Prosperity Seems to Be Assured to the People of the Irish Soil-Mayor of Dublin Is Very In-
 dignant

Dublin, September, 22.-(Special.) )-One of the notable features of the trend of travel from America to Ireland this year Is the visit of over 12,0O0 Americans or Irish Americans. Under the auspices of the Irish Home-going association hundreds of Irish have come back temporarily for a visit and to renew the ties which bind their hearts to the old island. Enthusi- astic greetings everywhere in Ireland have welcomed them.
 F. J. Kilkenny, president of the Irish going association; J. D. Sullivan, national secretary; the Hon. T. V. Pow derly, Gen. M. Emmet Uroll and l.. V. Woulfe, representing the American Ma tional Council, were met by delegations at Queenstown.
 The vast majority of those people have been unquestionably impressed by the great work of the Irish homecoming as- sociation hundreds of Irish have come back temporarily for visit and to re- new ties which bind their hearts to the old island Enthusiastic greetings every where in Ireland have welcomed them.
 MT. Sullivan, national secretary, in an interview, said the people of America, not only those of Irish descent but all of them, take a greater interest in Irish affairs today than they have ever taken before. The newspapers are alive to this fact, and publish Irish news with great readiness. There Is general desire to learn more of the Emerald Isle and it's people. In all our public libraries there are to be found books upon Irish sub jects, which are frequently called for. The Irish Home-going association has been formed to induce those Americans who have read of Ireland to visit the land and see it for themselves. The idea so happily conceived by MT Francis J. Kill kenny has made remarkable progress
 Sir William H. Goulding, speaking in Dublin recently, said that reports from all parts of the country anticipated good harvest. He said that there can be no doubt that the land purchase In bring ing about better conditions in Irish az riculture.
 The lord mayor of Dublin is indignant. In fact his wrath has been accommodating until at present 1t is finding vent in statements as emphatic as those which Colonel Roosevelt is wont to utter.
 A recent edition of a reference work showing sociological data declared that Dublin is the most immoral city In Flu rope and equal only to Asia Minor towns. The lord mayor has given several de- nials of this islander andis preparing an- other statement to refute the charge with figures.
 The corporation has instructed the po- lice to take greater precautions in hand ling lawlessness.
