IRELAND'S 'WAR.

Londas, July 1.

The newspapers, generally, are more cheerful with regard to the prospects in Ireland in view of the capture of thả garrison of the Four Courts, which, it is stated, have been entirely destroyed along with the archives contained therein; but as Mr. Churchill remarked in the House of Commons, "better a State without archives than archives without a State."

Referring to the participation of the Industrial Workers of the World in the Dublin fighting, Mr. Churebill scomfally described them as a "jackal rabble.” He was of the opinion that the Pro- visional Government would not have much difficulty in subduing them.

Two thousand Free State troops participated in the final assault on the Four Courts. It is stated that there were no fatalities among the garrison of the Four Courts. The Free Staters are now tackling the problem of clearing out the rebel nest in Dublin.

According t one report the captured rabel leaders appealed to the Irregulars in other buildings to surrender and three rebel outposts offered to surrender; but on the other hand Irregulars took passession of a block of buildings in Sackville Street, including the Post Office.

A meeting of the Provisional for today, is postponed until July 15th,

casualties were not great. The Irregulars surrendered uncia- ditionally after destroying all arms, the prisoners numbering 149. The total prisoners taken during two days' fighting were 170. including many well-known leaders. The casualties wmong the National troops were three killed and 55 wo@aded.

The Postmaster General anabances that the mail service to South and West Ireland suspended from and to the United Kingdom.

Liam Lynch, rebel Chief of Staff. has issued an army order at Mallow, declaring that a plan of action is being carried out to secare the complete estrel of West and South Ireland for the Republic.

The fate of the three British officers kidnapped at Macroom on April 22nd is now beyond doubt, states the Ulster Asciation. It appears that the I.R.A. hanged them to a tree.

Londes, July 1. Free Staters suddenly appeared in motor stations between Strabane and Lindonderry and rounded

cars at railway Irregulars who had been holding up trains and seizing goods. Traders are now informed that the line is free and that the normal despatch of goods may be resumed. Numerous Irregulars in the Carrigan District, as a consequence of the Free Staters operations, deserted and went to Londonderry, where considerable influx

of National troops captured Finner Camp, the Headquarters of the Donegal irregulars, after a two hours' fight, in which two rebels were killed. Only 50 prisoners were taken, indicating wholesal desertions, as the camp was recently occupied by hundreds of men.

Irregulars at East Donegal have retired to Inch Island in i Leigh Swilly, whither they are conveying provisions, preparatory twithstanding a siege.

Irregulars took possession of Listowel and Drogheda railway station. Sporadic fighting, destruction of buildings and bridges, commandeering of supplies and motors are reported all over the country. The Nationsis have effected numerous arrests.

London, July 1.

It is stated that the total casualties at Dublin up-to-date are 40 killed and 180 wounded, including stidiers and civilians.

Since the commencement of the battle, nearly 300 Irregulars have been captured, which is estimated to be a third of the Irregular forces in Dublin; but it is reported that reinforcemeats are arriving from the Provinces. Irregulars have blocked the streets with comman- deered vehicles, isolating an area of three quarters of a mile in the centre of the city. T-day is comparatively quiet; but the tele- graphic and telephonic isolation of Dublin renders news from the Provinces unreliable.

Landes, July 2

Expectations of an attack on the Irregulars stronghold in Dublin have hitherto not been realised. The delay is believed to be due to the efforts of the Lord Mayor and Archbishop Byrne to induce the Irregulars to evacuate peaceably the position, in order to avoid wholesale destruction of property.

Meanwhile. Mr. Collins in an interview declared he would not rest until the people's authority was established.

A further surrender of Irregulars was made last night. The number is at present unknown.

One of the three British soldiers wounded in an attack on a lorry by Irregulars died. The other two are in serious condition.

As regards the provinces, the heaviest fighting has been at Drogheda, where the rebels are holding Millmount barracks. diminating the town. Large Free State forces have invested Inch Iland Lough Swilly) and intend to starve the Irregulars out. There are several kidnapped Loyalists prisoners on the Island

The Republicans claim that Free State troops at List:wel, Crunt Kerry, and West Limerick have joined the rebels.

Sokolnikoff said that com- mercial credits were needed to enable the co-operative societies to supply the peasants with means to bring grain to the towns and banking credits were needed to support the new issue of notes of the Russian State Bank. He concluded that if Russia was not restored then no creditor could hope to see much of his money back. When the disturbance caused by M. Sokolnikoff's remark sub Aided M. Litvinoff promised further details and demands and to present a list of the concessions the Soviet Govern:ent willing to grant. He submitted a questionnaire, asking for in- formation regarding the actual bendholders, their claims, etc. The Russian delegation subsequently announced that M. Litvinoff's Sgures were the irreducible minimams The consensus of opinion of many experts is that the Russians

cannot suppose that enough money can be procured to enable reconstruction to be completed in a few years and think that the Russians have not the smallest chance of obtaining their total demands and that the grant of smaller credits will depend on the confidence the Soviets can inspire in the financiers. It is believed that the Conference will last three months..

In the Chamber the Minister of Finance has announced that the negotiations with the Consortium Banks have resulted in the adoption of the plan for the re-organisation of the Industrial Bank

of China.

1. Barthou, Minister of Justice, has issued the following reply in the Official Gazette to 31. Archimbaud. Deputy for Drome, who asked him to publish the names of the members of Parliament who had drawn salaries from the Banque Industrielle de Chine: "Inves- tigations rest with the Juge d'instruction, who has not yet com- pleted his teak and which he is carrying out with entire indepen dence. The Minister of Justice, who has to see that justice is equal for all, does not finch from any consequences; but he has neither, the right nor the means to make the publication in question."

M. Archambaud, in view of this reply, has now tabled in the Chamber a private motion calling for the appointment of a Commis sion of Inquiry, with judicial powers to elucidate fully this politico- financial #fair.
