A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

Irish Independent, makes the follow
ing pertinent and timely remarks:
In the excitement occasioned by the
release of the Irish prisoners it is to
be hoped that many other tyrannies
inflicted under martial law will not be
forgotten. Mr.. Lloyd George stated
that restitution and reparation should
be made to Ireland, and it should be
seen to that the men dismissed from
the various Government offices, with
out trial, for alleged completely in the
rebellion should at once be reinstated
without losing their pension rights
and be fully compensated for the time
during which they have been deprived
of their means of livelihood.
Men in prison for such crimes as
shouting Cup the Rebels" and Cup
Sim Fein," for flying Sim Fein flags,
for alleged buying of rifles, etc., must
also be released; whilst other men
whether white or black, who have suf-
fered on account of Sim Fein should
not be overlooked. The deportees
should be fully compensated for their
deportation without trial, and for all
losses .occasioned thereby.
Having done with the Government
the Unionist and alleged Nationalist
firms in Dublin and elsewhere who
dismissed or otherwise penalized their
men should be made to toe the fine.
When all these things and hundred
others are done to their satisfaction,
will be time enough for the Sim Fein.
ers to even consider the question of
taking part in the Convention.

old Prussian model into which Uncle
Sam is forcing his young recruits
There are two principal complaints
against the American cut, the first is
the high and stiff collar, and the second
is the absence of roomy pockets The
French uniform has the old g military
collar, or follower, while the British
coat is cut like a civilian garment, as
regards the collar. The American up
standing collar is not only uncomforta-
bic for field use, but has to be hooked
together like dress.
Being tight fitting jacket, the
American army coat has no room in its
pockets, while both the British. and the
French coats have the ''pouch = or tel
escope' pockets, both on either side of
the chest, and on the hips. While it is
impossible to carry anything thicker
than letter i'll the pockets of the
American coat, the French and British
style of pockets hold anything from a
may ease to camera. The American
uniform was evidently designed by a
court tailor or a woman for a parade
while the French and British coats are
adapted to campaign purposes.

.CONVOYS REDUCE
LOSS FROM U-BOATS
Material Check the Result Of the Work
of American and British Naval
Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Convoy-
ing of merchant ships by American and
British naval vessels has materially re-
duced submarine losses, it is said Off
cially at the navy department. At the
time the convoy system was adopted
records for allied and American ship
ping showed that approximately one half
of l per cent of conveyed merchant
craft fell victims to the German subma-
Erines. s.
The figures have not been worked
up in the weeks that have elasped since
then, but indications are that even that
small percentage has been very much
reduced with the general application of
the convoy plan. There have been no re-
cent submarine losses in the vicinity
of Gibraltar or the Azores, which tends
to support the view that the convoy
system is proving itself effective.
Some navy officials believe mat the
massed attack by six German subma-
rines on the conveyed merchant ships,
of which the American tanker West
wegO was one, indicates a change IN
tactics by the German admiralty. Brit
ish and American strategists, however
are working out a method of meeting
massed attacks. 1t was said officially
also that absolutely no information OF
fany character had been received indi
leating that the submarines would be
temployed upon this side of the Atlaa
tie
