MAGNITUDE OF MEETING
A SURPRISE TO OBSERVERS

Dublin. Feb. u CBy the A. P.)-Ths
magnitude and the generally enthusias-
tic character of the republican demons
strstion held this afternoon was a sur
prise to observers OF the political sit
uation. Eamonn De Valera was tina
principal speaker.
The supposition had prevailed that Ia
Valers's uncompromising republican fol-
lowing was confined mainly 10 Cork ana
Kerry, but II seemed evident from the
applause accorded him that the Dublin
crowds still regard him with their old
fe-vor.
Observers Of the situation, after hsv-
ing made allowance for the fine weath@
er as an inducement for the people TO
turn out declared that everyone must
recognize the demonstration as being
significant. The throng packed oCol-
nell street from the Parnel statue a.
most down 10 the Nelson pillar and over
flowed into the side streets. A remarz-
able feature was re presence in mill
tary formation Of a large BODY Of tha
Irish republican army. The men mobl-
lied in Smithheld and marched 10 the
meeting. but were not actually present
at the demonstration.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for counter meetings on behalf oc
the provisional government but 1t is, ex-
pected that those siding with the gov
ernment speedily will get busy.
All the principal colleagues OF Mr.. Ds
Valera supported him today in platform
speeches. Notable among them was
Charles Burgess. Austin Stack, Harry J.
Boland and J. 7. o'Kelly.

A STATEMENT ISSUED
BY SIR JAMES CRAIG

Belfast, Feb. 10 CBy the A. P)-sir
James Craig. the Ulster PREMIER this
evening issued the following statement:
The government of Northern Ireland
have been in constant communication
with Downing street Ohe official resi-
dence of Premier Lloyd George during
the weekend and have received informa-
ton that Arthur Griffith has dispatched
emissaries to County Monaghan with in
structions TO arrange for the release of
the kidnapped loyalists.
The northern government have pro-
posed the following plan in case the
present negotiations of the British gov
ernment prove Ineffective:
"'They telegraphed Saturday night to
the British cabinet urging that Monag-
han and other danger points beyond the
boundary Of northern Ireland should be
occupied by British troops. with a free
hand to take whatever steps they consid-
cred necessary to secure the release II
the loyalists and to prevent further in
sions across the border. Such troops
should be able to prevent any recurrence
of such cowardly and brutal outrages as
that perpetrated Saturday at Clones
when forces of the crown proceeding or
duty through territory admitted by Mr.
Churchill British secretary Of the colo
be under the British regime were foully
and brutally murdered.
Further steps IN the present 'plaI
are to organize resolutions in botf
houses Of the British parliament thai
until all loyalists are restored unharln
ed to their homes. and until the British
government agrees that the boundaries
will not be altered without the consen
of porthern Ireland. the parliamen
should refuse to pass legislation deal
ing with Ireland and the treaty
1T is needless TO state that this doe
not exhaust the resources of northern
Ireland for dealing with the situation !
| It still continues, but 1t is obvious tha
| a public pronouncement concerning othe
actions taken would be injudiciou:
| Meanwhile every opportunity is bein
given Arthur Griffith and Michael Col
| Inns TO fulfill their promise that they WI.
in time secure the release Of the loyal
| lists"
| The special ofnstaz5es cavIured a;
! Clones were released and reached An
nskillen today. Three OF them were suf
! fering from wounds. which makes tn
total injured eleven.

WHY INDUSTRIES ARE
OPPOSED TO SOLDIERS BONUS

Washinfiton, Feb. 12.-Industries OF

for a so'diers' bonus as being socially
urwise, an economic absurdity and po-

That millions of former soldiers" he
declared, can have their votes at the
November election by a paltry dole of
$500 or $500 payable $50 a quarter. be-
ginning at some time in 1923, is such an
insult ID Their Intelligence. and an cut
rage to their sense of fecency, that IN M
my opinion It will defeat for recollection
every member of congress, house or sen
ate. who supports this iniquitous meas
ure"
He added however. that the industries
of the country were not opposing the
most generous and liberal care for the
