"WAR ON ENGLAND"

FRANK ADMISSION DEPORTEE'S BOAST - I EXTREMISTS WINNING SYMPATHY FROM ITALY By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Independent Cable Service (KVvived July 111, (!.ao p.m.) a DUBLIN, July ftl In an, (ulerview after his deportation from liugland, Dennis Murphy, alios John .Walsh, "the man with a slouch," said Ulie Irish Republican Army was financed by rich Irish people,/ mainly in Australia and America, and by pennies from the

poor in, Eire. Continuing, Murphy said: "The war continues. For every one of us leaving England there will be 100 volunteers ready to take his place. We. declared war against England because/ the position of Ulster is becoming intolerable. "We warned the Homo Secretary that Ulster must bo joined to the rest of Kire and that our people must not be put into prison without trial. He ignored that so wo started military operations. Since then there his been guerilla war.

Millions o.t Pounds Worth of Damage "We arc winning. Wo have liacl only 100 casualties—Army volunteers sent to prison. Wo have done millions of pounds worth of damage. According to a statement in the House of Commons no other army has achieved that with so few casualties. "There are two things I would like to point out. The first is that all our bombings are aimed at the destruction of property, not human life. The King's Cress bomb was timed to go off in the early hours of the morning. Something happened to the timing apparatus and it exploded 12 hours sooner. That was unfortunate, but those things happen in war.

Would :aot take Help from M'azis "Secondly, wo do not receive any German money. Nazis try to make publicity out of us and we cannot help it. We would not take Nazi money if it was offered, to us. "We do not like Germany any more than we like England." X -message from Rome states that sympathy with the Irish Republican Army is expressed by Count Ciano's organ, Telegrafo. It says: "The Irish bombs evidence of the atrocious injustices on which Britain founded her Empire. Irishmen cannot forgive the miseries of the past." -

EXPELLED MEN PROBLEM FOR EIRE PEACE MAY SUFFER ANXIETY IN DUBLIN (Receired July 31, 5.10 p.m.) / M LONDON, July 31 There is much speculation in Dublin regarding the fortunes of the coming deportees from England, says the Times. The immediate question is: What will be done with the returning warriors of the so-called "expeditionary force." Thei'e is a danger that Ireland's peace may suffer. < •.

The Prime Minister of Eire, Mr. de .Valera, may be assumed to have laid careful plans, knowing that -the members of the Republican Army .will not

remain inactive. England's opportunity of ridding herself of Irish malcontents las become Ireland's difficulty, which anxiously contemplated. The first Irish deportees noiv in Ireland will, have little opportunity of returning to England.
