For a generation England has sought to confer benefits on Ireland and to redrew old injuries. Is Kngland to blame for the quarrels or Irishmen? The. abstention of so many Irish from tho war seems to us unintelligible- and monstrous."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. ! A MONEY PANIC ENGINEERED BY SINN FEIN. London, May 7. Thero is a shortage of silver in many towns in tho south-west of Ireland. This is due to a Sinn Fein campaign. The loaders put about ft rumour that the Government intonded to repudiato the ]>ound and ton-shilling notes. Immediately tho poorer classes invaded tho shops nnd tendered notes for purchases which woro of ton worth only a fow pence, lne panic continues, and business is greatly i hampered.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn.
