OPECIÁL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
DUBLIN, March 25 (UP)-Seven IRA. prisoners to-day entered the 30th day of their hunger strike in Arbourhill Military Prison as a pro-
Ere Government.
A further protest about the incidents involving test against their imprisonment by the British warships is now he- ing prepared in Oslo.
It is understood that the main complaint against the British warships is that they entered Norwegian waters to intercept German ships. Two or three such incidents are named.
German propogandu is making its usual outery for all the world to hear as though Germany were the only true champion of neutral rights.
No information on the subject is available from official quarters an London, but the Diplomalle Corres pondent of the BBC comments that it seems a le ridiculous that the German wireless and press should take up the subject of Norwegian neutrality.
One would think, he said, that the British and the French were the only people who had never shown any respect for the rights of the neutrals, but seven months of war have left no doubt as to who is the enemy of neutral rights.
There has been no British action, or bombinga ngalost neutrals.

Another story from Germany states that the latest black-out crime is the loss of a 7-cwt sicar roller, Marshal Goering's paper "National Zeitung" каун, - "Nothing is safe nowadays in Germany."
The strikers, weak and emaelated, are fed by Sean MacCurtain, who is awaiting trial for the murder of Detective Juhn Roche In Cork un January 3 this year.
