CONSTANT FIRES
Continued from page I

The fire brigade, when responding to
An alarm on Sunday night, was fired
upon by parties of masked uniformed
men. Consequently the firemen fear to
venture forth, and when the Thomas
Ashe Sim Fein Club WAS set on fire
today they refused to leave their quar-
ters until the protection of two lorries
loaded with soldiers was afforded them.
The fires have usually becn started
with incondiary bombs and petrol IN
buildings the owners or occupants OF
which are believed to be Sim Feiners.
Not infrequently the fires have spread
to adjoining property.
Explosions and fuallades from rifles
and revolvers almost invariably furnish
terrifying overture and accompani-
ment to the confagration.
As result Of these fearful nightly
ordeals Cork has become cSty OF nerves.
Business is almost at standstill and
many persons are afraid to venture abroad,
even in daylight
Large numbers of the townsfolk have
left Cork for less troubled districts.
One effect of the prolonged strain, &C
cording to physicians, has been sharp
increase in the number Of patients ad-
mitted to insane asylums, and also an
increase in heart disease. 1t also has
resulted in the development Of a curious
form of goitre among adults, especially
women, and St. Vitus' Dance among
children, the physicians declare.
The newspaper publishers frankly say
that they are intimidated to such an ex-
tent that they now are printing tele-
graphic accounts containing the barest
and most perfunotory stories of the
troublous times.
The panic of the people is so intense
that they are reluctant to discuss the
happenings, and when they can be in
duced to talk they speak in whispers.

Southampton yesterday upon the arrival
