Big Army
 To Be Sent Into Ireland
Redouble Strength of Brit ish Troops-L1oyd- George Decides to Use "Mailed Fist"

London, May 2S.-A Brit ish army stronger numerical ly and better trained and equipped than Kitchener's first hundred thousand" in
 the great war will be in Ire land before the new week is far along, according to plans decided upon by the cabinet and believed to be in the pro- cess of execution today. which ~ cali pu3 for tIn redoubling M lh of s the present strength of the British army in Erin, which is 56,O00 was the sen sation of the day here and was ex- pected to create an even bigger sen sation throughout Ireland when it be- comes known.
 Coming on the heels of the Ulster election which, though it gave De Valera and other Sim F'ein chieftains seats in the Ulster parliament was generally interpreted as a Sim Fein defeat, Premier Lloyd Georges deci- sion to use the mailed fist" in Ire land more aggress;vely than ever be- fore, is expected to mark a new epoch in the whole history of the Irish prob lem.
 The fear was almost universal that it will be a new epoch of turbulence, for the Irish Republicans have just shown by their organized attacks on the Black and Tan in Dublin and other parts Of Erin that they are de- termined to fight back with every ounce of counter aggression they can muster.
 Dispatches from Ireland were con- sequent1y awaited with eagerness to- day and the general atmosphere even in official quarters was that fraught- with grave forebodings.
