IRISH REBELLION.

A POLITICAL BOG.

LONDON, May 16. The Observer, reviewing the anarchy in Ireland, declares that the position of the southern loyalists has become unbearable. Women and children are arriving in England "Like Russian refugees. Moreover, the extremists have extended their outrages into Ulater. It is becoming hard to If sinnteinism gres a stap further there the restrain the covenanters.

Meanwhile the paper opines. that covenanters will crush it at all costs. Ministers are considering the alternatives of intensive military activities and maritime, and an economic policy whereby a cordon would be drawn across Ireland cutting off the disaffected interior, removing therefrom every loyalist. Thereafter the area would be utterly ignored until it came to its senses. There would be no police, no troops, no trade, no education, no distribution of revenue, no rallways, and a complete administrative boycott, while the loyalists should be ensured against losses until they could be returned.

.

It is reported from another source that martial law will be proclaimed in Ireland shortly. A drastic plan of campaign is materialising. Re- inforcements from England are to be rushed over. Lord French had audience with the King yesterday morning.

MESOPOTAMIAN OIL.

MOTOR VEHICLES.

'BUSES AND TRUCKS.

The opening up of new" motor roads around the island of Victoria, in Kowloon, and in British New Territory, has been the main cause of the sudden jump in the number of motor vehicles in use here.

Our colonial Fire Department early fell into line and the success of its motor service is unquestionable. In

a place where there are practically

no animal-drawn vehicles to be dis placed, the introduction of mechanical means of land transportation is inevitable.

We already have had a brief glimpse of motor bus service. the Dragon Motor Car Company having had four in service running out to Repulse Bay.
