we're mental strain upon the officials
and their families. In fact, the Sim
Feiners declare that Ian MACPHERSON
was near a physical breakdown and
assert that his resignation was largely
due to the campaign of terroism.
When Mac Pherson left Ireland for
the last time, he was driven TO the
boat at Kingston in an armored car.
The car drove out on the pier to the
end of the gang-plank and just before
the plank was hauled in, MacPher-
son hurried aboard the boat.
"The Sim Feiners have spies watch
ing the castle every minute of the day
and night" said Sir John Taylor. AT
this very moment their spies are sta
toned outside the castle gate-some-
times they lounge about the street op-
posite and sometimes they are cCn-
ceaIed in the buildings facing the en-
trance. 1t is very difficult to catch
them. but we know they are there.
They have a marvelously organized
secret service system. The movements
of any government officials TO and
from the castle are known to them
within few minutes.
Even my wife and daughter are
shadowed when they go on a shopping
tour. On street occasion they were
followed constantly-the shadowers
changing several times during the al
ternoon. They were so frightened
they seldom go out now"
Sir John himself has been warned
that he would be shot within hun
dred yards of the castle on sight.

biggest and most enthusiastic good
roads meetings ever held in Viewer

Of the Viewer Mississippi River
Scenic Highway association, had
called the meeting for the purpose
OF discussing various roads matters

Wever always has been 100 PEI

having the oldest and strongest or

General Manager Pierson and
Director Hitler praised Viewer for h"r
strong gupport and her loyalty which
they said were not only encOuragilg 2
to the national officers. but could not
help but command recognition. Presi-
dent Lachmann stated that when Il
was learned that Mr.. Pierson in his

Correspondent
DUBLIN, (By Mail9--A situation
unparalleled in the checkered history
of Ireland exists here today-where
the police instead of protecting the
people have TO be protected from the
people and the officials charged with
the government OF the country are
practically prisoners in the govern
ment buildings.
Since the Inauguration by the ex-
tremist wing of Sim Fein OF the cam
paign of terrorism the government has
been forced 10 eyacuate over three
hundred outlying police stations and
concentrate their forces in large for.
tilted barracks for defense. This
leaves wide areas in the south and
west of Ireland without police pro
lection"
At the same time number of the
higher officials at Dublin castle are
virtually prisoners within the castle
for their own protection. Following
the murder of two of the castle officf-
als--Alan Bell and Commissioners Red
mond--the other higher officials have
been forced TO take refuge within the
castle enclosure. Several have re-
ceiyed anonymous warnings that they
would be shot If they appeared in pub
lie.
Among the officials thus "interned'
for their own protection is Sir John
Taylor, undersecretary for Ireland For
more than four months Taylor has not
set foot outside the narrow confines
of the castle yard, except on few
occasions when he visited the vicere-
gal lodge on urgent business. On
these occasions he entered an armor-
e6 car within the yard and was COM
pletely hidden from view in the inter-
ior of the car.
Even within the yard the officials
do not feel entirely safe because there
Is always the chance of a sniper's bull
let from the buildings surrounding the
castle.

MELTING POT is
SLOW PROCESS
Some Of the Foreigners Who Come 10
Our Land Dislike to Leave Off
Their Old Costumes For
Our New Ones.

According to several different or.
ganizations now actively engaged ID
the work of transforming the alien
population into real Americans, the
melting pot works slowly and some
times merely scorches. rather thaD
transforms its material, remarks the
New York Evening Sun. 1t has been
pointed out many times that the flTs'
step of the process seems to be 70
rob the foreigner OF all his romance
and picturesqueness and leave him .
rather untidy, awkward figure IN 3
strange land.
Occasionally there are found per,
sonalities too strong to be dismayeA
women usually. but once in
while a man whose soul is aboW
derby dats and susDenders. Such
one is compelled to forsake much OF
his gorgeousness of apparel, but the
spirit finds its way to flight with the
best material at hand.
The latest example is that OF
gypsy, who asserted after modern
American street fight with some OF
his tribe the other day that gold com
buttons Of his clothes were missing
after the encounter.
Not often do we see a rival OF
Solomon arrayed as was this gypsy,
but there are some to lend toucn
of color to an otherwise drab ana
mercenary existence since Hi Henr!

similar attire.
In the south of Europe the women
have the fashion of wearing theh

in America some of them wear the
fortunes OF their fathers or husbanns
in similar fashion in the way OF
jewels, but men, seem more conserSa,
