MAIL CENSORS ARE SWORN TO
 REAL SECRECY
Lord Robert Cecil in a Statement Replies to MeutralS for Their
 Attack.
CREDENTIALS DEMANDED

LONDON. Sept. 12.--The activities of neutral traders are of no inter est to the British censorship, said Lord Robert Cecil, minister of wal trade, in statement today elabor ating upon the remarks he recently made in the House of Commons on the subject.
 "The suspicion evidently is enter tained in certain quarters in the United States" he said. that the British censorship is being used as means of capturing American trade It already has been denied in the most formal manner that the censorship Is being put to any such use. but this opportunity may well be taken to emphasize my pre- vious statement.
 Tt can not be emphasized too strongly that the general and statis tical information extracted from trade letters is never used for the purpose of substituting Allied trade for neutral trade.
 'Gt has been suggested, although information regarding purely neutral trade may not be obtained through the censorship for official use. ln- dividuals engaged in reading the cor. respondence may divulge the con tents to British firms, who may themselves may make use of it to their own benefit. The answer to this suggestion that the man who would break his solemn obligation to secrecy in this manner would be likely to break it in matters Of greater importance from a purely British point of view. For example he might reveal the trade secrets of one British firm to another, or even use his opportunities to make money himself through transactions of the very kind it is his duty to prevent"
 Lord Robert said that a most care ful scrutiny Is made of the creden tials of censors. An occasional black sheep. he added, Is certain to be discovered, but he Is dealt with in 8 suitable manner"

Washington, April 27.-Ambassador
Won Bernstorff here and Ambassador
Gerard in Berlin are doing their utmost
today to prevent a rupture between the
United States and Germany. In discuss
ing Bernstorff's attitude, one official
said:
"LThere is no question that Bernstorff
is anxious to avoid a break. He will
do all possible to continue friendly re-
lations. He has done so in the past He
is in the very hardest kind of position,
but his work is appreciated.
As long as Bernstorff is trying to
meet President Wilson s views it is be.
ieved unlikely that the executive will
demand any created haste or take any
action for the present which might EN-.
barrass him.
Comment in the German press is so
divided that it is clear that an under
standing of the German position is not
to be obtained yet.

London, April 27-The whole of Ire
land is under martial law, Premier
Asquith announced today.
Asquith said the situation was still
serious and that the rebels continue to
hold some important public buildings
in Dublin with indications of the dis
order spreading to western parts of Ire
land. Street fighting continues in
Dublin.
Asquith's statement came like a
thunderbolt in the midst of reports indi-
eating that the rebellion had collapsed.
The government is understood to be
hurrying more troops to Ireland, and it
was indicated that the rebellion was
spreading to prosperous counties like
Limerick, Tipperary, Clare and the pro-
vince Of COnnaught where Sim Fem
organizers have been active for weeks.
After Asquith's statement, Sir Ed

Story of Revolt and Raid.

London, April a. - Loyalty of the
Irish nationalist leaders and Irish
masses has resulted in the collapse
of the revolt started in Dublin. The
situation is comparatively quiet in Dub
lin today, according TO official an
nOuneement.
1t is possible that there win be more
fighting while government troops are
rounding up the rebels, but the arrival
of English soldiers apparently disheart-
ened the Sim Feins, who lacked ma
chine guns. The government has re-
eeived assurances of support from
scores of Irish leaders.
London newspapers today fiercely at
tackled Augustine Birrell chief secre-
tary for Ireland, and Lord WimbOurne,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, demanding
their immediate designations. They de-
cared that Birrell s weakness and ir-
resolution were responsible for the up
rising. The Express demanded that Earl
Kitchener be made lord lieutenant Of
Ireland.
Indicating that the crisis has passed,
the British censor permitted press dis
patches to be sent from Ireland. One
said that Sir Roger Easement, who was
To have led the revolt had German plans
succeeded, landed from a German sub
marine on the shores Of Tralee bay just
south of the mouth Of the River Shan
non, with two Irish companions. Secret
geryice1agents pounced upon them inn
mediately, but one Of the Irishmen ea-
capped.
The submarine and the German aux
iliary steamer loaded with arms and am
munition for the Irish rebels crept out
of Kiel canal and rounded the British
Isles north of the Scottish coast, A
British patrol boat halted the auxiliary,
but she showed regular papers to tho
boarding party. She flew the Dutch
flag. and was allowed to proceed.
Another patrol boat fired a shot
across the auxiliary's bows the follow
ing day. Seeing no reason why a Dutch
tramp should be in north Irish waters,
the patrol ordered the auxiliary to pro-
cede her to Queenstown. The submarine,
carrying Easement, followed submerged
The auxiliary steamed southwark for
hours, but seeing no chance Of eluding
the patrol boat, the German crew final
ly blew up their vessel, The crew was
captured by British sailors from the pa
troll.

Stock Market Steady
Prices Remain Firm

New York, April 27.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review today
said:
Recovery of prices was interrupted by
Tuesdays heavy profit>taking and yes
terday's reaction was resumed. A sharp
turn up in standard railways was the
feature. Whether this had any more
than professional backing remains to be
seen. Railway earnings, of course, have
made remarkably favorable showing
recently. This must have appealed to
investors who would not hazard a nick
ell on war stocks Besides, the rail-
roads were favored by the Norfolk and
Western dividends and the excellent
March Union Pacific statement report
ing an increase of nearly $2,500,000 in
gross earnings The activity was well
sustained but dealings were apparent
ly largely professional. They will like
ly continue so until the uncertainties
surrounding the German and Mexican
situations are removed. Speculative
sentiment was optimistic. Outside rail-
road prices recovered substantially.
Steel advanced a point or more.
