DUBLIN. April l6.-Gunmen fired
from ambush on Michael Collins.
head Of the Irish provisional GOVERN
ment as he was returning from Mas
after a speech late today. Collins
was uninjured. and one OF the assaiI-
ants was captured.
The attempt on the life OF Collins
came just as il was believed the
Easter holiday would be passed over
quietly. II is now feared that this
attempted assassination may stir up
new bitter feeling and provoke new
discords.
The shots were fired AZ Collins
from ambush as he was passing Rut-
land square just before midnight. H..
had just returned here from Mas.
where he denounced DE Valera and
declared the former Irish president
was melting ireland TO anarchy and
wrecking the chances Of the fre"
state
Heavy Firing Near Jail.
Easter nerves" paraIyzed ireland
today. Provisional forces were on
the alert for an outbreak that was
feared from some quarters. Every
fort and stronghold that figured in
the rebellion OF 1916 was occupied.
Heavy firing in the vicinity Of
Mountjoy Jail caused a near panic. 4
party IS republicans opened hre.
which they kept up for two hours.
when the Free State guards with
heavy return volleys were able to
force them back. The incident ap-
parently was not serious.
Collins Attacks De Valera.
Wires are down and communica-
tion Is cut OF in many places. partly
due to the insurgents and partly to
the gale Saturday. which was espe-
cialiy violent at Tyrone. where sev-
eral houses were wrecked. Consid-
cradle damage was also done At
Strabane, where the pedestrians were
swept on their feet.
Collins, speaking today al Mas
charged De Valera with adopiin-
wrecking tactics because the peopi-
OF ireland faIied TO take his advice.
He denounced the De Valera Easter
manifesto as an appeal 10 anarchy.
Their -UnforgivabIe SIM
'1t is our opponents and th"ir
wreckinE tactics who are Ipsetting
affairs and placing a barrier TO m
onward march Of our nation Collins
declared. why has De Valera taken
on the ways of anarchy: BecauS"
the people OF Ireland were unwilling
to allow him TO think and decide for
them. This is their unforcivsble sin.
That's why they are being deprived
Of their constitutional right to choose

Disbanded members of the Royal
Irish Constabulary during the wat
were ordered to leave the vicinity h.

MEXICO MAY TAKE
CUE FROM SOVIET

MEXICO CITY, April 16.-Radical
leaders here are watching the Ge-
noa conference closely, and 1t is be-
lieved in political circles that the
question of recognition of Russia
and the arrangements being made
for honoring the Russian debt will
have a great influence on the future
development of Mexico's policy. One
prominent political leader said tina,
IF Russia is recognized. Mexico
might as well become frankly Boil
shevik and see IL she can secure
similar action"
Rumors of imminent American
recognition have failed to- cause any
effect in political and diplomatic
circles here. These rumors. how
ever. have gone far toward check
ing incipient uprisings in several
parts of the country, particularly
in the army.
