BRITAIN TO END POLICE
TERRORISM in IRELAND

q LONDON, SApt 24.-The govern
ment moved today to end police ter
roxism In Ireland. A military inquiry
into fKe SackinE of SIX Irish towns
by . judicial investigation.
"Those responsible for the shooting &
up of towns and the confagrations
will be punished. whether they were
policemen or soldiers" 1t WAS an
nounced by the Irish office today.
Numerous arrests have been made
this week as a result of the increased
efficiency of the secret service in
ireland, which has now surpassed the
mark of efficiency established in war
time. 1t is believed that the best
method Of restoring order will be
quick action on information furnished
by the secret service"
WEEK OF VIOLENCE.
This has been a week Of violence,
fires. and sudden death in many parts
of Ireland. Chief outbreaks were:
Sunday-battle between Sim Fein-
ers and military policemen in and
near Dublin.
Monday-Balbriggan sacked and
two civilians killed.
Tuesday--A man believed to have
been a Sim Fein spy found shot to
death In a field in County Carlow.
Wednesday - -Milltown-Malbay. lie.
hinch and Ennistown attacked by po-
licemen.
Violent fighting occurred between
policemen and civilians in which ten
persons were reported killed. Many
houses destroyed by fire. Councillor
John Lynch, of Limerick, a Sim Fein
leader, shot to death at Dublin.
Bodyguards now protect the higher
officials of the Sim Fein organization
at Dublin and elsewhere, as a result
of the increased activity of the BLACK
and Tan" policemen.
QUIET AT BELFAST.
Quiet Prevails at Belfast. The Irish
office has decided against further
arming of civilians in Belfast. 1t is
announced that il Sir Ernest Clarke,
under secretary of Ireland, who Is
now in Belfast, can develop a scheme
by which an equal number OF Protes-
tants and Catholics can be armed, the
people will recognize the integrity
and impartiality of the movement and
subscribe to It.
The cabinet will not make a further
move toward arming. civilians at Bel
fast or employing Ulster volunteers
until Sir Ernest Clarke presents a
plan which he is convinced will work
smoothly.
One of the chief causes for alarm
now Is the possibility that Terence
McSwiney, Lord Mayor OF Cork. or
some Of the eleven hunser-striking
Sim Fsin prisoners in the Cork jail,
may die, precipitating more violent
disorders than any which have yet
occurred In ireland.
Threats of strong reprisals are be
ing made openly by the Sim Fein. Sir
Nevil MscReady, commander OF the
British forces in Ireland, has taken
steps to cope with them, but II is not
known exactly what form the Sim
Fein attacks may take. Troops and
policemen have been massed at stra-
tegic points in Ireland, chiefly upon
the coast. Government officials feared
that the Sim Feiners or their SYM
psthizers might Concentrate their as,
saults upon coast guard stations
which would impcril shipping.

Mr.. Hudson made the request for
police protection today after seeing
the officials at the Department Of

that he appealed to Maj. Gessford.

agreed to help in the fight against

After a consultation with the De-

Hudson sent a formal protest against
the action OF some Washington land
lords. and asked that the department

birth control is most bitterly de-

 Pour 21a ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle; then fill it up with plain granu- lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup, if desired. Thus you make full pint-a family suppiy-but costing no more than a small bottle of ready made cough syrup.
 And as a cough medicine. there Is really nothing better to be had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick. lasting relief. It promptly heals the infarued membranes that Lire the throat and air passages. stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your cough stops en- tirely.
