DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-This has been the
liveliest week in Ireland in a long
time. The authorities in Dublin Castle
had reported in the previous week "A
lull in disorders, but this was more
apparent than real, as the figures for
the week before last included trifiing
attacks on the mails.
This week was marked by serious
ambushes. On one day eight barracks
in Tipperary were attacked by large
bands, which We're defeated without
serious casualties. The most fatal
event was the am bush in county Clare,
where the police patrol, whose route
was known, was attacked by fifty men,
who killed a district police inspector
a sergeant and four constables and
wounded two others on the first volley
Several ambushes were attempted on
a large scale, the roads being blocked
by stone walls and trees. They in
volved no casualties, but their prepara-

luckless position---the gears of his Amer

the split in the Irish-AmerNRn organ

IRISH REPUBLIC PICKS

Colby of Appointnaent.

WASHINGTON. Jan. z2.--The "Provis-
ional Irish Republic has selected Frank
=. walsh formerly chairman of the
War Labor Board. as its legal coun-
sellor in the United States, according to
a letter written by Mr.. Walsh TO Secre-
iary of state Colby and made public to-
day
In describing the purpose of the ap-
pointment Mr.. Walsh said in his letter:
II shall represent the Government of
Ireland in all matters in which II may
be concerned before the departments OF
the United States Government. commit
tees of Congress, courts Of law, any
council or association Of nations which
may hereafter be established and any
other body or agency before which that

lowers on the licensing question and
would entire supersede the Liquor
control Board, which. although it had
IA unofficial representative in Parlia-
ment, acted directly on the instructions OF
he Cabinet Fierce opposition, however,
was raised to the new bill until it was
Withdrawn by the Government. 1t is
very strongly felt that with the expert
nee gained during and since the war,
with a free hand. the board should be
able TO elaborate the policy for peace
time which would be satisfactory TO the
consuming public and which would re-
tain such degree of regulation as to Sc
cure a permanent social Improvement.
It must be remembered that In Eng
land as in many other countries the
sale Of ntoxlcants is a national financial
question. The exchequer benefits an
nually tor the extent of f215. 100000 in
one way or another from the sale of in
toXicating liquor The control of the
trade is, therefore, very desirable from
the Government point of view, as well
as from that Of the public. The results
obtained by the board during the last
five years have shown the effectiveness
OF this control. Further, the board
manages for the Government a million
pounds worth of licensed houses in the
Carlisle district and pays the Govern
ment annually a dividend varying from
IA to 10 per cent.
It would seem. therefore, that State
purchase is the obvious solution of the
question. But this at the present time,
owing TO the financial condition of the
country. Is impossible. 1t is probable.
however. that the Governments next
bill will set up under Parliament another
council with powers equivalent to those
Of the Central Liquor Control Board
This can only be done when the general
public has been sufficiently persuaded
TO place confidence in the procedure of
such q council. Unfortunately, the pub
lie. while it largely realizes the benefit
Of the Liquor Control Board. refuses to
accept its continued reign, since it was
instituted as a war time measure.
The women Of Great Britain will have
the casting vote in this as in other So
cial questions, and it has been noticed
that Lady Astor has been taking very
strong lead in educating the women of
England to take up their share of re-
aponsibility in all future liquor legis-
lation.

bombing increases In Dublin

Bombing of police and auxiliarles is
increasing in Dublin, though thus far
IL has proved ineffective. many OF the
bombs falling to explode and some OF
them exploding in the lorries, causing
no serious damage.
Military lorries used in Dublin have
now been armorplated and their tops arc

followed by that precaution.

London, Jan. IL.
Something in the nature of a perna-
nent settlement of the liquor question
before the British Isles will be one of
the principal aims of Parliament when
It convenes after Easter. The issue will
not be taken up at the session opening
February IS, because the Government S
recent Control bill has been definitely
withdrawn and series of consultations
is planned before a new bill is drafted.
But the question which has been pro-
longed under certain dissatisfactions
since the drmistice. urgently requires at
tention and settlement that cannot be
disturbed by every dry threat.
The predominant sentiment is for q
settlement which embraces experiences
learned during the war, according to
members of the present Liquor Control
Board This, in short means limitation
in selling. War restrictions taught Brit
ain that decreased selling hours promot-
ed public welfare in general and while
II ere is very little or no tendency now
toward prohibition as America knows it,
the people as a whole agree with the
Government that profit should be taken
from the lessons of the war
At the outbreak of the war. in Au-
gust, 1914, the control of the liquor
trade was vested. first of all, in the
hands of the naval and military au-
thorities and later with the local JUS
tices of the peace. In 1915 the Cent? Il
Liquor Control Board was brought into
existence under the presidency OF Lord
D'Abernon. the present Ambassador %
Berlin. better known to the world as
Sir Edgar Vincent, the eminent finan-
cier. 90 control not only the sale Of i'm
toxicating liquors but also their man
ufacture and distribution.

tary for Ireland, accompanied by Lady
Greenwood, this morning reviewed the

Beggar's Bush barracks. The Chief
Secretary was received by Gen. H. NJ.

In the course of a speech to the men
Sir Hamar expressed deep regret at the
murders of some of their gallant COM
rades and assured them that the Gov
ernment was determined to crush Que
the conspiracy, whose object was to
smash the United Kingdom and the en-
pre. He said no Government could
tolerate or condone assassinati ton. Sir
Hamar declared he felt the auxiliaries
were the custodans of civilized gov

which depended, not on argument but
on rifle. revolver and bomb. They were
up against some dirty fighters. he said
In conclusion. Sir Hamar declared ::
