Ireland Free For Six Mon Seethes With Murder And Arson
Religious War Rages in Ulster as
 Southern Ireland Still Fights On
Emerald Isle Awaits Miracle
 of Peace From Leaders

DUBLIN, June 1O-Blood flows more freely than ever in Ireland nearly half year after the creation of the Irish Free State.
 A bitter religious war rages in Ulster, while South Ireland sits on the volcano edge of civil war. And Bel, fast is city of murder, bombing and incendiarism.
 Win peace ever come2 Ireland awaits a miracle while factional lead ers-Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Eamonn de Valera, Sir James Craig and David Lloyd George-strive for a settlement
 Politics and religion were stirred into an explosive mixture in Ulster when Dali Eireann, representing 26 counties of South Ireland, approved the treaty creating these counties into the Irish Free State, an independent government within the British Elm pire, similar to Canada and Australia.

They give these figures for four weeks of last April: 24 Catholics killed, 41 wounded; II Protestants killed, 34 wounded; 75 houses burned. houses bombed.
 Civil War In South
 No such loss of life has occurred in South Ireland. But the differences between De Valera, advocate of a re- public. and Gs1ffith and Collins, advo- cates of the~free State, caused cleav- age not only in Dail Eireann, but also in the Sim Fein- organization and in the Irish Republican Army.
 Republican and Free State troops have been at swords points, the Dub lin courts were seized by the former, a newspaper office was wrecked. and banks were raided in 12 southern cities. Policemen and citizens have been killed, and in April Brig. Gen. Adamson was killed by armed men after putting his hands up as ordered. And in the same month Michael Col
