Sim Feiners Regarded Unsafe.

The government position. as stated
by the ministers. is that the Sim
Feiners and the support accorded
them from SO many unexpected quar-
ters. have made it unsafe to grant
home rule to Ireland during the war.
Meanwhile men are wanted for the
army. The $4,000 asked for are far
short of the proportion that could be
claimed. Viscount French apparently
would prefer $4,000 volunteers to
twice that number of drafted men,

Scheme Is Far-Reachtng.
The scheme is far-reaching. The au-

how the plan will fit in with the con-

take to demobilize the millions of
troops is a question to which even
those occupied in the task are not
prepared to give a definite reply.

to the Irish people to provide $4,000
recruits for the Army before October
/. 1t is a workmanlike body limited to
five members, Of whom four are al
ready at work. The fifth, who has not
yet been appointed, will represent the

posed of men of varying views as to
politics and religion, but strongly
united in their sense that it is Ire
lands duty to take a proper part in
the war.
Capt. Gwynn. NJ. p, and Sergt. Sulli-

their views before the country and

aloof from the war would discredit
Ireland in the eyes of the world.

BOMBERS'
WORK DIVIDED

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Nov. /. Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. 1.-THE working
month of a night bombing squadron In
France Is divided into W periods,
which are known as the light and the
dark.
The light period overs the moonlit
half of the month. Should 1t be at
tended by fine weather. great aerial
activity prevails. Practically any raid
that is possible by day can be carried
out equally well at night during this
period, for although certain details are
not clearly visible. the essential fea-
lures OF the ground stand out clearly
and can easily be followed.
The ease with which targets can be
found depends very largely on their
geographical position. Water is the
great guide for night flying. and on a
clear moonlight night 1t can be seen
from a great distance. Hence targets
situated e a river, canal or lake pre-
sent no difficulty whatever as regards
their being found.
Railways, too, II they are in use,
prove excellent guides. for the rails
shine clearly in the moonlight and can
easily be followed. Woods, especially
II they are of peculiar shape, make good
landmarks, for the black mass, which
shows up well In the moonlight, can be
quickly identified on the map.
During the light period most OF the
long raids of the squadron are carried
out. The dark period, the moonless
nights, is a much less active time. Fly.

a compass, but on clear starlit nights
raids on targets such as factories with
