HOW YOUNG REBELS LIVE.

EMULATORS OF MARAT

London, Jan. 3. The “Daily Express’s” Dublin correspondent. says scores of young rebels, emulating Jean Paul Marat, are living in sewers around Dublin and defying the Free Staters. Others are living in caves and tunnels on the const of Dub lin Bay, whence they raid trains and commit, other outrages. The girls of the district, regard the rebels as heroes and give them all their information, which is often extracted from Free State troops during flirtations. The high spice of danger attracts Irish girls to tiie dark and perilous game, not only in the .neighbourhood of Dublin, but throughout Southern Ireland. De Valera made another melodramatic appearance in Dublin to-day, when 4c attended a meeting of the so-called second Dail, which the rebels regard as authority of Ireland. Armed rebels burned a junction station during the night.

Twenty-five armed men entered the Enclosure at the Ballina coursing meeting and held up the caretaker and released all the hares. The famous sporting event was accordingly abandoned. —(A. and N.Z.)
