HARD FIGHTING IN
SOUTHERN IRELAND
Free State Troops, Attacking Ir.
regulars, Meet With Very
Strong Opposition.

Dublin.-The Free State troops
pushing their campaign In the South,
have advanced into a region where
almost every road has been rendered
able concealed mines, which have been
laid for the purpose of encompassing
their destruction. hence they are NOV
ing warlly.
Fighting is In progress, and the Ma
tlonal troops are meeting with strong
opposition, though the exact location OF
the fighting Is not known here. The Ma.
tlonals are reported TO be attacking the
Irregulars from three sides, lombard
ing their positions with light field
pieces and machine guns. Both troops
and civilians are displaying herolsm,
the civilians assisting In bringing in
the dead and wounded under intense
fire.
One striking feature of the situation
Is the unwillingness Of the Irreguars
TO take the offensive. The National
troops are moving forward in good
spirits, but under difficult circum-
stances, the operations often mean
blvouacking for the night by the road
side in a pelting rain, with hot meals
lnfrequent, and the other dlscomforts
of open warfare. But the men remain
cheerful and the hardships endured
only Intensity their desire to bring the
campaign quickly to an end. Should
the present operations be successful.
the march on Cork will be greatly
facilitated.
The fact that the meeting OF parlla-
ment has only been postponed until
August II Is held to indicate that the
government is hopeful Of an early ter
mlnatlon Of the hostlllties.
A dispatch from Castlebar reports
that from the Shannon to the sea the
county In the west is clear OF Irregu-
lars.

BRITISH MINERS
COOL ON EMDAGO
Committee viii Take Up Ques-
tion OF Strike Here-WeI-
come Increased Work.

LOND0N.-All the latest reports
from the British coal fields indicate
that nothing will be done by the miners
In regard to an embargo on shipments
TO America. After a lean period in
their industry they are appreclating
the stimulus given 10 employment
thro-gh the American demand
William Straker, Secretary Of the
Northumberland Miners Federation,
who is a member of the Executive
Committee of the General Federation,
said that he did not believe the fedar-
alton would take any official action
for obvious reasons"
The first step taken anywhere in
Great Britain on behalf OF the Ameri-
can miners as far as has been reported
was the passage of resolution by
one district in the Rhondda Valley,
South Wales, calling upon the Cen, raj
Executive Federation TO do everything
possible to prevent America from be-
ing supplied with British coal. The
opinion Of the delegates was that
otherwise British miners would ba
helping TO defeat their fellow-miners
in America.
II seems doubtful that prospective
American buyers In the Northumber-
land and Durham coal fields will meet
with much response, because 1t 10
stated that the available supplies are
already booked 10 the middle Of Au-
gust. but possibly further orders may
be met by increased production. Aside
from causing increases in the price Of
coal and In freight rates the American
demand has stimulated the European
demand in the Northumberland and
Durham fields.
The greatest effect OF the American
demand has been produced in the
South Wales fields. where cheerfulness
has succeeded long period Of de-
preston. The trade has been stagnsnt
for many weeks and there had been
no orders for delivery.

Aid Chief Sees London Defenseless

Aid Chief Sees London Defenseless
Berlln.-The views regarding the de
fenselessness Of London against air
raids, expressed In the Deutsche Ale
melnezeitung by the anonymous Odys-
seus. have been quickly confirmed by
Colonel Hermann Thomson, former
chief OF staff Of the German air force,
who organized many air raids on Lon
don and other British towns during
the war and is regarded here as the
greatest expert in such matters. Col
onel Thomson said:
ut Is a mystery 10 me that high
officials In British air circles have
profited so little from their war ex-
perlence. London Is now almost de-
fenseless. Within a few hours-per-
haps II would take only mlnutes-the
principal military buildings OF the
British capital could be reduced to
heaps OF smoulderlng ashes"
"But the British press recently al
luded to certain measures taken for
London's protection" one of his lis
teners said.
"If London has no other protection
than that described In the papers, then
In my opinion It Is practically defense
less" he replied.
Colonel Thomson refused TO criticize
the British measures for air defense in
detail. but he said:
II left the German army after the
war, but have carefully watched the
development Of aeronauties all over the
world since. Having been in the air
service since 1908. may be consider
ed an expert. My special study Is and
has been problems Of air raids and air
defenses. Ane believe, Colonel
Thomson added sarcsstlcaIly, "that my
studies have not gone entirely unob-
served In England during the war. for
then the British press extensively
printed my photographs with every
significant comment"
