IRISHMEN ASSEMBLE
TO PROTEST DRAFT
Meetings Held in 100 Parishes-Tem-
PCT Called "Deplorablc"-Re-
cruiting More Brisk.

London, April I'm eetings to
protest against cOnscription were
held Monday in 100 parishes III Ire
lond, all classes of the population
Dublin to the Times. The clergy took
leading part in all the meetings.
Resolutions of protests are pouring in
from public bodies and Sim Fein
clubs are very active.
''UnQuesti iOnably' the dispatch adds,
the present temper of nationalist
Ireland is very deplorable. The coun-
try has lost all sense of proportion
and has forgotten, not merely home
rule, but the war 1t is a country of
contradictions, however, for in Dub
liz and some other towns voluntary
recruiting has been remarkably good
il the past few days"
The committee which is in charge
of drafting of an Irish home rule
bill, says the Times, includes ;. Aus
ten Chamberlain, former secretary for
India. This, it adds. Is a fact which
suggests that he already has or is
war cabinet.
The same paper prints an appeal
from unionist members of parliam ent
urging immediate Introduction of a
home rule bill as generous as can be
devised by the light of the recent dis
cussions of the Irish convention and
in harmony with the ultimate goal OF
federal devolution."

Mr.. Kunz was known for his blunt
and fearless uttcrances. He talked
freely and was German during
the period preceding the entrance of
the United States in the war.
There is no clue as to the exact ma

was arrested. il that constitutes his
violation. OF late Kunz has been
working on a contract in the con-
struction of retaining walls ut the
Vulcan Iron Works plant Of tho
Eastern Malleable Iron Works, The

was not a part of the factory produc-

taken to Hartford, to appear, it is
understood, in the United States Dis
trict court Kunz was prepared, it is
said, to furnish a bond of $4,000 for
his release, providing a bond was re-
quired.
The arrest of Mr.. Kunz was quietly
made. Four federal agents came to
the city and looked up Kunz. Find
ing him at work they permitted him
to go home and change his suit. The
government men declined to discuss
the case. They readily permitted
kunz to confer in private with his at
j'tOrney AT the police station. Just
about noontime kunz got into a wait
ing autom ol)le and was hurried to
+ Hartford.
The exact offonse with which Kunz
is charged is not known to, the local
police and his counsel refused to
state the nature of the case. IT is
