WILL SUPPRESS sINN FEINERs
Government Expected to Use Force
With Irish Organization.

London, Jan. 15.-The intention to
suppress forcibiy the Sim Fein organ
ization is attributed to the British gov
ernnsent in certain quarters in Ire
land, according to a Dublin dispatch
to the Mail. Moderates there, the cor
respondent says, are specializing anx-
iously as to what developments may
be expected from meeting of the
council which the governor general
called Monday night at Dublin castle.
The correspondent adds:
"Sober-minded, responsible men take
a very gloomy view of the situation.
1t is feared that the government is
about to embark on a new campaign of
repression, which may include the
forcible suppression of the Sim Fein,
with such results as are to be expected
when the government takes up armed
conflict with 70 per cent of the popu-
lation.'
