RAIDED BY BAND
RADICALS TODAY
London, March 25.—The intelligence section of the Irish office in Queen Anne's street was raided and ransacked by agents of Irish extremists last night. Nothing of value was obtained. Confidential documents were recently removed from the Irish office, which is to cease many of its functions with the establishment of the free state. The purpose of the raid was believed to have been an attempt to secure names of informants during the British occupancy of Ireland for the purpose of retaliation, possibly by a fresh murder campaign on the part of Irish extremists. Many of De Valera's followers have expressed doubt of the sincerity and completeness of the British retirement from Ireland, and may have thought to obtain evidence to support their stand.
