Retorting against tho military order forbidding persons to be abroad in Dublin without a pass after midnight, tho Dublin City Council has ordered the extinguishing of street lights after 11.30 and has forbidden the performance of any municipal services thereafter, as being dangerous in tho absence of lighting. The council has also refused to allow municipal employees to apply for military permits to be abroad, also if tho permits are obtained regardless of the council's injunction, the council will refuse to pay wages for work done during tho lightless hours. AN ATTACK THAT FAILED. The Sinn Feiners bungled an attempt to blow up the constabulary barracks at Ballynahinch, in County Down. Gelignite was inserted in holes drilled in the walls, but failed to explode. The town' had previously been isolated, the telegraph wires having been cut and the, roads blocked with felled trees.

Ho joined Casement’s brigade when ' a prisoner, in Germany, and joined the.Sinn Feiners after his release.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
