GIRLS ASSIST REBELS.

DE VALERA IN DUBLIN.

6X CABLE—PE.E3S ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHS LONDON, Jan. 3.

The Dublin correspondent of tEe Daily Express says scores of young rebels, emulating Jean Paul Marat, are living in sewers around Dublin? and defying the Free Staters, while others are living in caves and tunnels on the coast of Dublin Bay, from which, they raid trains and comniit other outrages. The girls of the district regard the rebels as heroes, and give them all information, which is often extracted from Free State troops during flirtations. The high spice of the danger attracts Irish girls to the 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 he attended a meeting of the socalled second Dail, which the rebels regard as the constitutional authority of Ireland.

Armed rebels burned, the Macmine Junction station during the night.

Twenty-five armed men entered the enclosure of the Pallina coursing meeting, held up the caretakers, and released all the hares. The famous sporting event was accordingly abandoned. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
