DUBLIN. Sept 10 Correspondence
of The Associated ress).-Amcr-
lea IS entrance into the war should set
tic the question for lrishmen whether
they should voluntarily enlist in the
British army. in the opinion OF Colonel
Arthur Lynch, nationalist and member
of parliament, who is engaged in an
Irish recruiting campaign.
Friendship with America should be
the deciding factor of all Irish policy
he said to The Associated Press cor
RESPONDENT. q mention these matters
because Young Irishmen whom we wish
especially to secure have had their
minds captivated and in some eases per
vertcd by a propaganda which has ITS
main origin in America. The deepest
motive Of this propaganda is hatred
Of England, but some of the leaders
have been so blinded by their passion
or resentment that they have glideo
along the path of pro-Germanism ano
therefore treachery to the Stars anc
Stripes.

up our accursed habit of clinging to ;

TRICKS PLAYED

Ground Beneath 1t Becomes Runway
for Many Small Things, Includ-

WITH AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE Correspondence of The Asso-
ciated Press .-Barbed wire which pro
tects the trenches plays odd tricks on the
soldier sentries.
The ground under the wire becomes a
runway for all the small things of the
night. Rats make trapeZes out of the
taut strands, weazels follow them and
the fight which ensues may set dancing
all the empty jam tins strung along the
wire as alarms so that sentries over a
long stretch of front will fire repeatedly
into the night, bringing the guards to
their posts and awaking soldiers over a
wide area.
/ AT night the wire takes on a CHASTITY
aspect. The cool dews settle on the
picket posts and the wires contract
straining with little rustling and creep
ing noises or chatting and chattering like
living thing. The muffled sentries prick
their ears to listen and peer anxiously
through the darkness, now and then dis
charging a shot into the black night, foI

Mayo For Prohibition.

4 good MANY Democrats who are
members of the party because of sim
cere conviction must have read with
considerable CONSERVATION the pro-
nouneement made by DIR. Mayo, the
Democratic candidate for governor. set
ting forth that he was in favor of the
ratification of the proposed prohibition
amendment.
The Democratic party does not 60
in for changing the fundamental law
Of the nation except in cases of real
necessity and in conformity with the
principles of sound political science.
Moreover, the Democrats belong TO the
school of state rights, carrying the
| doctrine to an extreme not found among
the Republicans.
| Doctor Mayo, in other words, takes
| his position without due regard to the
! principles of his party, and it is not
| difficult to understand that some Of
! the party leaders are very much put
out by his having consigned himself
! into the hands of those who wish to
stampede the amendment through.
Probably the doctor looked at il
from the standpoint of political expe-
diency, hoping that by coming out in
favor he would capture votes and thus
be in position to make better show
