erly developed and organized with
abattoirs and chilling rooms estab-
lished at suitable places should in a
few years be in position to easily
supply direct very great proportion
of the beef required for the London
market.
A few years ago a scheme to de-
velop the export of dressed meat was
started in Ireland, but was dropped
owing to lack of support and some
local opposition. At present, were
such scheme in working order, 1t
would prove very profitable, for the
imports of foreign meat have fallen
off enormously. 1t must, Of course,
be borne in mind that present prices
will not last after the war; but still
there should continue to be big
market in Great Britain for Irish
dressed meat. Further, there is al
ways the possibility that the present
embargo on Canadian and Argentine
stores may be removed. If that should
happen, the Irish cattle trade would
be, completely revolutionized, and Ire
lands only chance of retaining a hold
on the Irish market would be to fat
ten and kill the cattle in Ireland and
export the dressed meat.

Alderman Byrne, M. p, said he had
several times brought this matter be,

satisfaction he got was the usual
acknowledgment Of the receipt Of his
letters. 1t was a great injustice to
the people of Dublin. he said, that the

RECRUITING CAMPAIGN TO BE
RENEWED IN IRELAND.
Mr.. Redmond Fears CONSUMPTION il
Recruits Are Not Furnished for
Decimated Irish Divisions.
BY David o'Mara.

Irish Press and News Service.)
Dublin, October 12-Since April
last only 2,7OO army recruits have been
secured in all Ireland outside of Bel
fast and vicinity. The Connaught
Rangers are nearly devoid of Con-
and in the entire province
of Connaught less than 800 recruits
have been secured in six months. A
hard drive is now being made for re-
cruits to make up in part the wastage
of the Irish regiments destroyed.
Friends of Mr.. Redmond who have
recently visited him in Dublin found
him very detected over this phase of
the wretched Irish situation. They
were advised to urge the young men
of their localities to volunteer for
army service to make good his pledge
to the government. Otherwise, said
Mr.. Redmond, the war department will
insist on extending the enforced mill.
tary service laws to Ireland. Ireland
must choose, he said, between increas-
ing the quota she is short in the army
or, he feared, the Irish parliamentary
party would be overwhelmed by the
supporters Of the coalition government
whose sons and brothers daily are dy.
ing for the empire. Mr.. Redmond
breads the effect on Home Rule and
the efforts of the party is making to
abolish martial law and secure the
communication of the prison sentences
OF the rebel prisoners, unless his young
fellow countrymen volunteer to fill
the ranks Of the depleted Irish regi-
ments. lnsincerity is the charge con-
stantly leveled at him by his oppo.
nents, he says, and only by securing
more volunteers from every National.
list county in Ireland will his leader.
ship be respected by the British gov
eminent.
Sir Edward Carson has agreed tenn
porarily only to refrain from pressing
his CONSUMPTION campaign for Ireland
in the House of Commons where he
says at least 14O members of parlia.
ment are already supporting him on
that issue. His resumption of the
fight depends on the number of re.
cruits brought in from Ireland from
now to January's end.
Sir Edward Carson said, 1.-THE Irish
divisions are being blotted out. There
are from 100000 to 100000 men left in
Ireland physically able and young
enough to join their comrades in a
war that means the saving of the
British Empire. The men we must
have and speak for the country when
say the people Of all parties demand
1t. Ireland must not stand alone in
Sinking her duty to the Union and
she will not be allowed to whittle
down our opportunity or time to win
the war" Irish councils refuse to
recommend recruiting and denounce
conscription, threatening bloodshed
and rebellion. An empasse is certain
on this fateful question at an early
day.

NO CHANCE FOR HOME RULE
DURING THE WAR.
British War Losses Cause of Hatred
Directed at Irish Strikers.
BY J. II. DonnelIy.


Irish Press and News Service.)
Coleraine, Derry, October 8.-The
small Orange towns made up of Scotch
and English stock have suffered heavi-
ly in the growing casualty list. The
Ulster division has been hit hard in
the past six weeks.
THE touch of a vanished hand,
The sound of voice that is STILL"
There is scarcely house of the
ascendancy class in the north of Ire
land where death by war has not in
vaded. There are old families of the
reigning, propertied class made ex-
tinct by the death of the males on
the battleflelds. Sir Edward Carson
points out that deaths are rarely an
nounced in the leading Nationalist
families whereas at least twenty-five
per cent of the Unionists' families
have suffered through death. The
hideous cry of you live here while
we are sent off to die" from the bereft
families of Unionist soldiers is heard
in many of these towns in the north
east and the echoes have crossed the
channel and won renewed hatred for
the Irish shirkers" in all parts Of
England and Scotland. believe this
feeling will grow and Is the chief rea-
son why Lloyd George and Asquith
have cut Redmond and Home Rule
adrift. After the war much of that
feeling will remain. There are signs
that Sir Edward Carson and his fol-
lowers will support tentative Home
Rule policy if CONSUMPTION is extended
to Ireland, thereby insuring 100000
badly needed soldiers. But the rank
and file will never stand for conscrip-
ton even though Home Rule was the
price paid. The radicals want sep
aration and care little for modified
doses of an Irish parliament provided
with little real power.

parliamentary party only nominally

harried, suspicious, class against class

fered frightfully in the casualty lists

In connection with the bequest to

they were endangering the lives of men
and apologized for their act They also
expressed thanks to Maj. Walker for

GREAT BRITAIN FACES
RAIL STRIKE THREAT
Trainmen Of South Wales Demand
Pay Increase and Food Price
Regulation.

LONDON. September 1.-THE situation
in the railway world arising out Of the
demands of the men for an increase In
wages Of 10 shillings week has become
increasingly serious. At meeting OF
5000 railway workers at Cardin yester-
day a resolution was adopted providing
is conceded by September 16 all railway
work will be stopped in south Wales at
midnight the 18th.
Control Of Food Demanded.
The resolution also stated that the ad-
vance in wages should date from July
and that the government should give q
definite guarantee that in the future 1,
will control the supply Of food and regu-
late prices The resolution was carried
without dissenting vote.
Judging from the governments attitude
hitherto regarding the question Of the
control Of food, its distribution and prices
to such demand. and should the rail
way workers in the other parts Of the
country indorse the action Of the south
Wales men there is danger OF general
railway strike.
Leaders Seek Agreement.
The leaders Of the men are working
hard to obtain an agreement without call
ing strike which would be regarded as
taking an unfair advantage of the nation
in a time of adversely. The argument OF
the men is that 1t is the business Of the
government to see that railway workers
are as properly fed and clothed as the
soldiers in the field since the railway
workers are doing equally important work
for victory, and that under the existing
conditions and the high prices Of CON-
modities this is impossible.

There may be some who say that for

taken away about as fast as they are
brought here.
