action in {Childer's execution Is
thought likely to have inspired
heavy but sabortive attacks on Ma
tional Army posts in Dublin
throughout the night.
The method OF execution was not
officially described, but it Is be-
lieved it was shooting.
London Is SurpEiseA
London, Nov. Acknowledgement
of the execution in Dublin of Frs
kline Childers, leading lieutenant OF
canon de Valera, came as a sur
prise to. England, where it was be-
lieyed the Free State authorities
would hesitate to impose this pen
atty.
The execution removes the most
important Republican in Ireland
next to Mr. De Valera, with whom
Childers, a! man of strong person
atty, is generally believed to have
had strong influence.
To Childers is ascribed perhaps,
the leading part in engineering the
present armed revolt against the
Free State government and he was
known as the military strategist
who planned the operations. 1t
was to Childers that Winston
Churchill, former colonial secre-
tary, recently referred as that
mischievous, murderous renegade,
that Englishman who is inspired
by an equal measure of hatred both
for this island and for the one in
which he has taken up his abode.
Situation Is Tense.
The opinion has been frequently
expressed in responsible quarters
that the. Free State authorities
could lay their hands on canon de
Valera, as they did on Childers, at
any time they desired but that they
did not wish to do SO in view of
the possible aftermath.
The Dublin correspondent of the
Press association notes that cannon
de Valera recently threatened that
blood would flow if Childers we're
executed. The situation is preg-
nant with ugly possibilities, he
adds.
History Of Case.
Erskine Childers, a lieutenant
commander in the Irish Republican
army and right-hand man Of Ea-
mon de Valera, was placed on trial
before military tribunal in Dub
lin on Nov. II, on the charge that
he had a pistol when arrested at
