With the same cunning system and secrecy with which the many raids on police and soldiery have been carried out, the rebels applied the torch to government buildings and offices, especially tax bureaus, here In Dublin and other towns. In Cork the pensions office and internal revenue office were burned down. This authoritative summary of the 'week-end havoc throughout Ireland was given: Sixty-one police barracks were destroyed and 21 revenue offices raided and their contents burned. Police and fire guards were kept busy throughout the day. though in most Instances they came too late to gave important official records from • perishing In the flames. England's military machine has this Island in an iron grip and, unlike the fanatics of 1916, the present-day leadera of the rebel movement realized It and passed the word that there is to be no attempt to shake off the "chains" by force, and instead ordered incendiarism. There was feverish police and military activity all day at Cork. Large forces patroled the streets. All automobiles were held up and the occupants questioned. Eleven unoccupied police barracks were burned or blown up in County Cork. London, April 6.--Telephone messages from Belfast say the city was quiet throughout Easter day, bijt reports of fires In the outlying districts continue. Incendiarism was most virulent in the Newry district. The arrests were made following an attempt to destroy the customs house •ad the barracks at Newry, where rebel raiders also attempted to burn down the revenue collector's private residence. In this they were balked by the plnck of the collector's daughter, Mrs. Mansfield, who held one of the attack ers by the nose, half stifling him, until the police arrived.

He added: "As there are mora men farming more acres,'each acre and each man producing more and giving everybody more of the six leading cereals than we ever had before, the farmer seems to be doing his part pretty well. "Farm production has kept up with the Increase In population. Fifty years ago the average production per capita of the six leading cereals was thirtytwo bushels, rrom 1915 to 1919 it was fifty-two. Corn increased from 23 to 27 bushels per capita; wheat from 6.2 to 8; oats from 6.7 to 13.9; cotton from 36.5 to 52.7 pounds, and milk from 84 gallons In 1889 to 96 gallons In 1919.

In 1900 the production was 248 pounds of meat per capita; In 1919, 222 pounds. Notwithstanding this we are still exporting large, quantities.
