LONDON, April 28,-The
rigid censorship of details con
cerning the situation in Ireland
is in no degree relaxed this morn
ing in spite of the official deda
'rations that the troops are in
complete control of the situation
and everything is again quiet.
\ccording to the official bulle
tins given out Major General
Maxwell landed in Dublin and
took over the military command
of Ireland this morning. Asquith
announced today that tin- gov!
eminent has accumulated evi-j
deuce showing that a large por
tion of the arms taken from the
rebels were landed on the shores
of Ireland by German submersi
I les.
The present indications are
that the Germans were able to
land immense quantities of arms
and ammunition in this manner
and that it is largely due to tln-ir
activities ih this respect that the
ii-bels were able to strike.

TOKIO, April 28.—It is the
general opinion of the newspa
pers of Japan that the Burnette
immigration bill now pending in
congress will not be adopted. The
tone of newspaper comment on
the subject is optimistic in the
extreme and many of the papers
arc openly commending the ef
forts of Ambassador Chinda to
prevent the passage of the enact
ment against Japanese citizens.
Several journals cite the fact
that i migration measures of the
same character have twice failed
in the United States through hav'
>ng been vetoed and this, together
with the fact that the proposed
enactment i-. in direct conflict
with the treaties with Japan, in
clines them to the view' that the
bill will not be adopted.
