SCENES IN DUBLIN
ANTI-BRITISH CROWDS UNION JACKS BURNED REPUBLICAN PROCESSION BANNERS SHOW HOSTILITY ' i By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 12, 5.5 p.m.) DUBLIN. Nov. ]1 The Armistice Day parade in Dublin was orderly in spite of disturbances last night. Each section of the procession of 10,000 ex-servicemen carried a Regimental colour. Union Jacks were not displayed. Some men singing the " Soldiers' Song," interrupted the two minutes silence outside the Bank of Ireland. The police suppressed consequent scuffles. Serious trouble had been expected in connection with Armistice Day. Leaders of the Irish Republican Army speaking on College Green last night protested against any display of Imperialism and ordered their followers to tear down every poppy in Dublin and burn every Union Jack. At the end of the meeeting two largo Union Jacks were burned amid wild cheers from the crowd. Labour bodies and the Republican Army held a procession in the city. Their banners were inscribed: "Resist the British bully and release prisoners." The latter part of the phrase was .in reference to Republicans whom Mr. de Valera has coused to be sent to gaol.
