SCARCE
IN IRELAND NOW
Better Class of Laborers
Have Left the Country
and Wages Are Low.
From The Tribune Correspondent


Lordon. July 11.-"Back to Ireland! y
may not be the slogan Of many o. the
best workers on the land who have left
the country, but it Is that OF the land
owner in ireland, who now faces ar
acute rural problem, as does England,
so far as il concerns the wages and
hours of the agricultural labOrer.
Much light has been thrown upon
the condition Of the agricultural mar
ket in the Emerald Isle in the annual
report % the Irish Department OF
Agriculture and Technical Instruction,
which has just been issued.
For many years. the report asserts
there has been a marked scarcity of ag-
ricultural laborers, and it is becoming
more and more acute. In 1911 there
were 10000 such laborers, OF whom
l95,864 were male and 4,036 female,
against 231.S7l in 1901. o. whom 2l7,-
$50 wcre male and 14.219 females.
The general laborers in 1911 num-
bered 102.099 100000 males. 1.l3e fe-
male5), compared with 79,035 in 1901
1880 males, 2.l65 females. Besides
there has been a decline in efficiency
among Irish laborcrs, the best labor
has left the country and farmers com
plain a. much OF the lack OF efficiency
as OF the difficulty Of getting men.
On June /. 1912. there were l,073.238
persons actively engaged in farm work.
Or these 7a9 .65S were members OF
farmers families. l60.sl9 were other
permanent laborcrs and inc remainder
were persons temporarily employed.
Taken all round, the report declares,
there arc signs Of slight but steady
advance IN real wages, which is due.
10 doubt. 70 rise IN the cost and
standard cf living and TO a decrease in
the numer OF lsborers available for
farm work IN consequence Of emigra-
ton TO other countries, migration TO
towns ard the employment Of direct
labor uDon roads.
Wage. however. are still very low.
PloUghnen obtain the highest The
usual daily wage current in 1913 was
in effect from 30 cents to 81 cents,
while women got from 81 cents 10 10
cents. Eleven hours constitute a
working day during the six months
from April TO November. with an hour
for dinner, while in the winter the
working period extends from light 10
darkness.

rom re lFaNAN- q OF A'a f'IA's'tt'
London. July l1.-"John Bull" has
produced this week a remarkable story
Indicating the Servian Legation IN
London in the assassination OF Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand Of Austria. 1t
has been more or less openly noised
about London for some time that about
eight months ago Servia organized a
secret service bureau, with the hehd-
quarters az the Servian Legation IN
London, al that time at 30 Pont ST.
but afterward moved. first TO Belgrave
Mansions and then 10 Queens Gate.
The organization of this secret ser
vice was supposed TO be counter
move against Austria. the latter coun-
try being understood TO be actively
supplying money and arms 10 Bulgaria
for offensive operations against ser
via.
The Servians found that many OF
their agents had been imprisoned by
tho Ausfrians. and John Bull alleges
thu. in February the Servians decided
that every Austrian agent captured IN
Servia should be secretly killed. But
there was traitor in the Servian ser
vice who communicated TINS decision
10 the Austrian Embassy in London
and the embassy sent the information
to Colonel Albin Driegall, high OF
fetal in the Austrian secret service IN
Vienna. This, in turn. became known
10 tho Servians. and thereupon, accord
ing % John Bull" another measure Of
retaliation was decided upon, which

TRAN throne
Now comes the remarkable statement
that the plans for the murder Of Fran
els Ferdinand we're laid at the Servian
Legation in London. Assassins, II is
alleged, we're hired for the work, SlO,.

upon. John Bull" claims TO be IN a

ENGLISH PIGEON
FLIES 1901 MILES
Many Valuable Birds Lost
in the Racing Sea-
son of 1914.
From The Tribune correspondent

London, July 1.-THE pigeon racing
season of 1914 will long be remem-
bered By fanciers, particularly because
many birds have been lost in several
notable races. The direction of the
wind has been generally from an east
erly or northeasterly direction, and for
some reason when the wind is that
way the birds do not seem to fly we'll
or return with irregularity across the
channel.
The longest DISTANCE that has been
accomplished in England. which stands
as the long distance English record
was in the race flown from Rome last
year. when a pigeon owned by {. H..
Hudson. OF Derby. flying l,0Ol miles 10
Derby. won the Rome race. This IS
the best long distance record in the
United Kingdom. Several one-day rec
ords have been made in 500 and 500
mile races.

It is explained that it is no uncommon

the greatest assets 20 the pigeons par

education of these birds. As an eX-
ample proving that instinct fails II
birds cannot see their way, race
that was organized from York this

the subject. During the early morning
at York it was foggy, while later a
