DUBLIN. August 26.-Guerrilla war
fare Of Irish irregulars and of the
criminal element posing as part OF
the republican army continues to re-
duce Ireland to a state OF terror.
The Dublin newspapers today are
filed with incidents indicating the
persistence of sporadic attacks in
Dublin streets and elsewhere, and
photographs showing cases of pillage
and the burning of buildings through
out the country, which the news
papers describe as "wanton."
An automobile carrying an officer
of the national army was bombed
on the chief Dublin thoroughfare last
nigh;. but no one WAS Wvunaeu. A
private in the national army was
fired at by three men in civilian
Clothes as he was traversing Parnell
square.
Many telephone and telegraph
wires have been cut. In remote coun-
try districts there are but few SOL
diers or police. and armed bands are
robbing. looting and committing 9TH
er eXceSSes.
Grief Over Collins Amazing.
The grief over the death Of Arthur
Griffith was appealing, but the sor-
row for the passing of Michael Col
Inns appears overwhelming. Probably
there has been nothing like it in
recent history; the windows in prac-
tiCally every business establishment
throughout Ireland have been shut
tered. and the blinds are drawn in all
homes.
Messages OF coincidence arrive
ceaselessly from the provinces and
from almost all foreign lands. A
seemingly unending line of people
waited to enter the city hail this
morning to view the body; black cur
tains hung from the doors, and be-
meath the colored dome, where the
statues of other great !rishmen long
since departed were shrouded with
black
The coffin reposed on catafalque
in railed-of circular space, sur
rounded with wreaths. many of which
bore inscriptions III the Irish Ian
guage. Hundreds of those who waited
for hours were turned away in the
morning. but they came back for the
afternoon ceremony.
Cable Station Recaptured.
Confirmation of the reported re-
covery by Free State troops of the
Waterville cable station. recently
seized by irreg gulars. was given by
the provisional government today.
This removes the obstacle to the
Commercial Cable Company's communi-
cation with the United States.
No details are available Of how the
recovery was effected. Officials said
ton at Valentia. but expressed the
opinion that since 1t was SO near
Waterville it would soon be re-
turned to governmental control.
The Herald today published a
letter stating that Eamonn De Valera
n M Nd 4
Of the moneys from the banks in
New York now restrained by the
Injunction granted by a New York
court from releasing any funds on de-
posit for the Irish republican cause.
No Money Withdrawn.
The letter stated that none of the
money collected for the Irish re-
public could be withdrawn without
the unanimous, consent Of the three
trustees. AS result Of this. the let
ter declared, the signatures Of De
Valera, Bishop Fogarty and Stephen
O'Mara, the trustees, were necessary
before any funds could be withdraw n.
The letter was written to the editor
Of the Herald and was signed by
Mrs. Mary McWhorter, president Of
the Celtic Cross Association; Adelia
Christy, national vice president of
that association in the United States;
Edward ]. Hearty. vice president of
the American Association for the
Recognition of the Irish Republic,
and Joseph Doran, state treasurer of
the latter association in Illinois.
The following message was pub
lished by the newspapers today from
Archbishop Curley of Baltimore, who
is visiting Athlone, hts birthplace:
From one end Of America to the
other the death of Michael Collins
will send a thrill of horror. He was
known and loved by all liberty loving
people and by all who admire cour-
age.
THE Irish people in America would
prefer te have seen him die by a
bullet of English soldiers to hearing
of him being slaughtered in County
Cork by brother Irishmen."
