Coincident with this announcement,
the Sim Feln Irish BuLlctin publishes
the details of attacks on futy-eisht po-
Zee barracks up to September 80, OF
which, II is stated. twelve were captured
and two destroyed during fighting, while

were captured. tried by court-martial
and sentenced to long terms OF penal
cervitude.'
The Bulletin adds that in addition two
civilians were murdered as reprisal
and the town OF Trim was burned. II
asserts that the object OF attacks on the
barracks was TO secure arms for ire
land to defend herself. "as 1t is obvious
the English military government is de-
tsrmined 10 break by force of arms the
national demand for independence"
The bulletin says the police casual
ties in these attacks were eight killed
and thirty-three wounded and that the
attacking parties lost seven men killed.
and forty-seven wounded. The article
then comments:
Each of the police casualties Is de-
scribed- by the British propaganda as
a cowardly outrage in spite OF the
fact that the police occupied strongly
fortified positions and were armed witt
rifles, bombs and machine guns, whereas
the raiders fought without protection
armed mainly with shotguns and nc
volvers and In some cases grenades"

1t has been necessary to place n

responsible"
This applies only to the people liv-
Ing in town. For the benefit OF those
living in the country, q closed box
with book opening, has been placed
In the hall, with sign: For returned
books Of the country people,"
1t Is to be hoped, those living In
town will not use this box, which
would In time prevent the rural dis
trcts from having the use of the
Library. A Library is something to
be much valued, especially In rural

The reading Is being directed here as
well as possibly can be-, care given to

Some fault Is being found with the
new books, chiefly because war is
still woven In the plots. This can
only be looked upon as the age In
which we live. 1t Is almost impos-
sible to buy book Of fiction, or any
subject without some phase Of the
war being taken up. This is certain-
~ no fault Of the Committee whose
business II IL to place .bo- ks on the
shelves. As the general conditions
Of the universe adjust themselves
FORMALLY, so will the literature.
Special effort is given to the juv-
emile reading. The earnest coopera-
tion of til. public is solicited in their
care OF the books, which they read,
many have been very careless in this.
Where could one find more delight

than Mac Doweli's "Bnck OF The

tions, are the very best made, yet the

at its annual meeting at Delmonico's =
tomorrow evening, will be whether the
club shall make bid for a five-yea

long tenure of the courts by the big

majority favor the plan and will SO
vote when the ballots are cast.
The executive committee of the

Association was primarily responsible
Tor the suggestion that the West Side
club conduct the blue ribbon event Of
American courts for the fve-ycar

Dempsey Barred
From Fighting i'm
State of Jersey

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. "Jaek
Dempsey, prize fighter. is not Good
enough for the state Of New jersey"
said John S. Smith. president of the
New Jersey Athletic Commission, in a
statement tonight, barring Dempsey
and his manager, Jack Kearns, from
participating in any boxing bouts held
in New Jersey.
Commissioner Smith declared that the
American Legion in several states had
branded Dempsey as "slacker" and
had passed resolutions to that effect,
and that the New Jersey Athletic Com
mission supported the Legion in their
action.
Commissioner Smith compared the
"war record" of Dempsey, referring to
him as a labor scout for a shipyard,
with that Of George Carpenter. who, he
said, "risked his life in performing haz-
ardous tasks during the war. and was
awarded the military medal, the highest
honor which can be conferred on a
Frenchman. Carpenter is a real pa
triot"
