ENCLAlDS TROOPS MAKE
ARMED CAMP OF IRELAND.
By DANIEL O'CONNELL.
lntepnasisaal News Service.

DUBLIN, May 27.-England pro-
poses the "rcconquest" OF Ireland
with 100, 1000 troops, according to as
sertions made in republican circles
today. The British soldiers and con-
stabulary stationed in Ireland now
total almost that number, and re-
endorsements Of troops aSe coming in
constantly.
Col. Winston Churchill. British sec
retary OF war. admits that there are
about $4,000 British regulars sta
toned in ireland, not including the
constabulary. There were $4,000 con-
stables in Ireland in 1915, and 1t is
estimated that this number has been
nearly trebled in the meantime. The
constabulary is composed mainly OF
ex-English soldiers.
Sim Fein leaders declare that mot
even SOC, 900 soldiers could bring Ire
land into subserviency."
Great numbers of troopships. bring
ing soldiers and munitions, are arriv-
ing at the Dublin quays, but the Sim
Feiners say there Is not a single
regiment here that was recruited in
Ireland. except the Royal Irish Rifles,
which is made up OF Unionist fol-
lowers of Sir Edward Carson. the anti
home rule leader in Ulster province.
Sim Feiners declare the system of
block houses and barbed wire entan-
elements which the war office is said
to be planning throughout Ireland in
an effort to isolate certain Sim Fein
communities would not prove effect
i've. They say that the proposal to
make all Ireland an armed, camp
would only intesify Sim Fein activi-
ties out of the blockhouse area, max.
ing 1t necessary to station a regiment
in every Irish parish.
The curfew order, which was in
augurated in this city by the British
military authorities to protect the
lives OF policemen, has proved a
failure, IL is claimed by republican
leaders. They say there have been
more policemen murdered in broad
daylight during the past four months
than there were under cover OF dark.
ness in the preceding four months.
At Cork policemen work in patches
Of twenty or more. In addition to
being armed with carbines, the police
men are protected by companies of
soldiers. Even with these precau-
tion.. the Cork police are described
by the Sim Feiners as mere dunn
mics" and parts of the city are not
patroled by them.

CONGRESS WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE IRELAND
Defeat Of Begg Resolution BY
Committee DiscIoses Plan
to Postpone Issue.

There will be no recognition OF tho
so-called Republic of Ireland by the
House OF Representatives at this time.
This became evident today during
discussion Of the various resolutions
bearing on the Irish question now
pending before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
BY a 10-to-9 vote the committee de-
feated a resolution, presented by
Representative Begg of Ohio, which.
after expressions of sympathy with
the efforts of the Irish people to es-
tsblish in Ireland a government Of
their choice, stated that "the future
pence of the world will be addition
ally safeguarded whenever IL shall be
found feasible, by mutual concessions
compatible with the safety and dig
nifty of the great peoples directly con-
cerned to establish such a govern
ment."
The committee then turned to a
modified form of resolution which
states that the House of Representa-
tives views with concern and solici-
tude." conditions in Ireland, land ex-
presses it's sympathy with the aspira-
tions Of the Irish people for a gov
ernment of their own choice"
a final vote on this resolution will
be taken tomorrow by the committee.

SOLDIERS WILL
GET CIVIL J0BS
Commissioners Morrison's H.
600 Clerks Will Be Replaced
BY Enlisted Men.

More than $1,000 civilian employees
of the War Department will be dis
placed by enlisted men under the
terms OF the army reorganization bill
according to a letter which Commits
sioner Morrison. OF the civil service
sent to the Senate today.
The Civil Service Commission says
that the proposed change is really
"militarizing the War Department"
and it protests against the breakdown
Of civil service standards and the So
lection of men without reference to
their fitness involved in the change.
The letter states that in the office
of the adjutant general 400 civilian
employees will be displaced by en-
listed men; in the office of the in
spector general, 100 will be displaced:
in the transportation department,
12,500; and in the construction de-
partment. 6,1oo.
Inasmuch as the army reorganiza-
tion has been agreed upon in confer
ence, it is not probable that the pro.
will be effective. 1t is understood
test of the Civil Service Commissio ion
that the general policy of selecting
veterans of the world war for civilian
duties in the War Department has the
Endorsement of Congress.
