IRISH SITUATION GOING
FROM BAD TO WORSE
London, March £2.—The situation
on the border between Ulster and
South Ireland Is going from bad to
worse, and is such that some trifling
Incident may draw tho rival forces
into a conflict which will shatter ail
prospects of peace in Ireland, says
the Dublin correspondent of the
Times.
"The tragic irony of the situa-tion,"
he adds, "consists In the fact
that the vast majority of Irishmen
of all parties deplore the danger, bu*.
seem unable to avert it. Each sidV
daily takes some measure of de-fense
which it regards as legitimate
but^which produces prompt retalia-tion
from the other side, with th>
result that political paeslons are in-tensified
and the pleacings of com-mon
sense fall to find hearing."
