Peace Reigns in
Limerick Town
Troops UnmOlested

Limerick. March 7--(By A. P)--
Everything was peaceful in Limerick
tonight. There were no untoward in
cidents today resulting from the in
vasion of the city by Irish Republic
can troops and the communicating
of the principal hotels and other
places for billets.
The proprietors of the commander
ed hotels and the puzzled citizens are
treating the affair philosophically but
with due regard to its humorous as
poets. Richard Mulcahy, minister of
defense in the Dali Eireann cabinet
and other members, persons from the
headquarters Of the provisional head
uuartersSin Dublin, arrived in LINER
ick today, including Adjutant General
O'Sullivan, and began negotiations
with the Republican troops. Although
no progress had been reported, the
hope prevails that it will not be ne =
essary to employ force to bring about
the withdrawal of the revolving Re-
publicans.
Civilian guests of the commander
ed hotels are living in them without
molestation. COmmandant General
| Brennan of the Free State forces has
been in communication with the in
surgents and theyNave arriven at an
understanding that neither side to the
controversy will interfere with the
other at the present time.
