GREAT EXODUS 0F THE IRISH |SA MYTH Emigration Returns for Oc- tOber Show Decrease Over
 Last Year

Dublin, Ireland, November 5.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press)-The Irish emigration returns for the month of October contradict the stories as to the
 great exodus of Irishmen to the United States to escape conscrption. The gov
 ernment official return shows that in the month just passed 1903 men and 7ol wom-
 en emigrated from Ireland to all parts of the world The figures for the same
 month last year were 1899 men and 932 women. There is thus decrease in
 emigration for the month of 396 men and
 231 women. The record is very similar if the whole 10 months Of this year Is com-
 pared with the same months last year. Last year the total emigration from Ire land to all parts of the world in the 10
 months was 10,095 men and 9654 women. This year it has fallen to 5662 men and 36s4 women
 The official figures also contradict the story that the passages of the flying slackers" were paid for by German
 gold,' sent over from America. One
 thousand, one hundred and sixty-1ve of
 the 1704 emigrants in October went to the United States, and of these the pass ages of only Y were prepaid from the United States. in accordance with the old practice by which Irish emigrants who
 have settled in the United States send home the passage money of friends and relatives they have left behind. For IS months of this year of 5S1S emigrants to the United tSates 505 had their passages prepaid. Last year in the same 10 months out of 14.714 who went to the United States 3649 had their passages paid for them It 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 districts, especially in the west of Ireland, before the business was taken over by a responsible department under the con- trol of the lord lieutenant. were often very i'll judged, and Irritated instead of consolidating the people. Threats instead of persuasion were sometimes used, and the people were told that if they did not
 come willingly they would be taken by the scruff of the neck" and forced in under conscription. shortly following these threats came the invitation of the lord lieutenant. distributed by circular to almost every house in every parish in Ireland. Though it was purely volun- tary, the people in some cases jumped to the erroneous conclusion that here at last was the fulflment of the threat.

Some Instances of Individual Valor That Have
 Won Decorations

London, December 5.-(correspondence of the Associated Press. )-More than 100 instances of individual bravery in the fighting at Loos and Hulluch six weeks ago are recounted in brief official notes appended to the latest list of awards of the military cross and distinguished service order. The 10 most striking stories are as follows;
 Captain Dennis. Scottish Borderers, was wounded in the trenches, but after his wound was banaaged he escaped from the ambulance and went back to his men, advancing with his company un- til again wounded. He was carried back to dressing station, from which he disappeared after his wound was dressed Later he was seen catching up with his company and again cheering them on until he was wounded a third time.
 Major Gordon, London artillery, got close up to the German lines to recon- noitre, and, although under heavy fire brought back F German captives after having shot one man with his revolver.
 Lieutenant Carr, London infantry, mo- ticed while directing the removal of grenades from the divisional dump" that the fuse of a bomb had become ig- nited. He at once picked it up and car ried it out of the dugout. It exploded just as it left his hand, seriously wound ing him. His coolness saved an explosion of many thousand grenades and bombs, which would have killed scores of men and destroyed the entire divisional bomb reserves during the heavy operations
 Capt. Bird, London field ambulance, on one occasion worked for g hours without cessation in tending and dressing the wounded. He was twice observed car ry1ng wounded on a stretcher under ri- file fire, and for 55 hours was continually exposing himself to heavy shellfire.

 the same month was four or five times that number.

Lieutenant Williams of the "Buffs," took charge of a small party of bombers and attacked the enemy, throwing 2000 bombs in r hours. It was raining all the time, and the damp fuses had to be lit from cigarettes. Williams was wounded early in the fighting, but re- fused to leave his post.
 Lieutenant Hollwey, Royal artillery, laid a telephone wire through the Hohen- zollern Redoubt under heavy fire. One leg was disabled before he had gone 10 yards, but he dragged himself on, the same leg being again fractured by bullet before he had finished his task When two telephonists endeavored to carry him to safety, he insisted that they leave him and tend the wire
 Lieutenant Pusch, London infantry, led party of bombers during the advance through Loos. Going alone into a house he captured seven Germans, although shot in the face by one of them, Not withstanding his wound he continued clearing the enemy out of the cellars of the town.
 Captain Williams, Welsh Guards was in command of 8 squad of machine guns After having wound dressed he went back to his place and continued to di- rect the work until midnight, although the nature of his wound compelled him to lie flat on his back all the time.
 Lieutenant Wood, Gordon Highlanders. took 215 prisoners in Loos, marched them back under heavy fire with a small es- cort, and returned with much needed ammunition for the men in the firing line Being by this time the only of flcer left in his company, he rallied it on the slope of Hill 70 and held his position with great braverg and re- source.
 Captain Kearsley, Welsh Frusiliers, al- though severely wounded early in the lighting, continued at the front of his men and maintained his position until he had been hit seven Hines
