Several Ambushes
in Dublin Area

Dublin, Jan. 22-There has been the
liveliest week in Ireland in a long
time. The authorities in Dublin Cas-
tie had reported in the previous week
a fail 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 were defeated without
serious casualties. The most fatal
event which the ambush in County
Clare, where a police patrol, whose
route was known, was attacked by
80 men who killed a district police in
spector. a sergeant and four consta-
bles and wounded two others with
the first volley.
Several ambushes We're attempted
on large scale, the roads being
blocked by stone walls and trees.
They involved no casualties but their
preparation in the martial law area
indicated that the extremists were not
influenced by the fear of punishment
Sir Hamar Greenwood. chief secre-
tary for Ireland, accompanied by
Lady Greenwood. this morning re-
viewed the black and tan" auxiliary
police in the Beggar's Bush Barracks
here. The chief secretary was re-
ceived by General Fl. NJ. Tudor, COM
nander of the auxiliaries.
In a speech to the men, Sir Hamar
expressed deep regret at the murders
OF some of their gallant comrades and
assured them that the government
was determined to crush out the con-
spiracy whose object was to smash
the United Kingdom and the empire.
He said no government could tolerate
or condonet assassination. Sir Hamar
declared he felt the auxiliaries were
the custodians of civilized government
IN defeating the conspiracy which de-
pended not on argument but on rifle.
revolver and bomb. They were up
against some dirty fighters. he said.
In conclusion Sir Hamar declared:
Il am sure we are breaking this ter
ror which has nearly ruined Ireland
Before long there will be a new and
happier Ireland, thanks largely to the
forces Of the crown, who have but one
object in this country-that is, to re-
lieve Ireland from the great and aw-
full terror of assassination and to help
her destiny as part of the great
commonwealth of the empire

OPENS SUNDAY


of the Diet today Premier Hara and
Viscount Uchida. the foreign minis
ter, addressed the House of Peers
and later the House Of Representa-
tives.
Numerous notices given of In In
tention to interpellate the govern
ment aroused interest. especially an
announcement by Viscount kato,
former foreign minister, In his capa-
city as leader of the opposition, that
he would for the first time, formally
attack the cabinet from the floor Of
the Diet. This statement is regarded
in political circles a. strengthening
the system of party politics in Japan.
Minister of Finance Takahashi, In
his address before the Diet concern
ing the budget for the fiscal year Of
1921. said 1t would exceed 1862, 000,-
600 yen.
To meet the disturbed economic
situation Mr.. Takahashi recommend
ed regulation of the supply of GER
tain commodities as a measure of
self defense. Japan, he said, should
seek to develop her markets especial
ly in Europe and America, by seeking
overseas trade. In preparation for
the struggle ahead, he added, BUSH
ness leaders should combine and
form associations to increase cred
its and avoid useless competitions.
In other words. the minister declared.
the machinery of production and dis
tribution should be overhauled and
strengthened.
In conclusion Mr.. Takahashi urged
the people OF Japan to abandon ex-
trayagance in habit and to set their
hearts to the task of building ma
tienal prosperity,

Hamaguchi, of the Opposition party,
said that he neither was q peace ad-
vocate nor an advocate of war, be-
tween Japan and the United States,
but that the naval expenditures of the
two nations should be Of the same
proportions. as far as possible.
The United States. he added, ap-
peared to be planning the greatest
navy in the world. but the natural re-
sources of Japanvwould not permit of
competition with the United States.
Thus, he declared there would be a
wide gulf in the naval strength of the
two nations. Great Britain, said the
speaker, also was planning COM
plete naval program, and if japan
were thrown into the whirl of naval
competition the nation would suffer
a heavy burden.
An agreement for naval curtail-
ment, said NJ. Hamaguchi would BEN
