IRELAND IS IN GRIP
OF STERN MILITARY CENSORSHIP

WATERFORD. ireland. April %
Southern Ireland is in the grip of a
stern military censorship which vir-
tual1y cuts it off from all news of the
stirring events now occurring in Dub
lin. The newspapers here have been
permitted to publish only the briefest
official reports and the people of this
section are awaiting with keen ex-
pectancy the details of the uprising
The busy city of Waterford. although
quiet prevails here has been cut off
from ALL wire communication with out
Sdle points with the exception of the
direct wire with London. and so rigid
rs the military rule that even tele-
phonic communication from house to
house has been forbidden. The situa-
ton here is said to be a good example
of the conditions prevailing under mil
ltary rule in other sections of ireland.
Waterford hears that Dublin is sur
rounded by great Gordon of troops
and that railway traffic from southern
ireland to Dublin has been suspended

unconfirmed, rumors regarding events
in various parts of Ireland outside OF
Dublin have been received by word of
mouth. With all these reports. how
ever. is coupled the statement that the
military have the situation well in
hand and that sporadic outbreaks have
been quickly crushed.
The Sim Fein. which is credited with
fathering the uprising. has an organi-
zation of considerable extent, but is
said to be strongest in Cork. Kerry,
Wexford and Dublin. OF these organi
cations that in Wexford appears quite
active, but Cork is said to be quiet. No
report has been received here from
Kerry.
Waterford has only small body of
Sim Feiners. but every precaution is
being taken. The post Office. which
controls the wires to London. was
guarded all last night by a large body
of police. and the big bridge over the
river was lifted, presumably to pre-
vent a possible invasion of the main
section of the town from the direction
Of Wexford.

SIR ROGER EASEMENT VISITOR
HERE RECENTLY, IS REPORT
Irish Leader Arrested for Gun-Runnine Said
to Have Been in Washington
Within Month.

4 strange rumor was circulating
last night that Sir Roger Easement.
the Irish leader. who was captured
while trying to land guns and am
munition on the coast of Ireland, was
seen in Washington within a month.
1t may be idle roman ncing, though it is
probably that the Irish knight could
have gone all over the District without
being recognized. for when he was
here for brief visit in the summer
of 1914 he made no public appearance
and met but few people. ON the other
hand according to Washingtonian
who knows him, it is unlikely that
auy one who ever saw him could fail
to recognize him. or mistake any one
else for him.

Coffee With or Without.

Evidently the Germans do not take
kindly to black coffee, for we are told
that on the day when the sale of milk
is forbidden in Munich the coffee
houses are almost empty. Yet for
many years after coffee was first
drunk in Europe neither the Germans
nor anyone else thought of mixing it
with milk. any more than the Turks
and Arabs do now.
The use of coffee au lait seems to
date from 1857. Nine. de Sevigne,
writing to her daughte: in that year,
said that a doctor much in vogue "has
taught to mix sugar and milk with
