OVER 100000 IRISH
 IN WAR SAYS REDM0N

LONDON. Dec. 6.-Speakng at Taum Ireland, today, John E.~Red= mund, leader Of the Nationalist Party quoted official statistics showing that although emigration had drawn from Ireland the flower of her population, there were serving with the British military forces on Nov. 90, S9,OOO Irishmen who had been in the army before the war began, or who had joined as reseryists or recruits. If to that were added tens of thousands Of Irish recruits who were joining the colors in Great Britain or were now In the ranks of the Canadian Aus. trallan or New Zealand contingents, he said. it was safe to say from 100.- 900 to 100000 Irishmen were with the colors.
 Mir. Redmond declared that 52,OO0 of the S9.OOO Irishmen in the home army were Catholics He said that 1O,112 Ulster Volunteers had gone to the colors from Belfast, while in the same city the Nationalist Volunteers, who represented only a quarter of the population, had contributed S,51S men. This, he believed, was only the be- ginning of what Irishmen would be.
 Mir. Redmond said the men who op- posed the treaty Of peace between the Nationalists and Democracy of Eng land must be divided into "separa- lists. Socialists or common or garden cranks," but that they were not and never had been Home Rulers. When the constitutional movement had been brought to a triumphal end and Ire land haa her own Parliament they would disappear, he declared.-(New York World.)
