Urge Stopping Reprisals.

Those journals which have adopt
ed a strong stand against reprisals
and hold the government largely re-
sponsible for these attacks by the
uniformed forces, take occasion to
renew their insistence that reprisals
must be stopped. The London Times,
for instance, while vehemently de-
nouncing the murders of the Off
GERS, expresses belief that the
strength Of the Irish executive would
be ten times greater in this emer-
gency, "but for an army perilously
undisciplined and police force
,avowedly beyond control which have
defiled by heinous acts Englands
,.IAAputation."
inisters responsible for the ad-
niinfstration in Ireland were called
to meet this morning to discuss the
situation. Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief secretary for Ireland, and VIM
ston Spencer Churchill, secretary of
state for war, who,is responsible for
the movements of the army in Ire
land, were in constant telephone
communication with Dublin Sunday.
The people of this city eagerly
awaited announcement of any new
steps to be taken in this new emer-
gsncy.

chapter to the tragedy that has been

lparently deliberate shooting OF IA

in the melee which resulted, at least
'10 persons were killed.

Whether Sundays tragic events
