TROOPS POLICE IRELAND
Troops and Machine Guns Poured
Into Danger Zone—Gov

By SYDNEY B. CAVE, iad
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, April 26.—Martial law
has been declared in Dublin and
throughout the greater part of South
ern Ireland as a result of the uprising
in the Irish capital.
Heavy bodies of tyoops, supported
by machine guns, have been thrown
into the danger zone.
Some anxiety was felt here over the
whereabguts of Lord Wimborne, the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, although
no advices had® been received up to
the time this dispatch was written to
inddcate that he was in any danger.
It was believed that today’'s secret
session of the House of Commons
would deal with the Irish question, as
this has taken preponderance over the
‘onscription question in some official
quarters
In the absence of any extended an
nouncements by the Government over
the situation in Ireland the trepida
tion in th public mind grew and it
was feared that conditions there were
more serious than the meager official
details indicated.
Private advices which came from
Irish quarters outside of Dublin said
that machine guns were used in the
streets in Dublin and the loss among
the separatists (rebels) were heavy.
Postoffice Is Riddled.
Fires were started in the Irish capi
tal at the height of the fighting and
some buildings were destroyed. The
postoffice building, about which some
of the flercest fighting raged, was rid
dled with bullets and all the windows
smashed,
The Government was bitterly criti
cised by some of the leading London
pdpers today for not having taken
*precautions extensive enough to pre
vent an uprising. It has been known
for some tdme that the revolutionary
feeling in Ireland has been growing
This has been fostered by the follow
ing agencles:
1. The proposal that conscription be
extended to Ireland
2. The action of the British Govern.
ment in not allowing the home rule
bill to go into effect
2 The decree of the Government
cutting off the immigration of Irish to
the United States
4. The activities of anti-British and
German agents who have carried on a
vigorous propaganda for many
months
The temper of the Irish people has
been shown by flery anti-British tie
rades lin some of the smaller Irish
newspapers and the extreme reluc
tance of the Irishmen to enlist

By CHARLES F, BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
PARIS, April 26.—Violent bombard
ments took place along the Verdun
front last night, but there were no
infantry actions, the French War Of
fice reported today.
The offcial communique states that
artillery duels of the most intense
characte™were in progress at Mill No.
304, and on the Meuse River.
In the Woevre plain (east of the
Verdun sector) both German and
French guns were pounding away in a
ceaselegs cannonade all night.
The vigor of the big gunfire pre
vented either side from making any
infantry attacks’
Aeroplanes Victorious.
Frénch aeroplanes were victorious
on conflicts fought Tuesday with Ger
man air and sea forces on the coast
of Belgium. The War Office an
nounced today that one of the aero
planes had dropped bombs on a Zep
pelin at Zeebrugge, while another had
attacked a German torpedo destroyer
at Ostend.
The text of the official commynique
follows:
“North ¢f the Aisne, in the course of
an attack which yesterday enabled us
to capture a small wood south of Bois
des Buttés, we took 72 unwounded
prisoners, of whom 1 was an officer
and 7 subofficers Numerous recon
noltering forces of the enemy which
had attempted to approach our
trenches during the night were dis
persed by our fire in the sectors of
Paissy and Troyon.
*"West of the Meuse there was an
intense bombardment of our positions
at Avocourt wood and our first iines
north of Hill No. 304
No Infantry Action.
“East of the Meuse there was mod
erate artillery activity.
“In the Woevre the enemy directed
a bombardment with artillery of large
caliber upon Haudromont and Ron
vaux. Our artillery responded ener
getically. There was no infantry ac

took some prisoners An unsuccess
ful attack launched vesterday by fl\'
enemy against our positions at Chap

“One of our pllots, following an
aerial combat his morning, brought
down a Fokker machine, which fell
into our lines In the neighborhnod of
Hoeville, north of Luneville. The en

ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1916
Audience Goes Wild When Great
Sextet Is Sung—De Luca
Also Scores. ‘
By DUDLEY GLASS. |
After the third act of “Lucia’ Tues
day afternoon, the box office outside
the Auditorium was stormed by a line
of belated ticket purchasers who had
hurried out from their seats to secure,
before it was too late, seats for “La
Sonnambula.” Early Wednesday, aft
er the news had spread over Atlanta
that a second Tetrazzini was in our
| midst, a still larger throng hurried for
seats. Before noon “La Sonnam
bula” on Wednesday night promised
to draw one of the largest audiences
of the season. °
' It was the magic of Maria Bar
rlentos’ voice that caused this wave
of enxl‘ulum to rise. Atlanta had
been reading a great geal lately of
this new Spanish coloratura with a
voice peculiarly adapted to the old
fashioned cadenzas of Donizetti and
Bellini. But Atlanta has read also
of other marvels who turned out noth
ing so wonderful. Operagoers, in‘'the
mass, were not optimistic_about the
new star, and hundreds had hurried
to exchange their Tuesday tickets for |
something else when “Lucia” was
|substituted for “Butterfly.” So there
were quite a number of empty seats
at the matinee
The curtain rose on the .\‘-nlt:*h‘
chorus, well sung, and then '-mvrr'di
Giuseppe de Luca, the new baritone,
making his Atlanta debut He ,-::-ng{
| the “Cruda, funesta, smania” air w 'h'
strength and beauty The rhn-rvh’
'flwung into the llting “Faint :nw\i
Spent,” de Luca's fine baritone was
heard in another alr and the curta n‘
fell. It rose quickly on the secdnd
scene, and after the delightful pre
{ lude, the Lucia of the day entered
There were a few lines of rmmn.\n_i
|nnd then she began the air, “Silence

! . Voice Fills Building. !
Dead silence wrapped the Auditoe|
‘rium as the first cler notes of H.nl-i
{ rientos floated over the footlights. As|
| she reached the florid passages at the |
end and began the trills the audier al
leaned forward, breathlesasly, to hear |
every finest note. The volce was min- |
lature, it is true, but so silver n.n"

volume may be forgotten And "nal!
it has eéxcellent carrying qualities is;

her the sincere compliment of walt-|

away. Then there was such a storm |
of appiause as the Auditorium wa .
had not echoed in many a month. The |
prima donna smiled delightfully and|
bowed again and again. Then Ba ]

artist he is, with every care for "1»;

A new Aida will be heard by At
lantans Thursday afternoon in the
person of Mme Frances Alda, the
fine soprano who has sung so weli
in several Atlanth appearances. Thoue
who remember her Desdemona (one
of her famous roles), her Roxane In
Damrosch’'s “Cyrano,” and especially
her Micaela in last season’s “Cggmen,”
are’ anticipating the matinee with
more than ordinary interest
Mme. Alda was one of the sensa
tional figures In Atlanta opera last
year, though she. was cast in a part
in which a more temperamental an'
self-consclous star soprano would
have refusgd, for Micaela I# asecond
ary role in the Bizet opera, the Car
men having most of the spotlight. .
But the role has two arias of not
able beauty, especially the famous I
Am Not Faint Hearted” in the smug
glors’ camp scene, and when Alda
sang this the audience gave her an
oVation which had not been surpassed
even by ‘the appinuse given Geral
dine Parrar, the Carmen. There was
curtain call after curtain ofil for Alda
and when the opera was over it was
conceded to have been o dual tre
wmph.
“Mme. Alda is the Patsy Bolivar
of operd.” said one member of the
Metropolitan Wednesday, “As the
wife of the genera! manager, Mr
Gatti-Casaxea, she s given gcompars -
