REBELS VIOLATE
IRISH TRUCE BY
AMBUSH ATTACK
Feeling Against DeVaIeraltes Run
High When They Break Agree
ment and XIII Three Free
State Men.
(By The United Press.)

Dublin, May 5.-A free state force
was ambushed by republican rebels
at Newtown Cunningham, two hours
after the Irish truce was declared.
Three loyal officers were shot to
death and four wounded.
This action of the DeValeraites
who opened murderous fire from
their ambuscade, moving down the
provisional government troops who
were observing the truce, has stirred
up tremendous feeling against the
insurgents.
Newton Cunningham is a little
town near Londonderry. The free
state forces, which had just been
notified Of the armistice, were pro
ceeding to the village for refresh
ments and had halted in one of the
narrow streets,
The sudden hail of rifle fire
opened by the mutineers from three
sides, gave the loyal troops no chance
to escape. Some attempt was made
to return the fire, but the insurgents
were well concealed. The firing
lasted for twenty minutes.

did not interest the case-hardene1
politicians of the senate who had
weathered what they regarded many
similar political storms. Today they
are giving the Newberry matter an
other and longer look
Crow of Pennsylvania, of course,
is already practically out of the con-
test ON account of ill-health.
In some states the Newberry case
will not figure as seriously as in
others. In some II will not be a
factor in the primary but will be
injected into the election by the
democrats. In others II will be tho
major issue of the primary and II
the incumbent survives that, the gen.
eral election. Nowhere will 1t be
overlooked.
Its value as political weapon
has, without question, tremendously
increased since Tuesday.
Lodge will get full volley on
the Newberry case, along with
lot of other things. One direct re-
suit of the Indiana result has been
to stimulate the fight against Lodge.
What effect will the Newberry
case have on Hiram Johnsons fu-
ture? some are asking. Johnson did
not vote. He arrived in Washington
a couple hours too late. His friends
say that will not hurt him because
California understands.
