Troops And Machine Guns Hurried
to Dublin—Government Claims to
Have Situation Under Control
A. P- A Service.
LONDON, Apjril Jb.—The
greater part of Southern Ireland
is under martial law today as a
result of the great attempt at an
uprising commencing Sunday
and culminating in the seizure
of the post office and sections of
.he city by Irish rebels- Official
innouncements today state that
)ub!in is completely under the
ontrol of troops although there
tre intimations that incipient
riots have occurred within the
t twenty four hours.
W ith the passing hours the
extent of the attempted insurrec
tion is becoming more apparent
and it is now quite clear that the
plot had been well laid and only
the failure of the masses of the
people to rise at the signal pre
vented disorders of the most seri.
oils character. The situation is
admittedly very grave and devel
opments are being watched with
intense interest by the officials.
Dispatches from the lord lieuten
ant today state that the troops
have matters well in hand and no
uncontrollable difficulties are an
ticipated. News of the Irish de
fection has shaken England to
the core as the loyalty of the Irish
was generally unquestioned. The
majority of Englishmen consid
ered that the failure of the at
tempts to stir up the Irish peo
ple during the period shortly an
tecedent to the war was proof
that there was no danger to be
apprehended. " V
l'he advices from Dublin state
that troops are arriving almost
hourly and detachments carrying
scores of machine guns are hur
rying to the counties farther
south. News from the sections
south of Dublin is meager but it
is known that incipient riots have
occurred in practically all of the
larger towns.
IRISH REVOLT LEADER
RETURNED TO LONDON
By A I’. A. Service.
LONDON, April 2b.—Sir Rog
er Casement, the Irish opponent
of the English rule in Ireland,
who is presumed to be the leader
of the recent attempt to bring!
about a revolution in the Emer
ald Isle, was returned here today
under a heavy guard and will he
tried tor high treason.
Casement has long been a most
bitter opponent of British gov
ernment in Ireland and his vari
ous attempts to stir up sedition
finally compelled him to.dee to
Berlin where he has remained
(during the greater part of the
war period. He is a British sub*
ject by birth. It is intimated that
the authorities have convincing
proof that he is the prime mover
in the attempt to create a revolt
in Ireland which culminated in
i!>' seizure of a large part of
Dublin I) v Irish rebels during the
riots of Sunday and Monday.
25 CASUALTIES RESULT
FROM GERMAN RAID
/V. P. A. Service
LONDON, April 26.—A total j
of twenty five casualties in dead
and wounded resulted from the
bombardment of Lowestoft by
the German warships and the'
running fight with the British
light crif >t squadron, as far as I
can be learned at the present 1
time.
The government is still main
taining the strict censorship and
little of the details of the Lowes
toft attack or the following sea
engagement have been permitted
to reach the public. It is not
known whether either side lost
any ships. German reports de
clare that several British vessels
were badly disabled by the Ger
man gun tire. The admiralty
reports admit that several of the
British vessels were hit and that
there were some casualties. Noth’
ing is said, however, as to ship
losses on either side. Dispatches
from Hull today state that a Brit
ish destroyer returned there
bringing several injured sailors,
but no details of the battle were
obtained.

W .VSHINGTON, Vprn
Further dispatches from Am
bassador Gerard today indicate
Germany is in every way desir- t
ons of bringing about an arnica*
b!e settlement of the submarine I
question and will probably go to
extreme lengths in attempting to;
placate the United States.
It is feared by the officials,1
however, that the German en
deavors in this direction will a>
sume the same temporizing char*-!
acter as previously mstmguished
the German negotiations.
In the opinion of the officials
such tactics at the present time
will only serve to make the situa
uf worse as it is clearly indi
cated that the president will not
consent to argue with the Berlin
government. What is demanded
of Germany is fall and unreserved
compliance with the international j
law as applied to the rights of1
neutrals and the president will be1
satisfied with nothing less than
,i full and complete acknowledge
ient of intention to conform!
thereto The belief is prevalent,
that Wilson will at once seven
diplomatic relations if Germany |
attempts to dodge the i~sne in I
the smallest particular.
