As a result of his gallant conduct in an unnamed battle on the west front Lieutenant Colonel Hiram c. Bearss, one of the best known off cers of the United States Marine Corps, has been cited in French army orders and has received the Croix de Guerre. Colonel Bearss has participated in fighting in many parts of the world during the twenty years in which he has been in ma rine service. He won the title of fighting officer" as long ago as the Boxer Rebellion, at which time he commanded relief force sent to aid the beleaguered legations. His brav- cry and efficiency at that time won him rank as major, and his subse- quent activities in campaigns in which marines alone took part earned promotion to bis psesent rank.

CONSUMPTION AGITATION IN
IRELAND HAS RELAXED

Dublin, July 1S.-The agitation
against CONSUMPTION has relaxed in
face of the proclamation calling for
voluntary recruits. and no attempt TO
apply the draft is anticipated before
October, and then only in the event of
conspicuous failure to obtain the
necessary men by enlistment.
The suppression of illegal drilling
proceeds daily and is greatly helped
by the warning of the government
that if it continues they will declare
the counties affected special military
areas. The Irish people have been
quick to realize that he extension of
such areas would greatly facilitate
application of CONSUMPTION, and ad-
vice is everywhere being given to the
young men to avoid assembling in
military formation. A curious fea-
ture of the prosecutions is the num-
Der of instances which reveal the fact
that the accused have brothers or
other relatives, sometimes two or
three now serving in the army in
France.
None of the Sim Feiners arrested
at Whitsuntide, imprisoned under the
Defence of the Realm Act, has SO
far taken advantage of the provision
which enables them to appeal against
their Imprisonment. To some of
those who protested against their
continued incarceration without trial
it was pointed out that trial in some
leading instances might mean a con
viction, that conviction on such a
charge carried penalty of death, and
that the accused might be better sat
isfed if their friends, instead of in
terfering, left them to the slighter
punishment of interment.
The immediate purpose of the gov
eminent is to make success of its
recruiting campaign. The work is
done by civilians drawn from all pc
litical parties. the most notable Of
whom is Sir Horace Plunkett. Lo
cal committees will be formed on this
principle in every district. Pro-Ally
propaganda, hitherto totally neglect
ed, wilr be undertaken and an at
tempt made by suitable literature tC
explain to the Irish people the rea
issues of the war The Associated
Press is informed by high officia
here that it is the intention to bring
American troops to Ireland. The
visit of the Canadians last year
proved some stimulus to recruiting
and it is felt hat he presence CT Am
erican troops would bring WILDLY
home to the Irish mind the part
which America is taking in the war
and remove the too prevalent impress
sions that this is an English war In
which Ireland has no interest

All Turkey now wants
Is the restitution

Mesopotamia and Egypt;
And the Crimea and Crete.

That all we want
Is couple or three
Million dollars and
A private car and
A limousine and
A summer cottage

A ticket to Atlantic City
And a self-acting fly swatter
And a grey hound
And something that will stop
A sunburned place from stinging
And a silenver that'll
Work on cats
And a large tub of suds
And an invitation
To the kaiser's funeral
And a few more little
Old trifles like that.

Much interest will attach to the out
come of the castor bean crop in this
State. Although the crop will be ready
to harvest in few weeks, it is yet too
early to forecast whether or not it
will prove profitable, and to what ex-
tent, because it is something entirely
new in Florida and we have not the
standards of previous years for COM
parison. Most of the fields look well,
and it is hoped that the growers will
find this new crop satisfactory as to
profits, as it was largely attempted
because of patriotic motives.
