[TO THE EDITOR or Tit "Semmes:] Sut,—For the good of
the great commonwealth of stations which we speak of oddly as the British Empire, and for the good of the Irish people themselves, it is most desirable that the Military Service Act should be extended to Ireland. And there is work that without delay should be done to prepare the ground for it, work.which it is very difficult for Englishmen to do. An English- man is suspect in Ireland. In spite of all his efforts to undo the wrongs of the past, the myth still survives that he is a tyrant and an oppressor. But men from the Dominions are not suspect as 'Englishmen are. Our object, 'therefore, should be to get Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans to speak to the Irish people, to write in their newspapers, address meetings all over the country, to talk with individuals, and make it clear to them for what we are fighting, and what a regrettable part the Irish people are at present playing.—I am, Sir, Ac., Baileybury College. F. W. HEADLEY.
