PREMIER'S STATEMENT
London, To-day.
London, To-day. Scotland Yard detectives have been carrying out raids at the known haunts of Irishmen in Lon- don and claim to be on the track of the men responsible for the outrages.
The outrage at Victoria station is said to have been committed by a woman terrorist, who is known to have played a prominent part in the I.R.A. organisation.

EXPULSION IDEA RESENTED
Rome, To-day.
Replying to comments of the French press upon the emigration of Germans from Tyrol, Signor Gayda, writing in the semi-official "Giornale d'Italia" yesterday, de- clares that there could be no ques- tion of expulsions but only of volun- tary re-settlement, protected and assisted by the two governments.
It is, however, natural, Signor Gayda says, that "Germans would want to settle again on the other side of Bernero on the old earth from whence they come, since to day the whole German na- tion is united in one Reich where the constructive forces of National Socialism are giving all possibility of a quiet, indus- trious life."-Trans-Ocean,
