REPRISAL FEARED
THREATENED BOMBING IN SYDNEY POLICE GUARD AT ST. MARYS CATHEDRAL SYDNEY, Feb. 10. A police guard has been placed at St. Marys Cathedral following a threat to bomb it. The threat was made to the Archbishop of Sydney, Most Rev. Michael Kelly, in an anonymous letter which stated that the bombing was to be a reprisal for bomb outrages in England. The writer declared that his intended action was directed against the Irish people. Although the police are inclined to believe that the letter was sent by an irresponsible person they adopted very extensive precautions. All wireless patrols and police cars were ordered to keep the cathedral under surveillance.
