IRELAND
CRIME IN WEST CORK. MURDER CAMPAIGN CONTINUED. BELFAST’S STIGMA. Piim Assosistisa— By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 1. (Received May 1, at 5.6 p.m.) A Protestant farmer was murdered at Bandon. This is the ninth similar crime in West Cork in six days. The Protestants are abandoning their homes throughout the country, and are going to England. Scores of businesses have been suspended. The F’reo State general has warned the soldiers not to interfere with civilians on pain of death. Rebels ambushed a party of the Royal Irish Constabulary near Drogheda, killing one, wounding one, and capturing a third. They seized a car. F’reeman’s Journal, in a leading article, demands the Dail Eireann and 1.R.A., whatever their differences, to unite and put an end to the murderous campaign m the vicinity of Dunmanway. “Some devilishly-minded persons,” it says, “seem bent on fixing on Southern Ireland the hateful disgrace and stigma that Belfast wears.’’ —A. and NJZ. Cable.
