poned unit! Wednesday. the attention
OF political observers is now CEN
tered upon the nominations In
Southern Ireland for the coming

Early reports from contested dis
tricts indicate that the joint mani.
festo issued by Collins and De Valera
urging the Irish people to confne
nate candidates pledged either TO
Free State or republic and ignor-
ing so-called independents. is having
little effect In several districts in
dependents and Laborites distinctly

chosen.
Fifty New Candidates.
Notwithstanding the appeal, the
people showed a determination to
contest the elections ty nominating
fifty new candidates representing
business. labor and farming inter-
ests.
Nomination o. these independent
candidates will force contests in
many OF the most important con-
stituencies in Ireland when the cleo
tions are held. Even Collins and
Griffith will. have opposition. because
Independents were nominated in both
Cavan and Cork Counties. where the
two leaders como from. Speaker Nc
NELL. OF the Dali Eireann. will also
have an opponent in the national
university district.
Attack Near Hospital.

for protection were frantically sent
from Belfast to Lloyd George and
Winston Churchill. following an
early morning attack near Mater
Hospital. in which scores Of bullets
crashed through the windows, sweep
ing over the wards. and imbedding
themselves in the walls. The patients
were panic stricken. and as their cries
of fear reached the Jail adjacent
the entire block became a bediam OF
screams and yelis.
Following this incident. the police
conducted a roundup of suspicious
characters. and discovered numer-
Gus bombs concealed in the clothing
OF several women. Several men were
arrested and charged with carrying
revolvers.
Airmen Reach Front.
British airplanes have arrived on
the FermanaEh front, and were i'm
mediately sent out on a reconnais-
sance expedition over Lough Erne.
