Tlie IJrltlsh Government may have te consider H-hethcr It will be possible te draw n cordon of Imperial troops between the starring elements en th Ulster frontier, Winsten Churchill, the Colonial Secre tary, edited in. the Heuse of Commens 'riic situation In Ireland Is (jelng from tad te uewc, and Is such that some trifling incident might draw the rival farces Inte n conflict which would shat ter all prospects of peace in Ireland; says the Dublin correspondent of the Time. "The tragic Irenv of -the situation." no adds, "consists In the fnct that the rust majority of Irishmen of nil put tic deplore the danger, but seem unable te avert It. l'nch side dally takes some measure of defense which It regards ns legitimate, but which produces prompt rctnllntlen from the ether side, with the result that political passions arc Inten sified and the pleadings of common sense fall te And hearing. "The chief cause of resentment en the northern side of the border Is the PTltcnee there of organized forces of the Irish itcpubiican army, which the Northern Government insists must lf .part or be expelled befere there enn be an talk of peace. "On the ether hand, the Southern Nationalists cliilm the right te pietcct the Catholic minorities In the Northeast by every means In their power. They believe the Northern police cannot be trusted te act Impartially, "It is notorious that certain sections ef the Irish Itepubllcan Army de net necessarily take orders from Dublin, and that raids of armed Itepubllcana Inte the Northern area occur at times." Wbile the Northerners refuse te be lieve order will ever be mn4ntulued in the Seuth, the attitude of either side Is looked upon ns' pregnant with a thou and menaces efs disaster. The Times correspondent contends that the only ) thing neccbsary te acrt n calamity .Is I a frank exchange of views by the two Governments, but this una net jet been aiiciiiHi'u.

It was elhchilly announced here today that tin Irish Itepubllcan Army convention, the holding of which was recently for bidden b) Arthur Griffith, president of the Dull Kireann, would be held In Dublin Sunday, as arranged. The an nouncement h taken here te mean that a definite split in the Itepubllcan Army has come. According te Cemmaudant Rederick O'Connor, director of engineering of the hendiiunrteru staff of the Irish Re publican Army, 80 per cent of the nrinj's lm-nibers believe the uriny has been "let down," nnd that the Dull ' Kireann hns been false te the Ropubll Republl irii enth by agreeing te acccpftthe 111 111 fluslen of Ireland within the British Empire. O'Connor said the army convention had been originally summoned with the appieval of Richard Mulcahy, new Minister of Defense in the Dall Cabi net. He said the intention wns te restore te the army Its old volunteer constitution, under which It elected its own executive. The constitution wus abandoned when the Dall Elrcanu was establishment ns the republican gev em -jnent nnd the army swore allegiance te It a 8 such. Mulcahy, declared O'Connor, hud Pledged himself In the Dall te maintain the army as a republican organization. Jut the pledge had been violated by the invitations given the members of the ami) te form the nucleus of the army of the rrcc State, which O'Connor de- ireii subverted the Republic. lie Mid the army convention would be held euiHlay, ns there was no Government in Ireland at present te which the urmj owed allegiance. A resolution would he submitted te the convention, said O'Connor, renew ing allegiance te the Jrlsh Republic ynil establishing an executive entitled te "win orders te the Irish republican tlHi' wl!lc'1' would then repudiate con trol by the Dall.
