Addressing the R.LC. in the Phoenix Park to-day, Sir Hamar Green-out waiting for the liquidation of her right wood said that the British Government was behind them. He referred to the number of policemen killed and barracks destroyed, and said that some newspapers had greatly exaggerated the reprisals, many of which were simply acts of self-defence.

A Havas message says: The chief features of the German report which is soon to be delivered to the Inter national Financial Conference at Brussels are known and are causing but a moderate stir, for behind an imposing array of figures lurks the same old crafty plea to awaken pity, and eventually to exacs a re vision of the Venaille Treaty under a threat of wholesale bankruptcy.
