has repeatedly sustained specia
welfare legislation for women ever
when it was argued that such leg
islation was in direct violation O
the 18th amendment to the United

The legal discrimination" which

sole legitimate authority in Ireland.
There Is a wide divergence between
the accounts published by the govern
mcnt OF its successes against h ir
regulars and those put out by De Val
era's party. The government claims
TO be winning nnd gradually restoring
order while Dc yaleras followers re
cord revere losses they are inflicting
and assert that the Free State is al
ready beaten.
These assertions are made partly
in propasande sold upon the streets
and partly through large Inscriptions
painted nightly all over Dublin on
lamp posts billboard and bridges
The civil guard and the m~etropoli-
tan police pace up and down all the
thoroughfares. but they seem unable
to check these manifestations OF Ire
lands internal dissension.
Every day government agents go
about and smear paint solidly over
the Inscriptions, but h next morn
Ing they appear again.
The intensification OF activity by
the irregular is supposed 20 be par
tally aimed at the British political
crisis with the design Of bringing
nome to the British the thought that
the irish question remains unsettled
despite the treaty When the new
British parliament assemblies and the
constitution OF the Free3state is sub
mltted for ratification. II is antici-
pated that the activities Of the irreg-
ulars will be further intensified.
Except in the south all large
bodies OF republican forces have been
dispersed-1n a wholesale manner by
national troops, but small bands are
able TO infiict constant losses ana hui
initiation upon the government by
their activities in Dublin and else
where. Repressive power has been
granted to the government by the
Irish parliament. but the republicans
have never believed these powers
would be fully exercised, and SC FAR
their forecasts have been. for the
most part, accurate. The Free STATE
government has 30, 900 troops fully
equipped and costing nearly IS. 1000. 900
a year. Yet the attacks of the irreg-
ulars are made in confidence Of cs-
cape and wit hthe thought that even
II they ARE caught. they viii suffer
nothing more than detention in
prison.
II members of h Irish parliament.
which resume Wednesday. express in
public what some OF them aave been
saying in private. there is sure TO be
searching criticism OF the goevrn-
ment's ineffectiveness against the ir-
regulars. The iatter's policy OF dis,
locating railway traffic is Witnessed
daiiytin the wholesale Cunning of sig
nal boxes. some OF them on suburban
lines quite close to the city. It has
become a common thing TO seize a
train and let 1t run loose at full
speed. APPALLING consequences OF this
wild practice have been oSviated so
far only by good luck.
Considering some arrests which
have been made and others which
have not been made. it is inferred
that there are differences Of opinion
IN the Irish cabinet as to what Ought
70 be done TO put a stop TO the irreg.
ularx-

didates of two parties. In 242 other
constituencies the battle is compli-
Gated by the presence OF three or
more contestants. .
Even the wisest political seers are
uncertain ns TO what the general re
suit will be. Some newspapers rub
lish estimates of how they believe the
various parties VIII rank when the
voters have had their ssy. but one
OF the ~forecasters express great con
fiderce in their own claims.
During the campaign vents have
led to n revision OF some OF the more
sangtfine estimates. notably the case
in Glasgow and western Scotland
where the united front presented by
this unionists and Lloyd George lib
erals originally induced considerable
complacency. But now. a Glasgow
dispatch to the Times says the great
est concern IS felt over seats which
were regarded as safe a fortnight ago
Labor is making on Clyde its most
highly concentrated efforts and Il
pressing the attack with increasing
Confidence" the dispatch reported.
There Is general feeling that II the
cooperating parties escaped with the
forfeiture of only six seats they viii,
have done we'll. Municipal polls Mt

England. showed a significant growth
OF labor strength. and these results
are responsible for the attack of
nerves from which iabor's opponents
are suffering"
Although some doubts have been
expressed regarding Bonar Laws

correspondent says nobody seriously
