larly in the form of ambushes, Man, of the insurgents wore no uniforms and the free state soldiers, like th British before the truce, are exposed to attack while traversing marrow streets to and from their barracks.
 The prevalence of these tactic! make it seem improbable to the gov ernment side that the situation throughout the city will speedily be. come much better.
 Trains Are stopped
 The provisional free state govern ment has ordered that no passenger trains shall enter Dublin. Freight traffic will be uninterrupted and pas sengers may leave the city but no in- Aux from the country will be permit ted
 This seems to point to apprehension that Rory O'Connor's forces might be supplemented by arrival of his follow T. CTS from the provinces in some parts of which the irregular army has q strong support. The same apprehen- sion seems evident in the manifesto issued today by Richard Mulcahy, Dali minister of defense in which he r'akes an eloquent appeal to the army -Splaining why it is asked to fight against it's old comrades
 Three Statements Issued
 Within o4 hours the government has issued three statements to the people setting forth the reasons for its decision to act against the insur- gents. There is no evidence in the al -l,ep really nece ssary since public senti- ment from all indications is virtually unanimous in support of the govern ment's action.
 The followers of De Valera attrib- ute the resumption of hostilties to Colonial Secretary Churchill's speech in the house of commons and to pres sure from London but the government insists that its action was contempiat- ed and postponed only until the re- suit of the elections was known and the refusal of the republicans to ac- cept it became manifest.
 Dublin, June 29.-(By Associated Press )-An impassioned appeal for all 'citizens of the Irish republic" to rally to it's support in this supreme test of the nations destiny is con- tained in a proclamation issued short ly after midnight by the Irish army insurgents who are holding the Four Courts against the free state forces The proclamation reads:
 Cause Is Assailed.
 "The fateful hour has come at the info oF our rightful cause is being treach- erously assaled by recreant Irishmen The crash of arms and the boom of artillery reverberate in the supreme test of the nations destiny"
 Gallant soldiers of the Irish re- public stand firm in its defense and worthily uphold their noblest tradi- tions. The sacred spirits of the illus trious dead are with us in this great struggle. Death before dishonor being an unchanging principle of our na tional faith as it was of theirs, they still inspire us to emulate their glor- ious efforts.
 Appeal To Citizens.
 we therefore appeal to all the citi zens who withstood unf1nchingly the oppression of the enemy during the past six years to rally to the support of the republic and recognize that the resistance now being offered is but a continuation of the struggle that was suspended by the truce with the British. We especially appeal to our for mer comrades in the Irish republic to return to that allegiance and thus guard the nations honor from the in- l famous stigma that her sons aided her foes in retaining the hateful domina- tion over her"
