SHADOW OF GUNMAN
OUTRAGES IN ULSTER. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (Unueo treat n«aoe.iatlon— By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) LONDON, Oct. 30. “There is the shadow of the political gunman over Belfast,” Isays the “Daily Express.” “There is a Chicago tang about the recent outrages, and the purpose is to make political trouble. “The proscribed Irish Republican Army, 38 of whose members were arrested in -the last three weeks, is setting about its business in grim earnest. Ulster is full of armaments, as the farmers are sending for revolvers and rifles on the plea that the ‘Papists are arming, so we must have an arm r ouiry of our own.’ Lots of these arms, which date back to 1914, have passed to the Republican Army. “The authorities have accented the challenge, and they mean to keep the warfare underground. If the special Act proves insufficient to stop gun-rule the Ulster Government will take further powers. ’’.
