NEW TERROR ADDED

DUBLIN October 23.-New terror
has been added to life in Ireland by
criminals posing as government
agents. "black and tans" Raids by
armed 70 .ces are now familiar to
everybody and those engaged in them
are accused of both violence and
pillage. THIS has encouraged the
ordinary criminals and according to
a report issm,d by Dublin Castle, raids
have been made by men. acting with
out any authority whatever, who are
merely out bor plumber
1t is said that the government is
succeeding in rounding up wanted
men who have been eyading arrest
The position of fugitiveS has been
made so difficult for them in thu,
country that they are being driven
This is tseiy to lead 10 numerous
raids here N the hope of discovering the
whereabouts OF the fugitives.
C.aSe to Tnke Risks.
The authorities in Dublin making
raids have ceased to take risks. At
tacAs on motor lorries waiting in the
stree{ while the men were raidins
HcdSSF leu az tHe QGdtn OF some Oh
ficers. To-day a new feature was
added to the method of procedure
that of CLEARING an entire street
Though OConnell street is the
principal thbroughfare of the city and
the center of the street car service,
soldiers with turreted and armored
cars took possession of the street.
Traffic was dislocated. both pedes-
TRANS and vehicles being kept out
side the Gordon. Every body who came
near was stopped. Several enter
p-ising newspaper photographers
were searched and their plates con-
fiscatRd
The first newspaper prosecution
under the new control act was
brought against the FTeeman's Jour
nal. two OF whose directors are to be
tried by eourt-martial today on the
charge of distributing news alleged
10 be false and likely to cause dis
affection. 1t is believed that this is
the first time in history that newspa-
pa offenders have been tried by mill
taly officers in time of peace.

poIice A further statement was tnat
the rad on the mails in the same dis
trict u as also the work of black and
ranS.
The Elct is that in many cases the
Sim Feiners and the government are
constantly charging each other with
particular outrages- Under the re-
cent act, it is a criminal act not
merely for a newspaper to publish.
but for a correspondent to transmit
news likely to cause disaffection. AS
this character attaches to much of
the Irish lews at present, most of
the correspondents commit criminal
odensAss daily.
The court -Anartialing Of the Free
mans Journal men is evidently in
tended as a warning to newspapers
generally. The men prosecuted are
the tHto chief perpetrators of the
paper.

|ENGLISH FREIGHT DROPS
ABOUT so PER CENT
Increase in Worlds Shipping Ton
mage Is Blamed by Experts
for Situation.

LONDON. October 23-There has
been big drop in frcights during
the past few months, shipping au-
thority has informed the Liverpool
Post. Taking the market all round
he said. freights have fallen by about
30 per cent since the beginning of
the year. This situation is attributed
TO the increase in the worlds ship
ping tonnage and the general scarcity
of goods for export Ships are leav-
ing London and other United King
dom ports with part cargoes.
Before the war the United King
dom was the carrier for half the goods
of the world" said the shipping man
our share is now about one-third
The United States. which before the
war owned a nominal amount of ton
mage. is now our chief competitor and
swallows much freight that would
otherwise be carried in British holds
Operating costs are tremendously
high. the coal item being one of
the biggest factors
