REVIVED IN ERIN
Defense of the Realm Act
Brought Into Force Against
Sim Fein Operations.

DUBLIN. March THE defense
OF the Realm Act adopted For pur-
poses of the war, IS being freely en-
ployed in the governments struggle
with the Sim Fein. II was under
the powers delegated to the govern
ment by this act that the Freeman'S
Journal was suppressed. in accor-
dance with this law also many cases
Of alleged SeditiOn which ordinarily
would be tried in civil courts now
are heard by courts martial De
pOrtatiOnS Of suspected persons are
made under this act and il is
charged that leading Irishmen are
kept i'm prison in England without
the necessity Of bringing against
them any specific complaint.
Ordinary Prosecutions Held.
The government, however. does
not confine itself TO the exercise of
its war powers under the Defence
of the Realm Act but many prose
cutions take place i'm the ordinary
way before police magistrates This
is quite unusual in Dublin wheTe
the police magistrates are regularly
appointed are salaried officials but
are rare in the provinces where the
magistrates are unpaid.
Apart from the instances Of the
governments conflict with the Sim
Fem. the life Of the country pro-
ceeds as usual Regular courts Of
law sit everywhere and Sim Fem
ers appear before the civil courts
as litigants and as lawyers; but they
refuse TO recognize the jurisdiction
Of the same judges when sitting 10

An experiment OF holding Sim
Fein Courts under the authority of
the Irish republic has been tried but
on a small scale. It is only possible
where a dispute can be settled by
arbitration. since there is not rs I'm
