the Duchess of
Buccleuch has two sons and a son-in-
law at the front The Earl of Long
ford, married on Wednesday to the

| Lord Edward Cecil, Salisbury's third
son, is in Mafeking, and Lord and
Lady Tweedmouth, Lord Randolph
| Churchill's sister, took leave of their
only child today, the Hon Dudley Mar

In fact, there is hardly an aristo-

| one engaged in some way in the war
| like operations in South Africa.
