Londonderry, ireland, August r.
Two months travel in Ireland, meet
ing mostly land owners, peasants and
agricultural laborers brings forth the
conclusion that they are the most
prosperous class OF any in the United
Kingdom and being free from con-
scription they have remained at home
for the most part. Receiving war
prices for their products, despite the
high cost of living very many farm
ers have earned and saved more in
one year than in any previous two
or three years. The last hold which
the Redmond party has on many
ascribed to the accepted faith in the
claim of the Irish Parliamentary par
ty that the Irishman is exempt from
CONSUMPTION The Englishman, the
Scotchman, the Welshman is forced
to face death in the trenches, but Ire
land is excepted from the enforced
military service OF the Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland.
The late Sir Charles Wyndham
proved to be the one really valuable
English benefactor OF Ireland when,
as a leader of the Tory party, he Sc
cured the passage of the land act
which bears his name. Prior to the
Land Purchase Act of 1903 the farm
laborer averaged $2.72 wages per
week and howell to sleep in; now
he is earning $500 per week and has
u modest neat cottage of his own.
He is making a decent living and he
cannot be made to see why he should
leave the land to avenge Belgium in
Flanders, Serbia, Turkey or Africa.
He just wants work and to be left
alone. They are sullen, quiet and
bitter in their enmity towards Eng.
land, despite access to the land, be-
cause they believe they had been de.
prived for centuries Of the right to
the land of their own country. The
placing of the tenant on the small
farm, the tenant who paid say $50 a
year rent and has since secured an
interest in or ownership Of his land
by paying $50 per year has made a
class of farmers clinging to the land
who cannot be drawn into the war.

There exists in England and Scot
land feeling OF jealousy and engen-
dered hate because the Irish peasant
is free from army service and he is
denounced severely as the chief slack

peasant laborers dare leave Ireland
for employment in England. They
have been mobbed in several iInglisl
cities. No matter what may be sale
to the contrary, the average English

Many astounding things have beer

The plan Of the Irish rebels, and
the modified plan that the London

The Irish Farmers After
Two Years of War
lBy J. H. Donnelly.)

governing race, must die in the
trenches while the Irish farmer is eX-
empt and is getting high prices for
his products and growing prosperous
as the result of the sacrifices and
sufferings of the English race. That
the Irish farmer, as rule, is indif-
ferent to the outcome of the war can
not be doubted after listening to their
comment. They look on at recruit
ing meetings and say little but gather
in knots whispering among them
selves. They seldom show up at po-
litical meetings.
1t is certain there are few counties
in Ireland, and have visited twenty
one, but would rise in rebellion if the
boys and men of military age were
torn from the farms they have re-
Gently acquired or the laborer taken
from his tiled cottage. England after
long and costly experience does not
bank heavily on securing recruits
from this class. Good judges figure
that from this agricultural element
the war department has secured
scarcely one out of every fourteen
available men and the material is
there for fine and hardy troops. The
operations of the Land Purchase Act,
so far as new funds are provided, has
been practically suspended during the
war. But there are nearly 100000
tenants who either own the land or
have made payments on their estates.
The Irish farmer lost hope of Home
Rule early in the war and the result
of the recent fiascO in Parliament, he
knows, completes the burial of the
act. but he was prepared for failure
and is relieved at the failure of the
partition plan. He desires peace and
security but the woes of centuries
of the great empire which neglected
him too long. The farmers often
speak of the Zeppelins attacking
England and seem to take it for
granted that Ireland is immune from
airship warfare. They speak rever
emily OF the death of Sir Roger Case
ment, although they know little OF
his work save that he died bravely
and for Ireland.
With ready money in his hands
the farmer is able to buy improve
ments and Ford cars are common
The war has enabled him to produce
green crops which are quickly con
sumed and at good prices. The pc
tato crop looks we'll. The exports OF
Irish bacon are heavy and the price
is satisfactory. Irish hams and laml
are bringing ,unheard of prices.

Especial to the TIerald.l

Washington, Feb. 1O.-UndergrOund water resources of great value exist in Connecticut, according to the Unit ed States. Geological survey which should be good news to those persons in the state who realize that the rapid industrial development of Connecticut Tn recent years has created many problems relating to the use of water TOT manufacturing, agriculture and pupIc and domestic supplies.
 To obtain data for the solution of these problems the federal geological survey has been cooperating for sev- eraf years in making detailed inves- tgatlon of the grOund-wa ter resources ot Connecticut. As a result of this work a series of reports is being pre- pared upon the areas investigated, all of which are to be published in the Bureaus list of bulletins known as water supply papers.
 Waterbury Area.
 The latest number in this series is a report on the ground water re- sources of the Waterbury area, by Arthur J. Ellis, working under the direction of Herbert F. Gregory, which is just being issued by the geOlogical survey. It contains full descriptions of the water resources of the towns of AnsOnia Seymour, Oxford. Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, Middlebury, Water bury, WatertOwn and ThOnlaston and a detailed map of the area.
 Preliminary Statement
 A preliminary statement issued by the survey concerning it's latest Con- necticut publication is in part as fol- lows:
 The excellent water-power sites along the Naugatuck invited settlers into the Waterbury area early in the history of the state, and the growth of industrial enterprises although somewhat slow at first. has been very rapid during the last few decades The manufacture of brass articles and general foundry work rank first among the industries, and water DOW
