Lord Wimborne's Report on recruiting in Ireland has been published.

It shows that (exclusive of Irishmen recruited in Great Britain and serving in English and Scottish regiments, but inclusive of those who were already with the voleurs and of Reservists who have rejoined) Ireland has sent 137,323 men to the Army. The number of men recruited for the Army since the beginning of the war has been 86,277. As for tho Navy, 5,100 Irishmen were serving at the outbreak of war, and 3,446 have since been recruited. It is estimated that there are still 400,000 unattested single men of military age ; and that after the number of men who would be starred ,under Lord Derby's scheme has been deducted, there remains a reser- voir which may yet be drawn upon of 100,000 unmarried men.
