Already nearly $4,000 cases exist in
Germany, traced to refugees and Ger

Seventy-five per cent of the recent ar

WIDE BREACH
In IRISH RANKS
Republican Army Conven-
tion Will Be Held in De-
fiance of Griffith
O'CONNOR ASSERTS
ARMY LET DOWN.
Proposal Made to Set Up a
New Govern
ment

Dublin, March 22 (By the Associated
Press lit was officially announced II
| the republican organ here to-day that
the Irish republican army convention
the holding of which was recently for
bidden by Arthur Griffith, president
of the Dali Eireann, win be held in
Dublin Sunday, as arranged. This am
nouncement is taken here to mean that
definite split in the republican army
has come.
According to Commandant Roderick
0'Connor, director of engineering of
the headquarters staff of the Irish re-
publican army, so per cent of the
army's members believe the army has
been "let down" and that the Dali
Eireann has been false to the republi-
can oath by agreeing to accept the IN
clusion of Ireland within the British
empire.
The newspapermen were invited this
morning to the republican publicity de.
partment where they were received by
Commandant 0'Connor. Discussing the
army convention, the commandant
pointed out it had been originally sum
moned with the approval of Richard
Mulcahy. now minister of defense in
the Dali cabinet. The delegates, he
said, had been selected by companies
and numbered about 900.
O'Connor said the intention was to
restore to the army its old volunteer
constitution under which it elected its
own executive. The constitution was
abandoned when the Dali Eireann was
established as the republican govern.
ment and the army swore allegiance
to 1t as such.
Mulcahy, declared 0'Connor, had
pledged himself in the Dali to main
tain the army as republican organi
zation, but the pledge had been vio-
lated by the invitations given to the
members OF the army TO form the nu
cleus of the army OF the free state,
which O'Connor declared, subverted the
republic He said the army convention
would be held Sunday, as there was
no government in Ireland at present
to which the army owed allegiance.
A resolution would be submitted 10
the convention, said 0'Connor, renewing
allegiance to the Irish republic and
establishing an executive entitled to
issue orders to the Irish republican
army, which would then repudiate
control by the Dali.
"You may, if you like, call us mu-
tineers,' added 0'Connor, ~but the
rank and file Is always right II is
the leaders who have failed"
There are now FIVE distinct armed
forces in Ireland, 0'Connor declared,
but he claimed the body he represent
ed was the army Of the people.
f0'Eonnor's statement embodied tie
official view Of the party of Eamon DE
Valera, he declared.
During the interview Richard Bar
ton, one of the signatories of the An
glo-Irish treaty but now on De Val
era's side. was present in the room.
