The telegram added that Duner's tes

Amplifying hi telegram in a vebal
statement, Tyler declared he was not ac

The Westminster Gazette thinks that
"the very poverty of de Valera 's alter

possibility that, in the attempt at a

and looks to Arthur Griffith, in such a

confident that the country would over
