IRISHMEN IN THE TRENCHES
NORTH AND SOUTH FRATERNISE / London, December 15. In tho House of Commons, Major Willia Redmond, supporting the credit vote, mentioned that ;it was rcmarkablo that tho kindliest relations existed under all circumstances between the troops from Ulster and the rest of Ireland, who wore in close contact. He declared he had como to the conclusion that an understanding between Northem and Southern Ireland was quite possible. There was'no talk of separation in tho trenclios; there was only such talk in Ireland, Let them suppress their memories, ana hope for a brighter future. Major, M'Calmont (Antrim) said if recruits were not forthcoming from Ireland in tho next fow weeks,' the Irish regiments would ceaso to exist in sprang time. . Mr. Bonar Law re-echoed Major Redmond's sentiments, and declared that the desiro for a new Ireland was not confined to Irishmen. It was a great thing that, despite the rebellion, the officials' of the Nationalist Party supported the Empire in the war.—fteuter.
