IRISH GUARDS ARE
 JUSTLY CHEERED
Playing Saint Patrick's Day." the Troop Marches Into
 Dublin

Dublin, April 4.--dO:25 D. m)--A band of the Irish guards. which even few months ago would have received an un- friendly greeting, arrived here today on recruiting tour and was enthusiasticai- ly cheered as it marched to the Mansion house playing 'St Patrieks Day"
 The bandsmen were received and well comed by the lord mayor and sheriffs.
 There was another remarkable scene here today when John E. Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader, reviewed 25, ,00o Irish national volunteers and in a speech said that of the nationalist and Ulster volunteers, who had organized to fight one another, more than 50.000 were now lighting side by side on the continent or were in training to go there.
 Limerick also has altered it's opinion of the British army. Officers who during the week secured 300 recruits in Limerick were heartily welcomed by the people. and the recruits were lustily cheered when they presented themselves.
 Perhaps for the first time in Irish his- tory such scenes have been witnessed and certainly there has been a change from the days when an Irishman who joined the army was summed by many.

Work of Revolutionists

Rome, April 4--(Nia Paris, 12:01 D. m.) D. Rizow, Bulgarian minister to Rome
 expressed the opinion today that the Servo Bulgarian border incident was the work of Macedonian revolutionists, in Servia. who oppose the Servian regime in territory gained in the Balkan fars. M. Rizow asserted that the Bulgarian Gov- ernment was not responsible for the af- fair and that it's only desire was to pre- serve neutrality.
 r M Ristitch, the Servian minister, denied this He said that Macedonians in this part of Servia had no desire to oppose the present order of things. Responsi- bility for the incident. he asserted, might be determined by considering to whose interests it would be to provoke such an outbreak. This, he said, pointed clearly to Bulgaria, which by occupying the left bank of the vardar river, could threaten to cut Servian communications with Sa- loniki. the only source from which the country could bring in supplies. Already. he said, wire communication had been cut. #
