TO SEND TROOPS
INTO IRELAND
Proposal Is Being Resented BY IRISH
People Because 1t Is Too Much
Like Blockhouse System.

Dublin, May l5.--The plan OF Cen
eral Sir Nevill Macready, commander
of the government forces in Ireland,
looking to closer cooperation between
the police and the military in an effort
to suppress the disorders in Ireland, in
volving the establishment OF military
posts in isolated districts of the po-
lice barracks, had to be abandoned be
cause of attacks upon them, it is stated
her on apparently good authority.
The opinion of the British authori-
ties seems to be that the disorders IN
Ireland, which they regard as acts OF
rebellion, call for the use OF soldiers
instead of the police. Previously the
police have been largely occupied with
work which is essentially of military
nature. and the criticism from the
popular side is that the police are not
now really a civil force as they ought
TO be-
In line with this view the military
are already doing the patrol work,
which is a dangerous job and hitherto
had ben left for the most part to the
police. The military are endeavoring
TO check the excuses Of the land agita
ton in the west of Ireland. Cavalry
has been employed to prevent cattle
driving and some of the western towns
which have been the centers Of this
trouble, have cavalry contingents quar-
tered in them.
The proposal TO establish military
posts is resented by many Of the Irish
people, who regard it as the setting up
of the blockhouse system, which was
first tried in South Africa in the
Boer war.
Rumors of differences of opinion be.
tween the leading men in the govern
ment of Ireland find no confirmation III
official circles. Viscount French, the
lord lieutenant; Sir Hamar Greenwood,
the chief secretary for Ireland, and
General Macready are to all appear
ances on the best Of terms and in agree
ment as regards the delimitation OF
their spheres of action.
