11. Recruiting in Ireland has been placed upon a new basis. Hitherto the work has been entrusted to voluntary committees formed in each county, with a central recruiting council for Ireland. The lord lieutenant of a county, usually a peer, has been at the head of the work in his county. Meetings have been held in every part of Ireland, and much seal has been displayed by the speakers' at these assemblies, which have inoluded representatives of all parties and creeds.

The result has been, as announced, ir Maj. Gen. Lovlck Friend, commander of the forces In Ireland, the enlistment of 81,000 men for the Infantry. As the percentage of rejections for unfitness has been as high aa 61 per cent the total number from Ireland who offered themselves for service In the army was about 160,000. Ireland at the outbreak of the war had more than her proportion of men In the army and in the reserves and this total has been described by the highest military authority In a publlo letter as.

"magnificent." There must be added to it also Ireland's recruitment for the navy, to which a substantial number of men have gone. A fresh appeal has been made for more men. It will be necessary to fill the wastage in tho Irish divisions at the front To keep them up to a strength, a recruitment of about 1100 men a week is officially stated to be necessary and unless the Irish divisions are to be filled up from Scottish and English drafts, that number will have to be found in Ireland. No difficulty however, la expected to arise In the matter. The rate of recruitment asked wow )ss than -that reached in the months of April and May last and experience has taught the necessity for improved methods which are counted upon to make the task easier.

The existing organizations have been thanked for their services, which in that particular form are now at an end, and a new department for Irish recruiting has been established under the supreme headship of Lord Wlmborne, Lord Lieutenant He has appointed as chief director, Capt.
