IN SEARCH FOR ARMS
AMONG DUBLIN HOMES

DUBLIN, May pa new feature OF
military administration in Dublin Is
the success of the authorities, in dis
covering concealed arms and amuni-
ton. Most active in this work has
been the F. Company of the Auxilia-
ries to the ,Constabulary, which, as
communication regarding it are, al
ways issued by general headquarters.
and not by the castle, must be sup
posed to be operating by military ord
ers.
After months of almost fruitless
searches important finds are being
made Search is not confined to the
poorer districts and the most RASH
ionable houses are. exhaustfyeiy ex.
amined. Suspicion Is not directed SO
much against the owners OF such nous.
es as against their. servants, While, ~
SOME cases it is. probable that neither
masters.nof servants were coghizant
of all that the premises contalnea. Z
Explpsixes in atabtes;
Dublin has numerous streets OF
houses each with stable at the back,
relies of the timeswhen the occupants
kept carriages IN. many cases these
stables are let to car drivers, or to
anybody willing to rent them, and sew.
eral of these stables have been found
to contain supplies of revolyers. rifles
and bombs Some houses in the su.
burbs have long gardens to the. end OF
whioh~the owners do not often pene|
trate,e and m some OF these, bombs
have been discovered y - 800 sF'lss
Despite all this activity the official
summary of outrages records each
week. no elimination in the number
or character of the attacks made In
the city, which have grown In excess
of all anticipations.
Apart from the bomb attacks on the
military lorries, which have wounded
more Outstanding civilians than mem
bers of the crown forces, the audaclty
of the Republican army is manifested
every day in exploits. each of them
perhaps trihing but in combination
showing careful organization and reck-
less holiness.
Mail Censored.
Postmen, telegraph messengers and
dispatch riders are held up, and their
messages captured. ~ 1t is quite com
mon for the average citizen to receive
his letters after some days delay
market censored by the Irish Repub-
lic," and this is often the case when
letters containing valuables have been
registered.
Nobody can drive an automobile
without a permit, but this interferes
little with the activities of those
against whom the regulation Is aimed.
When the republicans want motor
they go and take it. They give in
most cases receipt for It and when
it has served their purpose they re-
turn it, Even the military lorries have
not escaped seizure and use by the
Republican agent.
Food stores intended for the mill
tary have been captured and destroyed
and even the laundry vans have been
made prey and their contents burned
within, a couple of miles ct Dublin
castle. The same story comes from
many parts of the country and every
province can show numerous instances
of the same kind of activity as in Dub
lin. Imprisonment apparently has
been Intellectual.
Besides over 1000 persons in jail un:
der the sentences of the courts-martial
there are interned in the various inter
ment camps over $500 men, held on
suspicion that they would be likely to
commit offenses. There seems to be
always somebody to take the place OF
the man in Jail. 49, 10y. -..
