WELL ARMED BRITISH TROOPS NOW FACE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY UPON BORDER OF

ULSTER AND FREE STATE; PETTIGOE TAKEN SOUTHERN IRISH OUSTED

FROM CHIEF POSITIONS IN ULSTER TERRITORY

British Forces Well Supplied With Artil-. lery and Form Contrast to Special

Ulster Constabulary.

ated Press.)—Infantry, cavalry, artil­lery and whippet tanks took part in the first offensive action of the Brit­ish troops on the Ulster borderland early this afternoon, when Pettigoe, which s t raddles the line, though a large part of the town is in Free State terr i tory, was stormed and re­taken from troops of the Ir ish repub­lican^ anny , who entered on May 30.

Reports from Belfast describe the border countryside as swarming with khaki, while the British general di­rects the operations from headquar­ters on a hill outside the town.

When it became evident tha t the British, were moving in force against Pettigoe, the Sinn Feiners began to withdraw; consequently there was little res is tance to part ies of sol-fliers in motors and on foot who dashed through the town short ly after noon. It is semiofficially announced that the republicans suffered fairly heavy lgsses, but the sole casualty on the rrorfhern side was the dr iver of a motor car.

CRISIS "DELIBERATELY FAKED " FOR POLITICAL PURPOSE, CHARGE

London Daily News Declares Provocation Comes From Ulster Side of Border—Feeling in Ulster Embittered by Murder of Mag­

istrate Flanagan Whose Life Had Repeatedly Been Threat­ened Because of Sentences Imposed—Shot in Cathedral

—Ammunition Taken From Steamer From N. Y.

London, June 5.—(Associated Press).—A steamer bound from New York for Fenit, County Kerry, with corn and a mixed cargo, was held up in Trales Bay by a British sloop, says a dispatch to the Press Association from Trales today. A large quantity of am­munition in barrels was seized, the dispatch states.

British troops have driven the Sinn Fein invaders from their • main positions in Ulster territory and a large part of the border [ between Northern and Southern Ireland now is virtually a battle I front. The village of Pettigoe on the Fermanagh-Donegal border

was recaptured from the Sinn Fein invaders yesterday and the I Southern forces also are reported to have evacuated Belleek, ten I miles to the southwest. j The "discrepancy between the offi­

cial communique with its s ta tement of t h ree Sinn Feiners killed and one

I Lewis gun captured and the more de­tailed press reports of the Britis.i s torming the place and inflicting "heavy losses" has yet to be recon­ciled. c

Faced By Well Armed Troops. The mili tary have taken over much

of t he boundary line and the Sinn Fe iners now face seasoned and well armed troops equipped with artillery, instead of the special Uls ter constab-uary men .

London newspapers refrain from commenting upon the situation but the Daily News, basing its information on a dispatch from its correspondent from Ennisskjllen, said today under its biggest headline that the crisis has been deliberately faked for political purposes and that the provocation to war comes from the Ulster side of the border.

The Daily Herald pr ints a repo-t from Chatham that several warships are about to leave there for an un-

f known destination believed to be Ire­land and that the town is filled with naval men under instruct ions not to leave port.

Magistrate Flanagan's Murder. News dispatches lrom Ulster de­

clare feeling there has been emblt-i tered by the murder of M a g i s t r a l Flanagan, which caused a great sen­sation. The victim had lately sen­tenced many offenders under the fire arms act and had often been threat­

e n e d but had ignored the threats . He was accompanied by his s i s te r to th? cathedral at Newry where the shoot­ing took place. She seized one as­sailant but he threw her off and es caped with his companions in an au­tomobile into LOUgfi County, which u Free S ta te territory and where they consequently could not be pursued by the Nor thern authorit ies.

Much attention is focussed on the question of the proposed Irish con sti tution and its allied issues. Premier Lloyd George is expected to arr ive from Wales tonight in readiness to meet the Irish representat ives who, R is believed, will return tomorrow. Re­sumption cf the negotiat ions Is ex­pected immediately after thei r arrival.

Details of Pettigoe's Capture. Belfast, June 5. (Associated Press.)

—Authent ic details of the capture of Pet t igoe show that a Bri t ish staff of­ficer entered the village at noon yes­terday and gave the republicans hold­ing t h e town fifteen minutes to leave. Some Immediately departed, but about 100 decided to oppose the mili tary.

At t he expiration of the t ime limit, the Bri t ish crossed the bridge leading into the village and were received with machine gun and rifle fire. Then the Bri t ish artil lery came into action and when the first shell landed on a hill behind the town some of the more timid of the defenders dashed for safety. Four more shells fol­lowed In quick succession and one, s t r iking In the middle of a par ty of the re t rea t ing Sinn Fe iners , inflicted several casualties. Troops, which had been landed secretly from Boa Island, in Lough Erne , during the night, took the republicans in the rear, but several managed to escape through their superior knowledge of the country.

It la officially stated tha t but one member of the crown forces was killed. Seven republicans a r e known to have been killed, while sixteen were m a d e prisoners, including the commandant .

It is understood tha t Belleek, ten miles southwest of Pet t igoe, is still held by the republicans, but tha t Mag-heramena Castle has been evacuated. There i t considerable In teres t here regarding the fate of t he Belleek tort, the holding of which by the re­publicans practically renders the bar­rack t h e r e untenable.

OYERSEERS TO TAKE DP JEWISHJUESTION MAY SETTLE QUESTION OF LIM­

ITING STUDENT BODY RE­CENTLY RAISED.

Cambridge, Mass., June 5. (Associ­ated Press . )—The question of limit­ing enrollment of students a t Harvard College, which in some quar te rs has been said to involve an intention to restrict the number of Jews to be ad­mitted h t r ea f t e i , was expected to come before the board of overseer.* to the universi ty today. The board includes in i ts membership of thir­ty some of the most notable men in the country. I t was not understood that the meet ing was called specially to consider the subject of limitation or selection of enrollment but It was understood the meeting was likely to devOta its a t tent ion largely to that question as one of the most important to the college which has called for action in many years.

The development of the question nts to the present stage has been fairly well outlined. It appears that a group of s tudents , some of them Jews , at a meeting several months ago, dis­cussed the part lha t the large number of undergraduates of that race pres­ent at the college was playing in its life. This number has been esti­mated at 18 to 20 per cent. The meeting made certain representat ion to the faculty.

Subsequently the problem of in­creasing enrollment, came up. Th? faculty voted to authorize President Lowell to appoint a special commit­tee to consider principles and meth­ods for more effectively sifting candi­dates for admission.

In a discussion of the problem, n spokesman for the university, answer­ing a specific question, said tha t in considering such a wide problem It was na tura l tha t there should be talk about the proportion of J ews a t the college.

A day or two la ter two orders were Issued by t h e Massachuset ts House of Representat ives calling for an inquiry of the proposed new plan for enroll­ment with a view of determining whether it involved discrimination against Jews . The sessions of the board of overseers are executive.

Manchester to Jeer Those Who Would Enter—-Out of 13,000 Nor. mally Employed Only 110 Return to Coolidge Mills.

Manchester, N. H., June 5. (Asso­ciated Press . )—The gates of six of the cotton mills of New Hampshire were open today for the first time in three months. When the whistle blew calling 30,000 to work, thousands were near the mills, but only scanty hundreds responded, according to observers.

There were demonstrations at all the mills, but without disorders. Tlie str ike began on February 13, as a pro­test aaginst a wage reduction of 20 per cent, and an increase from 48 to 54 hours in working schedules.

At the Coolidge mills of the Amos-keag Manufacturing Company, one of the principal interests affected by the strike, only 110 workers out of the 13,000 normally employed entered the mill gates. The biggest, picket line since the inception of the strike was present, notwithstanding a police rul­ing that only two pickets should be on duty. Thousands of strike sym­pathizers filled the streets for a mile on either side of the mill and would-b workers were jeered and hooted.

Chief of Police M. J. Healy ar res ted Frank A. Foy, son of a police ser­geant, and Dervard Healy on a charge of inciting to riot.

A handful of str iking employes of tho Pacific mills a t Dover appeared to resume work. They went into the mills, but walked out. again soon aft­erwards, and the mill gates wore shut once more.

More than a thousand str ikers pa­raded the business section of Dover bearing placards.

At Nashua, N . H., where mill No. 1 of the Nashua company and t h e sheeting mills of tire JaclrsOn plant were reopened, comparatively few operatives returned.

The Great Fal ls mill at Somers-worth also was said to have had only a scanty response to the announce­ment of reopening. Agent Stiles said the mill would continue to opera te , however.
