According to the latest announce

forcible application of conscription
everywhere. in Imland outside North-
east Ulster. It has been decided to
divide Ireland into ten areas and to
apportion to each the. share of the
fifty thousand recruits it ought to fur-

quota will be held to have satisfied

The result would be that. the only
