Frank Brooke, Friend of
Lord Lieutenant French
of Ireland Killed
MURDERERS ESCAPE
Trio Get Away After Vainly Trying
TO Shoot Their Victims Companion
General Lucas Escapes

Dublin, July 31-Frank Brooke, one
of the most prominent men in Ireland
and the closet friend of Viscount
French. the Lord Lieutenant, was as
sassinated by three men at noon yes
terday in the directors room of the
Dublin 4 Southeastern Railway in
Westland row.
Mr. Brooke was talking with one
of the directors. Mr.. Cotton, when
the assassins entered the room and
fired eight shots pont-blank. Three of
the shots hit and killed Brooke and
three just missed Cotton. The assas-
sins escaped
The murder generally is attributed
to political motives. Robert Barton,
Sim Fein member of the House of
Commons, was recently sentenced TO
prison after conviction on a charge
that at Shillelagh last year he made
threats against Viscount French and
Brooke.
Brooke was chairman of the Dublin
& Southeastern Railway and had con-
nections with other business and cor
porate interests in Ireland. Born IN
1851, he joined the navy in 1863 and
retired in 1877 as a lieutenant.
Three soldiers and three Sim Fcin-
ers were wounded Thursday night
when a body Of the latter disarmed a
detail of military police in the heart
of Dublin. The coup was said to have
been the most audacous and spectacu-
lar that the Sim Fciners have accom-
plished in the matter cf disarm!ng the
military.

Washington. July 3l.-Demands
which in effect, would eliminate Po-
land as barrier state between Russia
and Germany will be presented by So
Wet Russia as conditions to peace with
Poland. according to confidential IN
formation to the Government.
the soviet peace demands also will
facilitate an alliance between Ger
many and Russia, according to the
Government reports.
These adviceS were looked on by Of
fic;als here as shown" that Germany
NAV have hand in the Bo!Shevik
counscls and that her interests will he
taken care Of as well as Russia's IN
the negotiations with the Poles.
According 10 Government adviceS.
these are two Of the principal condi-
tions 70 peace which will be demand
cd by Soviet Russia:
/. Free passage across Poland.
>. Restoration of Pcsen 10 Germany.
IL is feared by officials here that
the SOVIET demand for freedom of
transit across Poland will call for free
massage of beth individuals and freight
across the country without any re-
<.rictions. This would clTec,ually eli
minate Poland as "a barrier state. and
provide direct connection between
Germany and Russia. it was pointed
out.
The second demand would provide
direct mitigation of the Versailles
treaty in favor Of Germany. The pro-
vince of Pascn. valuable economical
ly and agr!culturally,, was obtained
frcm Poland by Germany al the Con-
gress Of Vienna and under the Yer
sailcs treaty was restored to Poland.
Both Of these demands would de-
feat the Allied purposes in the ma%ir&
of the German treaty. Military men
here were skeptical that the Allied
Powers could prevent the conditions
being forced on Poland.
Government observers say there -
no doubt that Germany and RnSs.a
are working together now.
