IRISH MENACE.
TO FIGHT TERRORISM. NEW BRITISH POLICY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyilght. Received May 20, 5.5 p.m. London, May 19. Cabinet, after further consultation vvitli Sir Hamar Greenwood (Chief Secretary for Ireland), Lord French, and General Sir Nevil Macready came to a final determination on the new dual Irish policy. It was decided to use every weapon in the State's armoury in flgnting terrorism, and on the other hand to remove many restrictions imposed on the general community. It was further decided to adopt a more liberal attitude towards sedition unaccompanied by violence, and to abandon indefinite imprisonments without trial. It is estimated that the active terrorists do not exceed 2000, though their sympathisers doubtless number thousands. It is intended to establish military flying columns for maintaining continuous and relentless pursuits of criminals, to secure independent evidence, and execute proved murderers. —Times Service. ATTACK ON POLICEMEN. . Received May 21, 12.20 a.m. London, May 19. An armed party killed a sergeant in a street of Limerick, and mortally wounded a constable.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
