NO IRISH DRAFT
BEFORE OCTOBER
And Then Only in Case of Conspicuous
Failure to Obtain the Necessary
Men by Enlistment.

Dublin, July 10 correspondence OF
the Associated Press) - The agitation
against CONSUMPTION has relaxed in face
of the proclamation calling for yolun-
tary recruits, and no attempt to apply
the draft is anticipated before October,
and then only in the event of conspic-
uous failure TO obtain the necessary men
by enlistment.
The suppression of illegal drilling pro-
ceeds daily and is greatly helped by the
warning of the government that If it
continues they will declare the counties
affected Special military areas" The
Irish people have been quick to realize
that the extension of such areas would
greatly facilitate the application of con-
scription, and advice is everywhere being
given to the young men to avoid assem-
bling in military formation. A CURIOUS
feature of the prosecutions is the num-
Der of instances which reveal the fact
that the accused have brothers or other
relatives, sometimes two or three now
serving in the army in France.
None Of the Sim Feiners arrested at
Whitsuntide, imprisoned under the de-
tense of the realm act, has so far taken
advantage of the provision which en-
ables them to appeal against their i'm
prisonment. To some of those who pro-
tested against their continued incarcera-
ton without trial, it was pointed out
that trial in some leading instances
might mean conviction, that a convic.
tion on such a charge carried penalty Of
death, and that the accused might be
better satisfied If their friends, instead
of interfering, left them TO the slighter
punishment Of internment.
The immediate purpose of the govern
ment is to make success Of its re-
criliting campaign The work is done by
civilians drawn from all political par
ties, the most notable of whom is Sir
Horace Plunkett. Local committees will
be formed on this principle in every dis.
trict. Pro-ally propaganda, hitherto to-
tally neglected, will be undertaken and
an attempt made by suitable literature
to explain to the Irish people the real
issue of the war. The Associated Press
is informed by high official here that
it is the intention TO 'ag American
troops to Ireland. The visit OF the Cana
dams last year proved some stimulus
to recruiting, and 1t is felt that the pres
ence of American troops would bring
wildly home to the Irish mind the part
which America is taking in the war, and
remove the too prevalent impressions
that this is an English war in which Ire
land has no interest.

"Jist about now" is the time mean,

WHEN SLEEP DOES
NOT REFRESH YOU

People who are tired out, who arise
in the morning feeling that sleep has
not refreshed them, are in a state of
nervous exhaustion that borders on
the condition that doctors call neur-
asthenia. The causes are varied.
The symptoms are oyer-sensitiveness,
irritability, a disposition to worry over
triaes, headache, possibly nausea.
"My neryoussystem was weakened"
said Mr.. Charles Crowley of34 Richard
street, West Lynn, Mass, "my limbs
were shaky and the muscles sore. At
times it seemed my limbs would give
out. The muscles of my shoulders were
painful and sore. l had severe head
aches. My rest seemed to do me no
good and / was tired in the morning.
There was a trembling sensation when

The treatment in cases like this is
one of nutrition Of the nerve cells,

U.BOAT COMMANDER
SHOWED KINDNESS
Striking Exception to the General Rule,
Survivors of Torpedoed Ship Were
Given Bandages and Lini-
n1ent.

London, July l9,-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press One instance in
which an enemy submarine commander,
after sinking a British vessel, amazed
the survivors by giving them bandages
and liniment for their wounds, stands
out in sharp contrast with the brutality
or indifference to suffering practiced by
the German sea pirates. Nevertheless
the survivors tell story of extreme
hardship endured in small boats for six
days and nights. Seventeen are missing
of the ships company of ninety-fiv
Five hundred miles from the Irish
coast large British steamer, outward
bound in ballast received a torpedo death
blow. No time was lost by the ships
company in getting away from the sink
ing ship.
Many Of the crew had been wounded,
especially among the engine-room force.
With difficulty the injured were placed
in the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
nearby and the commander came on deck.
He noticed the wounded, and calling the
boats alongside his craft, he went in
side, returning with bandages and lini
ment which he handed to the surprised
officers in charge of the boats. This act
of kindness saved several lives.
A steamers smoke was seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off rapid
ly. The small boats shaped course to-
ward land, but the wind was light and
unfavorable.
Only small store of biscuits was
carried. There was water enough for a
very limited ration and in the days that
followed the suns heat was almost in
tolerable. Wounded Lascars succumbed
one after another and were consigned to
the sea.
On the fifth day a vessel hove in sight
and bore down toward them. Then it
seemed to change its mind and steamed
off in another direction. Probably the
ship thought the small boats were Ger
man submarine decoys.
Torture reached its limits the next
day. Previously the officers had resort
ed to physical force to prevent the Las
cars from drinking the salt water. Now
nothing could restrain them and they
eagerly drank the brine. Soon afterward
two died of their sufferings.
Hope had almost died when late that
evening vessel sighted and picked them
up. They were landed in Ireland.
