Two Months Toll Greater
Than Two Previous Years
Fighting Continues.
By MILTON BRONNER

! DUBLIN. Sept. 1O.-More grievous
! hurts have been done 70 Ireland in

years fighting between the British
and the Irish republican army
| What is the toll Of death and de-
truction2
Where is the battle-ground of this
civil war?
These questions, particularly the
first. are difficult to answer, owing
to censorship.
The tragic story includes these
outstanding points: Arthur Griffith
dead from worry and strain; Michael
I Collins assassinated; the finest parts
of Dublin in ashes; the best build
! ings in Cork and Limerick destroyed
by fire and dynamite: a trail Of de-
struction across the west and south
/ OF Ireland; business almost paralyz-
ed. and farmers suffering from mill
/ tary seizures and inability 10 sell
their produce; dozens of men killed
and wounded and hundreds in
prisons.
That is the story of the part of
! Ireland known as the Irish Free
State To this Is added a long list
OF killed and wounded. of people
evicted and of property destroyed in

Civil war really started in Dublin

army FLASHED with the irregulars led
, by De Valera. In the battles that

building was destroyed and fine no

Driven out OF Dublin as a coher-
ent force. the rebels against Free
State authority fought at Dundalk,

price was always death and destruc-

In July alone It was estimated
5000. 900. 90 in property was destroy

istas were in the field was from one
TO five millions.
] Such figures as are obtainable-
which probably only represent part
OF the actual losses-show this re-
/ suit for two months:
100 men killed.
S34 men wounded

Between June I and June % there

INDUSTRY
GAINING STRENGTH
Business Circles Now Inter

Industrial Recovery.

NEW YORK. Sept 10.-CBy A.
P)-With soft coal production
reaching satisfactory levels and with
the hard coal strike practically set
tied interest in business and finan-
cial circles has centred during the
past week in the extent of industrial
recovery and the prospects for fall
business.
The steel industry, perhaps the
chief sufferer from the strikes. shows
signs of Improvement. The fifty per
cent OF capacity level of operations
10 which the industry was reduced
by the strikes, has been bettered
slightly and further gain is expected.
With a continued restriction Of fuel
and car supplies, however. the trade
is moderate in It's anticipations A
return TO a sixty per cent basis this
fall IS considered more likely than a
full recovery 10 the 10 pc cent basis

Neu Attorney
Joins Defense
In Baby Case
W. q. Crabill, Famous as
CrOss-Examiner, Added
TO POulin Forces.

Aside from the general gossip,
discussion and comment upon the
now nationally famous Herman case.
one new fact developed over Sunday
in connection with the hearing
Thursday OF Harry Poulin on the
charge Of being the father OF the
child born 20 Mrs. Herman last No
vember.
u FAXED out from the defense
batteries yesterday that a fourth
lawyer had been added 70 the de-
Tense OF Herman, a suggestion IN
itself OF the seriousness with which
the entire case IS considered.
Poulin's original attorney. Vitus
Jones, had already been supple
mented by Samuel Schwartz. former
prosecutor and skilled in the Grim
inal law. It had also added Samuel
Parker. considered the dean of the
local bar. a conservative whose
opinion on legal points carries great
weight.
CrabiH Added
To that formidable opposition to
Prof. Herman, a fourth name was
added over Sunday. that of w G..
Crabill. a member of Mr.. Parker's
firm. Atty. Crabill is known to the
legal profession as the most pierre
ing and pitless Of cross examiners,
an attorney whose shafts of satire
have broken down many a witness
upon the stand. and whose almost
ruthless pressing OF his questions
have been the terror of all wit
nesses. It will be Atty Crabill. so
it is limited. who viii rut TO the
acid tests the statements Mrs.
Herman viii make upon her appear
.ance upon he stand to support the
charge that Poulin, not her hus-
band, is he father Of ner child.
Attorneys look upon the coming
into the case OF Mr.. Crabill as offer
ing an even more dramatic oppOr-
tunity for sensationalism and OF
making the case from a legal stand
point what 1t has been from that
OF human interest, a real causa
celebre.
That the court proceedings are
civil. not criminal in character and
that the verdict of Justice of the
Peace Aloysius Hosinski may be
final is the statement of attorneys
not connected with the case In a
discussion as to the course OF pro-
ceeding in this most unusual case.
Ponder Over Situation
For the first time in the history of
courts a married woman is charg-
ing another man than her husband
with the fatherhood Of her child.
