ADOLPH KAHN, 935 F Like an Invisible Enemy, Irish Army Hits Quickly Officer of Republican Forces Describes Tactics to American Correspondent—Morale of Men at Highest DUBLIN, February 5—A high of- ficer of the Irish republican army has given to the Associated Press 2 lengthy statement on the army and its operations. This is the first au- thorized statement thus made pub- Iic, but the identity of the officer and the circumstances of the interview cannot be disclosed, nor is the cor- respondent permitted to publish the statistical information supplied re- garding the total number of forces, both regular and “irregular’—as the fiying columns and provide billets and supplies. “The men are all well fed and are in good health,” he added, “and their continued resilience is amazing. Nothing depresses them: they are always game for a new job, even if knocked about night after night." Asked why individual policemen were shot down, he said that mo po- liceman was picked off because he happened to be an officer, asserting: “No attack is made unless something is_wrong with the policeman’s rec- ord. such as engaging in intelligence work.” | 390..

Our plan is to account for every dis- trict, either by battalions or com- panies; every foot of ground is be- ing surveyed and studied with ref- erence to the most promising spots for ambushers and with regard to the dispositions of the crown forces. The size of our forces varies accord- ing to the nature of the country and jthe number and character of the in- ihabitants.

It should be un- derstood, however, that we must or- ganize and train men for the work while we are engaged in fighting.” The unit of the organization, ac- cording to the officer, is the company whose full strength normally is 100 men, each company being tactically self-contained and furnishing ics own signalers, engineers and machine Capt.

X replied: on a barracks, or other major operation requiring a large number of men, the officers in the district must satisfy us at headquarters that it won't mesn throwing away men or ammunition. In small operations, however, such as an attack on one or two lorries, or the seizure of mili- tary supplies on trains or roads, or raids on mails, the men act on their own_initiative.” Col. X asserted that the organiza- tion was growing rapidly and that it was easy to obtain recruits. “Of course” he explained, “we do not take every applicant. In order to join a man must have a good standing; this is casy to determine in the country. In the cities he must be vouched for. A good proportion of the republican army is composed of ex-soldiers, of whom only the best are taken; they are particularly use- tul in machine gun work.” No pay is given to any of the mem- bers of the organization except in- structors.
