The Sinn Fein outrages in Ireland continue. At midnight on
Thursday week a Sinn Fein gang entered the post office at Limerick, cowed the clerks with revolvers, and stole £1,600, which was to be used for paying old-age pensions. Last Saturday night several small police barracks near Cork were attacked by bodies of armed men. At Carrigtwohill the barracks were besieged for four hours. When the policemen had fired their last cartridge, the assailants blew down the wall of the barracks with an explosive, rushed in, and took the six policemen away as prisoners. In County Clare the same night a police patrol was ambushed and escaped only by using hand grenades. It is -clear that the Irish Government, who control the police, have not even yet taken the measure of this anarchical conspiracy. Order must be restored at all costs, for the sake of the vast majority of law-abiding Irishmen as well as for the sake of the United Kingdom.
