German Submarines
Are Believed to Have
Landed Armies in ireland

London. April %. - Although the
story of the early hours of the Dublin
uprising has now been disclosed in
considerable detail, England is still
without authentic information as to
the progress of later events. Normal
telegraph, telephone and mail services
with Ireland have not been restored
and the existing means of communica-
tion are subjected to such strict cen
sorship that il is possible to obtain
only fragmentary information, such
news dispatches as came through this
morning added little to the informa-
uon contained in last nights official
adVices and stories of eye witnesses.
Casualties List Growing
So far as official reports show the
situation in Dublin is gradually being
brought under control. There seems
TO be no doubt that the rebels still con-
troll various parts of Dublin and that
street fighting continues with a length
ening list of casualties. 1t is reported
the casualty list already exceeds 100.
OF the situation outside Dublin lit
tie is known beyond the official admis-
sion that the dissatisfaction has spread
10 various localities in the west and
south of Ireland Field Marshal
French's statement of last night de-
scrihed these disturbances as local in
character and so far as has been re-
Vealed by information which has pass
ed the censorship they have not been
attended by heavy fighting.
Snipers Pick on Civilians
Upwards of 100 persons have been
killed or injured thus far in Dublin,
a correspondent at Belfast of the
Evening News reports in a dispatch
filed last night. lie says the rioters,
hidden in houses commanding impor-
tant street functions or covered by
barricades in the streets, are keeping
Ft-n. a
casualties continues to lengthen. 1t
includes many civilians who, the cor
respondent says, have been picked off
by Sim Fein snipers for no other rea-
son than that they were believed to be
loyal.
The Gordon of troops is being drawn
gradually but surely around the rebel
strongholds. The authorities are car
rying on their difficult task with the
greatest forbearance. Every effort is
being made to avoid unnecessary
bloodshed and damage
Germans Landed Arms
Tho thing that surprises me the most
about the uprising in Ireland is the
supply of munitions i'm the hands of
the rebels" said an Irishman who ar
rived i'm London this morning. lie
spent ten hours i'll Dublin on Tuesday
and, departing that evening, remained
until last night I'm Kingstown.
There is little doubt in the popular
mind mat Germans have been landing
arms from submarines for months, -
he continued, land it is even said
though l don't believe it-that a few
Germans also landed and organized.
81 learned that the rebels made
prisoners of a large number of police
men and a few stray soldiers at the
Royal Irish constabulary depot and at
Phoenix Park.
MY walk through the center of the
city Tuesday afternoon was very event
full and l was glad finally to reach
kingstown. l was challenged many
times by both rebel and loyal sentries
The rebel sentries were threatening
but allowed me to pass after searching
for arms.
Countess Shoots Guard
II heard that the Countess Markie-
vicz, the sister of an Irish baron, who
was prominent in the Larkin strike
and a leading figure in the present
movement, shot dead a guard in front
of Dublin Castle in an effort to cap
ture the castle. This effort proved
abortive."
