Az the same time that these rumors
were spread the Mourier law went

results n, achieved by the rumor mongers
ne Mourier law provides for taking

Ing ,hem to the front. In the begin

1louole getting men for the factories.
Ihey were all seized Immediately by

Dalblez law to get the specialists and
experts out of the ranks and back to
their benches. Now, when the ranks
are depleted, the Mourier law has had
to be passed to get the workmen back
into the army.
This law puts all workmen of the
i9lo, 1911 and 1912 classes back into
the army and takes also certain c1te-
CORES of the classes from 1903 to 1909

Draft Opposition
(Bu The Associated Pressl

DUBLIN, June 15.-At present there
is somewhat of lull in the political
situation in Iyeland. Agitation against
conscription has relaxed in the face of
the government proclamation calling
for voluntary recruits, and no attempt
to apply the draft is expected before
October, and then only in the event of
conspicuous failure to obtain the neces-
sary number by enlistment.
The visit of protest contemplated by
the Lord Mayor of Dublin to President
Wilson has been indefinitely post
poned. He is "holding himself in read-
ness" to go to Washington when the oc-
casion arises, but he has no expectation
at present that the occasion ever will
arise.
Suppression of illegal drilling pro-
ceeds daily, and it is greatly helped by
the governments warning that if TIE
drilling continues the counties affected
will be declared Especial military

10 some of those who have protested

LONDON, June 15.-The arrest of
two men at Ballygar, County Galway,
Ireland, on Friday led to a prolonged
conflict between crowd of sympa
thizers and the police. The police used
t,eir clubs and the sympathizers any
missile that came to hand. In the
meantime other sympathizers barri-
caded the roads by telling trees and
ssringing parpea wire. Some telegraph
wires were cut.
The men arrested were arraigned ir
a local court on charges of illegal
drilling and committed to the Sligo
iail. The rioting REQUIRED during their
removal to the Jail and the police were
unable to quell it. A bayonet charge
was ordered, and after several persons
in the crowd had been injured tae
sympathizers were dispersed.
