TO FIGHT SINN FEINERS.
EXTENSIVE SECRET SERVICE. ENGAGED IN BATTLE OF WITS. ABSENCE OF INFORMERS. (United Service.) Received January 6, 1.40 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 4.
Scotland Yard and the Dublin authorities are co-operating in the' development of a highly efficient sec.rot service for Ireland. Picked detectives are engaged in a battle of wits wilh the Sinn Feiners’ admittedly marvellous intelligence system.
The Sunday Times’ Dublin correspondent says that well-known suspects are continuously watched and their movements recorded in innumerable dossiers. Where photographs are not obtainable detectives stalk their quarry and patiently secure snapshots. The only handicap to the authority is the absence of informers, who were available in former times.
