LORD MAYOR SAID
TO BE SHAMMING
--
SiNN FEIN BULLETINS PICTURE
LORD MAYOR AS DYING
BY INCHES
FORTIETH DAY OF FAST
The London News Says McSwiney Is
Perfectly Well, But Sulky And Balks
At The Questions He Is Asked
London. — The most sensational
charges, amounting practically to the
bald statement tliut Lord Mayor Me
Swiney of Cork is shamming in his
hunger strike in Broxton jail were
made by the Evening News, which
claims to have its information “from
a trustworthy source.”
In absolute contradiction of the Sinn
Fein bulletins, which picture the lord
mayor as dying by inches, as very weak
aml as fast approaching the final col¬
lapse, The News declares that th,
prisoner is perfectly well, but sulkj
and "not inclined to answer ques*
lions.
The paper adds: "And he sleeps
most of the night, from 10:30 onward,
his temperature is 97, pulse 18, and
varies from weak to regular. In tlie
afternoons he is able to sit up in bed
and be washed. He seems to have srti
fieient strength to assist in the proces
He is able to talk a good deal ani
reads newspapers with interest.”
Of course this is vigorously denied
by the lord mayor’s friends. Seamus
O'Brien, foi instance, is indignant at
the report, and says that nothing bus
passed MacSwiney’s lips but water
and medicine designed to counteract
the gastric juices, and tire sacred wa¬
tt r used in communio n widen he re
ceives every morning
The question whether MacSwiney is
being fed is answered by the home
oftTce with "if he is we do not know
it.” In this connection it is
out that it would lie almost impossi
ble for any one to administer 11011115111 -
tnent without the attending physicians
becoming aware of it, and the govern¬
ment officials argue if the doctors
ascertained that the lord mayor was
getting any food whatever, the entire
sfefets of his earlier starvation would
be nullified.

"We are informed by our govern¬
ment that the Serbians, pushing their
invasion from north to east, have
reached the region of MViti, half way
between the Albanian frontier and the
COi, - st ' Passing thus far beyond the lim¬
its fixed by themselves in 1918, the
so-called line of demarcation, and have
destroyed about forty villages. T. The
Albanians have repulsed these invad

in numbers, are tillable to resist in¬

who are seemingly determined to de¬
stroy our nation, t implore your ex
eelleney to take immediate steps in
order to secure the withdrawal of the
Serbian's, from Albania and save our
nation' from destruction; 'otherwise,
the gravest consequences will follow
throughout the Balkans.
