I
FEARED IN IRELAND
London. April 1. (L N. S.)
Britsh warships have anchored in
the harbor at Belfast, according to
a dispatch to the Star today.
Dublin, April 1. f I. K. S.) Ireland
Is rapidly being plunged into actual
revolution, according to Jill indications.
The air Is electric with suppressed ex
citement. Rumors are freely circulated
that the republicans may launch another
revolt next week similar to that of 1916.
Official cognizance has' been taken of
these rumors by the British government.
Large masses of British troops have been
concentrated at strategic points through
'out Southern Ireland as a precautionary
measure. ,
Sinn Fein leaders declare that it is be
coming more and more difficult to re
strain I heir followers. These leaders
claim that but for their discipline, Ire
land might be today in a death struggle
the like of which has never been known
before in this country.
Sinn Fein leaders emphatically deny
that any band of extremists has broken
from the Sinn Fein ranks and is com
mitting terrorist outrages a- Intimated
by certain London newspapers. They
deny w,ith etiual vfftor that any vertdetta
of "Klu Klux Klan" nature exists
against ajy of the leaders, as was sug
p ested by the story that the late Lord
Mayor Thomas McCurtain of Cork was
inurdered by men from the ranks of his
cwn society.
In refuting stories of the alleged ven
detta the Sinn Fein leaders point to the
fact that the British military authorities
which raided McCurtain's home imme
diatelyt after death carried a warrant
for his arrest. It was declared that
t'.e British government as well as the
SinnKelnera knew McCurtain to be one
oi the ablest republican leaders in South
Ireland.

Some Kick 5Against
All Public Service,
Protest of Stovall
Salem. April 1. -If the Oregon pub
lie service commission has undertaken
to settle all the personal and class dif
ferences involved in the various prob
lems brought before that body it might
as well quit now and leave the task for
Saint Peter to finish. That, at least,
is the opinion of Dennis H. Stovall, well
known short story writer who makes h,8
home at Philomath, Bemon county.
Stovall's opinion of the task before
the state regulatory body Is expressed in
a letter relative to the controversy now
being waged between the owner and
patrons of the Philomath Telephone com
pany. "I'm Inclined to think that nine tenths
of the fuss being made over telephones
here in the city of brotherly love is due
to the everlasting desire of home folks
to kick against everything that is offered
In the way of pubiic tervice," Stov.i'.l
writes. "The main troub: is that we
have been getting our phon; service for
nothing and when the price was rais?d
then a howl went up."
