tween Fire and Northern Ireland
the London Daily Herald said police
FAD instituted drastic comb-olIt
among the 10000 Fire workers who
have obtained resident. permits in
Northern Ireland since the war
started.
Dublin newspapers printed the
travel announcement without COM
ment. There was no immediate Of
ficial reaction, but some is expected
when the Dali meets tomorrow.
There seems to be no wavering
In support of neutrality and of De
Valera's stand" the Associated Press
Dublin correspondent reported. "The
answer to all my questions was, We
knew neutrality and all it implies
meant sacrifice"
Police Guard Legation.
This correspondent said police
were on guard at the German Lega-
ton in Dublin and allowing no one
to loiter around the building. Eduard
Hempel, the German Minister, lives
with his wife and five children near
Queenstown.
Prime Minister Curtin of Aus
tralla was quoted today in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Canberra
as announcing that Fire had asked
Australia to intervene and secure
withdrawal of the American note.
eve said quite definitely Australia
was in accord with the American re-
quest and hoped the Fire govern
ment would see its way clear to
agree" Mr.. Curtin added.
The travel order applies to both
civilians and military personnel
The announcement said that here
after permits would be granted only
for business or work of urgent ma
tional Importance" after full gov
ernment investigation.
Workers Directly Affected
"The government, the order said
"are confident that the public will
understand that military considera-
tlonS which require the imposition
Of these restrictions are at present
Of paramount importance and will
accept them and the hardships
necessarily entailed with good will
as part of their contribution to the
supreme effort of the war that is to
come"
Most directly affected by the order
we're thousands of Fire natives who
work in Britains factories and those
in her military forces. 1t will be
. virtually impossible for any of these
to visit home until the restrictions
are lifted.
An end also will be brought tc
the practice, common among both
military and civilian personnel, OF

Military or Economic
Pressure by u. 5.
By the Associated Press.

Robert Brennan, Irish Minister
In Washington, doesn't believe the
United States will put military ol
economic pressure behind its re.
quest to Fire to abandon neutrality
and expel Axis diplomats.
"The State Department has beer
most friendly" he said yesterday
despite Fires rejection of the
American request.
Mr.. Brennan denied reports that
Premier Eamon de Valera had in.
structed him to obtain assurances
that the American Government
does not contemplate any military
measure against Fire.
He said President Roosevelt's
"no invasion" promise of 1912 was
reaffirmed when the Irish Min
lister called at the State Depart
ment shortly after David Gray
American Minister to Dublin, de-
livered the American note last
week. At that time, Mr.. Brennan
said, he was told neither military
nor "other measures" would be
taken to put pressure on Fire.
Mr.. Brennan said the Irish are
anxious to preserve their neutrality
as the outward sign of the coun-
try's independence
Ireland would like to be at the
peace table, he said, since the par
tition of the country into Southern
and Northern Ireland is a very
sore spot with u.s." but the subject
has not been advanced officially.

Mr.. Hardy took her in, and since
that time has been devoting his
time to caring for her, refusing any
job that would keep him away too
long, and buying their meager sup
plies with the little money given to
Mrs. Bowen by relative.
Although her case is known to the
City Health Department and the
Alexandria tuberculosis Association,
there is no room for her in a sana-
torium and little that can be done
but make her comfortable.
Mrs. Osborne has supplemented
the flour-sacking sheets and pillow
cases with some linens from her own
home, and brings Mrs. Bowen maga-
zines to read when she feels strong
enough.
Mr.. Hardy washes the bed linen
and keeps the houseboat clean, all
with water he must carry in buckets
from the fertilizer plant. He carries
all supplies by the same route, and
if his return finds the tide in he
rows out to the houseboat in a skiff.
When it rains the roof leaks and
pans catch the drips. Driftwood
feeds the stove, which manages to
keep the small shelter warm even in
cold weather, but the wind and high
tides rock the houseboat so much
that Mrs. Osborne said she often
feels the need OF "sea legs" when
caring for the patient.
Mrs. Bowen was eager to talk
while the nurse was getting things
in order. She tried to express her
gratitude for what the visiting nurses
do for her, and said she felt that if
other people could read her story
they would understand the work the
nurses do, bringing all the help and
comfort they are able to sick people.
