The following is a list of the more im-
portant operations of the I.R.A. during
the past month. Note that these alone cost
land over half a million dollars, -In
addition to this,there is an as-yet-uncon-
firmed rumour that because of some of the
I.R.A. attacks upon British wharves and
naval supply stores, the port of Southamp-
ton may be closed. Why do not the American
papers print these things? Is it because
of pro-English sympathies that they will
not speak of the I.R.A. activities?

The storm of opposition that followed the
English robbery-by-bayonet cf the American
mails at Bermuda forced the Pan-American
Company to omit Bermuda as a stop on their
trans-Atlantic service and to institute
another run from Port Washington to Ber-
muda to take care of Bermuda-bound pass-
engers.
This move has angered England and she has
threatened to take other steps to stop the
Clipper flights entirely! In reporting
the decision tod rop Bermuda as a stop,the
New York SUN continues that the British
replied that they might be forced "to halt

of mail from the United States to points

in the blockade"!
