THE FIGHTING IRISH
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Within the first 10 months of the war 12O,741 young Irishmen have volunteered for service with the British armies. This number is in addition to the Irishmen en- rolled in the regular army which went into active service at the beginning of the war. Estimates based on census re- ports indicate that at least one out of every eight men of military age and fit ness in Ireland has voluntarily gone to the fronts
 There are, of course. no better fighters than the Irish. and no race more willing to fight in cause which they consider just. This, however. will not account for the large enrolment. Until very recently the Irish have been the victims of British misgovernment and oppression. Only with in the last few years has it become ap- parent that the greater nation Is ready to deal fairly with the lesser. A clear ap- preciation of this new spirit of generos- ity. and a conviction that Ireland's future progress is dependent on British success, have inspired the Irish to give their best in the cause of the empire.
 O'Leary is today the most popular war hero of Britain; "Tipperary" is the Briton's favorite marching song. The "en- tentc cordiale" of the additionally hos tile islands Is one of the really noteworthy aspects of the war.

THE MASTER EYE IN SPORT

man to aim at some object and note care.
 fully how he goes about his work. and from his movements that which is rho
 master eye can easily be detected; that
 is' whether the muscles are acting in a right or left vertical plane. In aiming with the gun sman usually places the
 master eye on the same vertical plane as the sights and then points 1t at the
 object the master eye plane has made, 1t
 being the same as the sights on the centea of the barrel. Then as the barrel, the eye and the object are one and the same plane, the correct elevation Is the only requisite needed to cause the bullet to hit the mark
 In the practical application of the physl. ological facts of the master eye there is another factor to be considered, and that Is motion-that is, as it is applied to the
 sports and pastimes in which the objects
 are moving. These may be divided into
 two classes, one where the object moves,
 such as baseball. tennis and clay pigeoa shooting the other class being billia rds, golf and target shooting, where the object is stationary. To be able to hit moving object one must be able to form an ac. curate estimate of the speed at which 1t is travelling. Therefore. when the eye focuses the moving object the locating
 muscles of the eyebalr must travel in the
 same direction and keep speed with the ! moving object so that the eye gives the clew to the brain at what rate the object is moving. It is much the same as one trying to keep fast moving object on tho finder of a camera.

From the Providence Journal
 And now. we are told that the taking over of the Sayville plant satisfies Ger many, and that the German ambassador does not contemplate lodging any com plaint with the state department"
 In fact. '1t is stated on authority that he had for long time considered re- questing the American government to take charge of Sayville."
 We are quite sure that Count Won Bernstorff has been lying awake for mhny nights trying to find out how he could compel the United States to take control of the Sayville wireless station. It is quite reasonable to believe that this good, honest gentleman would have forced us into war if we had any longer plotters at that plant.
 In the meantime. that patriotic Amer ican. Herman Metz, the dummy president of the Atlantic Communication company and head of the German dytstuff orr ganization In the United States, has pub- licly declared that Secretary Redfeld closed up the Sayville station because he is anti-German. and has gone so far as to openly hint that Mir Redfield had been swayed in his motives by an alleged for mer connection with large munitions factory plant. It is time that either the officially representative of his imperial master or some official of the United States government picked up Mr. Metz by the ear and had a heart to heart talk with him.

VIII Make Effort to secede

notwithstanding reports to the con trary the citizens of Ensley are in earn est in their desire to secede from Great CT Birmingham" said F. G. Moore. Tt will be recalled that the legislative com mittee to whom't the Greater Birmingham bill was referred. reported the bill ex- cluding Ensley by vote of 1T to 1, and that the governor refused the bill unless Ensley was included By large major ity vote the people of the Steel City decided against being absorbed by the greater city and it Is believed that still larger vote to withdraw from Birming- ham could be boiled at this time.
 We realize that we have but a short time to present our bill before the legis- lature, but according to indications, a recess will be taken and in that event we will have time to get our forces in shape. We propose to present a state ment of facts concerning the status of Ensey at the present time and before her identity was destroyed. We believe we will convince any fair-rinded man or set of men of the merits of our conten- tion "

various writers connected with the department are clean water on the farm, retail public markets, co-opera- tive marketing and financing of mar keting associations, the economy of farm drainage, the preparation of fer tilizer from municipal waste, eggs and poultry, household equipment, nema- todes and their relationships, and finally the American woman "as she sees herself.
 Such articles as have a distinctly scientific side are prepared by tech nically educated men, but they are ex- pressed in simple, every day English so that the farmer, no matter how small his "book learning" can under stand and profit when he reads what the specialist has to say.

A Sparrow Falleth

Every once in a while some trival incident happens which brings forci- bly to the attention of the thinking person the helplessness of man-with all his boasted power-before even the smallest natural force.
 Of course much has been done in the way of utilizing natural forces and working in harmony with natures laws. Man is disposed to boast of his accomplishments in the field of cleo tricity-and very rightfully so. And yet sparrow, just an ordinary little brown-winged English sparrow, the other day stopped the entire street car service of San Antonio for nearly an hour, and for that length of time halted all electricly- y-driven machinery in the city.
 The loss of time caused by the little sparrow would, if it could be com puted, aggregate staggering total not to mention the money loss.
 When the electric power was shut off in San Antonio that morning, due to short circuit somewhere along the line, trouble" men were sent out in all directions to seek the cause. Finally it was located.
 A little sparrow had settled on guy wire, then fluttered over on a feed wire carrying a voltage of 6600. A short circuit was instantly formed. The bird, of course, perished. Thus can so insignificant a thing as little winged creature pausing in its flight from field to nest, confound the work of scientist and skilled la borer.
 What is man that he should ex- alt himself?"
