EUERRLLAFGHTS SPREADING N ER Startiing Increase in Deaths Among Crown Forces and Attackers. BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN. Br Cabje to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. DUBLIN, Ireland, March 22.—The last few days have seen the most intonse guerrila warfare in months in several widely separated Irish counties, with severe casualtics to the crown forces, as well as to the attackers. In spite of the close scarching everywhere by the military. the republican army is still amply provided with arms and is obedient to_the control of its secret chiefs. Last Friday the authorities issued an appeal to the citizens, admitting the economic losses due to the cur- few, but explaining that it was in- evitable because of the bomb attacks on the military, in which, they point- ed out, the crown casualties were trifling compared with the deaths and injuries among innocent civilians. . They invited the citizens as electors to use their influence to restrain t authors of the attacks, whom th expressly_name as Charles Burges Richard Mulcahy and Michael Col lins, all members of parliament. Worst Attack Yet Known. The answer came the next evening in the worst attack yet known. The bombers improved their aim and in full daylight landed a bomb in the middle of a lorry full of South Lai cashire soldiers, killing two and s riously wounding six. In the Wate: ford martial law area armed Sinn Feiners fought the military, who had taken a prisoner, capturing the mili- tary officer and a sergeant of police. A military relief party, which was dispatched immediately, was also at- tacked. The motor driver was shot dead, and, though the military recov- ered the captured officers, the attack- ers killed a.sergeant, pinning a paper on his breast to the effect that he ‘was executed. Near Bandon, in the courts-martial law ares, there was a regular battle. The Sinn Feiners watched a military party until it became separated from its transport, then fell on the trans- port, burned it, killed seven men-and wounded five, including an officer. The military won in the end, captur- ing large quantities of arms, ammu- nition and bombs. They killed at Jeast six raiders, but found only one dead body. ‘Women in Comstant Terror. In Fermoy, en important military siation, two young soldiers were wounded at a fancy fair, and a girl with them was wounded so badly that she is not expected to recover. In Kilkenny city three military officers narrowly escaped from a midnight revolver attack. From Sligo and Queens county come reports of at- tacks on police barracks by hun- dreds. of men armed with guns and explosives. “This is only part of the record. In- dividual shootings of policemen and civilians suspected of being connected with the police are reported daily. The average citizen of Dublin is now terror-stricken. for on any day and any street corner he may run into an armed fight between soldiers and Sinn Feiners. Some of the flercest fights have been in the middle of the principal streets. Women. frightened all day by sounds of firing over the city, await anxiously the return of husbands obliged to be abroad. Business Almost Dead. ‘Business is almost dead in the prin- cipal stores, and many are operating at a loss. The curfew, now fixed at < pgn.. sbolishes all profit from res- taurants, cinemas, theaters and -treeti cars. The political effect is disastrous. killing the prospects of a negotiative gettlement. Many attribute the re- newed belligerent activity to a direct intention to make a compromise im- possible. Government stringency has reached its limit. but it has proved Theftective, and the general public is convinced that the military is incom- petent to handle the situation. 3 The most probable outcome. how- ever, is increased freedom of the mili- tary from such civil control as is maintained. ] they could finish the conquest if there was no interference with their plans. 7 DEAD; 12 WOUNDED. Military officers think Crown Forces Leave Train and‘ Drive Off Rebels. } 1 | By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, March 21.—Seven members of the crown forces. including an officer. were killed and twelve were wounded when a train was ambushed today, ac- cording to official announcement. The attack occurred near Headford Junction, County Kerry. In_addition to the officer who was illed, the train carried twenty-nine men of other ranks in the Royal Fusi- liers and a number of civilians. It was heavily fired on from both sides as it neared the junction, and the troops de- trained and engaged the party. ‘The survivors among the soldiers held off their assailants for fifty minutes, un- til_reinforced by a party of fusiliers ‘which arrived on another train. The combined forces then drove off the rebels. —_— CHOSEN FOR IRISH MEETING.
