I wish I had s1oo a month for myself. do my own housework, clean the grates, do the cooking and even the washing. I did take care of that wo- man to help Rod out.

Richard Mu1cahy. minister of de-
 fence in the Irish Provisional govern
 ment and former chief of staff of the
 Irish Republican army, will succeed
 Collins as commander in chief. Ask Troops to Stand Firm.
 Atalcahy has issued an order to the
 Free State troops exhorting them to stand firm. The order reads: Soldiers of the Free State. stand calmly at your posts. Do not let any
 cruel act of reprisal blemish your
 honor. You are the interiors of the
 bright strength and bravery of Mich ael Collins and your sorrow will strengthen to serve Ireland" The cabinet was summoned to con slider the situation. At the same time official announcemet was made that the death of Collins necessitates a meeting of the new Dafl Eireann (parliament) on Saturday if possible. Killing of Collins-the idol of the Free State and. with Arthur Griffith, the chief supporter of the Anglo-Irish treaty and the Irish constitution has intensified the popular bitterness against De Valera and Erskine Child CTS, his chief aide. Demands were made that both be arrested at once. It was reported that De Valera was considering an appeal to the irregu- l lars to abandon their warfare against the Free State.
 Despite the warning of Mulcahy against repriSalS it is improbable that the Free State army officers would be able to restrain their men If the op- portunity came to retaliate, so great was the admiration of the troops for | 'fMicky' Collins, as he was familiarIy | known.
 Collins evidently was on his way l towards Dublin from the southwest ern front when he was shot to death l in his motor car by men hidden along I side the road. Collins secretary had | received a message from Collins on | Tuesady night arranging a meeting l on Thursday with Marlen E.

All of Dublin is in mourning today The previous attempt to assassfnaI, | Collins last Friday led his friends tC 1 advise him to take greater precau. | tions, but the natural boldness Of the | leader overrode all fears for his per | sonal safety.
