BATTLE IN DUBLIN

Continued from page 1

Tho prospect was that the opera

creasingly assume the character OF

itself peculiarly TO defensive purposes
and Il is considered unlikely that the
Free State troops Will. at lcast for the
present, attempt TO take II by assault.
Tho most menacing feature OF the
situation from the Provisional Govern
ment standpoint, is the fact that the
Insurgents are developing activities
along guerrilla lines, particularly in
the form OF ambushes.
Many OF tho Insurgents wear no
uniforms. and tho Free State soldiers
! like the British before the truce, are
exposed to attack while traversing
narrow streets to and from their
barracks.
The prevalence OF these tactics makes
II seem impossible 20 the government
