Dispatches Thomas MacCurrin, lord mayor of Thomas MacCurtain, lord mayor of Cork, to have produced an intense, if subdued sensation throughout Ireland This tragedy, says the London Times correspondent in Dublin, closed one of the blackest weeks since the rebellion of 1916. He gives a long list of outrages in various parts of the island, including five murders of policemen and others, and an attempt to kill Professor Stockley of Cork. The motive of the murder of the lord mayor continues as mysterious as ever. No arrests have been reported, nor, so far as known, have any clues to the perpetrators been obtained. Among the theories advanced is one that Mac Curtrin was murdered as a warning to others because he recently had the courage to publicly deprecate an attempt to murder a policeman in Cork. London newspapers, while unreservedly condemning the crime, maintain it does not differ from those which have long terrorized Ireland. It is declared that Ireland for the moment is largely under the domination of secret murder societies, the members of which are sworn to kill those whom they believe to stand in their way, but who the conspirators are puzzles the police as much as the public.

WILSON DON'T KNOW MEN, LIVERPOOL POST BELIEVES (By Associated Press) LONDON, March 22 Profound regret is expressed by the Liverpool Post that the Versailles treaty was rejected in the United States senate. "Many things contributed to this deplorable upshot of the president's diplomacy," it says. "It is not for outsiders to sit in judgment on America's decision, nevertheless, it seems tolerably plain the senators have spoken and voted amid a great deal of misconception as to the treaty and league of nations and that unfortunate mental atmosphere might have been markedly improved had Mr. Wilson shown himself as skilled a manager of men as he has shown himself a lofty idealist."
