PARADE BANNED.
Cabinet Acts Against Blue Shirts. PREPARED FOR TROUBLE. (Received 2 p.m.) .DUBLIN, August 11. The Free State Cabinet has decided to invoke the Public Safety Act and has banned the proposed Blue Shirt parade for Sunday. General O'Duffy, who is prepared "for this contingency, will merely lay a wreath of cornflowers on the memorial at Leinster House.
General O'Duffy's plans include the posting of 500 Blue Shirts in civilian dress in the vicinity of the Collins Memorial to defend their marching comrades if attacked.
Meanwhile, armoured cars massed the Portobello barracks, and large forces of police were drafted into the city.
Detectives visited wholesale chemists and ordered them to report if customers were buying large quantities of bandages and surgical dressings, or chemicals for the manufacture of explosives.
