The Irish Problem
May Be Settled
London.—(Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)—That the entry of
the United States into the war may
influence a settlement of the Iri6h
problem—self government for Ire-
land—is now not only the subject of-
^comment in the Irish newspapers but
■ ■ ■
^ ls forming an absorbing topic for edi-
* torlals and special articles in the
r Northcliffe Press, notably the Lon-
Tlmes. It Is even suggested that
America may have a direct hand in
the settlement; its influence in Irish
affairs is said to be shown in increas-
ed recruiting in Ireland.
The Freeman s Journal, the official
organ of the Nationalist Party, says:
*Tt is quite true that nobody would
expect America to interfere in Eng-
land’s domestic differences, but as
time goes on it is unthinkable that
America, fighting for the principle,
laid down by President Wilson and
having such a large population of
Irishmen In her states, will not point
joat to England the necessity of act-
ing in accordance with her own prin-
Cipl68 u
The Times suggests that if an
contingent Is sent over to
Europe, it should visit Ireland on its
way to France. “The Irish popula-
tion,” it says, “is bewildered apd al-
most paralyzed by the new turn of
events. There is an end to all talk
of ‘England’s War’ and of sympathy
with Germany. The whole fabric of
their anti-recruiting propoganda i$
undermined. Never at heart reluc-
tant to fight, some , of them heartily
ashamed of their idleness, and some
of them held back almost by force,
the young Irishmen are beginning per-
■ *force to -aee_this spreading struggle
for freedom In a new and larger
light.
“No one would lightly involve the
American republic in our own domes-
tic difficulties, but it would be sheer
folly not to recognize that Nationalist
Island is still far closer akin to Irish
Americans than to Englishmen.”
Some of the papers estimate that
' * » • •
there are 250,090 able bodied men in
Ireland who are eligible for military
service. ■ x\-
Mexicans Pour Into United States.
El Paso, May 1.—United States im-
migration officers here report an un-
usual rush of Mexican laborers to the
United States, to escape the new $8
head tax that goes into effect today
as well as the literacy test to be ap-
plied on and after May 5.

Sood Progress Made at Govern-

Officers Well Pleased With
the Efficiency Shown.
New York.—At the big government
aviation field on Hempstead Plains
good progress is being made in train- «
ing fliers and working' out tactical
problems. The biggest tiling yet at-
tempted was a flight by 25 airplanes,
the largest number ever to take the
air this side of the Atlantic. They
went in search of a theoretical enemy.
Some of the machines were manned
. by regular army officers and others
by civilians under training. *■ An en-
emy regiment—so “dispatches” had|
reported—was encamped in the vick*-
Ity. The problem was to find thel:
trenches, such of their forces as we:
on the march, their motor transpoi
and their artillery
The fliers took the air at thn
o’clock, and within an hour and
minutes- ’ all of the informatl

Most of the airplanes had retu:
within 40 minutes, • but -the squad
signed to locating the. motor tru
did not accomplish its mission un]

The army officers and the flying
structors were much pleased with

mishaps and according to schi
The 25 planes took the alr.ln sq
fio each one of which had been assi
a special mission. They ascended
heights varying from 6,000 to
feet, except the squad which had
ordered to detect the artillery fire
the enemy, which flew at about
feet. ‘ i
A trench about 100 feet long
been dug about three miles from
camp. Near it was an imaginary
ment represented by strips of
cloth. The motor truck which s
from Far Rockaway represented a
ply train, and was covered with
and white stripes. Smoke
were sent up to represent
fire.
In each machine were an obseiker
and a pilot. They took with them
maps of the country, sketching pads,
and cameras. Capt J. W. Butts of
the First Signal corps, operated at
camera by a revolving propeller,
which permitted the taking of several
hundred photographs within a short
period. >; —

The artillery fire was located first,
and soon afterward a second squad
returned with news of the position of

also was found within a wmparatively
short period. The motor In the mean-
time had been continuing its run to
Mineola, meeting on the Long Island
parkway a number of other machines,

hard to distinguish it. It had arrived

HAM IS SUBJECT OF SUIT
Offered as Prize in Church Money*
Raising Campaign, the Award
Is Disputed.
Anniston, Ala.—The Rev. Maddox
wanted to raise some money for the
Zion Methodist church, so he offered
a large fresh ham to the person rais-.
ing the largest amount of money.
Deacon George Greene got busy and,
according to later testimony, turned in
more money than all the rest. How-
ever, the Rev. Maddox and other high
dignitaries of the church, following a
meeting, declared that only ministers
of the gospel were permitted to com-
pete for the coveted ham.
Deacon Greene sued for the ham.
And following a long drawn-out trial a
verdict was finally rendered in favor
of the deacon, but meanwhile,- being
afraid the ham would spoil, the ec-
clesiastical court had eaten it The
judge ruled that they should Imme-
diately buy another. .

JEWELER PUTS IN
MEAT AS SIDE LINE
Calexico, Cal. — Cartoonists
and paragraphers have not been
so very extravagant in their de-
pictions of H. C. of L. if one is
to judge by the innovation of a
Main street jeweler here,. who.
has actually put in meats as a
side line. The store presents a T
dazzling array of diamonds,
steaks, rubies, pork chops, pigs’
feet and amethysts. The old talk
about casting your pearls before
swine now seems to acquire an
added significance.

Calumet does-—it's Pure and far superior to sour milk and soda.

day. Ten thousand tickets at $2,00

that novitiate and his gaining his
present rank he had the usual tour
of the different fleets, and shore duty
