ENLISTMENT DENIED
 IRISH CONSTABULARY

Dublin. March 15-(Specal) )-There is considerable irritation in Ireland over the action of the government in refusing to the members of the royal Irish con- statulary facilities to enlist. There are lO,eOo of these policemen in Ireland. They are men of splendid phy sque and enough of them to form two battalions of the Irish Guards are keen on entering the army. Dublin castle, which controls them, offers no objections. It is the treas try which stands in the way The police men, if they enlisted, would be enchang- ing 20 shillings week for a shilling day The treasury which has met this difficulty in the case of other public servants, and the government which has urged on private employers the duty of setting their men free for the army by guaranteeing them all or a part of their wages, will not in the case of the Irish police follow their own example and pre-
 cept. There is thus deadlock John Redmond in presence of the lord lieuten
 ant and chief secretary at public meet ing has condemned this action of the treasury. Tt is serious hindrance to recruiting in Ireland, since it is difficult to persuade people in the country districts of the urgency of the need for men when they see the police kept back, though at the present they have very little to do.

SUBSTITUTE FOUND
 FOR COSTLY DRESSING

London, March 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. 1.-The discovery has Just been made that Sphagnum moss. Which grows wild in the British isles. and pine wood sawdust are excellent sub stitutes for the more expensive surgical dressings which are used in great quanti- ties at the front for the immediate re- lief of the wounded. The announcement or this fact has been greeted with great satisfaction since the cost of the material Tor the dressings hitherto has been an ever increasing item.
 Sphagnum moss is found in the English Lake district, in Wales, and in Ireland 1t is considered more absorbent than cotton wool and less likely to become sodden and uncomfortable For these reasons it is found admirable for dressing wounds before the patient starts on the Journey to the hospital. Pine wood saw dust IS said to be antseptic and when put up in gauge bags is particularly ef- ficacious for the first dressing of head wounds.
 The Liverpool War Dressing organiza- tion has undertaken the work of making up tEese new materials ready for use and in connection with the women's war sery- ice bureau, is sending large consignments to the places where they are most needed.

 ON CHINESE RIVERS

Hankow, China, March 15-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press s.)-Sugges- tions in Japanese newspapers that Japan should send warships to China for the protection of foreigners along the upper Yang-tse Kiang. have raised storm of protests in the Chinese press. China has 27 gunboats, cruisers. torpedo boats and destroyers on the Yang-tse and Chinese newspapers are insistent that this fleet is quite capable of protecting all foreign interests.

In addition to the 2 ships which the Chinese have in the Yang-tse valley, the American government has eight ships available for the protection of foreign
 interests. At Chungking the United States has the Monocacy, which stands ready to afford refuge for the large foreign
