nev has accomplished his purpose.
There is every indication that in the
Lord Mayors own dying words, as he
faced the end in Brixton Prison on the
enty-fourth day of his hunger
strike, he has served the cause of the
Republic of Ireland" better than he
could have hoped to do by living.
Ireland presents an amazing spec
.scle. The country was never as calm
as to-day. The reprisals dreaded as q
consequence of the Lord Mayors tragic
death have failed to materialize.
Only One Raid in Dublin
Dublin this morning presented as
near a normal aspect as possible for
country torn by so many conflicting
emotions. Even the military restrained
their campaign of repression to one
raid to-day, which was conducted in
such quiet manner that the gathering
crowd Of spectators had no chance to
make hostile demonstration.
Cork IS quiet. Whatever Sim
Fein's intention may be, any disturb
srce hostile to the British government
Is carefully kent in check. If the lead
srs gave the KY to to-day's action it
VAS one Of reverence.
Religious ceremonies in honor of the
dead Lord Mayor were continued in
hoth Dublin and Cork Many business
houses clcsod their doors as a mark
or respect.
fsofy'hing is held in allegiance pend
/ ing .ae arrival of the body of the late
lor. Mayor. which is expected early
lr'9ag morning
The present plans are to have the
body of the Irish martyr lie in state
aere during Friday while religious cere-
mons 4rc held, exceeding any that
Ireland :as seen since the funeral Of
Charlie ParneN thirty years ago.
All Ireland to Mourn
The Sim Fem leaders are negotiat-
Hs with the Liberty Hall" headquar-
'tEs Of the Irish trade unions to have
on day cessation Of work through
out Ireland in honor of MacSwiney.
The plans, as now formulated, then
ell for the transfer of the body by
train to Cork for interment AS had
o'sn anticipated. the authorities have
oroidden anything in the nature of
public funeral in that city. Even here
only hundred mourners will be al
owHd to accompany the body from
Nestiand Row station to the City Hall
J is now planned to have republican
syhipathizers in the towns along the
railway line between Dublin and Cork
align themselves for miles along the
route while the train bearing Mac
Swlney's body runs slowly past.
Talk to-day in the streets of Dublin
which may be taken as representing
the feeling throughout the country, is
mot OF bitter hostility toward England
but rather it was of thankfulness that
NscSwiney had been released from suf-
fering after his long fast
Just as was anticipated the time
ia long past when Ireland would fare
iato rebellion on receipt of the news
that the Lord Mayor was dead. Doubt
ess 1t is possible TO ovcremphasize
the religious attitude Of the people in
TINS crisis, but that is what one gath
ers from casual conversations.
Mayors Death Brings Success
OF the success Of MacSwiney's
martyrdom there can be no doubt The
telling here is that his death firmly
united all the republicans and their
Nmpathizers. 1t is not that reprisals
may not occur, Only the leaders on
Inc inner ring of the Sim Fein cx-
Memists can answer that question. But
me lead given to-day was away from
talk Of violence
Ireland is taking close watch of the
worlds interest in the Lord Mayors
Death. The evening newspapers print
png dispatches from Paris quoting
gVmment IN the French capital. The
,act that the flag on the City Hall in
New York was flown at half staff was
.eeeNed here with highest gratifca-
Uoh. American comment is awaited
Eagerly
me evening papers continue the
practice started by the morning edi-
IONS IONS OF bordering all news about the
Wa'n SWsa'n OF the Lord Mayor with heavy
PACK PACK lines. Posters printed by The
,,feeman's Journal, bearing the pic
