DRY FORCES IN VIRGINIA
MAKE APPEAL FOR FUNDS

Richmond, July Tn circular
letter signed by David Hepburn, state
representative of the Anti Saloon
League in Virginia. made public here
today appealing for $4,000 needed to
organize the dry forces in the state
and to give the records of the wet and

the declaration is made that the vets
are determined to control the next
legislature"
The letter. which declared that
financial assistance is needed before
the state primary, August l, says in
part:
THE organizations opposed to pro
hibition have served notice that they
will carry the fight into every con
gressional district where it is possi-
Bile to elect men in favor of 4 per cent
and - per cent wine. This would
bring back about 90 per cent of the
old liquor traffic.
"The two men who are most re-
sponshle for the present lawlessness
in the state of Virginia are both can
didates for high offices. Their rec
ords should be in the hands OF every
voter of the state"

MAY BE-
SLOW COMING TO
TROUBLED IRISH
Free State Troops Seem
To Be Gaining Control
of the Situation But
Fighting Continues In
Some Sections

London, July 7.-CBy the Associat-
ed Press. )-The provisional Irish Free
State government, by its victory over
the insurgeAt Republican forces in
Dublin, is believed to have taken 4
long step toward establishing itself
firmly and bringing peace in Ireland.
Already the call to arms is regarded
as encouraging and further proof that
most Irishmen are back of the new
government and opposed to the Irish
extremists.
Indications are not lacking, how
ever, that Michael Collins and his
colleagues will need all the support
they can get to put down the remain
ing resistance, which, according to re-
ports from some correspondents in
Dublin, is OF an important character.
These writer's say the strength of
the dissentients in the south and west
is greater than had been supposed
and declared the downing of this op-
position is likely to be slow and costly
in Cork county where insurgent Re
publicans are reported to have had
the field to themselves and have en-
gagged in elaborate preparations to OPP
pose any movement against them by
the Free State forces.
1t is said the Free State forces will
need to enroll soldiers to the full
strength provided under the Anglo
Irish treaty and then have none too
many for the job OF rounding up the
guerrilla bands acting under orders
of the Republican headquarters.
The arrival in Cork harbor last
night of small squadron of British
warships lends additional color to
these reports. as it is believed the YES
sells were sent in anticipation of seri-
Gus trouble in that district and pos
sible attacks on the British naval sta
tion there.
Republican headquarters at Mallow
is issuing daily bulletins declaring the
regulars are holding large areas and
making rapid progress in several di-
