Decide War, Belief
By C. F. BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondant of International
News Servica, :
PARIS, April 28.--That the forth
coming 30 dayse are likely to be 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
as to the events of the immediate fu
ture, Americans will not understand
the import of the happenings in Eu
rope during the past days unleas they
consider them as forming part of the
colossal stroke the Kaiser has decided
to make for an early and favorable
peace,
According to my Information, the
following is the logical sequence of
European events this year:
1. In consequence of the breakdown
of Germany’s Near Eastern campalgn,
caused by Premier Briand's Saloniki
coup and Russla's successful invasion
of Armenia, the Kaiser decided to at
tempt to smash the Allies’ western
front thix spring, belng further im
pelled to this resoive by the growing
tendency of the Allles to act unitedly
on all fronts, which tendency was con
firmed by the March conference in
Paris.
Acuvu Sporting Chance,
2. The erdun offensive was the
first stroke of the imperial staff's plan,
The Crown Prince’s bloody failure has
gravely compromised the whole plan,
but the staff accepts the sporting
chance that remains and will sirike
a second blow. This, Paris experts
say, will fali on the British front.
3. Yesterday's news luncluded the
item that the German frontler had
’been closed since Monday; that mallg
can not pass, and that even foreigners
can pot quit Germany until twenty
days have elapsed. It should be re
‘membered that a similar measure pre
ceded the Verdun attack.
4. In order to strike the RBritish
army a degdly blow, the imperial staff
has preceded it with several dramatic
demonstrations against the British
Inles designed to throw the London
War Office into disarray and to fright
en the &mpulullon. The filibustering
Affair off Tralee Bay, the Dubl?.'lu
surrection and the combined val
and alr demonstrations against the
east comst of England may be re
grdod as preliminaries to a battle in
Flanders quite as furious as the Ver
dun battle.
| Kaiser Keeps at Front.
6. A British official bulletin pub
lished toduy records determined ef
forts by the Germans to drive back
reconnoitering war planes,
6. The Kaiser remains on the west
ern front with General von Falken
hayn, the chief of the general staff,
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 Kaiser's impending
concessions to Presldent Wilson in the
submarine question can only be ac
cepted as probably true, in view of the |
fact that the Kaiser intends to solace
the German disappointment by a ter
rific attack on the British lines. Well
posted Frenchmen understand that If
the German Pmperor could smash the
Rritish army he could afford to call off
his submarines from the British over.
SeAN commerce routes.
The whole of this bold and elaborate
scheme was foreshadowed by the Ger
man Government when It stated {n the
posters caliing for subscriptions to
the fourth war loan: !
Colossal Blow Promised.
“Germany is gathering all her forces

i Report Situation Improved. |
| U-Boats Bring Arms. '
i % RBET AU 2
i By SYDNEY B. CAVE, ]
| Staff Correspondent of International
! News Service. !
g LONDON, Apri! 28.~Coming nirefltl
from the center of the Irish revoit—
Dublin—travelers who left lrelundl
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 Sostheastern and Western
Ireland is much less serioug than it
was 48 hours ago. l
| Those who arrived here today from
| the scene of the upriging told {ii(‘-!
‘Mrp.«pw storfes of fighting in the
streets between rebels and soldiers.
It was evident that the rebels had
counted upon success M the sudden
i ness of their strike, but the prompt
ness with which big bodies of troops
were thrown into the Irish capital
and the surrounding towns overawed
tmany of the revolutionists who vol<|
untarily gave up. However, thera |
lwem marty .others who had pledged‘
themselves to fight to the last and
they have kept up the battle. '
U-Boats Arm Iriah. ‘
Great quantities of arms had beenl
landed in llreland by German subma
rines and these are now being used hy'
the Irish rebels against the Brmsh,
rtoops, it was stated here today. 1
This is the first gnna of submarine |
filibustering on recbrd and solves the |
problem that has long puzyled the |
British Government as to where the
Sinn Feiners (SBeparatists) were get-]
ting their rifles and ammunition. !
i 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 agenta of the rr-vn}utinniflts.{
In addition to the warships in Dub
lin Bay, British men of war are lying |
off Cork, Queenstown, Bantry, Lim
erick and Galway. |
Casualties Heavv. ,
That the casualties are heavy 18 in- |
dicated by the fact that the rebels, |
who are well armed, are making a
stubborn stand against the tr-med;
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
their power to restore tranquiliity had |
a slightly reassuring effect, but th!n‘
was more than counterbalanced bhy
the extensive military preparations of
the War Office. The measures being !
taken indicate that the Government e
seriously alarmed and that they fear
the revolution will not be easily’
crushed. f

MACON, April 28.—Final decree was
granted in United States District Court
lere Loday by Judge Emory Speer, mak
ing permanent the injuction against in
terference with the property and declar
ing void the appoiniment by the Ordi
nary of Oglethorpe County of tempo
rary administrators for the estate of the
late James M. Smith, millionaire planter
of Smithonia.
Judge Speed appointed Federal Court
receivers to take charge of the estate.

least, tukes the case entirely out of the
hands of the State courts, where it had
become a bone of contention in three
Superior Court circuits.
The Zadok Smith claimants, who in
sisted on leaving the administration of
the estate under the direction of the
Court of Ordinary of Oglethorpe Coun-
LV, now are expected to take the case to
the United States Court of Appeals and
from there jt may reach the United
States SBupreme Court,
Judge Speer's decision concludes a
