CONTRAST IN SWIMMING SUITS
Free State Pushes Plans
For Home Defense
DUBLIN. July 16—(UP)— Erie is I
lajiidly pushing forward plans for j
defense, urged on by the fear of i
involvement in the European con-1
fliet.
During the earlv months of the j
war the country cherished a feel-
ing of security due to isolation.
Although various reserves were
called out and emergency meas-
ures taken, these were inconsid-
erable when compared with the I
defense efforts of continental I
liCl'trals.
All this suddenly changed, how- j
ever, when the Germans success- j
: ally overran Norway and the Low
Countries and demonstrated the
effectiveness of aerial invasion.
Even Britain came to fear a
German offensive against tier soil,
and it was quickly realized by the
Irish that the Germans might find
ft convenient to attempt seizure |
of Eire as a base from which
aerial attacks on England could
be launched.
Held Case Arouses Eire
This fear was heightened by the
arrest of Stephen Carroll Held,
43-year-old company director of
German relationship, who was |
held on a series of ci nonage j
charge*. It was alleged he pos- i
s. ;ed $20,000 In U. S currency I
to be used in aiding and abetting '
tin* Irish Republican army and i
carrying out espionage on harbors, j
docks, military stations and com- |
municattons. Oerman narapher-
nalia seized and Held's German
blood Indicated the interests he
was serving.
Under the leadership of Eamon |
de Valera, premier, minister for .
external affairs and education, the
country set about preparations for j
maintaining neutrality against all I
threats. |
It was decided to expand the ]
regular and volunteer forces by
tome thousands of men and ere- .
ate a new local security force j
to w atolr for parachutists, air-
plane troops and the possibility
of coastal invasion from subma-
rines or disguised vessels.
Army Drive Made
A drive was Initiated Immedi-
ately tor enlistments. De Valera
and other members of the govern-
ment used the radio and toured
tile country making speeches to
obtain the required volunteers
Large numbers came forward.
Including notably many members
of the old Irish Republican army,
not to be confused with the pres-
ent I. R. A. which appropriated i
the name of the old patriotic or-
ganization and launched a cam-
paign of terrorism against Britain
in the hope it would win union
between Ulster and Ere.
However, Oscar Traynor. min-
ister for defense, declared the re-
sponse was not satisfactory, par-
ticularly from among the younger
men, and hinted a national regis-
ter and compulsory service might
be adopted If sufficient volunteers
were not available.
Eire's military forces are small
compared with those of continen-
tal countries of similar size.
Prior to Inauguration of the new
defense campaign n ministerial

the army including regulars and
