 The national army had posted men in many districts of the city and suburbs In houses commanding the approaches to the city. This has in creased public confidence.
 Documents Destroyed
 The Four Courts now Is as much a ruin as the customs house and the postoffice Is nothing but the walls standing of the law library. All documents. including wills and court records, have been destroyed. The greatest loss is the public record of flee, which contained historic papers relating to Ireland for 500 years. in- cluding the. charters of the Irish cities. Every effort was made to save this structure, but the irregulars used 1t for the storage of ammua.- tion, which made 1t impossible to fight the flames.
 The casualties of the battle as an- nounced arc as follows:
 Wednesday. 15 killed and 40 wound ed; Thursday, If killed and 20 wounded; Friday. 13 killed and 107 wounded.
 The insurgents held the police bar racks. the courthouse and coast guard station at Bray, a seaside resort about 12 miles from Dublin. They evacuated these today, but set them afire.

Safety Failure of IS Per Cent in Report of Cars Passing Crossings, Who Took No
 Precautions
B, Asyocinted Press

Baltimore. July 1.-Are drivers Of motor vehicles becoming more negli- gent. less regardful Of their own safety?
 It would seem so from actual obser- vation made by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. For more than two years this railroad has been placing men at crossings where there are usu- ally a large number of automobiles posing. These observers make note of the number of machines crossing and take down the license numbers of those whose drivers fail to toke any precaution to assure themselves Chat 1t Is gaafe to pass over the tracks. This safety precautio1 con- sists of the drivers slowing down or stopping and then looking and listen ing. When a driver dashes over without taking any of these precau- tions, his license number Is noted and a card telling him of his negligence Is sent him, with dequest to guard his life and property the next time he goes over a railroad track
 In the year 1920 the Baltimore and Ohio observers took note of s9S,ooo vehicles in the states through which II J to tho records of these observers, there were 25,690 drivers who failed to take any precaution at highway crossings. This was six per cent of the total observations made.
 IS Per Cent Fall
 In April of this year there were 16,- AT automobiles checked by the rall- roads observers. There were 2,972 of the drivers of these reported as falling to stop, look or listen before posing over the tracks. This was a safety failure of IS per cent.
 For the first four monthe of this year there were $500 machines ob- served and tho failures" reached IT per cent.
 The increase In the number of driy- CTS failing to take safety precautions seems clearly to indicate. In the opin- ion of the roads safety department. hatt the automobile driver is becom- ing more negligent.

 It Is understood that the adminis- tration is about convinced that the south Is democratic country. and that 1t had just as we'll make the best of the situation. At any rate, it ts known that the administra ti6n does not hope to wean the south or any section of 1t from its traditional po-' litical moorings.
