Zurich Herald, 1921-02-03, Page 3MILITARY GOVERNOR OF IRELAND DEALS
STERNLY WITH CORK SINN FEINERS
Military Dynamited Six Build ings as Reprisal for Attack on
Crown Troops—Curfew Order Forbids, Citizens -to Walk
Streets on Saturdays and. Sundays After Nightfall.
t. despatch from London says: -•The
military dynamited six buildings on
Washington Street,. in the City of
Cork, Ireland, as sets of official re-
prisal, including two houses where
two members of the Royal Web. Con-
stabulary were attacked, on Saturday.
The destruction of the six business
establishments followed within forty-
eight hours of General Strickland's
earning that .he would rule Ireland
with a harsher hand unles"s` all attacks
upon. the Crown forces ceased at once.
,,.
The ntiltary* officials assert that on
Saturday night while they were escort-
ing an ambulance containing wounded
inen to a hospital they were fired upon
:from houses in Washington street
and also from street corners. The
houses selected for destruction are
said to have been occupied by well-
known Sinn Fein sympathizers who
were given a warning to clear otit.
• They were permitted to remove their
furniture and then tnilitery,engineers
prepared for the demolition of the
drawn revolvers ordered the large
`.crowd that had gathered to disperse,
saying that otherwise it would be
fired on. All this afternoon explosions
reverberated through the city as the
troops methodically razed the houses,
driving the people of the stricken city
into panic.
The premises which were destroyed
iticluded Higgins' saloon, Miss Ma-
hony's stationery store, the West-
bourne fruit store, M•aearis' restaurant
and Murphy's saloon.
The police also held up and searched
all the employes of Dwyer's huge
wholes -ale drapery concern.
While the explosions were proceed-
ing and striking new terror to the
hearts of the people of Cork, Strick-
land dealt another blow to the: citizens
by ordering that curfew shall begin'
at five o'clock oil 'Saturdays and Sun-
days. -
This means that- henceforth no
peple will be unwed on the streets on
rest days after nightfall. The order
is a heavy blow to .business of all
buildings. Meanwhile officers- with kinr.s.
ALARMED AT INDIA
MILITARY RY SITUATION
Proposed Army Reduction is
Causing Much Uneasiness.
A despatch from London says:—A
Reuter deep ,itch from Delhi says:
"Much uneasiness prevails at the
moment in the Indian army at the
decision of the -Government to demob-
ilize about a dozen Indian cavalry and
over thirty Indian infantry regiments.
This means that about 30,000 men and
2,500 British officers will be dis-
charged from the service by the end
of March, It i:, also believed probable
that the British forces in India Will
be reduced by the sending home of two
British cavalry and of four British
infantry battalions.
"These measures are being adopted
partly because the great war is ended
and
p by owing to the withdrawal of
troops from Mesopotamia and to the
bad financial outlook in the country
and the . consequent growing Indian
outcry at heavy army expenditures:
Tho Government of India is now con
sidorint ways and means of meeting
the heavy Budget -deficit which seems
inevitable, owing to the fall in ex- eive to results.
change and severe trade depression." The best opinion is that the Presi-
The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial dent ,already has indicated to the Al -
headed "Are We Giving Up India?" lies that he may take up the boundary
question with Turkey. This Govern-
ment previously has advised the Allies
that, as the United States assisted in
the defeat of Turkey, it has the right
to be heard on any treaty settlement
by the Allies with Turkey which .in-
volves partition or rearrangement of
territory. That includes Armenia,

It says the reduction of the Indian

Viceroy's military advisers.
"These responsible authorities,' it
says, "are entirely opposed to any

regarded with equal disfavor by the

officials of the Indian Civil Service.
