 WARNING IN IRELAND
Provisional Government System When

An Irish secretary with a capable mili- tar yadvisor would be appointed. There would be also a new chief of the royal Irish constabulary, who would be a well known soldier.
 Nobody would be allowed to carry arms without a permit and there would be II ogrants of amnesty. A garrison would be maintained in Ire land strong enough to preserve order and special safeguards would be ere ated for the loyalists in the south and west.
