Show i uu VOLUNTARY CALL SENT TO IRISH LONDON. June 5 The voluntary recruiting appeal by Viscount French, lord lieutenant of Ireland, is neither applauded nor condemned by John Dillon, the nationalist leader, in an interview in-terview with Ihe Daily Telegraph's correspondent in Dublin. "The government.'' Mr. Dillon is quoted as saying, "has certainly done one sensible thing in abandoning the attemp' to enforce conscription in Ireland Ire-land against the will of the people which would have brought no strength to the allied cause and undoubtedly would have produced world-wide evils. Any prospects of the success of Ixrd French's appeal depend in my judgment judg-ment entirely on the extent to which the government will reverse their Irish policy and the methods of recruiting practiced in Ireland since the outbreak of the war." |
