The only new facts concerning the
situation in Ireland is that two other
leaders in the rebellion, whose execu-

be no further executions until after
parliament had debated John Dillon s

They were James Connolly, one of

London, Eng, May 12-Switching

against the French the Germans have
begun again sharp offensive AGAINST
the British lines around Hulluch.
Preceding their movements with
the heavy bombardments, the Ger
mans launched an infantry attack
against the British lines in the region
Of Vermelles, and were successful in
capturing first line trenches over a
front of about 500 yards. The British
admit the loss of the position, but
say that parts of them were retaken
in counter attack
Around Verdun, the French on the
left bank of the Meuse, have recap

taken from the southeast of Haucourt
by the Germans. Bombardments are
again taking place in the vicinity Of

SEC. BAKER TALKS
:. ON PAREDNESS
Industrial and Financial Prepar.
90" edness as Necessary as
Military.

Atlantic City, N. j., May 12.-Secre-
tary OF War Baker, in an address be.
fore the annual convention Of the
New Jersey State Bankers associa-
tion here tonight urged permanent
adjustment of tn nations affairs with
a view to threefold mobilization OF
its resources in case Of war. Indus
trial and financial preparedness, no
said, were as essential as military
preparedness. His only reference to
the Mexican situation was that so
luton of the problem appeared near
at hand.
The preparedness sentiment, said
Secretary Baker, which is now sweep.
ing tn land and sending both men and
women to military and naval training
camps, is reaching into other fields.
and the concentration of these forces
would be secured as readily as those
of the army and navy. He predicted
that congress, now busy with reor.
ganization features of the prepared.
ness program, would be busy with
other industrial and economical ne.
cessities of the land.
Country DisIikes War.
Mr.. Baker said there was cause for
profound satisfaction in the fact that
out of the many opinions expressed
regarding the attitude the adminis-
tration would take on international
questions as affected by the European
war, there has never appeared evi.
dence that this country accepts the
philosophy that war is good Or nee
essary thing"
Pierre Jay of New York, another
speaker, explained the new check col.
lecting system that <hortly viii be
placed in operation by the federal re-
serve board. The new system, he
said, while depriving the banks OF
enormous revenues in collection fees,
would turn back to the smallest city
bank accounts which merchants now
kept in the largest cities In order to
save the fees.

The above wire, received last eve
ming from President Pennington of
the 500 Line, places on record the
Capital City's last big property-holder
in favor of Bismarck's big paving pro
ject. The 500 will be affected by the
paving district for distance of sew
eral block fronting on Broadway, be.
tween the freight and passenger sta
ton and the roundhouse The mat
ter was explained to President Pen.
rington in letter this week. and he
lost no time in telegraphing his en-
dorsement and pledge of his sup.
port.
The Northern Pacific Railway Co.,
through one of its executives, has
already expressed it's approval OF. the
paving project, and these two car.
riers represent as much frontage as
any other property-holders in Bis
Snlarck, With only three Or four ~ 3eX'cep'

Strong FOR Paving.
Nonresident owners Of Bismarck
real estate are almost a unit in favor
Of the big paving project. Most Of
these property holders reside in cities
which have an abundance of good
paving and they have learned to ap-
preciate its value.
F. D. Kendrick, NJ. D., writing from
st. Paul this week, says:
whatever suits Little, Mckenzie
and the rest of your property-holders
suits me in regards to paving. What
kind of paving do you propose put
ting down. The right kind of i'm
provements makes the cities.
Fishing is. too good in Minnesota
for me to come up and boss the job."
Mrs. Henry ". Suttle of Long
Beach, Cal, who is visiting in the
city, and who owns considerable
property here, is very much in favor
of paving for Bismarck. Mrs. SUIT
tie, en- route to the Capital City,
stopped off at Dickinson over Sun
day. High winds prevailed there,
bad condition, the oiling which they
had received this spring and last
year -dppdl cHtly having WY A't'c ~
feet, so far as dust is concerned. The
general feeling there, Mrs. Suttle
found, is that all of the money which
has gone into oiling the streets
would have been much better invest
ed in paving.
Practically every nonresident prop
erty-holder who has been consulted
on the subject of paving has agreed
that it is the one thing required to
make Bismarck the best city in North
Dakota, and they regard the expense
as insignificant in comparison with
the benefits to be derived. This at
titude upon the part of owners of a
very considerable amount OF vacant
lot property is one of the very best
endorsements of the value of paving
There is considerable discussion as
to the personnel of the special paw
ing committee to be named to CO.
operate with the city commission. NO
definite action has been taken with
regard to the naming of this commits
sion. The Commercial club announc-
es. however, that this commission will
be composed OF men who are known
to be sincerely friendly to the paving
project, who have gone on record as
such in the petitions to be presented
to the city commission, and men in
whose integrity and ability everyone
will have confidence.
