DUBLIN, March 27.-The con-
vention OF Irish Republican army
members, which had been forbid
den by the Dali Eireann cabinet,
ended its lengthy session late last
night without exciting any out
ward demonstration OF interfering
with the usual Sunday life of the
city.
The provisional Free State gov
ernment made no attempt to inter-
fere with the proceedings and has
not stated it will take any action
although 1t is generally supposed
that those who attended will be
treated as having separated them
selves from the rest OF the army
and their names may possibly be
stricken from the army rolls.
Tho action OF the convention In
unanimously adopting a resolution
reaffirming the delegates allegi-
ance to the Irish Republic met
with strong condemnation among
the supporters of the Free State.
