Own,“ Round (Laws: Town.) shark’s 3 All the rebels in Dublin have our rendered, and those at outlying 130111“ are surrendering to the mobile col- .umns of troops which are sweeping 1 the country, says an official statement '- issued in London Monday night. The authorities have taken 1,000 prisoners in Dublin, of whom 489 were sent to England the night before last. Un- conditional surrender are the only terms granted the insurgents. Those1 at Enniscorthy have accepted these terms and are yielding to the authori- ties. Dublin is now quite safe and the country is nearly all pacified. The German schemes in regard to stirring up an extended revolt in Ireland have fallen flat. The statement adds: “A . column composed of soldiers and ; Royal Irish Constabulary captured 5 seven prisoners in the neighborhood - of Ferns (County Wexiord) to-day. Wicklow, Arklow. Dunlavin. Bagenals- town and New Ross, and the counties of Cork, Llaie, Limerick and Kerry 8 are generally quiet. The whole 01' , Ulster is quiet.” _ I‘ ,1 IRISH REPUBLIC HA1) ONE WEEK’S HISTORY Headquarters In Dublin Taken and Leaders Slain or Takenâ€"French Announces Rebellion Broken v-I-vv- â€"~ 1â€"â€"" A despatch from London Sunday 1 night said: With dusk of the last; Easter week day in Dublin the “Irish Republic” passed into history. It had lived a little more than 120 hours. From the tops of a few isola- ted houses in the Irish capital there still flies the flag of the “Republic” amid the clatter of snipers’ rifles hold- ing to the last. But the snipers are at bay. Small fires are still smoulder- ing in various parts of the city. Other- wise Dublin experienced an almost perfectly normal Sunday. The “army :0! the republic” has unqualifiedly sur- rendered; the “seat of the Govern- ment,” the general post office on Sack- ville Street, is a heap of ruins, the “commander-in-chief,” James Connoly, is dead, and the “president,” Peter Pearce, a pifisoner. An official statement issued Sunday night by the Othcial Press Bureau ‘ says: “The general officer command- ing-in-chief. the Irish command, has reported the situation in Dublin much more satisfactory. Throughout the country there was still much more to be done, which would take time, but he hoped that the back of the rebellion had been broken. Last night i messengers -."'i'c€ sent out from the { rebel leaders in Dublin to the rebel bodies in Laiway, Clare, \Vexford. ;Louth and unblin Counties, orderi 1g ithel‘ll to surrender. Priests and the zRoyal lrish (hihstabulary are doing their utmost to disseminate this in- formation. | “As regards the situation in Dub- llin, rebels i‘rém the areas of Sack- iville Street. the post office and the iFour Courts axe surrendering freely. {More incendiary fires toek place in Sackville street last night, but the fire brigade is now able to resume work. it is iurther reported that up to the present 707 prisoners have been L'taken. included among“ these is the - Countess Marhievicz. l Doubt Chief’s Surrender ;. “The rebels at Enniscorthy are re- _lported to he still in possession of E'ethis place, and a mixed column of _'cavalry, infantry and artillery, includ- ' ing 4.7 guns. has been sent from Wex-. ford with a view to engaging the . rebels. The latest information from ‘Enniscorthy shows that the rebel Ileader at this place does not believe eithe rebel leaders’ meSsage from Dub- - lin, and has proceeded to that city 5 in a motor car under escort to verify - the information. In the meantime a truce exists. “A deputation for a similar purpose from the rebels at Ashbourne (County Meat'n) has also been sent to Dublin. At Galway the rebels are believed to be disbanding, and few arrests have been made. At New Ross, Gorey, Wicklow, Bagenalstown and Arklow the situation is reported normal, Car- low and Dungarvin are believed to be quiet.” "‘ 19__ 41-- UV \iwnvvv “The military operations for the suppression of the rebellion in Dublin are proceeding satisfactorily,” says a communication issued by Field-Mar- shall French, commanding the home forces, issued in London late Friday night. “What may be described as the organized forces of the rebels,” the communication adds, “are confined to.a few localities, the principal one being the Sackville street district, in which the rebel headquarters appear ito be the general post office. Recaptured a Trench The following oficial communique was issued in London on Sunday night: “Last night we made a suc- cessful raid against the enemy’s trenches southwest of Thiepval. Thir- teen prisoners were captured and a number of casualties were inflicted on the enemy by our men bombing their dugouts. Our artillery dispersed an enemy working party in front of St. Eloi this afternoon. Friday night the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry re- ‘ captured a trench on the Ypres-Lange. marck road which was lost the night of April 19. Our line there is com- pletely reestablished.” The chief censor announces from Ottawa that the troopships Scandin- avian, which sailed from Canada on April 17th, and the Miasanabie, which sailed on April 18th, have arrived safely in Englasng'i1 we Scandin- avian were: ' Battalion and smaller units. 3n the Missanabie there were: Slat Edm . ton Battalion, 3rd Divisi, _ , Sub-park, detachment ‘ men’s Battalion and s 1' mm The following oficial statement was 1 sued Monday night in Petrogtad: “SCaucasus fromâ€"In the dh‘ectlon at Diarbekr our Cossacks energetically repulsed the Turks toward the west.

David Carnegie of Shall. Com- mittee Continues important Evi- dence Before Commission The Royal Commission appointed to i' examine into the Kyte charges re- assembled Monday afternoon and 001. David Carnegie testified that his salary had been increased from $12,000 to $25,000 per year, and, in addition to this salary, he had been presented: with $15,000 as a gratuity or honor-‘ arium. When the Commission ad-‘ journed for the day, the colonel was being questioned as to the contracts! for the purchase of cartridge cases from the Edwards Valve Mfg. Co. of Chicago. Perhaps the most important item in testimony was the announce- ment that the International arms and gFuse Company had 'only delivered 157,000 fuses to date out of the 2,500,- 000 fuses which that company had to deliver by April 30, 1916. The Ed- wards Valve Co. had a contract for half a million cartridge cases at $2.42, A-_ and never filled it. Canadian com- panies were ready to make them for as low as $2. The contract with this concern followed correspondence in which Col. Allison figured prominently. The most important item of Friday's session of the fuse commission was the disclosure that the American Am- munition Company had been com- pelled by the Imperial Munitions Board to reduce its price for graze fuses (unloaded) from $3.72 to $2.35! per fuse. This means a saving of over one million dollars upon the graze fuses yet to be delivered. An- other fact of interest was the an- nouncement that although the Ameri- can Ammunition Company had de- faulted upon its deliveries, it had quite recently received an order for 600,000 additional fuses. A touch of romantic interest was lent to the proceedings Friday afternoon by the statement that German spies were taking notes in the court room. As the testimony is all published at great length in the papers, the alleged spies were not interfered with. 1:1 a care- fully worded statement, Mr. Hellmuth, Government counsel, declared that the members of the Shell Committee were never officiati; of the British Govern- ment. The “(far Office, he said, re- gardet than: as cont actors. Legally, he thought, they were merely con- tractors, bnt as they assumed to act ‘ofllcially, "‘ were under a moral , t.:('.‘.y members oi the Shell Committee were never officiais of the British Govern- ment.

This is the farthest point in the interior which has been reach- ed by the British expedition, which apparently is being pushed forward rapidly. _ _ m ..

Germans Fail Twice Before Verdun on Seventieth Day The only news from the region of Verdun Monday was that the French positions on the left bank of the Meuse underwent a spirited bombard- ment from the German guns, and that the sectors of Cote du Poivre and Douaumont, on the right bank of the Meuse, were the centres of artillery activity. During the night the Ger- mans, who had delivered a powerful and concentrated attack on the posi- tions which the French had captured from them north of Le Mort Homme. Ewere repulsed with severe losses, and another attack which they had launch- ed, also in dense formation, against Cumieres was also repulsed. A French semi-official statement says that the battle of Verdun has revived a little after 69 days. Kutâ€"eI-Amara Surrender London announced officially on Saturday that General Townshend and the garrison of Kut-el-Amara, 7,980 men, had surend'ered after a ISO-day siege. Shortage of food and- hope- leesness of relief operations were‘the reasons. The Turks claim a great booty but the Anglo-Indians destroyed everything useful. The 'surrender made Berlin delirious with joy. Verdun Heroes Honored Generals Petain, commander-inchief at Verdun, Balfourier and Claret de la Touche, have been ‘placed on the special roll of. the Legion of Honor for grand'officers'for conspicuous ser- vices at Verd_un.‘ "The yar‘operations 19 “i- A.._ ... being marked by no-intantry fighting were rather tame on the French front on Frlday, for the artillery and aerial work was the only feature of note.

RECRUITING There may be some advantages 1 in following the German method i” of censorship, but it is equally : certain that there are many dasâ€" advantages. It may be only a matter of opinion whether the disadvantages are not greater than the advantages, and it would require a great deal of. eV'1d_eDC?

I 0 ° ' ' ' | lhe chief effect 01 the. censor- sh1p_is to lull the people, general- ly‘ into an apathetic1 sell-sauslied frame of mind, where they are convinced that affairs are going: ! all right and that it IS unnecessary ' to make any exertions. ’l‘he U11". mans do this because they do not want the people to get excheu,‘ and then they conscript all the} fighting men they .‘want, and re- 1 gar-d other matters as nobody‘s‘ business but the governments. *British people are lulled to repose in the same way by suppressmg the news, and the result is that it is impossible to arouse any of the feeling that is necessary to keep the recruiting campaign go- ing. 11? we followed the German plan and add-ed to censorship the conscription, there would be a little more sense in it, a little more method in the madneSS; but to cut off all the stimulus to re- cruiting and then refuse to call out the men who ought to be in the ranks is the high way to disaster. Apparently in England the gov- ernment is afraid to trust the peo- ple with the Whole truth. The se- cret session of.the British Parlia- ment has won favor £10m no one. A crop of rumors has sprung up. and in spite of the censor, has gained circulation. The effect on recruiting is bad. The spring W ea- ther cannot be altogether credited With the lowering of the numbers in Toronto. On Thursday only 39 men were enlisted. The expecta- ltion has been for ahundredaday. If the Worst and the blackestl were laid before the people we be- lieve the effect would be much more desirable than our rulers and ‘ governors appear to fancy. The zeppelin raids and the naval raids. .and the state of recruiting, and the condition of munition supplies need not, perhaps, be given to a decimal, but there is no reason Why valid and accurate informa- tion should not «be furnished to the country every day, outside the ~mi1itary and naval limits which every one concedes. The factor of chief importance in connection with this is recruit- ing, and without a proper knowâ€" ledge of the facts, recruiting na-‘ turally slackens. If we have nei- the natural stimuli to recruiting nor the conscriptive powers that would fill the ranks. it is not rea- sonable to expect that the army ‘will be kept up to its full strength. There are doubts even whether it has yet attained adeâ€" quate strength, and there is no knowledge whether it is lack of reserves or lack of first line men that delays the pressure on the German front which was nromised last spring. The longer the war continues the heavier the cost, both in men’s lives and in treas- ure. There is need for active mea- suresâ€"Toronto Daily World. John Campbell, engineer of the Ridgetown waterworks departâ€" ment, has perfected a‘ device for his automobile which robs the inâ€" creasing price of gasoline of its terrors. For some time he has been experimenting and has suc- ceeded in evolving a principle by which he burns coal oil instead of gasoline for power. The principle of the new device is a coil pipe passin from the supply tank aroun the exhaust, the heat from which evaporates the coal oil be- fore it passes into the combus- tion chamber. Mr Campbell has iapplied for a patent on his idea. He has been using the new fuel for several days and claims a gal- lon of coal oil will go as far as a gallon of gasoline and at less than half the cost. RUNS AUTO WITH COAL OIL.
