Dublin," August 24. Uniformed Blue Shirts appeared openly in the streets in Cootehill, a hundred miles from the City to attend a meeting in the Town Hall where they were addressed by General O'Duffy.

The Palice watched the assembly but did not interfere with them and there were no disturbances. Meanwhile Dublin. is

very quiet.

The machinery of the Miltary Tribunal is ready for action as there is not expected to be any In in the events, probably due to the Government's desire not to make the initial move likely to confer haloes of martyrdom on their opponents or to provoke any disturbances.

The Government has forbidden any raids for arms by the police. and the only move against the National Guards, when the sanc- tions of the Public Safety Act is definitely at state for breathing space, is possibly to induce Army: pensiorers to resign from the Blue Shirts, when it is realised that the least trifling. conviction in a Mili- tary Tribunal might result in the cancellation of their pension. --- Beuter.

The attempt at suppression seems, however, to have made the leaders the more determined in their programme.

General Mulcahy, who is a mem- ber of the Dall Eirrann, and who was formerly in the Cosgrave Government, issued a statement.on behalf of the Blue Shirts, of which. he is a prominent member.

General Mulcahy declares that the the proclamation declaring National Front an illegal orgariisa- tion is part of a deep scheme by Mr. de Valers to intimidate the country into giving him a big ma- jority in the Dall, preparatory to the establishment of an Irish Re- public and a virtual dictatorship.

He suggests that the Govern ment's action is solely mended to give them the scope för intimida. tion of opponents at a new gen- eral election for which Mr. Valera is now preparing, so as to
