CONSCRTPTION
 IN IRELAND
English Papers Present Plans for Recruiting Briton's
 Army Ranks

London, Sept. 2S.-Tbe application of couscrlptiou to Ireland Is suggested by the Daily Mall in an article calling attention to the urgent necessity for obtaining more men for the army-a problem which, itsays, has engaged the full attention of the government. The newspaper suggests two other methods for increasing the army, namely, the raising oi the age limit from fl to 10 years, and the combing out of the young men from exempted occupations, of whom, it estimates, there are l,2j0,- OOO physically At who have not yet been drafted into the army.
 The Times' military correspondent, discussing tho same problem, says:
 "Thero can be only one rule for the allies, namely, to place in the field every able bodied man that we can raise. The time has arrived for drastic reform in the administration of the military service acts and if this action is hot taken quickly aud thoroughly, Germany will beat uv in organizing it's man power.
 "Compulsion for Ireland is necessary fl the lrlsh divisions are to be main talued. As Co Great Britain raising the age limit, 1t Is not pressingly need ed until three or four million meD, en. sconsed in civilian occupations and sheltered from service have been combed out"

WHAT We NEED TO

Three Dreadnaughts and
-Four Battle Cruisers
Would Be Enough.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-Three
dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers
added to the American fleet, built
and authorized, would make it the
equal in fighting strength of the pres
ent German fleet, Admiral Fletcher,
commander of the Atlantic fleet, de-
cIared today before the house naval
committee. While Germany has seven
battle cruisers and the United States
none, the admiral said the 35 knot
craft proposed by the navy depart
mcnt would be so much superior 10
anything now ailoat that four Of
them possibly three, would more
than offset the seven German boats.
With the present fleet of AZ battle
ships of all types, three additional
dreadnaughts and seven battle
cruisers Admiral Fletcher thought
we could reasonably expect to make
a good defense, although not an abso-
iute one "of both coasts against any
combination of two enemy powers
that did not include Great Britain"

The vice president staunchly up

woke war or may cease to write them,
but the president of the United States

honor, but to preserve our peace
without any loss of our self-respect.

fact that there are in the republic
many men who, having disregarded
tnc warning Oh the president, would
gladly see our country plunged into
war in order to assist the allies: and
opposed. is another class which feels
that the president when insisting
upon what has hitherto been the
rights of neutrals in warfare, Is not
insisting as an American but as an
ally. one class seeks to goad him on
by charges of cowardice; the other
seeks to deter him to declaring that
he is not sincere in his expressed de-
sire of maintaining neutrality and
preserving the peace of the country.
Seeks Only Fairness.
"If there be any body OF men in
America who ought to resent the
views of both these classes it is the
lawyers of the land. For fairness and

GERMANY DID NOT
LIE TO AMERICA
Overseas News Agency De-
nies Story of English
Origin.

BERLIN. March 6.-(By wireless
agency" say the Overseas News
agency. publishes u report in which
it is stated that the German govern
ment in the negotiations in connec-
ton with the sinking of the steam
ship Arabic told the United States
government "A deliberate lie on trans
hitting the so-Called report OF Com
mander Schneider regarding the sink
ing of the vessel.
The English agency declares that
the submarine which sunk the Arabic
was herself sunk by a British patrol
boat and that the crew was either
killed or taken prisoner SO that 1t
was materially impossible for the
Germans to produce an authentic re-
port from the submarine comman-
der" The Overseas News agency
continues:
THE reason the English news
agency disseminated this news at tho
present time and some five months
after the Arabic incident is apparent.
But the news organization in its re-
port forgets that everyone must ask
himself why the German government
should have used this trick when II
would have been much easier for the
Germans to admit the loss of the sub
marine and to state that it was i'm
possible for them to relate what had
happened
This would have saved the trou-
bic of long negotiations regarding the
Arabic case, which can only be set
tied after repeated exchanges of
views. OF course it is unnecessary to
add that the German government
made no incorrect statements what
ever to the United States"

system of selection for high com

provided a sure way of putting the
