IRELAND SUPPLIES RECRUITS

Dublin, Oct. 5.-The number Of
new recruits for the British army OBJ
tanned in Ireland, according to the
Press dispatches, amounts to about
10000. More than 5000 of these are
from the Dublin district, 1000 from
Cork district and the remainder
from Belfast. Not all the Belfast re-
cruits are Unionists, nor are all the
southern recruits Nationalists. The
Belfast Nationalists claim to have
furnished 5000 of the Belfast re-
cruits which number, relative to their
total population. is larger than the
proportion supplied by the Unionists.
Many of the southern recruits be-
long to football and athletic clubs.
There is not such a rush to join
the colors from the agricultural dis
tricts as was anticipated, as there is
a lack of men Of available age. Emil

interest, did she not willingly bear
her share in its burdens and its sac

We have. even when no ties Of
sympathy bound our country to Great
Britain, always given our quota, and
more than our quota, to the firing
line, and we shall do so now.
We have right, however, to claim
that Irish recruits for the Expedi-

gether as a unit, officered as far as
possible by Irishmen, composed If
possible. of county battalions, to
form, in fact. an Irish Brigade" so
that Ireland may gain national credit
for their deeds, and feel, like other
communities of the Empire. that she
too has contributed an army bearing
her name in this historic struggle.

of this Irish Brigade, for service
abroad, our Volunteers must be put

In conclusion, would appeal to
our countrymen of different creed,
and of opposite political opinions, to
accept the friendship we have so con-
sistently offered them to allow this
great war, as to which their opinions
and ours are the same, and our ac-
tion will also be the same, to swal-
low up the small issues in the do
mestic government of Ireland which
now divide us; that, as our soldiers
are going to fight, to shed their
blood, and to die at each others side,
in the same army, against the same
enemy and for the same high pur-
pose, their union in the field may
lead to union in their home, and
that their blood may be the seal that
will bring all Ireland together in one
nation, and in liberties equal and
common to all. ]. E. REDMOND.

The whole-hearted endorsement by
the Irish people and the Irish Volun-
teers of the spirit of my declaration,
made on the impulse of the moment
and without seeking for any condi-
tions whatever, that the defense OF
Ireland might safely be left to the
sons of Ireland themselves, shows the
profound change which has been
brought about in the relations of Ire.
land to the Empire by the events OF
the past three years.
The Irish people know and apprec-
late the fact fully, that at long last
after centuries of Misunderstanding
the democracy of Great Britain has
finally and irrevocably decided tc
trust them, and to give them back
their national liberties.
BY overwhelming British majori,
ties a Charter of Liberty for ireland
has been three times passed by the
House of Commons, and is now the
law of the land. A new era has
opened in the history of the two ma.
tiOns.
During the long discussion of the
Irish problem in Parliament and or
the platform we promised the Brit,
ish people that the concession of Ii.
berty would have the same effect in
Ireland as in every other part of the
Empire. and notably, in recent years
in South Africa, that disaffectior
would give way to friendship and
goodwill, and that Ireland would be-
come a strength, instead of weak
ness, to the Empire.
The democracy of Great Britiar

Future of Irish Bill is Uncertain Says
Visitor to New York.
New York, Oct. 5.-The future Of
the Irish Home Rule Bill depends
in some measure on the duration and
result Of the European war, in the
opinion of Timothy Healy, Irish
member of the British Parliament,
who arrived from Liverpool on the
Cunard liner Campania. To some ex-
tent Iriland owed the enactment of
the bill to the present conflict, Mr..
Healy said.
There must be a general election
in 1916" he continued. "and If the
war lasts a year the liberals will GER
tainly be returned and therefore will
have the home rule bill to handle.
If the war is over in a short time,
he feared a conservative victory and
what he believed would be conse-
quent complications of the situation
as regarded Ulster.

"No, the case of Belgium and
Reims will serve as but poor excuses
for Mr.. Redmond's extraordinary
stand at this juncture. and to my
mind the attitude of an Irish Nation

war against a nation with which they

which appeals neither to their inter-
ests nor their sentiments, is sorry

The copper box taken from the

opened in the presence of a large
company at the residence of Arch
bishop Ireland Tuesday afternoon.
Water had leaked into the box, and
the documents were so damp and
lnoldy that no attempt was made to
Gecipher them.
Warren Upham of the State His
torical society stated that it will be
possible to read some of the papers
when they have dried.
Besides the documents the box
contained several old coins, including
a United States copper cent of 1853,
three Canadian coins of similar de-

coined in 1855.

/ Archbishop Ireland Speaks
for Intervention in Mexico

That the United States stands re-
sponsible before the world for the
preservation of order in Mexico and
should intervene to suppress the civil
disorder and persecution of the
church, was the declaration Of Arch
bishop Ireland at the pro-Cathedral
of st. Mary, Sunday when speaking
on the subject of Peace.
Pointing out that the prayer for
peace should not be confined to Eur
ope. but should be universal in its
application, Archbishop Ireland said:
"Let us also pray for peace in our
neighboring republic of Mexico
where bandits prowl about for pill
lage. trying to do away with every
thing that is sacred and conducting
religious prosecutions and atrocious
things for whatever temporary gain
may come to them-because the
church in Mexico is not running day
after day to every revolution that
comes up, but takes stand for the
preservation of law and order.
1.-The acts of these bandits chal-
lenge the attention and the interven-
tion of the United States because by
intervening before, we have assumed
a responsibility. So long as these
attacks on priests and nuns and the
church continue, the United States
stands responsible before the eyes of
the world and Almighty God Him

Collection of Taxes.

And finally. and this is the last Of
the reservations. finally. when the
Irish deficit is paid off-as it will be
in a comparatively short number Of
years. owing to the general increase
of prosperity in 1reland-then we
shall obtain the collection of Irish
taxes into our hands. The one out
standing service is land purchase,
and remember that that service by
it's very nature is of itself of transi-
tory character. say quite frankly
to you that, in my belief, any reason
able or thoughtful man can not COM
plain that while this system Of land
purchase is being carried out by Inn
perial credit. that the Imperial au-
thority should insist on fully safe
guarding the security for the loans.
II you consider for a moment any
thing else would bring land purchase
to an absolute deadlock; it would
make the floating of Land Stock alb
solutely impossible, and as men who
desire to see land purchase not only
continued and completed, we don't
want that the Imperial authority,
which guarantees these-loans Of a
couple Of hundred millions, should
not maintain a governing hand over
everything relating to the security
for the loans. But. as I point out to
you. even that the reservation is q

Reserved Services.

Reserved Services.
"Let me deal with what was called
Reserved Services-services over
which England for a time will keep
control. will point out at first to
you about these services that most
of them in fact, all of them that we
care about, will come with automatic
precision under the control Of Ireland
in a comparatively few number of
years. There are two classes of ex-
emptions. First, there are the things
I say here to-day we don't want and
don't ask for. For example, ques-
tions connected with the Crown and
the succession of the Crown, with the
army and navy with foreign rela-
tions, with coinage, and matters of
that nature. They are the first class,
which I say we never asked for and
don't want; and there is also in this
class the reservation with reference
to the religious ascendancy. There
are provisions in the bill which would
make it impossible for the Irish Par
lament to enact laws with the OBJ
ject of interfering with the civil
and religious rights or property Of
any man because of his religious per-
suasion. We know perfectly well.
and the Protestants in this hall know
as well as the Catholics, that these
safeguards are unnecessary, but
have said in dealing with the ques-,
ton for years past that, though I
believe them unnecessary and though
in a sense, indeed, they are humili-
ating to our national pride, still as
long as there were a dozen men in
ireland of our race and kin to enter
tain honest fears upon this subject,
I would be willing to put any con-
ceivable safeguard into the bill to lull
their suspicious to rest. I, therefore,
say, I believe most truthfully, in
your name. that we accept these
safeguards; that we say to our Prot
estant fellow-countrymen that they
are unnecessary, but If any single
man thinks they are necessary we
are willing that they should be in.
Now the second class of subjects re-
served from our control is reserved
only for certain time. We get con-
troll of the Royal Irish Constabulary
at the end of six years, and, mark
you, when we get control of the force
at the end of six years the cost of
the services will continue to be paid
from Imperial sources, and we will
benefit on any economies that we
may make. We get control of the
Old Age Pensions system within one
year, and again I ask you to mark
that the cost of the system will con-
tinue to be paid after we have taken
it over out of Imperial sources, and
that any economies we make
in the administration will go to the
benefit of Ireland. The same thing
is true Of the Insurance Act, and
after ten years we get control of the
Irish Savings Bank. I am not dis
closing any secret when I tell you
that we thought the reservation Of
the Savings Bank for a certain num-
Der of years would be useful in or
der to prevent a plot being set on
foot to damage Irish credit and dam
age Irish Government.
