DUBLIN. Nov. 27.-The British
government is preparing to put
many internment camps into opera
ton and membership in the Irish
republican army will be sufficient
reason for internment, according to
authoritative information obtained
tonight. This is taken to mean that
the entire membership Of the re4
publican army may be detained in
the camps, unless the situation in
Ireland improves soon.
The first of the camps to be made
ready is at Bally- y-Kinlar, in Dun.
drum Bay, County Down. 1t is ca
pable of accommodating 1000 pris-
oners. Other camps are being pre-.
pared in various parts of the
country.
Griffith Taken to Prison
Arthur Griffith, head of the Sinn
Fein, and f. j. Duggan, Sim Fem
Member of Parliament, have been
taken to Mountjoy prison. 1t has
not yet been decided whether they
will be among those selected for the
BallyKinlar internment camp. In
ternment in this camp, according to
the authorities, would be "a conces-
sion," as heretofore such prisoners
have been held merely as common
criminals"
A party Of the military returning
from an inquiry outside Fermoy was
ambushed three miles from that tow.
last evening and two of the soldiers
were killed and three wounded. The
lorry was held by tree which blocked
the road.
Some arms were captured by the men
who carried out the hold-up.
Further raids occurred in Dublin
this morning, the raiders being
conveyed in fast automobiles fitted
with a shelter of steel plating It
is reported that the roundup during
arrests. The thorough searching OF
premises in the downtown section in
dicated that the authorities were tax
ing all possible precautions.
There are no O0tuaal matches sched-
uled for tomorrow, such as that of
last Sunday, which, the officials assert,
served as cover for the operations
OF the murder gang" This gives soma
relief from apprehension of a repeti-
ton Of last Sundays incidents.
