IRISH VILLAGE |S ORGANIZED LIN
 THE FRONT

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 15. - There is a town at the British front which is the cen ter of an Irish world. It is the head quarters town of the 18th, or lrish division. Irish voices are heard from the doorways of the houses. Flower nots of shamrock are on the mess tables of officers, who gather { for their meals in the modest sitting room of the local grocer or butcher, where they are "billeted."
 In his office a general. who is Irish to the finger tips, talks about his troops, who were fighting hard against the Germans during the Dublin riots. If he is asked if there are any Sim Feiners among them he will refer the inquirer to the men themselves. They enlisted in the Irish new army bat talions in face of the influence which produces Sim Feinism. This gave them distinction of character to start with, their officers say.
 Sturdy middle aged men with strips of color won in campaigns in India and South Africa while serving with regular Irish regiments, some still sergeants, some promoted to commissions, have been the drill mas ters of vigorous youth from Mayo and Kilkenny or Clare or Cork. But most of the officers in common with most of the men had never been in uniform when the war began.
 A major who is over six feet and broad in proportion, standing still as a ramrod in salute, who looks as if he had been soldering all his life, was a farmer in Waterford. He recruited company from the surrounding countryside and was given command. Promotion followed, as it has for other beginners. Those captains who are members of parliament will get theirs now unless they are among the casualties which make room for others to rise. They say that they thought they could do better work for Home Rule at the front than in the commons
 We wanted to draft the Irishmer who were in English and Scotch bat talions into ours so We should have all the Irish at the front under one commando said the general, but wt
The Cordova daily times., 1916-06-01

could not make the arrangement. The other commanders would not part with their Irishmen. British battalions like to have sprinkling of Irish among their numbers. My men have had every test of trench fighting, gas and shells and sniping-- and they've disproved any idea that the Irish were not as good at sticking as in a charge, They've stuck like veterans. Native Irish good humor relieves the grim monotony of the trenches.
 "As for discipine-there's the re cord of courtmartial' - the general indicated some blank spaces opposite the names of battalions on the wall everybody prophesied that we would have heavy drinking on St. Patrick s day, because a lot of people have the idea that the Irish have a weakness for drink. I appealed to the men to be on their good behavior, with the result that we did not have a single case of intoxication."
 Up in the trenches held by the Irish stories abound. When a big high ex- 1 plosive German shell tore a hole in the parapet a soldier who was set to shoveling away the earth that had filled the trench had only fairly got started when another shell struck just behind him, tearing another section oi trench and half burying him. Having crawled out and looked around, he saluted his captain and said:
 Sir, I have to report that at the present rate I cant finish this job without help. They're gaining on me.

BRITISH POLICE OFFICERS
 COME FOR SPY LINCOLN

NEW YORK. May 26 - Chief in- spector Alfred Ward and an assistant from Scotland Yard arrived from Liy- erpool today to take back to England the confessed spy and former member of the British parliament, Ignatius T. Lincoln. Lincoln is ganted in Eng land to answer to a charge of forgery. His extradition was ordered by the supreme court of the United States, as Lincoln appealed to that court on writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the real purpose of his extradition was to try him as a spy in England.
 Lincoln was first arrested here in August last year, but escaped from jail in the following November, and was at liberty until February last, when he was rearrested.
