WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April 27.-Special: A
revolutionary outbreak in Ireland, in
which British troops and volunteers
sustained relatively heavy casualties,
a raid by a German battle cruiser
squadron on the east coast OF Eng
land. in which the raiders escaped
after having bombarded Lowestoft
and hit two British cruisers and a
destroyer. are the outstanding fea-
lures Of the war.
SO far as has been made public,
the revolution in Ireland has not eX-
tended beyond Dublin, where mem
bers of the Sim Fein society on Mon
day captured the %postoffice and 9th
er points in Dublin and in the fight
ing which ensued with the troops and
loyalists killed at least eleven OF the
city's defenders and wounded nearly
a score of others. What the losses
of the revolutionists were has not
been stated. The British government
asserts that the situation in Dublin
Is now well in hand.
The German battle cruiser squad
ron made it's first attack on Lowe
stoft, opening fire on the coast and
killing two men. one woman and a
child. British light cruisers, torpedo
boat destroyers and aircraft chased
the Germans, who retreated hastily.
Two British cruisers and a destroyer
were hit by shells, but none was sunk.
whether the Germans suffered any
damage Is not known.
Except in Lorraine there has been
an entire absence of infantry fighting
on the western front. The big guns,
however, have continued their a
of shells in opposing positions at varl-
Gus points.
At La Chapelotte in Lorraine the
Germans launched a heavy infantry
attack against the French, which was
repulsed. Some of the Germans OBJ
tanned a footing in a portion OF the
French salient, but later were driven
out with heavy losses.
Around Hill 304 and in the region
of Esnes and Cumieres, northwest OF
Verdun, the bombardment continues
TO be intense. To the east of Nerdur
around Moulainville there also has
been a violent bombardment. In tht
