SOUTHERN IRELAND PATROLLED BY AIRCRAFT. SENSATIONAL STORIES OF DRILLING. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 9, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 9. The appearance of both Free State and British aeroplanes, apparently patrolling the Southern Irish Coast, revived rumours of extensive gunrunning. * The Cork correspondent of "The Times” reports unwonted military activity and official reticence. It is recalled that the Minister of Justice was questioned in the Dail last week, respecting an incident in West Cork, where seventy men, armed with new rifles and two Lewis guns, allegedly occupied an isolated village for the week-end for the purposes of drilling. The Minister replied that the police were inquiring.
