Dublin Recovered

London, Dec. 27.

No less than one quarter of a ton of the ammunition stolen by Irish Republican Army men when they raided a military depot on December 24 in Dublin has been recovered by the police in the Eire capital The ammunition was found at Selbridge, in Kildaire County.

Meanwhile, strong police cordons were thrown around Dublin today and all cars returning to the capital from the countryside are being severely searched, while all luggage and parcels found inside are being opened. Cars leaving the capital are subjected to an even more scrutinizing search.

The military investigation into the raid is being carried out in strict secrecy.—Havas.
