GREAT EXODUS" OF.
FRESHMEN TO ]. s.
B R AN De D A MYTH

Dublin. Ireland, Nov 3O.-The Irish emf
grafton on returns for the month of Octo-
Der contradict the stories as to the great
exodus" of Irishmen to the United States
to escape CONSUMPTION. The government
official return shows that in the month
just passed 1908 men and 7Ol women emil
grated from Ireland to all parts of the
world. The figures for the same month
last year were 800 men and 1872 women.
There is thus decrease In emigration
for the month of 396 men and 23l women.
The record is very similar If the whole
ten months of this year is compared with
the same months last year. Last year the
total emigration from Ireland to all parts
of the world in the ten months was 1905
men and 1854 women. This year 1t has
fallen to 5.662 men and 1854 women.
The official figures also contradict the
story that the passagess of the flying
slackers' were paid for by German
gold" sent over from America. One thou
sand. one hundred and siXty-fve of the
l1o4 emigrants in october went to the
United States and of these the passages
of only u were prepaid from the United
States, in accordance with the old prac-
! tice by which Irish emigrants who have
settled in the United States send home
the passage money of friends and rela-
tives they have left behind. For the 10
months of this year of ISIS emgrants to
tho United States 80 had their passages
prepaid Last year in the same 10 months
out of 147li who went to the United
States 3,649 had their passages paid for
them.
1t is true, however, that the desire to
avoid entering the army has been added to
the other causes of emigration The
methods Of recruiting adopted in some dis
tricts, especially in the west Of Ireland,
before the business was taken over by a
responsible department under the control
of the lord lieutenant, We're often very ILL
judged. and irrtated instead Of conciiat-
Is the people. Threats instead of persua-
sion We're sometimes used. and the people
were told that if they did not come will
lngly they would be taken by the scruff
of the neck and forced in under conscrip-
ton. Shortly following upon these threats
came the invitation of the lord lieutenant
distributed by circular to almost every
house in every parish in Ireland. Though
1t was purely voluntary, the people in
some cases Jumped to the erroneous con-
clusion that here at last was the fulfil
ment of the threat. Wounded soldiers had
returned to many districts, and when the
tales were told of the seventies of the
fighting, especially at Suvla bay, moth
ers were frightened for their sons and
one old woman sold her COW to pay the
! passage of her hoy to America.
The declarations of the Irish party
against conscription, and the assurances
of its leaders in public speeches that 1t
Will never be applied to Ireland were ac-
cepted, however, by the great bulk of the
people. and though 1,p9 men left Ireland
