There are reports that sympathetic Republican movements have occurred in
various parts of Ireland, and as the attention of the Provisional Government is fastened on events in Dublin, the other movements may give Mr. Collins much trouble. We shall soon see what determination and ability he possesses. Nobody, however, can foresee the end. During the past six months, while Mr. Collins has spoken half-heartedly to his followers, his opponents have spoken with the fury and positive- ness of fanatics. During the attack upon the Four Courts on Wednesday Mr. Rory O'Connor somehow managed to send out a manifesto, from which we quote :-
" The Boys are glorious, and will fight for the Republic to the end. How long will our misguided former comrades outside attack those who stand for Ireland -alone t. Father Albert and Father Dominic are with us here. Our love to all of our comrades outside, and the brave boys of the Dublin Brigade."
