MILITARY RULE DECLARED
THROUGHOUT IRELAND
Major-Cieneral Sir John Maxwell Sent from London
- To Take Charge.
A despetch from London says t-
Meetial law ha a been declared through -
Out Ireland, and Major-General Sir
John Maewen, who until recently
commanded the troops in Egypt, has
gone over M take charge, the Irish
executive officials having placed them-,
selves under hie instructions. He has
been given full disciplinary powers
for the extension of the operations
and the suppression of the rebellion.
The revolt which broke out in Dub!.
lin bas sped to other parts of Ire -
lend, chieflY to the west and south.
This •inforneation, together with the
fact thatthe rebels are still in pos.
session of parts of the city of Dublin,
• was given to the nation by the Minist-
ers in Parliament en Thurselay.
There had been a small rising at
Ardee ahd Louth and a rather more
serious one in Swords and Lusk, close
M Dublin.
Troops are Adequate.
Premier Asquith, who on 'Wednes-
day had given reassuring news re-
specting the situation in Ireland,
caused something of a flutter of anxi-
ety by his statement on Thursday in
the House of Commons when he an-
..amuced a spread of the movement to
Zeller parts of Ireland, the retention
by the revolutionalists of certain
parts of Dublin and the fact that fight-
ing was still going on in the streets.
The government, the Prime Minister
further announced, was convinced that
the forces now in Ireland, and those
proceeding there were adequate to
deal with the situation,
Restore Order First.
Replying to a question whether the
Government had been warned of a
dangerous growth of sedition, Premier
Aequith said
"The first and paramount duty of
the Government is to reetore order
and to stamp out rebellion with all
poieible vigor and promptitude. That
we are doing.
"Behind that there is undoubtedly
an obligation which rests upon the
Government of tnaking a searching
investigation into the causes of and
the responsibility for these events.
That obligation we fully recognize and
intend to discharge.
Our allies already have been made
aware by Sir Edward Carson and Mr.
Redmond," the Premier added, "that
the• movement is sectional only, and
has no aympathy from the repres-
entatives of the Trish leaders."
Mr, Asquith said that for obvious
reasons he did not like to name the
other places to which the trouble had
spread, but there had been in the east
and mouth, but particularly in the
west, places where there was a de-
velopment of the. movement. Very
stringent precautions were being
taken by the military authorities to
deal with these plaees.
BELC AN COAST
AGAIN SHELLED
BRITISH EMPLOY 3 BATTLE.
SHIPS, 18 DESTROYERS AND
40 MINE -SWEEPERS.
The Retterdam correspondent of the
London Daily Mail, telegraphing
Thursday, says:
"A Britieh equadron resumed the
bombardment of the Belgian coast at
o'clock on Thursday morning.
Mine -sweepers have cleared the coast
Waters of mines, and nets have been
laid to guard against submarines.
The Germans anticipate a severe at-
tack.
"In Thursday's bombardment the
British force consisted of three bat-
tleships, 18 destroyers and between 30
and 40 mine -sweepers and mine-
layers. Two of the battleships bom-
herded the coast between Zeebrugge
and Knocke, including Heyst and
Blankenborg. The fire was answered
•gee-ehy the German batteries. The third
hattleship concentrated its fire on
three Getman torpedo boats which
left t e harbor immediately after the
a tack egah. One of thee° was hit
several times, and returned to the
&rimr seriously damaged, supported
by consorts.
"Thorough preparations were made
by the British before the bombard-
ment, Dutch territerial waters being
marker by colored buoys."
BRITISH TRAWLER
SINKS FOE SUB.
A. despatch from London says
The destruction of a German sub -
Marine by a British trawler off the
north coast of Scotland is described
iy Dutch newspapers recieved here.
ccording to the accounts, the sub-
inarinc had halted two Dutch steam -
eh, when a trawler appeared and
tented with its first shot four men
Who were atanding on the deck of the
submarine. The trawler then sank
the submersible with a second shot.

.A. despatch front New York says:
Complete confessions given in return
for immunity have been made by Imo
of the eight Germans recentlyarrest-
ed in the alleged conspiracy to place
fire bonibs aboard munitions ships,
and they were on Wednesday after-
noon telling their story to the Federal

by Assistant United States District
District Attorney Wood, in charge �f
the investigation of alleged German
plots. The two men are Capt. Chas.
von Kleist and Ernest Becker, an elec-
trician aboard the interned German
steamship Friedrich der Grosse, where
the bombs alleged to have been placed
on various ships were partly manu-
factured. The others arrestece in the
case include Capt. Eno ]lode, Cape
Otto Wolpert and Frederick Gathocie,
employes of the Hamburg -American
Line. A ninth alleged conspirater,
Dr. Walter T. Scheele, is yet to be ap-
prehended.
DETAILS OF CHA6"-RGES OF
INHUMAN TREATMENT.
Three ,Cases of Soldiers at Moose Jaw
Cited. t
A. despatch from Ottawa says: De-
tails as to the alleged inhuman treat-
ment of soldiers at Moose Jaw by
hanging them up by the arms for
conmaratively trivial offences were
furniehed to the Commons on Wed-
nesday afternoon by W. E. Knowles,
following up his demand of Tuesday
for an. investigation • by the Acting
Minister of Militia, Sir Robert Bor-
den. Mr. Knowles cited three cases.
One soldier who fainted under the or-
deal was "hung up" for being off
duty, another for insubordination,
and a third for neglect to caery out
orders. J. 11. $inclair, of Guysbor-
ough, deelared that charges of sini-
ilai• brutal punishment of soldiers had
appeared in some of the Nova Scotia
tapers. Premier Borden promised
that a strict enquiry would be made
forthwith, and any officer guilby of
cruel or unjust treatment of his men
would be brought to book,
NO MORE FARM HANDS
FROM UNITED STATES.
Only Poor Class of Men Can Be
Secured Now.
A despatch from Toronto says: The
Ontario Department of Colonization
and Immigration has recalled its spe-
cial officers from Michigan, where
they have been drumming up farm
hands to relieve the scarcity' of help
in Ontario; The venture proved a sue-
CeSs, close to five hendred men having
been secured, but the floating supply
of good men has been exhausted, and
them available now are not considered
of proper quality. There are lots of
good farm hands in the State, but the
special officers when they went after
hem found that the farmers had moil)
of them tied tip under- contract, The
scheme to get farm hands has helped
more than the farmers. Some of the
men secured, after landing in Ontario
and getting within the sound of the
bugles, have peomptly enlisted for
overseas service. The Dept:Mt/ant of
Agriculture is now satisfied that with
the num secured and the help of rail.,
ed farmers and High ethool boys re-
leased for Mem work the situation
this summer will be well met.

WEEK'S NEWS OF THE WAR.
The English coast, was again visited by German warships on Tuesday morning. They were ,sighted off
Lowestoft by the British local naval forces and were engaged. They fought for twenty minutes and then
fled. Before fleeing one of the vessels fired into Lowestoft, but little damage was done. Two men, a woman
and a child were killed. tee the same time fire Was opened on Yarmouth, and one or two buildings were slight-
ly damaged.
About the same time a fleet of Zeppelins made a raid over the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. This is
the region in which are situated 'Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Some bombs were dropped, but a fog made it im-
possible for the enemy to get any accuracy of aim. ,
The British fleet shelled the sea coast in the neighborhood of Zeebrugge on the 24th. It is reported that
three German desbroyers, after being hit, were forced to withdraw into the harbor.
Little opportunity is being given the enemy forces to concentrate in Egypt. Aeroplane reconnaissance
keeps the authorities advised- of any hostile movement. During the week an attack was made on Quatia, but
the force used 'was not sufficiently strong, and a withdrawal was necessary. But this was only for a day.
Stronger forces were brought up and the enemy had to flee.
Canadian troops have been in action almost continuously during the week. In the neighborhood of St.
Eloi the Germans have been making frequent .attempts to recapture the crater positions taken from them on
March 27, but the men from bhe Dominion have repelled every attack and caused much loss to the Germans.
In the neighborhood of Verdun the French are taking the offensine more and more. They are also proving
the superiority of their artillery fire over that of the Germans. There has been considerable fighting during
the week, especially in the neighborhood of Dead Man's Hill, but, the French not only successfully defended
that position, but even retook some trenches on the northern slope which Nut been captured from them some time
before.
The campaign in Mesopotamia gives ground for anxiety. The Tigris is still in flood, and the advance of
the British force to the relief of Kul-el-Ainara is delayed. There has been some fighting with the relieving
Pone, and the enemy have made great claims which have been discounted by the despatches of Sir Percy
Lake. The Russians, since they caetured Trebizond, have kept up their advance westward along the shore of
the Black Sea.
No sooner had the first Russians who landed at Marseilles got half -way toward the battle front than an-
other force equally big was reported as having landed there, too. There is now no doubt of any intention of
Russia to make any peace before the Allies clo.
CHINESE REBELS PLAN
ADVANCE ON PEKIN.
An Army Several Hundred Thousand
Has Been Organized.
A despatch from San Francisco
says: A rebel advance on Pekin, the
capital of China, has been ordered by
the Chinese revolutionists, according
to a Shanghai despatch to the Chinese
Republic Association here on Wed-
nesday. .An army of several hundred
thousand under Luy Ung -Ting, for.
merly commander of Yuan Shi-Kai's
forces in Kwang Si Province, and
Gen. Lung Chi Kwang, formerly with
the Government troops in Kwang
Tung, will begin the march upon Pe-
kin soon, it was stated.
BUSS TROOPS REVIEWED
IN MARSEILLES STREETS.
A despatch from Maraeilles setts:
The Russian troops which arrived here
on Tuesday held a dress parade on
Wednesday morning in the presence
of a vast ceowd Which cheered them
wildly. The troops were reviewed by
Col. Verstakosky, their comatantler;
General Menassier, Governot• of Mar-
seilies, and N. Schramech, Prefect of
Marseilles. While the review was in.
progress bands on French warships
played the Russian and French Na-
tional Anthems. The Russian troops
then paraded through the city, pre-
ceded by little girls who strewed flow-
ers in their paths.
People who are always looking for
trouble are never satisfied wheti they
find it.
LONGEST SIEGE OP WAR.
Mora, in the Catneroons, Defeuded
For Eighteen Months.
What has been the longest siege of
the ware
It is doubtful whether 1,000 Brit-
ons, outside of official life, could
answer the question. This is not
strange, because the story is told
here for the first time. It comes
from a young British officer who had
the sanction of the War Office to
tell the stoey of the most stubborn
. e
When the history of the war is writ-
ten it may. be known cis the Siege of
Mora -a siege which lasted for eight-
een months. With Mora in the hands
ef the British find French, the allies
came into possession of a country of
9,950 square miles in area, which is
as large as the German Empire and
Belgium and the part of France un-
der German occupation at the present
time. This is the Carneroons, or, as
the Germans spell it, Kamerun.

water in the regions he frequents is
invariably cold, and that cold water
is ordinarily very discouraging to a
swimmer. There are bears that can.
swim thirty miles cm more without
espcial effort.
One of the swiftest of swimming
animals is the squirrel. A sportsman
cm one occasion, having a young squir-
rel that had never seen water, wanteet
to see if it could swim, and took it
with him in a rowboat to the centre
of the lake. When the squierel was
put into the water it turned toward
the bank, head and paws above the
water, back and tail underneath it,
and began to swim so rapidly that the
man had hard work to recover it when
it reached the shallow -water near the
land. It is said that even noaquatic,
birds will swim like ducks if anyone'
attempts to drown them.
NO NEGOTIATIONOS
WITH BULGARIA.
A despatch from London says :--
Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of War
Trade, denied in the House of Com-
mons on Thursday afternoon that
Great Britain was carrying on semi-
official negotiations with Bulgaria.
He reminded his questioner that Great
Britain was precluded by the spirit of
the agreement with her allies from
entertaining any peace negotiations
with any of their common enemies
without the knowledge and consent
of the other parties to the agreement.
