A GERMAN EXPERT'S WARNING: NO LACK
DF MEN.
An Irish rouder writes:-In February says:-Captain Pereius, writing in the A telegram from Berlin to Amsterdam there were 235,000 Irishmen with the Berliner Tageblatt, discusses the relative colours, and the recent enthusiastic wave to the Irish Brigade now in training of reports that the British Navy has of recruiting is adding thousands of men strength of the British and German Fleets. After referring to the absurdity in the Co. Cork. These 225,000 Irishmen are not all with Irish regiments, hut suffered enormous losses, he says:" We when the history of this great struggle have confidence that our fleet will keep comes to be written, it will be shown at the enemy as heretofore away from our the sons of Ireland that cradle of a coasts, and will damage him by means fighting race have done their bit and of submarines and mines, but it would done it nobly, from Kitchener at the War be misconceiving and underestimating.

A MONTH OF SUBMARINE WAR.'
The Berlin Zokulanzeiger published on March 18th an inspired apology for the results of the first month of the sub- marine war." The conclusion is Is follows:--
It is true that the world has not been upset since February 18th, and the Eng- Hish will continue with all their strength to defend themselves before they submit to our submarines. But the main thing is that we should not relax in our steady and determined conduct of this warfare, and that we should stick firmaly and quietly to the way that we have chosen, notwithstanding the noise made by our enemies, or any attempts, from whatever source they may come, tu frighten us off our plan. Our trade ቢታ was not calculated merely for a moment. It will surely attain to the goal that was pro posed, for in this sphere also there can for us be only one watchword, and this i" to hold out.”
A
HERR BALLIN AND PEACE TERMS.
Herr Ballin, who seems to have forgot ten that he himself not long ago explained how peaco terms. must satisfy Germany's claims at sea, has now fallen into lino. In a lotter in which he says ho has no time for membership of u longue called "The New Fatherland he protests against public discussion at present of the terms of peace, In mer- cantile language, which is a curious com mentary upon the constant assertion that Britain is fighting a purely commercial war, he says:—
Before the war the view prevailed tha England would suffer from a lack of men for her feet, The error of this view has now been incontestably proved."
STRENGTH OF THE GERMAN'
ARMY.

Mrs. E. Donovan, 17, Gordon Street, King William's Town wrote on January, 24, 1914 :-"Two years ago I suffered from severe indigestion and biliotimess which made me unfit for anything. After taking three bottles of Mother Seigel's Syrup, no vestige of indigestion remained."

German "smartness" is illustrated by an incident related by one who has just returned from Galicia. It appears that a procession of coffins was observed near the Germans' advanced positions. The Russians, out of respect for the dead, im mediately censed fire, being under the impression that they were witnessing on impressive funeral ceremony. Shortly afterwards the Germans, were observed flocking around the coffins, which contain- ed supplies of bread.
