Associated Press Night Wirel
 LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Irish situation since the raids over the Ulster border has steadily become worse and no secret is made of the grave alarm with which it is view ed in official circles in London. Winston Spencer Churchill, secre- tary of the colonies, declared in the house of commons this after noon that the shooting of the Ulster special constables at Clones had greatly aggravated the situa- ton.
 The Evening Standard asserts Ireland is on the brink of civil war and "a member of the govern ment" as saying that while the government hesitates to do any, thing which the Sim Feiners could interpret as provocative, swift mill tary preparations have already been made to prevent an armed in- vasion of Fer1nanagh and Tyrone. EVACUATION OF SOUTH IS SUSPENDED
 In the light of the developments of the last few days much sig nificance is attached to the sus- pension today of the evacuation of British troops from southern Irish ports. The Irish office explains. that the suspension was ordered pending a decision regarding the extent of the endorsements to be sent to Ulster. Sir James Craig, Ulster premier, announced tonight that the Ulster garrison of British troops was to be increased from 10 battalions, the previous number, to IA.
 The weekend rioting in Belfast was continued today, the toll from Saturday being about 12 killed and 20 or more wounded. The shoot ing affrays in Belfast during the last "A hours occurred over a wide " extended area.
 The gunmen have kept well un- der cover and the police and sol diers patrolGng in armed cars are having trouble in locating them. DOWNING STREET HAS BEEN WRITING NOTES"
 Sir James telegraphed the Brit ish government tonight asking what action "other than dispatching messages to Dublin" the govern ment was taking or had taken to secure the return of the kidnapped loyalists.
 Michael Collins, head of the pro- visional government, in a message to the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Re public, charges that coup de'etat is being planned against the pro- visional government and warns the association, against assisting in any
