DISTRIBUTORS SPECIAL CONSTABULARY NOT ASKED TO MOBILIZE Branch of Ulster Police in Annual Training Period, It Is Compe- tently Announced, By the Associated Press. BELFAST, May 2.—Reports that the Ulster government had ordered one of the border sections of its special con- stabulary to prepare for mobiliza- tion have no foundation in fact, it is declared in competent quarters here. The reports, it appears, arose from the circumstance that this spe- cial branch of the Ulster constabu- lary has an annual training period like the British territorials, which now is approaching. There is no sig- nificance apart from this, it is In- sisted, and nothing pertaining to the border situation has anything to do with it. In only one event would the special constables be mobilized, it is stated, and that is in case of a border in- vasion, which has not occurred.
