TWO COUNTRY ROXS

A.--The movement OF a snake Is
one of the things wise men have
found hard to understand. The
snake really walks on his ribs.
These ribs are attached to the
backbone. and also 10 the scales or
large horny surfaces on the belly
OF the snake. As the muscles act
on the ribs. the edges OF the scales
catch on the ground, and the re-
suit is a gliding motion. The
movement of a snake IL very much
like the movement of boat, the
ribs corresponding to the oars.

recruit nowadays Is a. rare sight in
deed"
The principal topic of discussion
everywhere in Ireland is the threat
ened conscription Of her fighting men.
If conscription is enforced there will
be another uprising far more wide
spread and formidable than the last.
The whole race is q unit against it
and will resist it to the end. If the
Irish must die they prefer to meet
their deaths in Ireland. The situation
in this respect is an extremely dan
gerous one.
Another element of danger lies in
the threatened food shortage. Prices
now average 1000 over earlier war
prices. History is repeating itself in
this connection; Ireland is being
steadily drained of her food supply to
feed the English populace. CONsID-
ERABLY MORE THAN 500 OF THE
ENGLISH LIVE STOCK IMPORTS
ARE FROM IRELAND; this condition
has prevailed for some time and will
inevitably bring about famine condi-
tions, under cover of which conscrip.
tion will be attempted. The realiza-
tion of their impending danger has
stirred the people as they have never
been aroused in living memory and
present conditions cannot long endure
without another upheaval."

Recruiting in Ireland is a complete
failure" said William D. Mahon, pres
ident of the International Amalgamat.
ed Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees, who has just re-
turned from visit there.
Even in districts where enlistments
were numerous year ago no recruits
have been obtained since the revolu-
tion last April. The spirit of the peo-
pie of Dublin, Cork and Kerry, where
had every opportunity to elicit their
opinion, is bitterly anti ti-English, and
they lose no opportunity of showing
their resentment towards the govern
ment and the politicians who have so
shamelessly deceived them. This feel
ing is not confined to any section of
the people.

protesting against its neglect of Irish
interests, it's utter subordination of
Irish to Imperial needs, its indecision

the crisis which confronted the Irish
people, and calling for a definite, con.
structive Irish policy as an alternative
to the present chaotic condition, which
is the direct result of the Party's inac-
tion.

War Has Doubled Living In ireland

The Cork Examiner has been con-
Quoting an inquiry in the towns and
country districts of Munster regard
ing the economic conditions created
by the war. Distress, more or less
acute, has been found among the
poorer classes and the workers in ur-
ban areas are the worst sufferers.
Provisions of all kinds have in many
cases more than doubled in price
since the war began. We give below
the result in brief of what the Elk.
aminer has discovered:
Waterford and District.
Although it cannot be said that
there is want of employment in
Waterford at present, the greatly in
creased cost of living presses very Sc
verely on the working classes. The
workers most adversely affected are
those in the building trade, but the
contract for the new munition factory
has helped somewhat to relieve the
depression in this particular branch,
and it is hoped that further INSTALL
ment of the loan for the housing
scheme will shortly be forthcoming,
thereby giving further flip to en-
ployment.
The average wage paid to agricul-
tural laborers around Waterford is 8s.
per week with board, and 15s. per
week without board. In the city the
rate of wages varies from It's. to 1888.
per week to builders-and ordinary
laborers, to double that amount earned
by coal filters and those engaged in
loading and dischargtng the cross
Channel steamers. The standard wage
for tradesmen is 36s. per week.
| For the workers whose average
wage may be set down at 20s. per
week, endeavoring to provide for a
family, the problem is an extremely
difficult one. Even at this season OF
the year, butter fetches from Is. Cd
to la. 10d. per lb., and eggs from 2s
to 2s. 4d. per dozen. Fuel is ASS. pei
ton, and the cost of clothing has in
creased from IS to 40 per cent. The
cost of sugar, bread and other food
stuffs have also enormously increased
In fact, so keenly do the workers fee
the situation that "a Sufferer" writ

months out on the west front, where
he would like to be. wager he says,
"Home."
And, just as there are soldiers who
long for home, there are men here who
do not want to leave home. There
are almost as many reasons why they
have not gone "out" as there are men.
So the military authorities, with the
aid of The police, are combing the
country. The comb is big and the
teeth close together. Not many are
found, but the authorities consider the
combing process worth while.
The combing Process.
The other evening l walked out of
the tube into knot of policemen,
plain clothes men and ordinary civil
ians.
Have you any exemption papers" {"
a husky fellow asked.
I'm an American"
Have you an identity book and a
registration card?" he countered.
After looking them over he allowed
me to pass. More than 200 men were
not so fortunate. They were herded
together in bicycle shed and later
taken to police station. Frantic mes
sages to homes were sent.
The combing goes on all over the
city-at theatres, cinema shows, box
ing matches, department stores, hotels
and market places. Before it ends, he
will be skillful dodger who escapes.

League of Melbourne, and it is repre-.
sentative?
2. Would the leader or leaders of
the aforesaid League call a meeting
of Irishmen to discuss the present sit
uation and to make provision for fu-
ture action? The meeting could be
representative of all Victoria by each
suburb of the city and the various
towns Of Victoria each sending dele
gate. That matter could be easily ad-
justed by the aforesaid League.
3. If the leaders of the aforesaid
League fail to call a general meeting,
would some prominent 1rishman come
forward and give us a lead, because
at this critical time lrishmen should
not be silent?
4. BY what authority does the
aforesaid League send cables to Mr..
Redmond? You stated in your last
issue that cable was sent to John
Redmond expressing approval of his
action in rejecting the measure. If
Mr. Redmond in his weakness, accept.
ed the piebald Home Rule Bill, would
the aforesaid League send him like
cablegram?
S. Are these cablegrams reflex of
Irish and lrish-American opinion? If
can gauge Irish opinion they are not.
6. AS a journal holding Irish SYM
pathies, will you open your columns
for a fund to help the poor people of
Dublin? America has sent thousands.
Why couldn't Australia send a few
hundreds? The money could be for

Letter by N. o. r.

Dublin, September 26, 1916.
In spite of the clamor for the ex.
tension of the Military Service Acts
to Ireland, the Government has not
yet revealed its hand. 1t is conceded
by everyone that the Irish are in no
mood to tamely submit to conscrip-
tion. Though it is fact that in the
first half of the last century Irish
men in large numbers fought for Eng
land, yet the men who Joined the
army were detested by their own peo-
pie. To don the English army uni
form was considered a shame, and
the men who enlisted were stunned
as criminals by their own people.
Poverty was in nearly every in.
stance responsible for driving young
Irishmen into the army. Not having
any money themselves or any friend
abroad to pay their passage to Ameri.
ca or some other country, they Joined
the army in sheer desperation. This
is true of the period from 1900 to
1860. Three-fourths of Wellington's g
Army was made up of lrishmen, and
they bore the brunt of the Peninsular
war and the other wars that ended
with the downfall Of Napoleon.
When Irishmen are asked today to
join the army they ask: How was
the services of the Irish under Wei.
lington repaid?" Was not the re-
ward for the services of the Irish
soldiers, Coercion Acts, suspensions
of the Habaes Corpus Act and the
Government created famine of 1846-47
These were the rewards that Ireland
received for the services of her de
luded sons who fought all over the
Continent in the service of England
How were the soldiers themselves re-
warded? When they became disabled
in war or enfeebled by age they were
I1eft to shift for themselves and endet
their lives in the warehouses or almi
houses as such institutions are called
in America.
| The number of Irishmen in the Eng
lish army has been steadily decreas
ing for the past SO years. Not alone
has there been falling off in mum
bers but also i'll the quality of the mer
who find their way into the army
