A PRESSMAN’S VIEWS. ; LONDON, March 28. Mr L. Garvin the Unionst pressman declares:-—lrish atrocities are almost surpassing those of Bolsheviks, awakening a now temper in Ulster, and threatening to rend Ireland asunder for ever. It was useless to talk of Dominion home rule. The English Government must.go straight ahead on its own lines. The details regarding Irish outrages showed the murderers usually worked in gangs, ten crack shots being chosen to pick off victims while others act as outposts. The Government has secured evidence that almost incredible sums were paid, to some murder gangs. Anyone visiting Dublin Castle approaches, which are continuously watch ed, became a marked man. High Government officials no longer dared leave the Castle to visit their own families. ' A WARNING. LONDON, March 30. The “Sunday Express” asserts a Nationalist member of the House of Commons has received a written warning, marked with a black cross, intimating that his life is wanted in the cause of a free Ireland.
