JOHN REDMONO. NOTED IRISH
 LEADER DF AD
Famous Advocate of Home Rule Succumbs to Oper-
 ation In London.

1 London, March 6.--John E. Red mond. the Irish Nationalist leader died this morning. ''''- MT. Redmond passed away peace l fully at 7:45 o'clock this morning ! Death was due to heart failure, fol
 lowing the recent operation. Mr. Redmond who underwent an | operation in London last Friday pass ! ed fair day yesterday and appar- 1 ently was maintaining the progress shown Monday.
 The Irish convention, which had been supported by Mr. Redmond, yes terday adopted message of sympa- thy in which an earnest wish was ex- pressed for his early and complete recovery.
 For more than twenty-five years
 John E. Redmond fought for home
 rule in Ireland and for majority of
 that time was the recognized leader
 of Irelands struggle for liberty" As chairman of the Irish Parliamentary
 party-the nationalists-he eXerted a powerful influence in bringing about the creation of the Irish convention organized in July, 1917. to devise a
 
 When David Lloyd George, the Brit ish premier, in that year offered two methods of settling the veXed Irish question, it was Redmond who, as spokesman for the nationalists, reject ed the proposition for a partition of Ireland, and, instead, accepted Lloyd Georges alternative plan for cOnvo- cation of the Irish convention in which Irishmen of nearly all parties and creeds might meet in the effort to compose their differences and draft a constitution that would afford justice to all.
 Redmond was one of the delegates to the convention which sat at various times at Dublin, Belfast, and Cork in 1917 and 1918.
 Born in 1851, son of w. A. Red mond. deceased. member of the Brit ish parliament from Wexford, Ire land. John E. Redmond had sat al- most continuously in the British house of commons since 1881. There his parliament fights for home rule earned for him the soubriquet of the "stormy petrel of the house."
 RedmOnd's eloquence and his grasp of parliamentary procedure won his early recognition in parliament and when in 1891 the Irish party was dis rupted consequent on the Parnell scandals, he became the accredited leader of the Parnellites. In 1900 he succeeded in bringing about an amal- gamation of! the two leading national ist parties and made his position as Nationalist leader secure.
 Redmond was we'll known in the United States which he visited in 1908 and 1910, and Australia, where in 1883 he not only performed a great service for his party in directing the collection of fund of more than S50,- 900 but found wife in the person of Johanna Dalton, New South Wales heiress and beauty.

Washington, March 6-While a
 large number of men will be called
 out during the present year to fill
 up the army and complete it's organ :. lzatlon, it was learned tonight that
 War department plans do not call for
 the creation of any additional divis- ions in 1918.
 ] The announcement concerning the
 second draft, to come soon from Pro-
 vost Marshal General Crowder may
 outline the manner in which less than l,O00,0 900 men-probably not much in excess of S00,0OO-are to be summoned gradually during the year to complete the existing organization ,, Delay in the announcement as to the next draft is understood to be due to uncertainty as to which method of alloting quotas to the states is to be followed. The senate already has passed and the house military com mlttee has favorably reported an amendment to the law to base the quotas on the number of men in class one instead of upon the total regis tratlon of state. This change is re- garded as certain to be made but to avoid further delay schedules of al- lotment under both systems are ready to go out as soon as final action is taken.
 As to the date of the second draft. members of congress from agricul- tural sections have been practically assured that no withdrawal of men from civil life was contemplated
 The completion of the full program which would embarass harvesting. of the war department without creat- ing any additional divisions probab- ly will absorb in the neighborhood of 60O,OOO men.

 The number of replacement troops necessary is worked in a scientific While official figures are not avail able, it is estimated that something more than 100000 will be necessary for the 1918 program, making 8OO,- poo necessary to call out during the year.
