IRELAND.
INCENDIARY FIRES.: STRIKE OF POLICE. By Telegraph.—Fress Assn.—Copyright, London, August 23. . A large part of Lisburn, near Belfast • (where Inspector Swanzy was shot) was burned down owing to the spreading of ineenaiary fires. Included were business premises owned by local Unionists. A large number of women workers are unable to work. Nationalist women in Lisburn were required to sign a declaration that they were not Sinn Feiners and weie loyal to King George before they were allowed to go into the factories. All declined to do so. Archbishop Mannix, after visiting the Lord Mayor of Cork in Brixton Prison, stated that Mr. MeSweeney was very prostrated, but all arguments to induce him to take food failed. A. party of Irish constabulary in the Dublin depot refused to handle arms, saying they did not wish to be used as a military body to put down the political opinion of the people. They were told that the matter would be inquired into. The constabulary took off their uniforms, donned civilian clothes and left the barracks.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
