LONDON, May 2.-Premier Asquith announced today to an expectant parliament that the government had at last agreed on the much discussed recruiting question and had decided on general military compulsion for the duration of the war.
 The premier claimed that the con- dition he had all along stipulated as the only justification for such step namely, general consent. now had been obtained as provided by the speeches delivered in the house of commons last week when a bill pro viding for the extension of military service was introduced by Walter Hume Long, president of the local government board, and later was with drawn.
 Mir. Asquith added that the minis ters agreed that the needful men could not be obtained by the existing machinery but that they were avail able and could readily be spared by the industries essential for the sue cessful prosecution of the war. Hav- ing given interesting details of the ma tions success in it's prodigious effort in raising five million men for the army and navy. the premier express [ ed confidence that the bill proposed would end, once and for all, the pro- longed controversy and. in genera statement of the war situation chal-

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Two weeks have passed since the United States dispatched to Germany it's note de- manding that an abandonment of present methods of submarine warfare immediately be declared and effected and tonight the state department still was without any definite confirmation indicating that the demand would be compiled with
 As the days go by and no reply comes from Berlin, and Ambassador Gerard sends no word regarding the attitude of the German government, an air of grave concern is beginning to manifest itself in administration circles. Privately no attempt is made to conceal a contrary feeling and this feeling Is certain to become more pro- nounced unless some definite news is forthcoming over night.
 It is felt here that the very length of time which has been consumed by the German government in preparing q reply in itself indicates that the communication will not take the shape of a simple response to the direct and clear-cut issue raised in the American note. It is feared that the reply is likely to assume an ar gumentative character which car scarcely be regarded as meeting tn, requirements of the United States.
 Persons in close touch with affair, at the German embassy. however, con tinue to express themselves as beinf positive that Germany will make con sessions to the United States that vii prevent a breaking off of diplomati relations. They say the Berlin gov ernment has been advised that th United States meant just what said in it's note and was not prepare, to enter into any negotiations on tn subject of warfare until the presen methods had been abandoned.

They contended that the government had been gradually driven from point to point by the con scriptionist press and that military necessities had nothing whatever tc do with the governments giving way.
 The bill will be introduced tomor- row and. it is understood, will contain no suspensory clause.
 The labor party is about equally divided for and against the bill. The Irish nationalists will stand aloof and take no part in the division. There is no hint of any cabinet resignations or of the labor members of the ministry designing.

DUBLIN. May 2.-While the situa tion outside Dublin is not so satisfac- tory today as in the city itself, it is improving and the authorities expect of armed rebellion in Ireland. flick CT still is apparent not far from Dub- lin. where a small group of adherents of James Larkin have ensconed them selves.
 Further west of the capital there still are bands of insurgents. The rebels are skeptical of the assurances given them that their comrades in Dublin have surrendered.
 As the result of the prompt meas ures by the authorities a mobile force is moving into the mountains today. preventing the Sim Feiners from as- sembling and arresting their leaders.
 We were not led badly; we were misled." said a captured rebel officer last night.
 | His remark, uttered almost in a tone of remorse at having participated | in the Sim Fein revolt, was made as he was stepping aboard a steamer at Northwall quay to be taken to Eng land. He was one of the party of 4s9 prisoners of all ranks who were cap tured Sunday.
 The prisoners included representa- tives of all parts of Ireland. For the most part they were men of good physique.
 There was almost a holiday spirit in the Irish capital today. All through the center of the city, which for g week, was the scene of fighting, peo- pie walked about freely, looking al the ruins.

 Of course, it is realized that the ab- sence of MT. Gerard from Berlin,
 probably without his code book, and his probable reluctance to entrust confidential communications to the German military telegraph, may have accounted for the absence of reports.
 High officials tonight earnestly ex- pressed the hope that a dispatch from the ambassador would be received by tomorrow.
 l Secretary Lansing had no informa- tion to lay before the cabinet at to- days meeting, and the situation was ! discussed only briefly. It was the first time in weeks that the secretary had appeared at a session of the cabi-
 net without a portfolio filled with reports and memorandum.

 This was learned today when 1t be- came definitely known in Mexican official circles that Adolfo de Huerta, for some time first assistant in the treasury department of Mexico, had been appointed civil governor of Son ora. He is said to be enroute to Sonora at this time to take office.
 General Gales will leave within the next day or two for Fl Paso via the United States it was learned late to- day intending to join General Alvaro Obregon and accompany him south.
 Gales displacement as governor has been repeatedly denied both by him and otter Mexican officials. It was not until this afternoon that a grudg- Ing admission was made that there was truth in the rumor which has persisted for several days. At the some time private telegrams from Mexico City to an American mining man confirmed the report. It is now reported in Mexican circles that Gen. eral Carranza made the appointment l of De La Huerta after the departure of General Alvaro Obregon for the I border and without the knowledge ol corsent of the war secretary. who has | Lad considerable power in the past il oictating the trend of the Sonora sit. uation.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 2.-Two men are known to have been killed, four probably fatally wounded and score of others seriously hurt this afternoon when a mob said by the authorities to have been composed principally of foreigners attacked the Edgar Thomson Works of the Car negie Steel Company in Braddock.
 A pitched battle lasting an hour followed during which four hundred shots were fired, but the rioters were finally forced to retreat in the face of a deadly fire from the riot guns and revolvers of sheriffs and plant guns. The situation is quiet tonight but 2.000 citizens of the borough have been sworn in as deputies and are patrolling the streets. District Att torney R. II. Jackson announced that he would take steps at once for the the deportation of all foreigners connected with the trouble
 The riot was the climax of a day of disorder in the boroughs of Brad dock and Rankin during which mobs stormed the plants of four big steel 
 and then partly wrecked the interior of the plants
 Many of these injured in the fight ing a. the Edgar Thomson works were spirited away by the rioters and for hours after quiet had been re- stored, injured continued to be brought to hospitals for treatment. SniQeIs hidden p--in---doorways and windows near the Thirteenth street entrance tried to pick off deputies who were fighting to hold back the mob and two deputies were said to have been hit. Women also joined in the mad fight to gain entry to the works and two of these were wounded. The two men killed were foreigners.
 The mob first attacked the office of W. J. Dixon, superintendent of transportation at the Edgar Thomson works and with clubs and stones wrecked it. Deputies, rushing to pre- vent the destruction of the office were compelled to use it as barri- ca6e and from behind the wreckags they poured shot after shot into tho mob which withdrew. After stonine the plant for 45 minutes another charge was made and in a hand to. hand struggle the deputies ana guards were forced back inside tho plant.

took part in the first conference in Juarez, who is closely conversant with the entire situation and who said:
 Between two evils you must choose the lesser. It would be folly to sup pose the de facto government wants war"
 It was gathered from this that the Mexicans had decided not to press the question of withdrawal because of the possibility that break might follow
 The negotiations today took an en- tirely unexpected turn. In the morn ing it was announced that there would probably be a meeting of the con- ferees in the afternoon with Generals ] Scott and Funston representing the United States, as in the first confer ence, and with Generals Obregon and Trevino representing Mexico.
