ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Termika.— We do not think it opportune to deal with the subject at the present moment. EC. (Ettrick).— Next month. For precise date apply the Administrator, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Auoklan'd. J. O'S..N» (Ghristcburch)— -In compiling our Irish news we do not differentiate between the counties in any way, We give the news as we find it in our exchanges. At* the same time some counties are more regularly mentioned in Our columns owing to the fact that they are better served with local newspapers than others. News items from Kerry are not by any means as scarce in our columns as you make out. We will take, by way of illustration, our issues for the months of June and July. Of the 132 items of Irish county news which appearea" during these two months, 14 were credited to Kerry, which is more than double the average, seeing that there are 32 counties in Ireland. If we take June by itself we find that our issue for the Ist had two items from Kerry out of 25 county items- for the whole of Ireland ; the Bth had 3 out of 14 ; the 15th hajd 4 out of 20 ; and the 22nd had 2 out of 10.
