MAN POWER A SERIOUS QUESTION.
SIR EDWARD CARSON UPBRAIDS IRELAND.
REFUSAL TO HEAR THE CALL. "The Times" Service. (Received October 5. 8.50 a.m.) LONDON, October 4. Sir Edward Carson, writing in ''The Times," says the man power is the most serious question confronting the War Office. Of 650,000 men of military age in Ireland, under 120,000 had enlisted. There were more Ulsterites at the front than from the whole remaining provinces. Great Britain would probably be compelled to revise and extend the Military Service Act in the near future. Men were essential, at whatever cost. Sir Edward Carson added: "What will Australia and Canada say to shirking Ireland, who refuses to hearken to the call of the Irishmen in the trenches?"
