Ploughs are being drawn by every avatlable type of an- imal whith men and women who never put their hand to a plough before have learned to do the work in -the sub- marine emergency,. The Irish depart- ment of agriculture has thrown all its execuflveiznwhlnery into the effort to increase the tillage enormously and has obtaified ‘& décree under the de- fense of the Realm ‘Act making a cer- tain minimum percentage of extra til- lage compulsory on every farmer in Ireland holding more than ten acres of land. This novel law requires that every farmer must till at least ten per cent. of the aragble part of his holdings in addition to whatever amount he tilled last year, unless he is already culti- vating fifty per cent. of his land, in which case he is not obliged to do more. There are 350,000 holdings to which this regulation applies, with an arable area of 14,500,000 acres. The department’s county commit- tees, which have for years been or- ganized in every county of Ireland, have stopped all other work and put their experts and administrative staffs on the sole work of food-production. They have organized special commit- tees in every parish and are mobiliz- ing all the available supplies of seeds, manures and implements. Machinery for saving labor is to be made to go as far as possible by a system of local exchange. Few people realize what a tremen- dous asset! Ireland has been to Eng- land during the war as a reservoir of - | foodstuffs. In the year before the war Eng- land’s imports of foodstuffs from her leading sources of supply were as fol- lows: United States 33,000,000 pounds sterling; Ireland 33,000,000 pounds sterling; Argentine, 30,000,000 pounds; Denmark, 31,000,000 pounds; Tndia, 18,000,000 pounds, and Canada, 18,000,000 pounds. The war disturbed this balance somewhat, bringing in greater sup- plies from America, but Ireland has also increased her output, and the imports of food from that island in 1915, the latest figures available, show a total of~46,000,000 pounds. IRELAND’S NEEDS Lord Mayor of Dublin Reviewing Con- ditions in Ireland Says Privation is Greater Than Ever. Dublin, ‘Ireland, April 4. —While the Irish farmer is prosperous beyond precedent and wages in many trades are higher than ever before, the con- dition of poorer classes in the cities iz in many cases worse than for years. ‘At the present moment the artisans and the poor i Dublin are reduced to a state of privation that causes a great feeling of alarm and dismay,” said the lord mayor at a meeting of the corporation this week. Members of the corporation com- plained that the work of rebuilding the city, which had been expected to do much to relieve destitution, was not going forward as had been | planned. It had not been found pos- sible, he explained, to import the ma- terial necessary for the work of re- building, although the ministry of munitions had promised to facilitate it in every way. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the chief secretary and impress him with the great need of employ- ment, especially in the building trades. GERMAN SHIPS ATTEMPT FLIGHT Start at Night~But Are Caught By ‘Warship. Tokio, April 4.—A Shanghai tele- gram received in official quarters says that the captains of two German steamers, which are interned in the port of Shanghai where they took ref- uge soon after the outbreak of the war, attempted to get their vessels away late at night after China had sent their protest to Germany on the unrestricted submarine warfare. The two steamers were sighted steaming at top speed towards the entrance of the port under cover of darkness through the merchantmen moored in the harbor. Japanese warships cruising near the mouth of the port espied the mys- terious ships and gave chase. Award of detection, the German ships turned and returned to théir mooring. The entente warships are maintaining a vigilant watch lest they should make another attempt. Japanese authorities allege that the intention was to sink the steamers at the entrance of the river to block trade with Shanghal. WILD PUNISH THE LAZY.

Plans on foot to establish a chair in the Dutch lan- guage, literature and history at Lon- don University, a movement that has attracted the more interest in the British metropolis because of the nu- merous and growing Dutch-speaking population that now forms part of the British empire, as citizens of United South Africa. ° In Germany professorships in Dutch already existed” at Bonn and Munster universities, and the events of the war have led the authorities at Leipzig to afford similar facilities. The temporary German rule in the Flemish parts of Belgium has nat- urally, evoked increased interest in Dutch in Germany. Indeed, many of the Germans more directly concerned have already acquired a knowedge of the language. In addition to existing Dutch insti- tutions in America, there ‘is a move- i ment on foot in the United States for the establishment of a chair in Neth- University of Michigan. It is in Michigan and Jowa that the Dutch CONFEDERATE SAY? “x-m" P element is still strong today. A recent writer on this subject es- timdted the numbers of the Dutch- speaking race in the world at 12,580,- 000 souls. If the Dutch manage to hold Hol- land, and of that there seems little doubt, and if, as is likely, Flanders is afforde@ more opportunity for de- velopment after the war them ‘it has enjoyed hitherto, the Dutch belfeve a bright future awaits .them in north- west Europe, where this sturdy race already forms a compact population of 11,200,000 souls. In Dutch East Indies the making and moulding of a new nation is com- mitted to their hands. Altogether the Dutch are convinced that the signs point to an increasingly important share for them in the mission and the future of the white race. WAR PROVES EXPENSIVE. Holland Finds Out It Is Other Than Sherman Remarked.

Little Rock, Arkansas, April 4.— Another gratifying example of layal- ty was demonstrated at the U. S. Navy Recruiting office, Little Rock, Arkansas when J. L, Leigh of 1511 ‘West Second street applied for enlist- ment in the U. S. Navy. Mr. Leigh requested that he be en- listed at once and sent to the largést battleship afloat for service on that | vessel, and he was greatly disap- pointed when informed by the re- cruiting officer that he exceeded the required age limit by forty some odd vears, he being sixty-nine years of age Mr, Leigh is a warrior of experi- ence, having enlisted in the Confed- erate army at the age of thirteen ani having served for four years, whicl ended In Aprfl 1865, under Gan-r: Lee, at Appo It is ng, theseé times "\ of ed to find su toyal spirit in the “Boys of 1861"” and such an example as shown by the worthy veteran, Mr. Leigh, will. no doubt'find a Jike response by the “boys of 1917".
