Police in Ireland Make More Raids and Seize Guns and Ammunition

 London. July 5.-A press association dispatch from Dublin says that the police of Ballinasloe, County Galway. have raided farm houses within ra dius of 50 miles, seizing hundreds of guns and arms of various descriptions, The raids were carried out smulta- neouslv,' before daylight, and extended into the adjoining counties of Ros- common and Kings. There was no re- sistance except in a few instances where the presence of arms de- nied, but the weapons afterward were surrendered The country people were snrprised. not expecting such drastic action in, view of the recent proclama ton of Viscount French. lord lieuten- ant of Ireland, calling for recruits
 There also were number of ar rests in the outlying districts in con nection with alleged opposition to the discharge of police duties and the car rving out of the recruiting proclama tion.

 E. Fort
 Governor Henderson also granted a pa-
 role to c. c. Dickens of Jefferson. who

 WHILE BEING CONVOYED

The Covington was the first American transport to be sunk while in convoy, the former Hamburg American liner Presi- dent Lincoln and the former Morgan liner Antilles, the only other American transports sunk in the war zone, having been destroyed when returning home without the protection of war craft.

Apparently some of them were hurt, probably in being transferred to the destroyer in choppv sea, but evidently Admiral Sims did not give the number
