The American Irishn1en Film.

The Hon. r. T. O'Connor. who has been in America for several weeks in the interest of the cause of Ire.and, told a representative of the London Chronicle:
 q do not think I can look for i'm mediate results in America, though the tide is turning already in my fa- vor. The American public are nearing for the first time the real facts of the situation at home. The scarcity Of news from home, especially about Ire land. is appalling. Secondly, there is the growth of war feeling in Ameri- ca, and with that the diminution or the influence of the pro-German agencies which have been working against me here.
 T regret to say it, but I must tell the painful truth; never did 1 find hatred of England SD furious. blind, concentrated as it is among the Irish in America today. l do not know that the Irish anywhere, outside cer- tain circles are pro-German, but fhey are antf- English, and a common ha- tred bridges many differences"
 "The convention has been assailed with some virulence here, as in Ire land Sane people here are ready to await it's decisions, but on these terms; that there is no partition, that there is fiscal autonomy, that in short there should be something like colo niaI home rule. If the convention should agree on some such constitu- tion as this, I would have no fear of making a -- successful campaign throughout America in it's favor"
 MT -O1Connor did not seem to be very hopeful that his mission to America would prove a success.

America Physically Fit.

That young Americans of the twen- tieth century were physically inferior to their forefathers. as. a result of the f!abbiness of peace was asserted pretty generally before the beginning of the present war. A Washington report says that 72.914 men who offered for the. officers reserve. 51,83S were found on preliminary exap1ination by civilian physicians physically satisfactory. A higher percentage of physical fitness probably never was shown by an equal number of applicants for military ser vice. few centuries ago, when any able bodied man was considered fit to bear arms, the entire 72914 would have been physi- caliy acceptable. Less than 51,S3s would have been physically sound.
