PARIS, April 28, —Bombardment of
the French positions at Avocourt
and Esnes, on Verdun's “horthwest
front, was continued by the Germans
during the night. The official com
munique issued by the War Office
this afternoon states, however, that
no infantry attack was launched
against the Meuse fortress.
The apparent lull in the fighting at
Verdun is still regarded as a prelude
to terrific assaults in which the Ger
mans will make their supreme effort
to drive back the French and fprce
them to re-form their lines to pivot
on Toul. The French are fully pre
pared for the great assault.

LONDON, April 28.—Great quanti
ties of arms have been landed in Ire
land by German submarines and these
are now being used by the Irish rebels
against the British troops, it was
stated here today.
This is the first case of submarine
filibustering on record and solves the
problem that has long pumled the
British Government as to where the
Sinn Feiners (Separatists) were get
ting their rifles and ammunition,
More warships have been sent into
Irish waters, not only to protect cities
on the eastern, southern and western
coasts, but to prevent any further fili
bustering on the part of Irish and
German agents of the revolutionists,
In addition to the warships in Dub
lin Bay, British men of war are lying
off Cork, Queenstown, Bantry, L'lm-l
erick and Galway.
With all of Ireland under martial
law and more troops pouring into the
island from England and Wales, it
was reported today that fighting haa
developed in five counties in the
southeast and the west,
Military proclamations are bheing
posted under orders from Major Gen
eral Sir John Maxwell warning the
Irish against taking up arms against
the King.
Fighting Believed Still On,
In the absence of official news dur
ing the surly morning hours, the na
ture of contemporary events in ire.
land could only be conjestured, but it
was supposed that fighting was still
in progress in the streets of Dublin,
That the casualties are hrvy s in
dicated by the fact that the rebels,
who are well armed, are making a
stubborn stand against the trained
troops that were sent against them.
The statement of John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationalists, and
Sir Edward Carson, leader of the Ul.
ster Unionists, that they would not
make any political capital out of the
uprising and would do everything in
thelr power to restore tranquillity had
o slghtly reassuring effect, but this
was more than counterbalanced by
the extensive military preparations of
the War Office. The measures being
taken indicate that the Government iy

seriously alarmed and that they fear
the revolution will not be easily
crushed. g
Traffic between Holyhead and
Kingstown has been restored. Pas
sengers on a boat reaching Holyhead
early today from Kingstown declared
that the leaders rof the Separatists
consider Ireland in a state of civil
war,
Prisoners Taken to Ships.
A number of political prisoners are
reported to have been placed upon
British warships in Dublin Bay to
prevent their Jelivery from jall by
the rebels,
Sir Edward Carson, although over
60 years old, has offered to RO to Ire
land and put himself at the head of
the Unionist volunteers in Ulster to
fight the Sinn Feiners.
The number of rebels under arms
in Ireland is not known exactly, but
It is believed that there are probably
10,000 men taking either an active or
a 4 passive part in the uprising. That
there i« a heavy force of rebels in the
fleld is shown by the great numbers
of troops rushed into the districts
where danger exists. .1

Gerard to Tell Kaiser
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service
WASHINGTON, April 28-—Ambas
sador Gerard has been instructed to
explain to the German Government
that its answer in the submarine con
troversy must beé final. He personally
will tell the Kaiser that all that the
United States is asking is a return to ;
cruiser methods of warfare. Advices
from Berlin hinting that Germany
will try to quibble regarding warning 5;
freighters are causing officials con- .
cern, but it is hoped that after Ms.
Gerard has restated the American po
sition the officlals there will realize :
that they must go the entire way to
avold a break, i
The State Department still is with
out Information regarding the confer
ence between Ambassador Gerard and
the German officlals. He is not ex
pected to report until after a final de- 3
cision has been reached by the Kawer X
and the Imperial Chancellor, but off.
cials were hopeful today that this de- j
cision wili be reached within the next
24 hours. i
Meanwhiie, the general situation
here remains unchanged. Not a sin
gle order has been issued to paval of
ficers for six days. All are heing re
tained at their present stations and
leaves of absence are not being grant
ed. Every precautionary measure has
been taken so far as the navy is con
cerned and it was stated today that if
an emergency should arise the At
lantic fleet could be made. ready for
active work in record time. 5
Administration officials denied re
ports shat President Wilson had de
cided to demand that Congress pass
resolutions indorsing his course in the
submarine situation. Such action, o!.;‘,

essary. The President intends 1o

after the German answer is rec
