Street When Making Raid
Military Authorities, Fearing At
tack From Rear, Take
No Chances

DUBLIN, Nov. 26. - Searches for
evidence against the promoters of Sim
Fem outrages which arc conducted
by the police or military authorities
are among the notable features of life
in Dublin. They usually take place
in the daytime or In the early morn
ing hours.
In making them the authorities had
committed some blunde~s. The mill
tary motor trucks used to drive up in
front of a suspected house and stop
there while the scarchers entered the
building. The trucks were left in
charge Of only few men. This proved
tempting to Sim tein attacks, which
frequently surprised those on guard.
No risk is taken now. The whole
street, no matter what its importance,
is cleared Of all traffic for distance on
both sides Of the suspected house, and
the searchers can thus do their work
without apprehension Of being taken in
the rear.
The fact that house is raidcd
implies no reflection on its owner.
Some of the most respected Dublin
Unionists have had their premises cx-
haustively searched. There have been
several searches in Sackville Street,
Dublin's principal thoroughfarc and the
starting point or junction Of all it's
extensive strectcar system. A raid
there meant that the streetcars were
held up all along the line and thus
citizens half mile or more away
would learn that q raid was in prog
ress. While the search was going on
armored cars would dash about and
prevent entrance to the area within
the line set By the authorities.
The results indicate that the gov
ernment at last is obtaining informa-
tion.

the government agents are not the only
ones who are collecting weapons under
