Dublin, March 28tb.-As a counter
move to the threat of Richard Mulcah1,
the Dali Eireann Minister Of Defence,
that all lers0ns who attended Sundays
Convention under the auspices of a sec
ton of the Irish Republican Army,
would be suspended from the army, the
Executive Council, elected by the con-
N%entiGn, has issued to all units 0f the
army an order denying the Minister OF
Defence and his Chief of Staff any con-
troll of the Army. The order declares
that Mulcahy and his Chief of Staff have
pursued a policy calculated to subvert
the republic, and that the Council, by
virtue of the power vested in it is taking
the present action. The Council further
orders that all those serving in the paid
army, which is intended as the nucleus
OF the Free State Army, and in the civic
guards, which is the nucleus OF the tut
ure police force. NAV return forthwith
TO their respective Irish Republic Army
units, and that recruiting for th4:e bod
les must cease. This is looked Ip0n in
Dublin as marking the final break in the
army, and it is believed there that the
future depends largely upon which side
has the majority of soldiers.
