RECRUITING IN IRELAND.

[To TEE EDITOR OF THY "SrEcTaron.n

SIR,—I heartily concur in every word you have written regarding seditious Ireland. There is, however, the danger of too much being made out of the attacks of the extreme weeklies. Their influence is not very great. But the influence of the priests, which is always overwhelming in Ireland, is being used against recruiting. Now about Mr. Redmond; be has done his best to carry out his agreement with the Govern- ment, but after two months' work he has only succeeded in getting eight hundred of the two hundred thousand Nationalist Volunteers to join "Kitchener's Army."—I am, Sir, &c., IRISHMAN.
