These writers say the strength of the dissentients in the south and southwest is greater than has been supposed. It ig predicted that the provisional government will need to enroll sol- diers to the full strength allowed un- der the Anglo-Irish treaty and will then have none too many for the job of rounding up the guerilla bands act- ing under orders of the Republican headquarters. ‘The arrival in Cork harbor last night of a mnall squadron of British warships lends additional color to these reports, as it is believed the ves- sels were sent in anticipation of se- rious trouble in that district and pos- sible attacks on the British naval sta- tion there. ‘The public is still kept guessing as to the whereabouts of Eamon De Va- lera.
