cent instructed to give copies Of the

that the same be published:
Resolved. That we, the directors Of

This association endorses the plan

funds derived from the proposed
bend issue, II used in conformity to
the plan outlined, would In the great

This organization being a farmers

farmers to register. and to sec that the

 PRINCIPAL SPEAKER

Judge J. J. Rooney of the court of appeals of New Y ork, will be the prin- cipaI speaker Sunday evening at the big mass meeting at the Plaza theatre held for the United Irish Relief Fund committee representing the Irish so- cieties of the city. and the proceeds of which will be devoted to assisting the distressed widows and orphans in Ireland due to the severity with which the recent uprising in that country was treated Judge Rooney is polished speaker, and will have many things to tell of the aftermath of that uprising which have not been published owing to- strict British cen- sorship over news and malls.

real sentiments.
 Johnny Evers has had many clashes with Lord Byron. One day a year or two ago the Trojan was called out on a close decision while sliding for a base. Johnny didn't think he was out, and he said so at considerable length and with more or less heat. While Evers was setting forth his argu- ments, Lord Byron warbled, to one of his favorite tunes, "Just a difference of opinion, difference of opinion, diff farence of opinion, is all say to you" But Johnny was not to be SOothed by song. He thought of several other things to say, and said 'em with his usual vehemence. Byron kept on singing, but he changed the tune and the words to You're out because you're out because you're~out because you're you," he chanted. Right there was where Johnny should have quit, because Lord Byron considers that two songs is all that any athlete is Then Byron pulled what is considered warbling it to the tune of "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree.'' He sang: 'I think you will march to the bench, or I'll put you out of the game; i; if you don't go away I'll fine you your
 pay, while mine will go on just the same.'
 Silk OLoughlin, Tim Hurst and other picturesque urnpires have added to the charm of the American pastime, but for a quaint and original boss of the diamond you have to hand the laure1s to His Grace William, Lord Byron.

Monster Airship Larger Than 'fZeps, ''
 Observed by Swiss

Berne, Switzerland, June l22.-Peo- pie living along the Swiss border of the lake of Constance have been great 1y surprised over the movements of the new monster airship, much larger than all other Zeppe1ins, that has been making trial trips over the lake The length of this ship is said to be 24O yards, or almost double that of other Zeppelins- The cubic contents is ev- eny more than double, 54, 900 cubic meters instead of 10000, and the mum Der of gondolas is four instead of two. These gondolas are said to be armed with guns, machine guns, and a new kind of air torpedo s
 Despite its huge bulk the ship gives the impression of fsh-Hke s1enderness. The steering gear forms an exact cross. The motors are 3,OoO-4,oOO horse pow CT, able to give the airship a speed of 90 ki1ometers an hour. To avoid breakdowns, the motors are in dou- ble number The crew is said to be 30 to 40 men, The ship can reach a height of three to four miles.

THE LORD BYRON
 OF BASEBALL

It is probably too much to a1lege that any umpire anywhere is popular with the players and public, but there are degrees in their unpopularity, and it is probably accurate to state that William Byron, known in our set as Lord Byron, is the least unpopular of baseball arbiters.
 His 1udship is such a quaint, humor- ous, Byronesque little diamond tyrant that no athlete or fan can long nourish a grouch at him. Like that other Lord Byron who achieved fame by writing poems and things, Umpire Byron is something of a dandy. Whats more, he is a songster and bard, and oft lifts up his voice in joyous warb1es of his own composition. For the most part, however, Lord Byron's vocal eff forts are at least based on old tunes and songs. 'tAuld Lang Syne' and 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree'' are among the favOriteS in his repertoire. When player approaches him seeth- ing with rage and stutering in his eff forts to tell the umpire what he thinks of him, Byron often replies by warb- ling a snatch of some o1d-time favor 1te. It may not be music, but it not infreQuent1y serves to soothe the say age beast.
 There is a dead1ine beyond which Byron will permit no player to go, and if they step beyond it he will de- fend his authority by fighting, if necessary. That line, however, is some distance beyond that established by most of the big league arbiters. Nearly all of Byron's umpiricaI as- sociates hold to the theory that the time to quel an uprising is before it starts. In the language of Abe Pot ash, they "kick it in the bud.'' Not so Byron. He may not be a member of the Free Speech League, exactly, but he seemingly entertains the notion that language is a safety valve, and that every man, even a baseball player, has a right to air his opinions up to a certain limit. This may be because his ludship is himself so fond of con- versation. Byron is full to the nozzle with assorted words, and if he couldn't emit them with great ire Quency he would die of spontaneous combustion. He is no stern and taciturn tyrant, but a voIuble and live 1y one, and there is ground for the suspicion that too much peace is dis tasteful to him. "A little roolxus now and then is relished by the best of men," Byron, with his talent for parody. might say if he expressed his

French Army Will Aid
 In Developing Farms

Paris, June 22.-The proposition of M Moline, Minister of Agriculture, to effect cultivation of abandoned land by the civilian population has been ex- tended to the army. Wherever there is uncu1tivated land in the proximity of garrisons or, camps of troops, the auxi1iaries and territoriaIs not con- tnually on other service are detailed for several hours work each day in market gardening. The products are either to be sold for the combined profit of the soldiers working the land and the owners or consumed by the troops Civilians will not be allowed to draw any profit whatever from this exploitation.
 Among the civilian groups will be organized similar to the worlingnen, s gardening societies that existed before the war, to work all lands abandoned by their proprietors in the neighbor- hood of towns. These will be co-op- erative and the produce as well as the expense divided equally among the participants.

M. 6. BU.LKELEY
 PRESENTS TROOP WITH 50 HORSES
Yale Battery Makes Good Show ing Despite Scattering
 of Members.

Hartford, June 22-Adjutant-Gen- era1 George M. Cole announced yes terday that some of the comanies of the First Connecticut infantry would be in the mobilization camp at Mantle by Friday or Saturday.
 Troop B, cavlary, and the Signal Corps will be sent into camp today. Morgan G. Bulkeley, one-time United States Senator, has provided between 40 and 50 horses for Troop B, and these will enable the troops to go to camp with a full enlistment of 100 mounted men.
 MT. Bulkeley's son is a lieutenant in the troop.
 Captain Ka1so Davis had announced to Adjuta ant-General Cole that the troop was ready to march to camp with 36 mounted men, and the adju- tant-genera1 issued a special order for the march. When it was learned that through the generosity of Senator Bulkeley other horses would be pro- cured General Cole decided to post pone the enforcement of the order until this morning. Houghton Bulk eley, another son of MT. Bulkeley, has been transferred from a Yale bat tery to Troop B.
 Major Robert M Danford, com mand1ng the Tenth militia field artil-
 
 on the mobilization of the Yale bat teries- Battery A mustered four offic- CTS and sixty-eight men; Battery B, three officers and thirty-four men; Battery c, three officers and fifty eight men, and Battery D, four offic- CTS and thirty-nine men, Major Dan ford explained that as most of the un- dergraduates of the batteries had left for their homes before the mobi1iza- ton order was received, he considered the record a most credita b1e one and expected to have no difficulty in re- cruiting the batteries up to their full strength.
 Reports at headquarters from Man tic indicated much would have to be done to make the camp site habitable. The grass is three feet high and is be- ing moved. Rains have complicated the drainage problem.
 Two hundred men have enlisted In the First Connecticut infantry and there is no doubt the regiment will be increased to war strength
