Cafe Brulo,' Comic Weekly,
Barred From Campus
Publication

NEW ORLEANS, June 16.-The
flapper has dashed in again where
angels fear to tread-this time into
the purVeys of humor! And has
started regular riot.
One-half the riot was caused by the
rush to get the latest number OF
Cafe Brulo," the comic monthly put
out by students of Tulane University;
the other half was caused by frantic
efforts of college and public school
officials, preachers and parents TO
keep Cafe Brulo" out of the young
peoples hands.
Most of the flapper fun in Cafe
Brulo"-Which gets its name from a
drink famous in New Orleans before
prohibition-was contributed by girl
students OF Newcomb College. But
the faculty OF Newcomb has barred
the publication from the college
campus. The faculty of the largest
girls high school in New Orleans has
done likewise.
Evil to him who evil thinks" is
the defense of Helen Dymond man
aging editor of "Cafe Brulo," and a
student of Newcomb, who is the
daughter of an aristocratic southern
family.
Here are samples OF the flapper fun
from Cafe Brulo" that has started
the frenzy and made the last mum.

tions laid against it., This one

So says Nina Wilcox Putnam, the

succeeds in keeping her income up

"Once ! weighed SO pounds" Miss

Then the doctor said the tubercu-
lar condition had disappeared. But it

and so pounds to the good.
Then l embarked upon the great

But after all these the scales still

Then | was driven to diet'nF.
With the help of my doctor, l evolved
a system of dos and don'ts that

so pounds in seven months.

This jest seems to have something
to do with osculation and the author
endeavors to point a moral:
He: Is your father home?
She: Yes, in the next room.
He: Are you a ventriloquist?
She: Silly, no. Oh Um-mm-m-!
MORAL: If they can't scream while
they're being kissed, they won't when

Artificial aids to beauty have a de-

judging from this:

with red
Whose nose kept aye its virgin shine,
Whose lips were never touched By

Former English Spy Tells How Crown
Forces Obtained Secret Information
About BRAINS Of Irish Rebellion

Copyright, 1922, by I. N. S.
London, May 25-The military war
which Great Britain conducted
against Ireland prior to the truce in
1921 is a matter of history.
The war of brains''-the efforts of
the British Secret Service to suppress
the Irish rebellion-is still a matter
of untold history.
The International News Service
herewith presents a few pages of I'M
told history Of the "war of brains
set forth by a former staff officer Of
the British Intelligence Service in
Ireland. For obvious reasons the
identity of the writer cannot be dis
closed.
In the following article the writer
tells of the dramatic midnight tnqui-
sitions in Dublin Castle. when, I'M
seen, British officers submitted Irish
captives to nerve-racking third de-
gree examination.

flowed in; time was too short to ex-
anime their credentials properly or
to give them more than the merest
smattering of training. Moreover,
Ireland as a whole, and Dublin in
particular. has a comparatively small
population. so small that a stranger
becomes conspicuous Immediately
upon his landing in the country. 1t
was not difficulty for the Irish Re
publican army to find out something
about every stranger who landed,
enough at least to determine whether
he came on some definite business
or not. If the latter he was worth
watching further.
However, while his comings and
goings were duly noted by men who
perhaps took no active part with the
Irish Republican army, but who were
not above passing on a bit of gossip
to a pal, the newly-imported agent
pursued his avocation with enthusi-
asm and adherence to the best de-
tective yarn principles. Night was his
time and dark streets were his favor
tie hunting grounds, wherein he
prowled. with automatics in all his
pocekts, a mask on his face and rub
Der soles on his boots. OF course, he
discovered nothing, or if he did pick
up any SIlT6u OF useful
it was by accident. More often he
gave himself away completely and
retired crestfallen, or engaged in a
duel with colleague similarly
equipped, each mistaking the other
for a gunman Of the Irish Republican
army. Periodically the latter body in
the endeavor to rid itself of the
nuisance, quietly murdered such
agents as it knew. The Sunday muir
ders of November 81, 1920, were an
nn1U rita llU SIInaaSSfI1 TO
deal a crushing blow at the intelli-
gence and investigation sections.
At last. however. the chaos was re-
duced to order. and an intelligence
service, as efficient as the extremely
difficult conditions allowed, was
evolved. The titu1ar heads Of the
Irish Republican army were known,
and it was also guessed whence the
men - Michael Collins and Richard
Mulcahy, the Adiutant-General and
Chief Of Staff, respectively, of the
Irish Republican army-were deter
mined to be the brains of the organi-
cation. From the moment of this
discovery it was against these two
men that the secret warfare was
principally directed.
The main strategy of this warfare
was briefly as follows: Information
was sought first of all as to the agents
and means of communication en-
ployed by the directing brains to
transmit their orders to their recip-
tents. Based upon any such infor-
nation obtained. raids were made
upon likely spots. with the object of
capturing the messengers themselves
and the documents they carried.
Further information CLEANED from
these was used as the basis of further
raids, with the final object of gaining
such complete knowledge as would
make it possible for the authorities
to lay their. hands upon the wanted
nen themselves. There were, OF

warfare waged between the British
forces and the Irish Republican army
in Ireland during 1920 and the first
half of 1921 a secret and more subtle
contest was being waged between the
brains of the rival parties. This con-
test did not lack thrilling incidents,
but for obvious reasons it was impos-
sfble to make these public at the
time. There is. however. no reason
why a short sketch of them should
not be given now.
The problem confronting the Brit
ish authorities was that of breaking
cations which were defying them in
Ireland. The ramif1cations of the
Irish Republican Brotherhood
stretched too far for rapid extermi-
nation. Sim Fem was in effect a
political creed held by a majority of
the population. There remained the
Irish Republican army, which prac-
tically. If not theoretically, had alb
sor5ed the various armed and organ
lied bodies of the country. The Irish
only be defeated in the field but it's
constitution must be attacked, its
plans frustrated and it's cohesion de-
stroyed. In other words the blow
must be directed at the head. at the
centre from which its operations were
directed.
British Authority Divided.
But who was the head, and from
whence OlO the Cn1SIS OIL the scatter
ed brigades derive their instructions /?
This was the opening question of the
problem and one which from it's very
nature suggested the means OF so1u-
ton of the whole. The British au-
thority was divided into three ad-
ministrations-the civil, the military
and the police, which latter were sub
divided into the Royal Irish Constab-
ulary, functioning throughout the
country, and the Dublin metropolitan,

these was equipped with its own 'in-
telligence branch" but when serious
trouble actually began early in 1920
it was soon discovered that none OF
nation of value. Something was
known of the more conspicuous per-
sonalities of the 1915 rebellion; a
few odd scraps of facts, useful in
and therefore of no practical utility,
were scattered through forgotten
files. It was as though no current in
formation existed at all.
The first step was the correlation
of these various 'intelligences" ana
the placing of them under the super
vision of the police. But this was by
no means all. The members of the
intelligence staffs were for the most
part officers in uniform, or profess
siona1 police detectives, all we'll
known to the Irish Republican army
and its directors, and therefore use
less For that matter, the whole of
the detective staff of the Dublin Met
ropolitan police were shot or other
wise put out of action within the first
few months of active service. 1t was
necessary not only to reorganize the
intelligence branch but to recruit its
personnel. And this was the first
grave difficulty.

The generally accepted view ia that
business men and industrialists in this
country would welcome some practi-
cali activity toward stabi1izing the
paper peso, since its exchange value
has experienced long periods of virtual
anarchy and, in relation to the dollar,
gradually has fallen from the war
figure of three to one in 1919 to more
than 10 to one In 1922.
These violent movements in ex-

Now and then-at any stage in the

the long fingers Of the inquisitor
would stray into the circle of light,
playing carelessfy with piece Of

grew more danning. What wonder
if. after some hours of this treatment,
the prisoner broke down and made a
