SERVICE
IN IRELAND
ORGANS ASHAMED
OF THE "PU1Llc SCANDAL" OF
KIDNAPPING IRISH WORKERS
MEN WHO WORKED IN ENG.
LAND ARRESTED AND HANDED
OVER TO THE MILITARY AU.
THoRITlES.

The Independent, a pro-Ally recruit
ing sheet, is forced to protest against
the public scandal of Kidnapping Irish
laborers for the British army. 1t
writes:
THE attempts which are being
made to force lrishmen into the Army
against their will is little short OF
public scandal. Parliament specifically
exempted Ireland from the operations
OF the National Registration Act and
the Military Service Act, and unless
and until Parliament decides other
wise lrishmen, even though tempor-
arily resident in Great Britain, are
exempt from compulsory military serv-
ice. Still numerous cases have arisen
where lrishmen who happened to be
in Great Britain for some brief period
have been hauled before the military
tribunals, and many of them forced
into the army. One Of the worst cases
of this sort occurred last week. A
young man named George O'Sullivan,
, native Of one of the poorest districts
of County Galway, was arrested by
the police on the charge of being a
military absentee, and brought before
local magistrate. 1t was admitted
that O'Sullivan had worked in Eng
land for five or six months last year
as temporary laborer. His solicitor
pointed out that the accused was not
| ordinarily resident in Great Britain,
| and was in consequence exempt from
military service. 1t was further point
ed out that this was question for
the magistrate to decide in accordance
with the letter which the Director of
Recruiting wrote to Mr.. ]. Z. Red
mond, a month ago. But the police
pressed for a remand of the prisoner
pending the arrival of military es.
cort, and the magistrate took this
course. O'Sullivan was brought under
military escort to London and taken
before tribunal under the Military
Service Act. Thereupon the military
representative stated he had received
orders to withdraw the charge, and
the prisoner was released. 1t was
stated that his expenses back to Ire.
land would probably be paid; but who
is to pay the solicitors he had to en-
gage, both in Galway and in London,
and what compensation will he get for
being illegally detained in custody for
fully a week? This one man was able
to prove his claim to exemption, but
how many other lrisllmen, unable to
engage legal assistance, have been H.
legally Kidnapped into the Army? This
is not the way to encourage recruiting
in Ireland, nor will the renewed at
tempts to impose conscription on this
country prove very helpful. No one
in Ireland, North or South, wants
conscription. except, perhaps, some
| persons who know they will be exempt
from its operations. 1t is extremely
doubtful If it could be enforced, and
even If it could the game would not
be worth the candle. Any attempt to
force conscription on Ireland will be
sure to cause serious trouble, possibly
| widespread bloodshed. The doubtful
gain in men thus forced into the Army
would be more than counterbalanced
by the bad effect that would be GRE
ated in Ireland and in neutral coun-
tries like the United States"

NEW INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL,

An Industrial school and farm for
boys will shortly be established by
the diocese of Toledo. The undertak-
ing has been made possible by the
gift of a Toledo woman, consisting of
$4,000 for the purchase of the land
and $25,000 for erection of buildings.
All the useful trades will be taught
in the school, which will be under the
management of one of the brotherhood
orders.

PARK
NOW AVAILABLE FOR MATINEE
CLUB PURPOSES
Splendid Opportunity for Horssmen
of City to Organize; May Train
Foreign Steeds Here

With Hiawatha park at their dis
posal, the horsemen of Mt. Vernon
now have a magnificent opportunity
for the formation Of matinee club
in Mt. Vernon this season.
Fanclers of this city will meet
Tuesday night for the purpose of
forming such club if possible. In
event of this being done, II. G. Gates,
secretary of the Knox County Agri-
cultural society, will offer the use of
the park to the club.
The track is said to be badly in
need of repair at the present time
but little time and money will make
il one of the fastest "twice-arounds"
in the state. Several horsemen from
out of town are said TO be very anX-
ious to bring their strings here to
train this spring.

SPLENDID
SHOWING OF M. p. CHURCH AT
DEDICATION ANNIVERSARY
Sunday School Glasses Turn In Total
OF $485.92 And Report Average
Attendance of 340-A Fe-
Iicitous Occasion
(Bible Glass Reporterl

The Mulberry Street Methodist Pro-
testant church celebrated the eleventh
anniversary of its dedication Satur-
day, April 10Th. More than two hun
dred members registered during the
afternoon, each of whom received a
ticket for supper which was served by
the Ladies' Aid Society between the
hours of $500 and $3.50. The menu:
creamed chicken, mashed potatoes
and gravy, creamed lima beans, cold
slaw, bread, butter and jelly, peaches,
cake and coffee,
Immediately following supper, an
excellent program of musical numbers,
songs and recitations was rendered un-
der the direction of Mrs. Mary e. Jack
son, followed by reports from the diff
ferent branches of the church and Sun
day school 1t has always been the
custom for the ladies of the adult
classes to collect fund in different
ways throughout the year which is
turned in at this time as their anni-
versary Offering, all monies derived in
this manner to go into the building
fund for repairs on the church and
parsonage.
Mrs. Browns class, "The Cleaners
was the first to report their offering
amounting to the magnificent sum OF
$196.S4, Mrs. Settlers class, while not
so large in numbers, proved to be the
more successful with $210.S2 to their
credit; Mrs. Reeder's, "The Mission
airy Class" $4S.S6; Mrs, oberholtzer's
class, $11.5O. This latter class de-
serves credit for the effort shown in

this work, being composed entirely of
young ladies', who, with no outside
help, raised their fund by special col
lections among themselves. The gen.
eral collection of $23.30 added to the
others reached the grand total of
$4S5.S2.
In a few happy remarks, the treasur-
er. Mr. w. II. Turner, informed the Ia
dies that their generosity in turning in
such large sum would make it possi-
BILE to cancel all outstanding obliga-
tions and leave a nice balance in the
treasury for future improvements,
Mr.. A. P. Taylor, Sunday school SUI
perintendent, reported that over 10000
had been in attendance during the
past year, with an average of $40 per
Sunday. He made a direct appeal to
the church people to keep up the good
work they have been doing, asking all
to make a special effort to be present
and bring a friend, next Sunday, Eas-
ter morning. at which time an interest
ing program, appropriate to the occa-
sion, will be given by the children.
The Rev. o, e. Ford paid fine trib-
ute to the ladies' classes, the Sunday
school and the church as whole for
the spirit of progressivenesst they have
shown in the past, ending with the
hope that all combined will work to-
gether in perfect harmony throughout
the coming year, to struggle onward
hand in hand, to remember that while
we are helping ourselves we are also
helping others, and God will give us
the credit when we attain that happy
goal for which all are striving in the

Nearly 1900 balloons were sent up
by children of all ages at the Y. M. G..
A. Saturday afternoon in the fight
contest which has been inaugurated,
the prize of which is Y. M. c. A.

which the winner would belong.
Secretary R. II. Kinney, Boys Sec

with numerous assistants, were kept
busy all afternoon selling balloons to
contestants, pasting on labels bear
ing the Y. M. c. A. inscription, to-
gether with the request that the per-

The desk was besieged by young
sters who sought to get in the con-
test, the rows sometimes being three
deep. With their balloons in hand,
they proceeded outside and there, af-
ter carefully selecting an open space,
| let loose of them. Some of the bal
looms required little time for as
cent on account of strong air cur
rents. A few bursted when they
struck limbs of trees, but the major
ity sped on their way for parts un-

The results Of the contest will be
watched with great interest, not
merely by the contestants alone, but
by everybody. Answers will be re-
ported in to the Y. NJ. G. A. immedi-
ately and a full record kept.
