BRITISH ESTIMATE or
 GERMAN PEACE ovERTUREs
Lord Cecil Roberts Says They Do Not
 Offer a Basis for Negotiations.

London, May I2, 6.35 D. nn.-'@The last peace oYertures said to be of Ger man origin, while not as insolent and impossible as previous statements on the same subject, certainly do not yet offer a basis for negotiations said Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, in a discussion with the Asso- ciated Press of the last and reputed German peace terms Lord Robert continued:
 heially or unofiicially, any direct peace suggestions from Germany and the only indirect overtures we are aware of appear in the speech of Chancel- Tor Won Bethmann- Hollweg and the recent German note to America. We would not think of discussing or even considering any overture without con- sulting our allies. No formal or in formal conference for this purpose ever has taken place.
 "In diplomatic procedure a neutral is hardly likely to make any sugges- tion of peace terms unless certain they are acceptable to the recipient.
 If Germany should decide to ap- proach us through the medium of the United States, the latter would have to use it's own judgment as to whether or not to deliver the request"
 While disclaiming any knowledge of the internal condition of Germany. Lord Robert declared that the increas ing reports of peace overtures indicate there is some truth to the stories that the central powers are in desperate straits.

Switching their attack from the Verdun region against the French. the Germans have begun again a sharp lffensive against the British line around Hu1luch.
 Preceding their movements with the usual heavy bombardments the Germans loosened an infantry attack against the British lines in the region of Vermelles and were successful in capturing first line trenches over a front of about 500 yards. The Brit ish admit the loss of the positions, but say that part of them were retaken in a counter-attacl.
 Berlin declares that in their defence of the trenches, an despecially later in the counter-attack, the British suf- fered heavy casualties and in addi- tion lost men made prisoners and sew ernl machine guns captured.
 Around Verdun the French on the left bank of the Mouse have recap tured points of vantage previously taken from them southeast of Haul court by the Germans. Bombardments are again taking place in the vicinity of Lemort Homme and Cumieres and against the French first and second line trenches on the right bank of the Mouse between the Haudromont Wood and vaux.

Norfolk, Va, May 12.-British own- CTS of the German prize ship Appam began their effort to recover possession of the vessel in federal court here to- day with the submission of a letter from Secretary Lansing to the German ambassador at Washington expressing the opinion that the AppaIn did not fall under the protecting clauses of the Prussian- American treaty.

SUFFICIENT EXECUTIONS
 OF IRISH INsuREcTIoNIsTs
To Show Governments Determination
 to Stamp Out Treason.

Dublin, May 12, via London, May 1S. 12.S5 a. m.-The opinion that sufficient executions have been carried out in connection with the recent revolt to show the governments determination to stamp out treason is gathering strength in all circles in Dpblin. All leaders of the uprising have been shot and many of their followers have been punished with imprison- ment.
 The correspondent of The .Associat- ed Press has made searching inquiry among the various classes of society, including civil officials. business men and workmen of all grades. and found striking unanimity in the view that the government will be faced with a very serious disaffection, even among the hitherto loyal nationalists, should executions continue.
 Arrests and deportations are also arousing antipathy, especially in cases where persons were arrested merely bcause Sim Feiners fired from the roofs of their houses, often without the knowledge of the occupants. It IS asserted that no fewer than ten nu- nicipal councillors Of Dublin have dis appeared since the revolt began ana whether they were jailed. deported or killed in the fighting is unknown.

M. E. CHURCH REvIsEs
 BOOK OF DISCIPLINE
Members May Now Play Cards, Dance
 and Attend Theatre.

Saratoga Springs. N. Y. May 12.- Members of the Methodist Episcopal church who play cards, dance and at tend the theatre will not longer be liable to expulsion, if recommenda- tions made by subcommittee of the general conference, which has been considering the question of amuse- ments. are adopted by the commit tee on the state of the church and lat CT by the conference. The report was offered to the main committee this afternoon and after an acrimonious discussion action was deferred until Monday.
 By vote of 10 to 8 the sub-com- nittee recommended the elimination from the book of discipline of the clause prohibiting these amusements and offered as substitute an addi- tional paragraph in which warning is made against the diversions. The ef- feet of the proposed change is to re- move the absolute prohibition, but to place the church on record as still strongly opposed to these forms of amusement. A minority report was submitted advising the retention of the paragraph as it now stands.

 Considerable infantry fighting. which as yet has been without result, is in progress on the Dvinsk. and Jacob stadt sectors of the Russian front. Pe- trograd reports that German attacks at several points here and farther south have been repulsed.
 In the Austro- Italian theater in- tense artillery actions are ensuing in the Col di Lana zone. and the Italians have put down two. Austrian attempts to attack against captured positions at Mount Cul1la.
 Petrcgrad reports further progress for the Russians fighting against the Turks near the Persian frontier. with Bagdad as their objective. Here the Turks attempted to take the offensive, but Petrograd says the movement was repulsed. Farther north. near As- cllkala, which is situated some fifty miles west of Erzerum, the Russians claim to have made further progress westward.
 This. however is at variance with the claims of ConstantinopIe, which says the Russians driven out of their positions at Mout Rope, west of Er- zerum, are making every effort to maintain themselves in new positions.

HEARINGS RESUMED ON

Testimony Regarding His Connection
 With Merger of Drug Companies.


 Washington. May 12.-Re- opened hearings before the senate judiciary sub- committee Investigating the lit ness of Louis D. Brandeis for the SUI preme bench began and ended today with the introduction of testimony regarding MT. BrandeiS' connection as counsel with the merger last January of the United Drug company and the Riker- -Hegeman Drugstores Company and a statement by Commissioner Harlan that MT. Brandeis' services to the Interstate Commerce Commission in the five per cent. advance rate case were eminently satisfactory.
 The sub committee, which already has recommended by vote of 3 to 2 confirmation of the Brandeis nomina- ton, will draft a supplementary re- port when today's evidence has been printed. There was no indication to- night as to when a vote in the full committee might be expected.
 Louis K. Liggett, of Boston, direc- tor of the United Drug Company; Frederick K. Snow, his attorney, and George W. Anderson, United States district attorney at Boston, told to- day of MT. Brandeis' meing employed to give an opinion to MT. Liggett as to the validity of the drug merger and of his efforts to convince MT. An- derson that the consolidation was not in violation of the Sherman Antitrust law. Mr. Anderson said he made a i final report to the department of jus tice adverse to the merger on April F and he had not been informed as yet whether he should begin proceed ings against the parties to it.
 Commissioner Harlan stated that MT. Brandeis was employed by the commission not to represent the ship pers, but the public, in seeing that all ] the facts in the rate case were pre- sented. He said he would have re- garded him as failing in his duty if he had withheld any important con eIusions he reached in regard to the ease.

Meanwhile nobili- from the border states and of addi- ticnal regulars to strengthen the bor- der patrol at points along the 1,800 mile stretch not protected by the ex- petition. If raiding is renewed, addi- tional state troops will be called out for border duty, and wherever the bandits leave a hot trail the army will not hesitate to pursue them into Mex ico.
 Opposition to Withdrawal of Troops.
 An indication of the attitude of some members of congress toward the sug gestion of General CaTranZa that the American expedition be recalled came in the senate today when Senator Lewis declared he believed the major ity of the senate never would vote for withdrawal until the murderers of Americans had been punished The Illinois senator spoke in reply to a suggestion by Senator Kenyon that nothing adequate was being done to safeguard the soldiers now in Mexico. Senator Lewis declared every possible precaution was being taken by the war department.
 
 seo Afredondo, Carranza's ambassador designate, took any step during the day toward renewing diplomatic discussion of the points that arose during the military conference.
 Funston's Orders Unchanged. War department officials laid stress on the fact that General Funston's orders were unchanged. While General Pershing now is coneeatratirg his forces along a shortened line, it was stated positively that he would hurry south again immediately if he received definite information that Villa or any considerable number of his band had gathered at a point within striking range.
 Cause of Redistribution of Troops.
 General Pershing, it was stated, kept going as long as he had a hot trail to follow For days there has been no mention of Villas name in official des- patches and officials here and at the border do not know his whereabouts, or even whether he is still alive It was this situation, it was indicated, as well as the increasing danger of clash

PREMIER AsoUITH's
 VISIT TO DUBLIN
Hailed by His Supporters as Stroke
 of Genius.


 London, May 12, 11.z2 D. m.-Pre- mier Asquith's sudden resolve to go to Dublin, which was hailed by his supporters as a stroke of genius, has had the effect of assuaging political passions. Parliament does not meet Fridays and the fact that there was no session today helped to bring about day of calm, in strange con- trast to yesterdays sensations.
 The only new fact concerning the situation in Ireland is that two other leaders in the rebellion, whose execu- tion was delayed by Premier As- quith's undertaking that there would be no further executions until after parliament had debated John Dillon,s motion, have been put to death. They were James Connolly, one of the signers of the proclamation of the Irish republic, and John McDermott. It seems extremely probable that there will now be no more executions.
 Much regret is expressed by inf1uen- tial Liberal newspapers that the gov ernment failed to stop the execution of Messrs. Connolly and McDermott. The Manchester Guardian and the Nation contend that communication of these sentences would have been not only clemency but policy.

Believed to Have Caused Death of a
 Volunteer Fire Fighter.

Middletown, N.

 The town hall at Middle Corners and number of dwelling houses were saved late last night by the efforts of the volunteer brigade and a shift in the wind, after several lumber camps had been destroyed. The embers were famed afresh by a morning breeze, however, and when the wind grew into gale call was sent which again brought out all the fire fighters together with volunteers from other towns.
