Americans should not think that the
Irish nation Is in this war whole-heart-
edly," eaid Mrs. Skeffington. MANY Irish
men joined the British army at the outset
Of hostilities on account of the Belgian
atrocities. But when England wanted to
use these same soldiers to shoot down Irish
citizens they rebelled.

 The question before the court is whether the petition Is such as ths statute requires, so as to make it the selectmen's duty to notify the voters that a ballot will be taken.
 The statute requires the selectme1 to give such notice upon the petition of not less than ten per centum Of the registered voters of any town, stating the street address of such voters as apears the last official voting list in towns wherein such addresses are on such list lodged with the town clerk at least 20 days before the date of any annual town meeting. .

 There are 590 names of petitioners One, Amos A. Browning, died before the petition was filed, so that the number of living petitioners is 5S9 Among the number is John Turner, whose name was crossed off by the town clerk because he could not count 1t, and the respondents, did not count him. Turner, however, testified to his signature, and he must be counted.
 The respondents claimed 35 defec- tive addresses, and that the petition IS short of legal addresses by 29. It appeared on the hearing that two of these addresses. i. e. those of Allen Latham and James H. Brink, agreed

there is no negative provision to the effect, and the addition of the require

 It appears to me therefore that this provision requiring street addresses ls matter of convenience rather than Of substance, matter directed with view to the proper, orderly, and prompt conduct of the business of the selectmen. and Is therefore to be re- garded as directory, and that it is a case like this where there has appar- ently been bona fide attempt to fol- low the directions of the statute. ac- companied with substantial success In doing so the petition will not be in
