in political circles in Ireland. Each
party claims that 1t shows their sea-
sonableness. Discussion of the report is
overshadowed by the CONSUMPTION con-
troversy. which grows acute. Sheavess
of resolutions of protest, as expected
come from nationalist bodies. some of
them being forwarded to the American
ambassador In London.
Prominence il given by nationalist
newspapers to the suggestion that next
Sunday at masses the priests instruct
the people to make passive resistance
to conscriptaon and to urge the organ
lied passive resistance would be more
effectua1 than an armed revolt. which
would be spasmodfe. short and unsuc-
cessful.
Meanwhile threatened conscription
has begun to stimulate volunteer re-
cruiting. AT Derry forty shipworkers
enlisted rather than wait for conscrip-
ton.
On the other hand Irish workmen who
have been employed on munitions
works IN England are returning here in
patches. thinking that the prospect for
avoiding military service Is greater in
Ireland. One hundred of these work
men arrived in Dublin today.
