IRISH REPUBLICAN
 ARMY IS NOW SPLIT
Members Feel That Dali Eireann Has Been False to Its Oath

Dublin, March 22.-(By Associated Press)-1t was officially announced in the republican organ here toda, that the Irish republican army con- vention, the holding of which was re- gently forbidden by Arthur Griffith president of the Dail Eireann, will be held in Dublin Sunday, as arranged This announcement is taken here to mean that a definite split in the re- publican army has come.
 According to Commandant Roder- ick O'Connor, director of engineering of the headquarters staff of the Irish republican army, eighty per cent of the army's members believe the army has been ''let down" and that the Dali Eireann has been false to the re- publican oath by agreeing to accept the inclusion of Ireland within the British empire
 The newspapermen were invited this morning to the republican pub licity department, where they were received by Commandant O'Connor. Discussing the army convention. the commandant pointed out it had been originally summoned with the ap- proval of Richard Mulcahy, now min ister of defense in the Dali cabinet. The delegates, he said, had been se- lected by companies and numbered about 600.
 Want Old Constitution
 O'Connor said the intention was to restore to the army it's old volunteer constitution, under which it elected it's own executive. The constitution was abandoned when the Dali Eireann was established as the republican gov ernment and the army swore ale glance to it as such.
 Mulcahy declared O'Connor, had pledged himself in the Dali to main tain the army as republican organi- zation but the pledge had been violat- ed by the invitations given to the members of the army to form the nu- cleus of the army of the free state which O'Connor declared, subverted the republic. He said the army con- vention would be held Sunday, as there was no government in Ireland at present to which the army owed allegiance.
 resolution would be submitted to the convention, said O'Connor renew ing allegiance to the Irish republic and establishing an executive entitled to issue orders to the Irish republican army which would then repudiate control by the Dali.
 You may, if you like, call us mu- tineers,' added O'Connor "but the rank and file is always right. It is the leaders who have failed"

FORECLOSURE SUIT
 AGAINST CLOTHIERS
Alex Gruszynsk Brings $15,0OO Claim in Conjunction With
 S20,0O0 Action

A foreclosure suit against hte New Britain Clothing Co.,. Inc, has been
 brought by Alex Gruzsynski, proprie- tor of the Hotel York, The action Is brought to recover sl5,000 alleged
 due on a third mortgage, and Is
 brought in conjunction with a suit in-
 stituted last Tuesday by Gruszynski
 for $20,000.
 The terms of the mortgage which was given on June II, 1920, stated that semi-annual payments of s1,500 | would be made with interest on the principal of 6 per cent and in event
 that the failure to meet payment of
 either the principal or the interest ] within 30 days after the amount fell
 due, would result in the whole amount being due upon demand. According to Gruszynski, interest amounting to
 $450 and taxes amounting to s3,s5s.s0 due July 1st last year and also water rentals and other items pertaining to the business were not paid and in consequence, he made formal demand
 that the entire sum be paid on Jan uary 30, and instituted the suit for
 $2o,0 last Tuesday to protect his in- terests.
 The store was formerly owned by the late Dennis Reardon who sold the block and business to Peter Curran. He in turn sold the block and busi- ness to it's present owners and, it is said, holds a second mortgage on the place, which, however, contains no foreclosure clause. The financial con- diton of the company has been in doubt for some months past and, it is said, its liabilities amount to $70,- 900 which makes its assets negligible
 compared to this amount.
