GERARD RECEIVED BY GERMAN EMPEROR
Tentative Draft of Reply to America Completed, Says
 Cologne Gazette

Beriin, April a.s (via London United States Ambassador Gerard was received in audience by Emperor William last night and conferred with other leaders of the empire. No intimation has heen given as to when the German reply to the American note will be ready except a hint contained in a Berlin dispatch to the Cologne Gazette. which said:
 s'The consultations at great headquart- CTS probably are near conclusion. .. The visit of the American amba assador was designed to permit him to consult with persons in authority there over the situation. It is assumed their final de- cision also will be communicated to him there.''
 The Tageblatt explains this morning that it's statement that the basic fea- lures of the answer already have been settled was misunderstood. The paper as- serts it meant only to say that draft of the answer had been made but that a decision had not yet been reached The wording of this mornings s statement indicates clearly, however, that there was no misunderstanding on the part of the readers, but that the Tageblatt made an error yesterday.
 There is virtually no comment in the press upon the situation except from the pen of Count Ernst von Reventlow who still appears to believe breach with the United States is inevitable.

Alabama Prohibition
 Laws in Georgia NoW

Atlanta, April 2s.-Georgia's new prohibition law. one of the strong est yet passed by any state. prac- tically went into effect this midnight. Tho anti shipping provision serves to close the locker clubs. beer saloons and stops dispensing liquor by the more in fluential social organizations after May l.
 Virtually all the clubs had pur- chased stocks in the past few months with the proviso that any left over could be shipped back when the law went into effect. Much of this was shipped out of the state today and to- night
 Many difficulties are placed in the way of the person who wishes to have shipped the small amount allowed by the law. Transportation companies are held responsible for the consignee sign-- ing a receipt, attested by notary. pub lie, and the delivery of the receipt to county ordinaries. Attorney Gen- eral Walker yesterday decided that the transportation companies could not charge the usual notary fee for wit messing such receipts and that. every agent of the companies could act as a notary to the extent of witnessing liquor shipment receipts.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-30

One express company has announce1 that it will not deliver liquor but . Atlanta has leased a spacious store-s room where. all liquor shipments will be handled and where special accom- T modations have been provided for com signees to get their packages and go. through the legal form with as lit- tie annoyance as possible.
 The law prohibiting advertising of liquor will make it necessary for such advertisements in newspapers and peril odicals to be eliminated before they. can be sold in Georgia.
 Statutes which govern the new con ditions are composed of three laws passed at special session of the les-' islature which met last December. Briefly, they provide that no beverano containing more than one-half Of one per cent of alcohol may be sold; thar one person may not receive more than two quarts of liquor Or 4s pints of beer or one gallon of wine in any 50 days and that no liquor advertisinn may appear in any publication distrib- uted in the state
 Under the law, operative fora nuns. Der of years the alcoholic percenta9e allowed made beer saloons possible ana in the absence of shipping regulation locker clubs could operate.

 Addresses in various American cities of persons are being investigated by the police who are pushing the probe until the secret service men arrive. Some of the addresses are Mobile, Ala, Gaines vile, Tex. Houston. Tex, Minnieapolis Minn. Brooklyn, N. Y. The police point out that at many of the places in the south, where the suitcases have been. cotton congresses were burned under mysterious circumstances.

 One note book printed in German one hymn book printed in German one copy Of the New Testament and Psalms print ed in German one stripped shirt stained with blood; pair of leather soled shoes; two balls of twine; part of a large ratcE box.

 Regulars now command all the rebel positions, the fall of which is merely a question of time The streets of Dublin were deserted today except for sentries and military guards.
 Business was at standstll. Civilians watched anxiously from tightly curtained windows Field guns were barking, ma chine guns rattled and rifle fire was pat tering, apparently from several points simultaneously
 When the Associated Press correspond ent landed early today at the quay, near the custom house, the pinging of bullets from the rifles of snipers was frequent.
 Augustine Birrell the secretary for Ire land. had made the passage from Eng land with the newspaper men. As he stepped ashore he shouted cheerily, T wish you luck, gentlemen. don't know what will happen to you, now that you are here.''
 Soldiers and rebels fired at each other from street corners, wharves, roofs and windows. Sentries with fixed bayonets on loaded rifles stationed every few yards. shouted their challenges to halt.
 NAVAL GUNS JOIN IN
 Naval guns joined and added to the deafening gunfire.
 From the quay the respective positions could be seen. The rebels were holding a square section of territory from the
