BIG RAID IN DUBLIN CITY

DUBLIN, Feb. lS.--It is officially an
nounced that the tracks Of railway
line in County Donegal on Wednesday
were diverted from the permanent way
to run into a lake between Cashelna gor
and Gweedore. The outrage was dis
covered. however, before mishap oc-
Cured.
To-day's official review says the re-
port OF outrages in the last week affords
grounds for satisfaction. The greatly re-
duced number of casualties to Crown
forces. il adds, leads 10 the opinion that
the recent lawless activity has reached
the maximum, and the arrests and seiz-
ures being made daily should result in
sensible improvement in the situation
shortly.
A large quantity OF arms and muni-
tions was discovered by the military and
police last night at the Asylum OF St.
John of God. near Stllorgan, County
Dublin. Two arrests were made.
The most extensive series of raids as
yet carried out In the city of Dublin be-
gan early this morning. One thousand
troops participated. being equipped with
motor lorries. machine guns and armored
cars.
Districts around Mount JOY Square
and the approaches TO that section of
the city were barricaded and machine
gun posts were established. a close
search for arms was Instituted.
The military isolated about two square
miles of the city for an exhaustive house
to house search. Popular rumor at
tributed the operation to a search for
Frank feeling. who escaped recently
from the Kilmainham Jail. but It prob
ably was only a repetition OF a similar
raid which last thirty-sx hours some
weeks ago. during which the Church
street district was invested in search
for arms and ammunition.

Ignace Jan Paderewski, late Premier
of Poland and of the pisnoforte. gave a
