1878 Irishmen
Fighting in Ranks
For Great Britain

Dublin, Feb. 15.-In a letter read at
a luncheon to the officers of the Irish
Canadian Rangers on their visit here,
John Redmond quoted statistics to
show the large number of Irishmen
who had enlisted in the army outside
of the Irish regiments. The Irish
leader said:
T. From Ireland itself, according to
the latest official figures, 173,773 Irish
men are serving in the army and navy
representing all closes and creeds
among our people.
From careful inquiries made
through the churches in the north of
Ireland and Scotland, from the casual
ty lists, and from other sources, the
calculation has been made on high au-
thority that at least $50, 900 sons of
the Irish race, most of them born in
Ireland itself, have Joined the colors.
''In Great Britain it is a pathetic
circumstance that these men are al
most forgotten except when their
names appear in the casualty lists of
non-Irish regiments. Some of the
Irish papers have for considerable
time past been publishing day by day
special casualty lists under the head
ing Irish Casualties in British Regi-
ments.''
Mr. Redmond was unable to person
ally greet the Rangers, being confined
to his home partly through illness and
the shock of his daughters death in
New York.
