DUBLIN THE SCENE OF SERIOUS
FIGHTS BETWEEN MEMBERS
OF SOCIETY AND TROOPS.
SITUATION WELL IN HAND
Trouble Started In Center Of Dublin.
Mob Seized Stephens Green, Post
office and Cut Telegraph and
Telephone Wires.

London.-Dublin has been the seen
Of serious fighting between member
of the Sim Fein Society and regular
troops REINFORCED by loyal volunteers
The loyalists lost about q dozen mer
killed and 10 wounded. The casualtie.
Of the rioters have not been ascertain
ed. Many of the d1sturbers were ar
rested.
The trouble started at noon Monday
In the center Of Dublin, when q mob
seized the Stephens Green, a large
park near the Royal University, the
postoffice, where the telegraph and
telephone wires were cut. and houses
in various parts Of the town.
The troops from the Curragh and
Loyal Volunteers were hastily sum-
moned and fighting between them and
the mob began almost Immediately.
The first announcement Of the trou-
BILE was made in the house of commons
BY Augustine Birrell, chief secretary
for Ireland, who said that the situa-
tiol was we'll In hand. but that COM
munication with Dublin was still diff
ficult.
The only details surrounding the
situation are the msager ones con-
tained in the official announcement,
but government officials expressed the
opinion that with Sir Roger Easement
and two Of his aides IN prison in Lon
don, the troops were in control.
The official communication April 25
concerning the Dublin situation says:
AT noon Of April "a serious disturb
ances broke out In dublin. A large
party Of men identified with the Sim
Fein party, mostly armed, occupied
Stephens Green and took possession
[orcibly Of the postoffice, where they
cut the telegraphic and telephonic
wires. Houses also were occupied In !
Stephens Green, Sackville street, Alb
oey street. and along the quays.
In the course of the day soldiers
lrrived from the Curragh, and the sit
lation is now we'll in hand. So far as
S known here. three military officers,
our or five soldiers, two loyal volun-
eers and two policemen have been
Tiled and four or five military officers
md seven or eight soldiers and six
wounded. No exact infor-
nation has been received Of the cas-.
alties on the side of the Sim Feiners.
Reports received from Cork, LINER

I any kind have occurred in these

GERMAN REPLY DELAYED
American Ambassador Summoned To
the Imperial. PaIace-Conference
With Bethmann-H HolIweq.

Ber!in.-(Via London.)-It is I'm
derstood that the German reply to tn,
American note will not be delivered
before the imperial chancellor has an
other opportunity Of comforting will
the emperor.
The American ambassador was call
ed by telephone to the imperial chan
cellor's palace April "a. He went i'm
mediately and held conference with
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
When he came from the conferenc &C
Ambassador Gerard declined to give
any information as to the nature Of the
discussion and would not answer q
question as to whether any one else
was present.
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg devoted
the afternoon to conferences on the
submarine question with Admiral Won
Holtzendorff. chief Of the admiralty
staff, who recently succeeded Admiral
Won Tirpits. Several Of the higher
diplomatic officials participated.
The outcome Of the present crisis
depends on what Presiendt Wilson
and the American government wants.
The general view of the present sit
uation as cleaned from conversations
with a number OF persons close to Of
ficial circles Is about as follows:
II President Wilson and the Amer
lean government are arguing that ear
lier concessions by Germany have not
been adhered to and insist that the
submarine campaign be conducted
without deviation within the limits Of
German assurances and pledges in
former notes. then a settlement prob
ably can be arranged. notwithstanding
what is considered the sharp and
tone" Of the American note.
The pledges probably can be restated
II need be and definitely reformulated,
80 that there can be no possibility of
error or question Of responsibility.
II. however, the United States in
sists on further limitation Of the sub
marine war against commerce, then
there appears to be little chance of
agreement for a satisfactory settle
ment and 1t is considered that O
breach Of diplomatic relations, II 1t |
should come, would in all probability
,e only temporary status and would |
levelop into an actual state Of war.
This view is not official or authori-
alive, but represents the opinion OF
'ersons who are in a position to be
veil informed. These persons care
ully refrained from making definite
r authoritative predictions and spec
fled that they were voicing only their
wn opinions, but these may possibly
% straws showing which way the
Vind is blowing
The request OF DR.. Won Bethmann-
Iollwegg for conference with AM
assador Gerard is thought to have
cen inspired by the desire of the i'm
erial chancellor to find out what Pres
lent Wilson's intentions actually are.
"The Sussex either was or was not
orpedoed by the Germans" says the
rankfurter Zeitung in its comment
d the American note.
The paper believes, in the absence
further proofs to the contrary, that
le United States does not desire war,
hich might quickly follow a breach
relations.

Smart Undergarments.

The evolution of women's undergar-
ments has been SO rapid that it is by ne
means a simple matter to keep pace with
1t, nor to recognize in the deliberately
trimmed garments of silk, satin and vel
vet-yes, velvet-even a resemblance to
their progenitors, the muslin underwear
OF a generation or two ago.
The fad for velvet in u-ndergarments
is new this season. Boomers of this
material, which are Joined at the waist
line to a crepe or knitted silk chemise
are the latest things in accessories Of
this sort. 1t seems entirely in keepingt
for velvet to be used for trimming bath
robes, whether for collars, cuffs or orna-
mental tabs, but as a material for en-
bellishing pajamas and n%ightgowns,
whatever the fabrics, it does seem the
height of absurdity-but those who ought
to know say that the thick-piled mater
ial will be used one of these days for
entire sleeping garmentsi
The Italian silk underwear-of course.
much of it never saw Italy-is more or
nate h ever; tucks, hand embroidery
and lace are used singly or in combina-
tons on these garments. Shocking, too,
Is seen, but to a greater extent is this
employed on chemises and n~ightgowns.
And, speaking of n~ightgowns, there are
some extremely dainty-they say they
are practical, too-nightgowns of alba
tross. Many of these have drawn work
designs with lace edgings as a finish to
neck and sleeves. 1t is well to be sure
that the albatross has been thoroughly
shrunk in all undergarments If one
wishes to make their term of usefulness
commensurate with their initial cost.
These garments, which slip over the
head, are trimmed with silk stitching
in Greek key designs, the turnover collar
and cuffs affording field for dainty hand
work.
The bodice top glove silk vests and
combination suits, which are held on the
shoulder by straps of silk ribbon, launder
admirably. So, too, do those made of
a special satin woven expressly for un-
dergarments. This comes in flesh color
and white. Georgette crepe Is a favorite
trimming for this material.
For a long time those fond of dainty
hand work have regretted that the ex-
quisite samples of embroidery from the
Philippines were not more carefully cut,
according to the up-to-date American
standards. This difficulty has been
remedied, and today one may find these
garments as altogether satisfying in cut
as in design.

When Love is Lost.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

When love is lost, the day sets towards
the night,
Albeit the morning sun may still be
bright,
And not one cloud-ship sails across the
sky.
Yet from the places where 1t used to lie
Gone is the lustrous glory of the light.
No splendor rests in any mountain
height,
No scene spreads fair and beauteous to
the sight;
All. all seems dull and dreary to the
eye
When love is lost.
Love lends to life its grandeur and its
might;
Love goes, and leaves behind it gloom
n blight;
Like ghosts of time the pallid hours drag
by,
And grief's one happy thought is that we
die.
All, what can recompense US for ita
flight.
When love is lost?

Fril1s of Fashion.

Chiffon Jokes are much in evidence.
Colored net frocks are apt to b

Lingerie corars in Puritan style are
charming.
Waists made in true tailored style are

Silk suits are coming into favor for
next season.
High-crowned hats are a feature of
spring millinery.
Pink batiste is used for n~ightgowns
and combinations.
Hair bands are now made to match
ones evening frock.
A white faille blouse is worn with a
myrtle green cloth skirt.
Blouses will be more popular than ever
during the coming months.
Sleeves are growing decidedly more
baggy from elbow to wrist.
Blouses that are one mass of the
tiniest tucks are returning.
A great deal of gold lace is used In
evening dresses. Some frocks are made
entirely of gold cloth.
Summer outer wraps will be mostly
of pongee. Many OF them have Innings
of brilliantly colored silk.

Dynamite.

The great respect for dynamite
which people entertain is not because
the stuff is ornamental, proud or vain
1t boasts no classic symmetry, it has
no brilliant looks; it's taste is not
the sort that's recommended by the
cooks, and people who have followed
in where it has left it's smell have
remarks so vivid that they wouldn't
do to tell.
The thing which holds for dyna
mite the public's real regard is this
that when it has a job it labors fast
and hard. 1t scorns the stately
leisure of the Mexican or Turk and
never takes a week or two to do a
piece of work. 1t diligently hustles
till it's simple task is done before it
ever thinks of recreation, sport or
fun.
Where dynamite is busy, careful
folks are never found with idle in.
terruptions or with questions to pro-
pound. They say: 81 see you're oc-
cupied--I1l call again-good day.
They do not pause till they are six or
seven blacks away. Ambitious fell
low citizens should strive with all
their might to initiate the industry
displayed by dynamite.

The New Stationery.

Women are displaying as much fas-
tidiousness about colors in Stationery
as in clothes. And to meet their exact
ing demands the tints and designs this
year are varied and even fantastic.
Paper in a shade of burnt orange
and deep yellow is embellished with
quaint little silhouettes. The contrast
of the a figure outlined against the
rather glaring shade of the paper pro-
duces an odd effect.
Robins egg blue, fawn and we'll
chosen shades of lavender and pink are
generously displayed in the new sta
tionery. Some of the papers in these
colors show harmonizing stripes, in bar
like effect, running across them.
In some French paper an elaborate
border on the envelopes makes UP for
the p~lainness of the paper. The colors
on the heavy border give the effect of
Persian ribbon. Others display a fetch
ing color scheme suggesting sunlight.
The italian green paper which was
SO popular last year has been displaced
by a blue which borders so closely on the
green that it has often been mistaken
for it.
Plain paper is always In good taste
and a very heavy and rough-fike pa
per, large size. seems to be a fayorite
at present with those Who prefer the
simpler effects.
