CONSCIENCE FUND
GETS IRISH HELP
Veteran Of Civil War, Now of
County Clare, Sends Fifty
Pounds to United States.

From a little parish in County Clare,
Ireland. came today to the conscience
fund of the Treasury draft for 80
pounds sterling, the largest contribu-
ton to the conscience fund for many
months 1t is the first from Europe in
years.

veteran of the civil war. who returned
to ireland after the war and has spent
his life farming on the "aul sod"
Some time ago Chief Clerk Wilmeth.
Ireland which said that the writer wrote
at the request of this veteran The
veteran had, the writer stated. de-
frauded the Government out of ESQ
when a soldier by making false re-
turns His conscience had smittcn
him about this ever since and being old
and near the end Of life he desired to
make restitution.
The friend he has obtained to write
asked IL the Government would not
''condone the offense'' and let the old
veteran keep the money.
Mr.. Wilmeth considered the matter
for a while. and then wrote back that
could condone an ofrense unless more
was known as to how II was committed.
Mr.. Wilmeth and others at the Treasury
guess that by making false RETURNS
Is some reference to the commissary or
quartermaster's department. and that Is
as far as guessing can go. Mr.. Will
meth suggested that the friend supply
the particulars and the name of the
veteran.
Today came an answer to this letter
1t came sin the form Of the draft for the
fifty pounds. The veteran has evidently
declined to furnish any details Of his
ancient offense. but Is clearing his con-
science by sending the money.
