IRTLAND AND ENLISTMENT.
LONDON, October ±3. Edward Carson, in an energetic reply to Lord Wimoorne's recruiting statement, says:—"lt is a great mistake to pretend that Ireland has made a splendid contribution to the war. This is merely ais encouragement to leave the work unfinished which Irishmen have so splendidly commenced. Ulster has contributed more than the three other provinces combined, Ulster enlisting 32 per cent .of her eligibles, Leinster 18, Munster 12, and Connaught 5 per cent."
The newspapers point out that Ireland's contribution compares favourably with that of Canada, Australia, and New. Zealand.
