ment, Deserts.

That an early return OF the Second
Regiment of Virginia Infantry from
the Mexican border is proposed by the
War Department was the rumor that
made its way through military cir
Giles yesterday. No confirmation OF
the report could be secured e1ther at
Camp Stuart, or At the oflico OF the
IAdJutant-General OF Virginia
There are indications. however.
that the guess 10 not far wrong. and
AZ was sAid that 1t would not b
turn and demobiliEation Of the Second
Infantry. Orders were received a
Camp Stuart yesterday calling in all
OF the recruiting ofhcers who are To-
Gated At various points In tho State
to secure enlistments tor the Second
Infantry. The fact that the War De-
partment does not want any further
recruits for the Second Infantry Il
taken to mean that these troops will
be returned to their homes shortly.
Recruiting Details Mustered Out.
Tho following recruiting officers
with their details have been ordered
to report to Camp Stuart to be
mustered out of the United States
andria: Major A. G. Epps. Newport
News: Captain B. f. Williams, Dan
vile; and Captain George w. Burns,
at Staunton.
No orders have been received at
the camp to provide Accommodate
for the returning regiment, and since
such accommodations necessary would
be expensive, 1t Is believed that the
troops will be returned to their home
stations for muster out, and that there
will be no concentration of the troops
here.
1t IL also believed that 1t Is only q
matter OF days before the Blues
Cavalry and the other commands at
Camp Stuart will be ordered South.
The War Department has already
signihed it's intention OF giving the
men border training. and there IL lit
tie idea that any Of the troops now
at Camp Stuart will be thsre longer
than ten days.

IRISH CONSUMPTION
IS AGAIN An ISSUE
Great Brftain's shortage OF Men Real
Cause Of Renewal of
Agitation.
MAY PREuPITATE
ANOTHER IRISH CRISIS
Politicians Agree 1t Is Dang erous Ex-
pesiient, but Conscripttonists Have
Strong influence in Government.

London. Oct 4-Oflcial reports
made public today show that Great
Britain is in urgent need Of men for
her armies and ammunition factories.
As result the proposition to en-
force CONSUMPTION In Ireland has been
put forth with renewed viror and has
the powerful support OF Sir Edward
Carson. The fight will be brought UP
In Parliament whom It reason blea
next week. England 10 confronted
once more with q crisis over the Irish
question.
Tho Nationalist assert that ireland
will be united nation in resistance
to compulsion.
The situation was brought to q
climax today by the report Of the
man power distribution board and q
statement by Sir william Robertson.
chief OF the Imperial stafr; both de-
claring immediate steps must be taken
to increase Great Britain's supply of
men.
Sir Edward Carson asserts that the
situation is such that without con-
scription In Ireland 1t will be impos-
sible even to maintain the Irish regi-
ments q the front in their proper
strength. He contends that Ireland
could provide another half million
men of military ,se. and asks what
the colonies. which have made such
sacrifices forNkhe empires will think
of the shirki1I Of Ireland.
The Nationnaists In reply to Sir Ed
ward Carson point out that the
colonies already have self-government
and hence there Is no analogy with
the position Of Ireland.
The LIBERAL newspapers consider
the agitation AZ another attempt to
unseat Premier Asquith and contend
that while compulsion in Ireland
would provide a few men 1t would
provoke another nrst class Irish
crisis and throw Ireland into the
hands of the Sim Feiners.
Most Of the responsible politicians
are agreed that it would be dangerous
to attempt to apply compulsion ia
ireland. while Home Rule il with
held from 1t. However. In the pres
emit phase of the European war. those
who are demanding consumption hold
strong hand and the government
may md 1t difncult to resist their de-
mand. The agitators for Irish COM

 Fifth avenue is synonymous with great wealth, no matter how acquired. it's sweetest music is the clink of gold, CT the crinlzle of bank notes, and it acts according to, and is actuated by the customs and crochets of exchequer ex- cess It is the fabled abiding and arid ing place of the classes, and though it may have known Gaunt Poverty inti- mately in other days, when he dares to show himself upon the avenue today he can't even attract the direct gaze of any pair of eyes within range of his own vision.
 But Broadway-how different. No, it can hardly be called the other extreme the Lower East Side is perhaps that. Broadway actually crosses Fifth ave- nue, but it never quite touches the Low CT East Side, though at one point it is within easy walking distance.
