We have seen a record of Sinn Fein activities during

September in one divisional area of Ireland as recorded by unimpeachable observers. The cases are described in detail and there were more than two hundred and fifty of them. It will be remembered that when the truce was arranged the Sinn Feiners undertook to cease all attacks on the Crown forces and police ; to prohibit the use of arms ; to cease all military manoeuvres ; to abstain from interference with public or private property ; and to prevent any action likely to cause a disturbance of the peace. We have also before us several private letters describing the commandeering of property, which seems to be going on more actively than ever before.
