TIERN /LELAND SCENE OF RENEWED • A ACKS BY WARRING FACTIONS Since the Beginning of February 51 Protestants and 9 Crown ,• Servants Have Been Murdered in Belfast. • A despatch from Dublin, says:What the Dail characterizes as a reli- gious war has broken out in Southern Ireland. During the past twenty-four hours, eight Protesteete have been -killed,. three:at Dunmanway and five nt Ballineon.

Details of the killings • are meagre, but from what is known it appears -the murder gang had pre.. pareda list of their victims ancnc spent nt at least:two days laying the for the killings. The fact that. the gang operated in automobiles suggests that they Were not. local people. • - Motives for the leleng • are not known, no has hiformetion, been ee- ceived as-th organization, if any, is responsible. Popular opinion, how- ever, ,holds the :incident was reprisal for recent killings of Catholics in Bel - 'fast. Therefore the rumors of a reli- gious vendetta. I Arthur Griffiths in the Dail on Fri - :day, made a vigorous speech, deno,un•c- in,g the outrages and deelaring that I even in the worst days of the Black I and Tans there were no ,auelt hap- . penings, "' h' g en OCS 110 now, las a national government, any distinc- tion between ease or creed," said Griffith. "This government desires to expressthe horror of the Irish ea - tion at the Dunmanway murders." Griffith extended, condolences to relatives of the murdered persons sued moved that the Dail meet from week te week: until such occurrences are stainpe,d out. Heads of the Protestant ecem-nunity in Belfast on Friday night issued a statement declaring that the outrages are -not religious but 'political and ap- pealing to the Catholic bishops to "unite with us in an endeavor to dis- countenance violence by whomsoever committed, and to urge our people to live 111 peace and quiet." . A despatch from Belfast says: - Since February 1, the secretary of the Uletee Unionist- Cbu4ai1 announced. that 51 Protestants and nine Crown servants have been murdered in Bel- fast by Sinn-Feiners.
