TWELVE ARMY OFFICERS SHOT DEAD IN DUBLI

SIMULTANEOUS ATTACKS.

DESTRUCTION OF INCREMINATING EVIDENCE THE MOTIVE.

LONDON, November 21.

A dozen men said to be ex-officers and officers living out of barracks were shot dead in Dublin this morning. Two officers were killed at the Gresham Hotel. Captain Newberry was shot dead at his residence. Three men were shot at another house. Two are dead and one is dying.

A simultaneous attack was made on Army officers living in lodgings outside the barracks. Four officers were shot in one house, three in a second house, and two in another, whilst a retired officer, Major Fitzgerald, was shot dead in his own house by three men, and another officer was killed in the street.

The procedure of the other raids was very similar, bat in the case of the Gresham Hotel, where two officers were murdered, fifteen armed men

·held up the Lotel staff with revolvers and forced the porter to take the party to the cfficers' bedrooms. In another case three men were taken out into the back yards and shot there. Sometimes the gang interrogated the victims first and ransacked the rooms, destroying what was understood to be incriminating evidence against Sinn Feiners.

SIGNIFICANT.

LONDON, November 21.

A significant change of attitude towards Sim Fein has occurred at Galway hitherto one of the strongest Sinn Feis districts in Ireland. The Galway County Council has decided officially to repudiate the suthority of Dail Eireann and to comply with the requirements of the Local Government Baard in defiance of the Republican Parliament's "decrees."

A Moscow wireless message records that the former has received a bad drabbing. The Reds have captured Proskuroff, an important town the east of the old Galician border.

LONDON, November 21.

The Armenians are in a terrible plight, although the capture of the Capital, Erivan, has not yet been confirmed. The Turkish Nationalists, doubtless encouraged by the news from Greece, have denounced the previous armistice and presented another containing impossible conditions. Lord Robert Cecil has promised to bring the matter urgently before the League Assembly at Geneva.

BATHING BEACHES.

(To the Editor of the "China Mail."I

Meris sana in corpore sano salusest, in defiance of which our only two bathing beaches will shortly have to be reluctantly given over to commer cial economies, unless we can save them.

Isn't it great, this economical talk, in't it a wonderful piece of polemical ggery-pokery this study of economy at the other man's expense.

These bathing beaches, where any man, woman or child can get a free dip in God's own disinfectant, which are more of a necessity than parks and the gardens that surround the taipans, most go (because they are no use to the taipans) to make room commercial expansion ie. for dividends, motor cars, and polo ponies for the lords of commerce.

But, my lords, what of epidemics, plague and quarantine, will they encourage commerce?

Neither of these beaches lends itself to commercial pursuits by reason of the shallow water that led to its selection, nor is either of them backed by suitable terrain for exter sire commercial undertakings, and even if both of them were is it not the height of selfishness that these few yards of sandy foreshore out of the 20 or more miles of the coastline of the island should have to be sacrificed for the benefit of the few rather than used to confer the greatest good, an the greatest number.

No Sir, let the commercial magnates look round and find a better 'ole and keep their hands off out children's best playground.

Yours, etc.
