matte relations but that the United

ably will take no ORA site action pend

President Wilson's so-termed "unal-
terable position" that the abandon
ment of present submarine methods
must be declared and effected imme-
diately or the United States must

many makes a forbidden attack or flu

Arrested

Former American Min

go Charged with Com
plicity in Rebellion

London, May 4.-(312 P. M.).-James NJ.
Sullivan Of New York, formerly American
minister to Santo Domingo, has been ar
rested in Dublin on the charge of COM
plcity in the Irish rebellion.
Mr.. Sullivan was arrested by the mil
itary authorities Of Dublin on April
So Mrs. Sullivan, who was with her
husband, wrote on May 1 a letter
which has just been received by Wal
ter Hines Page, the American ambas-
sador, who addressed note to Sir Ed
ward Grey, the foreign secretary, ask
ing full information as to whether Mr..
Sullivan was still in custody, the ma
ture Of the charges, and how soon he
would be tried.
1t is understood here that Mr.. Sulli-
van has been in Ireland considera-
BILE time, having arrived there soon
after the severance Of his connection
with. the American state department.
Mr.. Sullivan sailed from New York last
July for Liverpool with his wife and son,
saying he was going to Limerick, Ireland,
to visit his mother He said he expected
to be back in New York by September
first.
Shortly before he sailed Mr.. Sullivan
was virtually asked to resign his post as
minister to the Dominican Republic as
the result of an investigation conducted
by a commission headed by Senator Phe-
Ian Of California.
Mr. Sullivan was born in Killarney,
Ireland in 1878.

London May 4.-Speaking on a mo-
ton to reject the military service bill,
David Lloyd George, minister Of mu-
nitions. said in the House of Commons
today that he would rather be driven
out Of the Liberal party, even out Of
political life altogether, than have upon
his conscience the responsibility Of re-
fusing the demands of the military au-
thorities for men which might make
sll the difference between defeat and
victory.
Finances Strong
Those who asserted that If the war
lasted until 1917 the nation could not
"stay the couse," were both inaccurate
and injudicious. He had consulted the
leading financiers Of the country, and
they had not the least hesitation in
affirming that, however long the war
lasted, it could outstay anything Ger
many could do, but in any case it was
wise to apply it's full power forthwith.
Mr.. Lloyd George argued that until
Russia had completed her equipment
so as to employ her immense reserves
of men, it was essential that France
and Great Britain put every available
man in the field. Germany, he said,
was we'll aware Of the danger Of the
country failing to take the utmost
share it possibly could Of this years
burdens Immediately and he ventured
to say that the passage Of this bill
ould be in itself about the worst news
the German general staff could read.
Many Available Men
Pointing out that all the Allies were
defending their countries by compulsory
service, Mr.. Lloyd George argued that
