A very, bad sign; however, is that the I.R.A. has
launched yet another campaign of terrorism in the Six Counties. The Belfast correspondent of -the Morning' Poet says in Thursday's paper that this was opened simultaneously, in various districts of County Derry. and County, Tyrone. Marauders swept the countryside, leaving .behind -them a trail-of ruined buildings,' desolate homes, and the bodies - of murdered persons. The Ubiter police; both members of the R.1.0.' and the Ulster Special Constables, rallied finely to • the emergency, otherwise the marauders might have done much more damage. On Wednesday- night the police barracks at Mullingar, the largest barracks in the Irish provinces, were blown up. The irregulars, according to an Exchange telegram,-left in- lorries pursued by the regulars. At present -it is not clear who was responsible for blowing up the barracks. In any case. it was an incident in the civil war between the rival factions.
