Public Opinion in England
Is Undergoing Some
Change
MIDDLETON BURNING
CAUSES CENSURE
Setting Fire to Houses Was
Deliberate Act By
the Troops

London, Jan. 3.--Public opinion re
ceived shock to-day when the details
OF the burning of the Irish town OF
Middleton on Saturday were made pub
flic This shock was particularly felt in
/ quarters where it had been supposed
that martial law in southwestern Ire.
land would put an end to such repris.
ais. Nowhere is there outspoken ap.
| proval of the punishment melted out to
the Irish village by Major General Sir
Edward Strickland and there evident
ly is some reluctance to endorse this
method of keeping order.
In official statements it Is declared
that seven dwellings in Middleton were
destroyed as a result of an ambush of
police near that town last Wednesday.
Declaration is made that the authori-
ties had decided that the people living
in certain houses in the vicinity of the
outrage must have known of the plot
to ambush the police, and that after
the inmates of the houses selected for
destruction had been warned to leave,
the buildings were set on fire The oc-
cupants were permitted to remove their
valuables but had to leave their furni-
ture behind them.
While declining to question the act
OF burning the houses, on the ground
that it was a drastic measure, the Lon
don Times questions the adequacy of
the explanation that the inhabitants OF
the burned dwellings were bound 10
have known of the ambush.
"Ofiical reprisal." the newspaper CON
tinues, may be rough form of JUS
tice, but despite the roughness, the ele
ment of justice should be always be-
yond question"
The Daily Express, granting that the
action was legal and presumably nee
essary, adds: But it is horrible, as it
reveals an absolute state of war in
Ireland, and IT is impossible to with.
hold sympathy from Irishmen who find
themselves between the hammer Of
Sim Fein murders and the anvil OF the
British troops"
The radical press on the other hand,
is Mortified, the Daily News saying:
"The reports will be read with amaze
ment and despair. 1t is savage out |
rage upon human decency and the mat
ter cannot be left where it is."
The Daily Herald, organ of labor,
calls il Savage and diabolic violence"
and calls upon labor to stop "this war
upon a nation"

VISITORS IN
IRELAND SHOULD
BE CTRCUMSPECT
"Sing Out Your Business" to Hall Port
er at the Hotel Where
You Stop.

Dublin, Jan. 3.--Ireland to-day is q
land where it is advisable for the
newly arrived, unacquainted traveller
to tell the hall porter at his hotel who
he is, his nationality, his business in
town and how long he expects to stay
then be most circumspect in whatever
he does or says.
People with uncertain backgrounds
or ON indefinite missions get courteous
receptions, but it is futile for them To
expect their welcomes to be tinctured
with anything approaching familiarity
normally one of the dominant Irish
characteristics. Therefore the wisdom
of Singing out your business" as one
American traveller expressed it, to your
hall porter
Uninitiated Americans perhaps would
not understand the important position
occupied by this functionary. He is a
veritable encyclopedia of information
and who's who" of everything impor
tant concerning the hotel, it's manage
ment and staff and its guests.
1t is this individual that raiders al
most invariably consult when they
make their unconventional visits to
hostelries in search of wanted persons
His statement that person asked for
was an American or Frenchman and
that he came to town for some legiti-
mate purpose has been known to save
the guest an abrupt waking and quiz,
possibly at the point of revolver.
Instances recently published in
newspapers Of persons shot by mis-
take" or, as has been claimed in at
least one case, because the victim has
been seen conversing with q marked
man" has infused the whole atmosphere
of social atmosphere in Ireland with
suspicion and diffidence. Travellers
learn sooner or later that no one wants
TO know anyone else in Ireland to-day
unless some form of credentials is
or mutual friend is will
ing to vouch for the newcomers ac-
and trustworthness.
This state of affairs has transformed
old time happy go-lucky Ireland into
where conversations in public
places are carried on in undertones,
and where no one is his brothers keep |
