IRISH FOR YANk ARMY.
Recruiting Campaign For U. s. Army
Planned in Ireland.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
Dublin, June pa proposal to con-
duct in all the towns and villages Of
ireland a recruiting campaign to enlis
young men for service in the American
army has been submitted to the British
and American governments. The plan
has been made public by P. j. Mean
drew, chairman offs committee formed
by citizens of Dublin. In statement
printed in Dublin newspapers Mr.. Nc
Andrew proposed an organized recruit
ing campaign turnout Ireland. He said:
! y have had many inquiries from
different parts of Ireland as to the
mode Of procedure necessary for young
men to join the American army. The
young men state that they only realized
Recently that America had gone seri-
ously into the war and that they have
had letters from brothers. cousins and
more distant relatives in America who
have Joined the American army or
navy. All these American Irishnen,
they say, write them that, in their
opinion. the war will lead to the free
dom Of ireland as they are satisfied
that America will see that justice Is
done to the people of ireland without
further delay.
G under the circumstances the young
men Of this country feel that it Is only
right they should cooperate and assist
their relatives in America as that coun-
try has always been the home of the
irish people who have had to emigrate
thru necessity or otherwise since 1s47.
Z havs submitted the matter to the gov

APPEAL FOR IRISH REPUBLIC.
Important Electioneering Move Made
in Eas& Cavan

1Correspondence Associated Press.l
Dublin, May 2S.-The most important
eIectioneerng document which Is being
used by the Sim Feiners In their con-
test against the irish nationalists In
East Cavan is an appeal for the estah-
lfshment OF republic in Ireland. Tho
Associated Press correspondent. in .
tour of the East Cavan district, found
this document posted everywhere OH
public buildings and at cross roads,
generally surmounted by a small Sim
Fein flag. 1t was in the form OF u
small hand bill. privately printed by
Arthur Griffith" who Is now informed
in England.
The document reads in part: Can
Ireland stand alone? Is she rich
enough to set up as an independent
nation?
These are questions which can best
be answered by comparing Ireland
with small nations of Europe that have
prospered in freedom. See how Ireland
holds her own in size: Belgium has
II. 900 square miles; Holland $4,000;
Denmark $4,000; Switzerland 10000:
Ireland $500; Serbia $4,000; Portugal
35, 900; Greece $4,000; Bulgaria $4,000.
In population also she Is well to tho
fore. Norway, Denmark and Switzer-
land all, have less than her 4.4OO.ooo
population. Serbia. Bulgaria and
Greece have only one or two hundred
thousand more.
What do these nations pay each
year to run their own business. and
in most cases do their business better
than big nations? Here are the annual
bills: Serbia. Els. 100000: Greece. 6 o.
