LONDON, Oot. 20
Sir Hamar Greenwood, in the tfouse of Commons, stated that the problem of the campaign of murder ir. Ireland had now narrowed down to a few counties in the West and the Dublin reign of terror was be : .ij? broken. He said that he foresaw an early end to the assassins' rule. He admitted that reprisals had occurred <:n the case .of the murder of Inspector Brady. When his nien saw him lying wounded they "saw red"- and burned the shops of three notorious Sinn Feiners. He regretted a certain break in discipline in when the men saw the mutilation and death iof five gallant officers. The Government knew of hundreds of assassins and could track down every one. He would rake Ireland from end to end in the search for arms.—A. and N.Z.
