TALES TOLD IN WHISPERS,
(Received 1.30 p.m.)
(LONDON, Dec. 16
The police discovered'a shelter of wanted Sinn Feiners in the mountains between GTogher and Monaghan, equipped with .expensive furniture commandeered from a"mansion. The plant contained large quantities of steel helmetts and military equipment. Seven persons were arrested. The "Times" eorresjpondent at Cork states: "The great stumblingblock to the military inquiry which opens to-morrow is the difficulty of getting civilian witnesses to come forward owing to intimidation and the suspicion Ithat Ireland is a kind of whispering gallery and Cork one of its moSt secret corners. In the city with fingers to lip, th e people among themselves tell moving stories, but their confidences are immediately (broken at the approach of Strangers." —"Times.,"
