The Sinn Fein incendiaries, who are trying to frighten England,

have extended their operations to the Home Counties. Late on Friday, March 18th, some of these Irish criminals set fire to stockyards at North Cheam, Belmont, Mitcham, and Morden in Surrey and at Bexley in Kent. They used a motor-ear in order to escape. One Irishman was arrested on suspicion. The Inde- pendent Liberals who express such unbalanced sympathy with Sinn Fein in Ireland do not seem to be much concerned at Sinn Fein's doings in England. We shall be told, perhaps, that Irish rebels have a sacred right to burn our corn-stacks.
