SATISFACTORY SSNCESS
By A P. A. Service.
BERLIN, May 5.—That the'
German government intends to
made still further concessions to
the United States in the interest
of harmony is indicated in the
following extract from the official
text of the note which will short
ly be delivered to the American
J , . i
representative.
It, the note, says in part: “The
German government has repeat
edly declared that it cannot dis
pense with the use of the subma
rine weapon in the conduct of
its warfare against enemy trade
The German government, how
ever, has now decided to make a
further concession by adapting
the method of the submarine war
fare to the interests of neutrals.
In reaching this decision, the
German government is actuated
by considerations which are
above the level of the disputed
question. The German govern
ment attaches no less importance
to the sacred principles of Fit*
inanity than does the government
)f the United States.

FOUR MORE IRISH LEADERS
PAY DEATH PENALTY
A. P. A. Service
DUBLIN, May 5.—For the sec~i
ond time since the downfall of
the rebellion a group of the lead-1
ing spirits of the uprising have]
faced the bullets of a tiring squad.
Four more of the leaders of the
rebellion were executed at sun
rise today after being convicted
of treason before a military tri
bunal.
The men were Joseph Plunkett,
Edmund Daly, Michael O’Han
nalian and Wm, Pierce, a brother
v> the former president of the
provisional government who was
also executed.
All four of the men were among
the leaders of the rebellious
movement and the names of two,
of them are attached to the proc !
tarnation. The men were led be
fore a firing squad of fifteen sol |
diets at sunrise this morning andj
all perished at the first volley.
Fifteen others were also sen j
tenced to death at the same timej
as the executed mc» but the sen~;
teuces were latter commuted to
ten yeans penal servitude.
l lte situation throughout the
country is satisfactory and the re
bellious movement is apparently
it an end. In several instances
the rebels have voluntarily sur
rendered their arms. The mili
tary is searching every nook and
cranny in southern Ireland for
arms and seditious literature and
dozens have been arrested who
were apparently not connected
