SECKET REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,

Lakboy, High 26. Two hundred delegates from throbdicate-com- mands in all parts of Ireland, mogły young men not in uniform and with the appearance of country lads, at tended a convention of the IRA. held at the Madison Hoare in Dublin "o-day in spite of the prohibitin, of the Dail Eireann cabinet. A score of men format a cordon round the building but the authorities do not attempt to interfers. The sessies lasted all day. The utmost secrecy" was maintaised.

A powerful secession from the LR.A. appears in- evitable in view of the Defence Minister's announcement! that any men participating will be dismissed from the army. The fact that the Provisional Government as powerless to prevent the convention seems to justify the boast of the Republican commandant, O'Connor, that after the convention there will be five armies in Island, Zamely the Free State Army, the Civic Goard, and the Republican, the British and the Northern Armies.

DRASTIC BOYCOTT.

LONDON, March 27,

The I.R.A. cotvention confirmed the maintenance of the Republican army ander an executive of sixteen members and decided to enforce a drastic boycott of the six northern counties.
