Next 30 Days to ™
. .
Decide War, Belief
By C. F. BERTELL]I,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Servics,
PARIS, April 28.-—~That the forth
coming 30 days are likely to he the
most momentous period of the whole
war and will definitely and finally de
termine the fate of Germany is the
consensus of opinion in well-informed
Paris circles which I have canvassed
a 8 to the events of the immediate fu
ture, Americans will not understand
the import of the happenings in Eu
rope during the past days unless they
consider them as forming part of the
colossal stroke the Kalser has declded
to make for an early and favorable
peace,
l According to my information, the
following 1s the logical sequence of
Furopean events this year:
i 1. In consequence of the breakdown
of Germany's Near Eastern campalgn,
caused by Premier Brland's Salonikl
coup and Russia's successful invasion
of Armenia, the Kalser decided to at
tempt to smash the Allies’ western
front this spring, being further im
pelled to this resolve by the growing
tendency of the Allies to act uuitedly
on all frontg, which tendency was con
firmed by the March conference in
Paris.
Aoootu Sporting Chance.
2. The Verdun offensive was the
firnt stroke of the Imperial staff's plan,
The Crown Prince's bloody fallure has
gravely compromised the whole plan,
but the staff accepts the sporting
chance that remains and will strike
& second blow, This, Paris experts
u{. wiil fall on the British front.
. Yesterday's news included the
item that the German frontier had
been closed since Monday; that mallg
can not pass, and that even forelgners
Ccan not ‘quit Germany until twenty
days have elapwed. It should be re
membered that a similar measure pre
ceded the Verdun attack.
4. In order to strike the British
army a deadly blow, the imperial staff
has preceded It with several dramatic
demonstrations against the British
Isles designed to throw the London
War Office into disarray and to fright
en the population. The filibustering
Affair off Tralee Bay, the Dublin in
surrection and the combined naval
and air demonstrations against the
east coast of England may be re
grded as preliminaries to a battle in
anders quite as furlous as the Ver
dun battle,
Kaiser Keeps at Front.
6. A British oMclal bulletin pub
lished today records determined ef
forts by the Germans to drive back
reconnoitering war planes.
6. The Kalser remains on the west
ern front with General von Falken
hayn, the chief of the general stafr,
during the crisis with the United
States, It is belleved he will witness
the opening of the forthcoming battle, |
probably addressing his troops as he
did at the beginning of the drive on
Verdun,
Reports of the Kalser's !mpending
concessions to President Wilson in the
submarine question can only be ac-'
cepted as probably true, In view of the |
fact that the Kalser Intends to solace
the German disappointment by a ter
rific attack on the British lines. Well
posted Frenchmen understand that if
the German Emperor could smash the
British army he could afford to eall off
his submarines from the British over.
SeAs commerce routes.
The whole of this bold and elaborate
scheme was foreshadowed by the Ger
man Government when it stated in the
posters calling for subscriptions to
the fourth war loan:
Colossal Blow Promised.
“Germany is gathering all her forces
to strike a colossal blow that It may
fall with German prevision and Ger
man force, dealing destruction and
annihilation ke the thunderbolt, such
s the call to all”
Paris Is confident that m:hn wilt
fall. The magnificent stand of the
French army at Verdun and the un
ending slaughter it {s stil] Infiicting
on the Kaiser's leglons have broken its
back. The struggle at Verdun is like-
Iy to continue somewhat on its present
lines, while the 800,000 troops whom
Colone! Rep!rai.on has reported con
centrated in nders go into titanic
battie against the Hreitish.

Travelers From Seat of Rebellion
Report- Situation Improved.
U-Boats Bring Arms.
! Ao
: By SYDNEY B. CAVE,
iStaH Correspondent of International
| News Service.
‘ LONDON: April 28—Coming direct
from the center of the Irish revolt—
ihubl(n—--trawlor_u who left Ireland
last night, arrived in London today,
bringing word that the situation has
improved. This coincides with the
feeling in official circles that the con
dition in Sowtheastern and Western
Jlreland is much less serious than it
was 48 hours ago.
Those who arrived here today from
the scene of the uprising told pic
turesque stories of fighting in the
streels betwesn rebels and soldiers.
It was evident that the rebels had
counted uoon success in the sudden
ness of their strike, but the prompt
ness with which big bodies of troops
were thrown into the Irish ecapital
and the surrgunding towns overawed
many of the revolutionists who vol
untarily gave up. However, thera
were many others who had pledged
themselves to fight to the last and
they have kept up the battle.
U-Boats Arm Irish,
Great quantities of arms had been
landed in Iréland by German subma
rines and these are now heing used by
the Irish rebels against the British
rtoops, it was stated here today.
This is the first case of submarine
filibustering on record and solves the
problem that has long puzsled the
British Government as to where the
Sinn Feiners (Separatists) were get
ting their rifles and ammunition.
More warships have bheen sent into
Irish waters, not only to protect cities
on the eaitern, 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 lving
off Cork. Queenstown, Bantry, Lim
erick and Galway.
Casualties Heavv, |
That the casuaities are heavy is in
dicated by the fact that the rebels, |
who are well armed, are making a
#tubborn 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 wounld not
make any political capital out of the .
uprising and would do everything in |
their power to restore tranquillity had |
a slightly reassuring effect, hut this |
was more than counterbalanced by |
the extensive mlilitary nreparations of |
the War Office. The measures being |
taken indicate that the Government ie |
seriously alarmed and that they fear |
the revolution will® not be easily
crushed. i
