Can the Provisional Government Survive?
Rester's Service. )
London, April 7. Gloomy news comes from Ireland, indicating that the situation is worse than ever.
The authority of the Southern Government is waning under the vigorous challenge of Republican extremists, who are openly defying the law, engaging in terrorism which is unchecked and generally destroving the possibility of a free expression of opinion at the forth. coming elections. Mr. Collins' position is regarded as very shaky.
