Londen, April 14.

Da Valera has issued a manifesto to the "Soldiers of the Republic, Bulwarks of the Nation's Honour and Independence," exhorting them to renew their pledges of devotion to the cause for which Liam Lynch gave his life. "Your task is hard and sad. You have to fing your- selves across the path of stampede of a nation; but the cause la im- mortal. Its ultimate triumph is certain."

The Republican Finance Minister, Austin Stack, has been cap- tured in the mountains south of Clonmel.

Despite a close saarch by thousands of troops, assisted by aero- planes, of the Tipperary and Waterford mountain area, De Valers escaped.

Dublia, April 14.

National troops operating from Lismore, as part of the big drive through the Knockmealdown mountains, found Austin Stack alone and anarmed in a field near the tiny village of Dyrick, two miles south-west- of Ballinamult. Stack, who did not attempt to resist capture, was removed to Clonmel, where he is now a prisoner.

The capture of Austin Stack and discovery of the document is described by Frea Staters as the final hammer blow.

Stack was one of the best political brains in the Republican move- ment, but he remained a mystery man. The death of Liam Lynch removed the dictator standing between despair and peace.

an army on the verge of

The movement was inspired by the reason that it was known that a determined peace move, piloted by Stack, was on the eve of being brought to a conclusion. Stack, evidently realising the futility of prolonging the condict, may have been responsible finally for a clear move baving a semblance of effect of surrender without ignominy. giving himself up to the Free Staters.

Stack's capture removes the prop supporting the Irregular move- ment, and it may well be that the end of the struggle has arrived. De Valera's flamboyant manifesto seems to be an attempt to rally the courage of despair.

THE IRISH BUDGET.

London, April 14.

The Free State Rudget was introduced by Mr. Cosgrave in the Dail. It shows no alteration in taxation, and import duties remain. but preference will be investigated. The revenue for the year ended 31st March totalled £28,000.000; but the Exchequer issues for the main- tenance of the public services, although not necessarily all expended, amounted to £2,333.000 more, which, together with 197,000 in hand, has been borrowed. The revenue total is subject to modification owing to Anglo-Irish financial adjustments. The balance threatens to be substantially against the Free State.

The estimated revenue for the forthcoming year is £26,500,000. and expenditure £45.500,000. Extensive borrowing will therefore be necessary.

The President concluded in an optimistic note, that the revende would be able to cover all commitments as the country settled down from the irregulars' exhausted attacks.

Giving an example of the "system of" collection by the Customs, President Cosgrave said that tea coming into the Free State would no longer pay duty in London, but on landing at a Free State port.

INDIAN BORDER TRAGEDY.

Rawal Pindi, April 4.

It is reported from Kohat on the North-western Frontier that Afridi raiders breke into a bungalow occupied by British officers and murdered Mrs. Eilis. wife of the District Staff Officer, and abducted her fifteen-year-old daughter.

THE FRENCH SITUATION.

Paris, April 15. A conference decided the inadvisability of presently initiating discussions with Britain on account of the widely differing viewpoints with the Franco-Belgian representatives. A reparations commission will shortly seek to establish a basis for a reparations settlement scheme. but do not intend to deviate from the 1921 schedule of payments,
