SHADOW OVER BELFAST
LE.A; AND GUN KULE
/ UNDERGROUND WARFARE
LONDON, October 30. Tho "Daily Express"' says the shadow of the political gunman is over Belfast. There is a Chicago tang about tho recent outrages, and the purpose is to make political trouble.
The prescribed Irish ; Republican Army, thirty-eight of whose members have been arrested during the last three weeks, is setting about its business in grim earnest. '.
Ulster is full of armaments, aa'farmers are sending for revolvers and rifles on the plea that "the Papists are arming, so we must ha.v'e an armoury of our own." Lots of these arms, which date back to 1914, have passed to the Republican Army. The authorities have accepted the challenge, but they mean to keep the warfare underground. If a special Act proves insufficient to stop gun-rule, then the Ulster Government will take further powers. '■.'/
