But occurring in California. with

With the path of the eclipse 50
narrow, and an uncertainty as to its
exact position. of perhaps an
amount equal to its width, there Is
a danger that a camera placed in
the expected path actually might be
outside. Ordinarily. when the path
is a hundred or more miles wide, an
uncertainty of a half mile or so at
the edge is not serious.
On account Of this, the aStron-

Recruiting Campaign ReaWak- ems Fears Of Civil War

Dublin, Jan. 10 P)-Recruiting
 of 50,o00 men and officers for the
 Irish Free State is meeting with considerable opposition.
 So far most of the opposition has come from the young intcllectual'
 class and older republicans who wildly remember the late civil war and fear what they call "a militia
 rist movement which may be used
 to break strikes or keep Irish citi-
 zens in subjection.'
 The authorities, political observers say, are handling the situation with tact The work of organization is proceeding apace and will undoubt- edly be an accomplished fact be- fore much longer.
 Most of the trouble so far has centered on the attempts 10 enroll National university students as of ftcers in the new army. Some of it is undoubtedly sponsored by the secret, illegal Irish republican army which is still in existence. Exciting scenes took place at Ma tional University college when Free State army officers appeared 10 en- roll students in the officers train ing corps. A large number of stu dents objected, the gist of their protest being: Tt is not right that the university should be turned into a recruiting office"
 After the speeches the students rushed into the room where the army officers were enrolling appli- cants and threw a number of ! stink" bombs.
