IRISH REBELS
AGAIN UNITED
AND FIGHTING

nublin, Nov, 14.-(By Associ-
.,od Press. 1.-The current In
,.o.se Of activity of armed forces
onnosing the Irish government is
,ttributed to reunion OF the po-
utical and military wings of re-
nublicanism. This, among other
things, resulted in the reappoint-
msnt of Eamon DeValera as pres
dent Of the Irish republican"
with a council of state claiming
soIe legitimate authority in Ire
land.
There is a wide divergence be-
tween the accounts published by
tbe government of its successes
against the irregulars and those
nut out by DeValera's party. The
government claims to be winning
and gradually restoring order,
while DeValera's followers record
severe losses they are inflicting
and assert that the Free State is
already beaten.
These assertions are made part
" in propaganda sold upon the
streets and partly, through large
Inscriptions painted nightly all
over Dublin on lamp posts, bill
boards and bridges.
Every day government agents
90 about and smear paint soidly
over the inscriptions, but the next
morning they appear again.
The intensification OF activity
by the irregulars is supposed to be
partially aimed at the British po-
lltical crisis, with the design of
home to the British the
thought that the Irish question re-
mains unsteady despite the treaty.
When the new British parliament
assemblies and the constitution OF
The Free State is submitted for
fatification, it rs anticipated that
Ihe activities of the irregulars
will be further intensified.
