REBEL LEADERS IN
 DUBLIN GIVE UP
Confess That Cause of Irish Re- public" Is Lost and Surrender, But Few IrreconcilabIes Contin-
 ue Sniping-The Wreckage.

Dublin, May i.-Rebels of the rank and file of the Sim Fein fol- lowed the example of their leaders today and confessed the cause of the Irish Republic has been lost by laying down their arms at the foot of the parnell monument in Sackville street and surrendered to the British troops.
 About i50 men who have fought since Monday a week ago, marched out from their strongholds under a white flag today and gave them selves up.
 A few of the irreconciables con- tinued sniping, however, but prob ably will be killed or captured by the government troops.
 Most of the surrendered men will be taken to the prisons in the in- terior of England.
 An Associated Press correspon- dent today visited the scenes of the rioting and destruction and learned just how severe the encounters were while they lasted
 Only a few girders and window frames of some of the houses re- main along the east side of Sack vile street, the buildings being bat tered beyond recognition in many instances.
 The Dublin postoflice is a smould- ering mass of ruins, having been burned.
 Reports from the provisional districts show the greatest distur- bances outside of the city of Dublin occurred in the County of Meath. where armed rebels yesterday still were terrorizing the countryside.
 The casualties to the present time are said to be numerous, although the British troops haven't suffered as heavily as was expected from the nature of the fighting.
 A mandate has been sent out, ad- yising the rebels of the failure of the uprising.
 The fate of the prisoners now Is in the governments hands, which possesses wide powers under the martial law.

Savannah, Ga, April Whiskey yesterday afternoon began selling at five cents pint. Every other ne- gro on the streets had liquor which he was trying to selt and the bars were practically giving liquor away. At several of the best known down town bars a pint of whiskey was given away with every quarters worth of drinks The whole Savarl- nah police force was ordered on duty last night at o'clock by Chief Meldrim, as wild orgies were ex- pected and fights and perhaps seri- ous violence feared.

Press Opinion in Berlin.

Berlin, May 2.-Discussions over the answer to the American note continued Sunday at great head quarters without a conclusion being reached, according to adyices to the Lokal Anzeiger.
 The newspapers for the most part still refrain from comment Theo- dore Wolff in the Tageblatt, George Bernhard in the yossiches Zeitung; Count von Reventlow in the Tages Zeitung and the Tagliasche, Rund- schau, however, give some consider ation to the subject.
 Herr Bernhard considers the situ- ation still grave and voices a warn ing again too great optimism. He declares that the final decision de bends solely on President Wilson.
 There will be no greater mis- take" he said, than the expecta- tion that the American congress might reach a different decision than the president. The time for exer- cising influence on the American people and their representatives is past. It is not doubted now that congress stands behind President Wilson. the German leaders who have the task of framing the Ger man answer must remember this.
 We could understand any situa- tion no matter what it is under the self understandable condition which preserves Germany's dignity.
 But there must be no half way measures" says Bernhard, and the desicion reached must create a final and enduring status. He argues that if it is impossible to attain with certainty ststus that will endure it will be harder to reach a decision and the question then would be whether an advantage for the mo- ment or consideration for the future should govern. He refers to the fact that the offensive has been the guiding spirit of prussias and Ger many's military operations since the time of Frederick the Great and concludes:
 And if our statesmen in reaching a decision in the light of their in formation on all the conditions in- volved, believe they must do so in the fact of the uncertainty as to what the purposes of the other party are. they will have to take into con- sideration the question whether in such case it is not wiser to take the lead themselves rather than be forced to play to the lead of the oth- CT player"
 Herr Wolf's article refers again 10 the hopes of Germanys enemies of a rupture between the United States and Germany and to the dis senting voice of Gustav Nerve The French -Militarist agitator whom he quotes as saying that Frances only hope is Germany's thick headedness.
 Herr Wolff declares that the war can and will last long time 'un- less reason Eliminates the dark ened minds of those who still do not want peace

 Every report of the advanced cavalry columns and those reach ing here from the border, are stu died thoroughly in an attempt to obtain a proper perspective.
 The scattering bands of Villistas are being given no rest. Columns of cavalry are riding mercilesSy on their trails. These fugitiyes, now in groups of two and three and now singly, are making their way far into the wild mountain region in their attempt to escape the Ameri- cans
