The estimate of 100000 men from Ire

put at 10000. and since then 10000
had volunteered He believed that no
more than $4,000 could be obtained
without doing infinitely more injury by
destroying the food supply.
The real purpose of the bill. he said,
was to divert public attention and in
Quiry from the true causes of the fail

to extend the bill to ireland would
open up another war front in Ireland,
all the more formidable because 1t

Calm Prevails in Ireland,
But Trouble Is Expected
if the Draft Is Enforced
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 11.-Absolute calm
seems to prevail among the Sinn Fein
party, says a Central News dispatch
from Dublin. but it is understood orders
have been given to all sections of the
Irish volunteers regarding action to be
taken in the event Irish conscription is
agreed upon.
At meetings OF many public bodies.
the dispatch adds, fiery speeches have
been made and strong resolutions pass
ed against the application of the man
power bill to Ireland.
Says Government Is Mad.
DUBLIN, April 1o.-"The government
has gone mad" says the Freeman's s
Journal, in commenting upon the pro-
posal to extend conscription to Ireland.
Lloyd George, the Quondam Boer
champion, announced the decision yes
terday to carry the war into Ireland.
Every one in Ireland knows what
the result will be. The only supporters
in Ireland of forcible CONSUMPTION of
Irishmen for the war are those who
want to see Ireland reduced to a welter

Must Use Full Resources.

In moving the second reading of the
bill Sir George Cave. unionist member
for Surrey, sa id 1t was the duty of the
country to do everything ii could do.
and then only should 1t be entitled to
use to the fullest extent the help given
by its allies. Germany had made Eu-
rope an armed camp, he added, and the
necessity of taking every man who
could be spared was overwhelming.
Sir George declared that he had been
advised that the application of the
man-po~sr bill to ireland would yield
. large number Of men. but if only
land it would be worth while. He did
not believe the army would be needed
to force the operation of the measure,
The speaker added that even II there
was an Irish parliament today the
question of oonscription in Ireland still
would rest with the imperial parlia-
ment.
Sir George. being continually inter-
rupted by nationalist members. said he
doubted whether the voice of Ireland
had yet been heard in the matter. The
speaker of the house appealed to tho
irish members to give Sir George a
fair hearing.
After Sir Charles Hobhouse, the for
mer postmaster general. and Donald
MacLean had criticised the bill, ex-
of men over forty who were fit for
service did not justify raising the age
limit. John Dillon. tho nationalist lead
er, said that. apart altogether from
IreIan no case had been made out for
the bill itself. AS to the Irish propos-
ais. they would destroy the hope of an
Irish settlement during the war.

SECRETARY TO Mr.. BAKER
QUITS POST, ENTERS ARMY

Ralph Hayes. private secretary to the
Secretary of War. has been drafted into
the military service and soon will take
his place in the ranks of the Army.
He went to France and England with
Secretary Baker, and was so inspired
and enthused by what he saw and
heard that on his return to this coun-
try he persuaded the Secretary to get
his place in the draft advanced so
that he might get into the fight against
the Germans without further delay. He
took his physical examination yester-
day and expects to don his uniform of
khaki in a few days.
Hayes is twenty-five years of age
and Vas associated with Mr.. Baker in
Cleveland before the latter entered

judge. BE a sport, man; be sport"
The soldier then quietly asked:
DO you consider yourself a sport,
sir?"
"Of course; Of course"
well, then, I'll toss you whether it's
fourteen days or nothing"
Every soldier dismissed from the
army has a longing for the khaki. One
of them tells Of his feeling in this
manner:
This blue serge suit of mine and
the white collar and the cuffs and hat
II don't know that 1 feel so very proud
Of them. Not that it isn't pleasant to
be relieved of this CHASTITY warlike
business; not that it isn't pleasant to
be back on the old job, but" Here
he shrugged his shoulders as one I'M
convinced.

U. S. People Saving

while at present we are a little

paign. Thursday. According to the
following report from r. G. Dun's
weekly review, the people Of the
United States have proven their con-
fidence in the governments baby
bonds, and to a degree that has placed
US ahead Of Great Britain. although
the comparison is hardly fair. in view
Of the fact that Great Britain has
been depleted by three years of war.
However, the following report is very
gratifying:
Receipts from the sale of war saw
tngs stamps in this country are al
ready exceeding those from the same
sources in Great Britain. according to
figures made public by the national
war saving Committee. For the last
four weeks, total receipts at the
treasury from this source were $40
000.0 as against $37. 600, 900 in Great
Britain As the total American war
savings now are in excess OF $4,000
600 and are averaging nearly $1,000
goo day, ii is expected that the first
500. 100000 viii be recorded in the
third week Of March, or in a little
more than three months after the
first offering Of the stamps by the
treasury"

SLOW ONE FOR CONVENTIONS

The reason Ell Paso did not get the
1920 convention of the International
Bricklayers' union was that the pa

realize that the war will possibly be
still going on in 1920 and that the ex-
pense of travelling to Ell Paso would
be inadvisab BILE. This message was
brought home by William ]. Moran
