IRELAND'S RECRUITMENT FOR THE
WAR IS TERMED MAGNIFICENT"
BY THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES

Dublin. Nov. 11.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Recruiting in Ire
land has been placed upon new basis.
Hitherto the work has been entrusted to
voluntary committees formed in each
county with central recruiting council
for Ireland. The lord lieutenant of d
county. usually q peer, has been a the
Etad OF the work in his county. Meet
.nSs nave been held in every part of Ire
land and much zeal has been displayed
by the speakers at them, who have in
clCded representatives of all parties and
creeds. The result has been. as ANNOUNCE
ed by Major General Lovick Friend, the
commander of the forces in Ireland the
enlistment Of 6l.o0o men for the infantry.
As the percentage of reflections for
unitness has been as high as 800 per
cent, the total number from Ireland who
offered themselves for service in the ar
my was about 10000. Ireland at the out
break OF the war had more than her pro-
portion of men in the army and in the
reserves and this total has been describ-
Cd by The highest military authority in
a public letter as magnificent" There
mist lie added to it. also, Ireland's re-
cruitnlcnt for the navy, to which a sub
st&r;i"l number of men have gone.
Another Appeal
A fresh appeal has been made for more
r.en. 1t VIII be necessary to fill up the
vact;ye in the Irish divisions at the
front To keep them up to strength
recruitment of about 1l00 men a week
is officially stated to be necessary and
unless the Irish divisions are to be filled
up from Scottish and English drafts that
number will have to be found in Ireland.
80 difficulty. however. is expected to
arise in the matter. The rate of re-
,r,!i.nent asked for now is less than
that reached in the months of April and
May last and experience has taught the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-11-12

necessity for improved methods which
are counted upon to make the task
easier. The existing organizations have
been thanked for their services, which
in that particular form are now at an
end and new department for Irish re-
cruiting has been established under the
supreme leadership of Lord Wimborne
lord lieutenant. lie has appointed as
chief director Capt. r. c. Kelly. an Irish
soldier of distinction. and what is more
to the purpose. an extremely keen h, ST.
ness man, full of energy and tact lie
has put the munitions business in Ire
land we'll on it's feet and gained the AZ,
prevail and the friendship of every SEE
ton.
Stimuli to Recruiting
1t is likely that the new methods OF
recruiting in Ireland will have to he
based, like the old ones. on general Az
peals. The most effective appeals adj
dressed to Irishmen have been basel
upon the invasion of Belgium. The :ur-
pedoing of the Lusitania was a powerful
stimulus to recruiting. which was still
further added to by the sinking of the
Arabic. Ireland was chilled, too, by ac-
ton on the part of military authorities
such as that which refused to allow the
Irish division to have its own colors.
Even yet though the colonies and the
Ulster division have distinctive colors,
the other Irish divisions have not.
There is also a feeling that the ex-
ploits of Irish regiments at the front
have not had all the publicity they de-
served Except for individual exploits
such as that which gave Sergeant
O'Leary the Victoria Cross, they are felt
to have a poor show in the dispatches
or descriptions of the official eyewitness.
Still the response of Ireland, nothwith-
standing all difficulties, is regarded as
excellent

Other Comment


The WESTMINSTER GAZETTE
says:
"Once more, as in the cases Of the
Arabic, the Orduna and the Hesperian,
we have a practical test Of those prom
Uses Of amendment and the qualifica-
TOMS thereto which Count Won Berns-
torff made to President Wilson. Once
more we see it matters not a straw to
Germany whether American citizens
are on board ships marked down as
victims or what pledges had been Civ
en- by her representatives in Washing
ton"
The PAIL MALL GAZETTE has
this comment:
Whether England is strictly entitl-
ed to inflict few weeks delay on
suspected cargoes becomes pitiably
trivial alongside the wholesale barba-
rity by which our enemies have again
proclaimed their code and illustrated
their zeal for the freedom of the seas.
The sinking of the Ancona and the
spilling Of her lifeboats recalls the ac-
ton of neutrals to the fundamental
realities OF what the world is fighting

SAYS FINANCIAL
R E @ UIREMENTS
WILL BE COVERED

London. Nov u.-Earl St. Aldwyn. for
iner chancellor of the exchequer during
the debate on the necessity for greater
economy which was resumed this eve
ming in the House of Lords, declared
that whatever the financial requirements
were they would be met. He believed
the country would find the money and
that there was no reason for faint heart
edness in these matters, giving the foes
of the nation cause to rejoice. but the
government was bound to exercise far
more than it had yet exercises the means
of economizing at its disposal.
Earl ST. Aldwyn protested against de-
lay in raising new taxation for the war
Large as the increases which had been
made, he said, they were not large
enough. especially in regard to indirect
taxation.

VARIOUS POINTS OF VIEW TAKEN
BY BRITISH PRESS OF DEMAND
MADE UPON U. S. BY THE ANC0NA

London. Nov. 11.-President Wilson S
phrase regarding the rights OF hui
manitv" as something for which the
United States was contending figures
prominently in the comment OF the
evening newspapers on the Ancona in
cident.
THE fact that Americas policy will
depend upon the point whether Amer
lean lives have been lost is singular
comment upon the claim of President
Wilson that America is contending for
nothing less high and sacred than the
rights of humanity" says the Evening
Standard, which continues:
Rights Of Force
I'VE would frankly ask the Ameri-
can people whether this last addition
to the record of murder on the high
seas does not convince them that there
is only one means by which the pirates
can be brought to book-namely in
creasing vigilance by the allied fleets.
The British and allied navies must
avenge the sacred rights Of humanity
and in that task surely we have a
right to expect the sympathy of the
American government as we'll as the
friendship OF the American people,
Our cruisers which stop German i'm
ports and exports are avenging prac-
tically just as much torpedo boats
which sink pirate submarines. Sea
power is one and individual and by
demanding that we relax our sea grip
on the enemy the American govern
ment is demanding that pirates be not
punished. We trust that the American
people will realize that the interests of
