IRISH REBELS SURRENDER
TO THE BRITISH TROOPS
All Leaders of Dublin Revolt Lay
Down Arms Revolters Urged
to Quit.

Dublin, via London, May All the
leaders of the insurrection are re-
ported to have surrendered uncondi-
tionally. 1t also is reported that the
Four Courts district has been recap
tured.
London, May Am official state
ment issued by the official press bu-
reau regarding the rebellion in Ire
land says:
"The general officer commanding the
Irish command has reported the stu
alton in Dublin much more satisfac-
tory. Throughout the country there
was much more to be done, which
would take time but he hoped that
the back of the rebellion had been
broken.
Saturday night messengers were
sent out from the rebel leaders in
Dublin to the rebel bodies in Galway,
Clare. Wexford, Louth and Dublin
counties, ordering them to surrender,
and priests and the royal Irish con-
stabulary are doing their utmost to
disseminate this information.
LAS regards the situation in Dublin,
rebels from the areas of Sackville
street, the post Office and the Four
Courts are surrendering freely. More
incendiary fires took place in Sack
vile street last night. but the fire
brigade is now able to resume work.
1T is further reported that up to
the present 707 prisoners have been
taken. Included among these is the
Countess Markiewicz.
THE latest information from Ennis
corthy shows that the rebel leader at
this place does not believe the rebel
leaders message from Dublin, and has
proceeded to that city in motor car
under escort to verify the information.
"At New Ross, Corey, Wicklow, Ba-
genalstown and Arklow the situation
is reported normal. Carlow and Dun
lawn are believed to be quiet"

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poiscns.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipateds
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
Just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, g.
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous days Loison-
GUS waste, gases and sour aile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like,
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for q
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, SO hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.-Adv.

j. S. REFUSES TO
WITHDRAW ARMY
Mai. Gen. Scott Given Orders by
the President.
ONLY ONE MORE CONFERENCE
Chief of Staff Ordered Not to Make
Any Terms With Obregon Condi-
ditioned on Withdrawal OF
Troops from Mexico.

Washington, May 3. - President
Wilson will not withdraw from Mex
leo until Villa has been captured or
killed.
Notification to this effect has been
given to the Carranza government
through General Obregon in confer
ence with General Scott at Ell Paso
and Juarez. The moment Villa S
apprehension or death has been Of
fcially reported the United States
will order every soldier home.
Further, the United States has no
desire to remain in occupation OF
Mexican territory one moment
longer than absolutely necessary. 1t
has no desire or intention to pene-
trate Mexico beyond certain points.
If it will ease the situation OF the
Mexican government, the president
is prepared to order General Pershlng
and all the fores under his command
to take station in northern Chlhua-
hua; this on condition that the Car
rama troops Immediately display &C.
tivity in the hunt for Villa and CO.
operate with the American forces in
running him down.
More concern was expressed on
Monday over the situation than at any
time since the troops entered Mexico.
General Obregon seems to have in
structions of a precise character or
his military mind does not permit him
to depart from them.
General Scott, on the other hand, is
empowered to use his discretion on all
points save that requiring the con-
tinuance of American soldiers in
Mexico until Villa has been caught or
killed.
The authorities have some fear that
Obregon, finding the president indis-
posed to withdraw, will terminate the
negotiations. AS Carranza must do
what Obregon desires, it is apparent,
the first chief will be compelled to
back up his subordinate.
War would be the undoubted result
of such a situation.
Therefore General Scott is expected
to use all the diplomacy of which he
is possessed to continue the negotla-
tons and finally to bring Obregon
around to the view that the good rela-
tions of the two countries demand an
adjustment of the differences which
exist as result of the failure to in
flict punishment on Villa.
If the American troops can remain
in Mexico until Villa and his bands
have been exterminated, interven'
ton, it is regarded here, would become
a remote probability.

EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
my wife was victim Of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
'"We knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take it's place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all Of
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration,
as IL all happened so quickly. Eacn
day there was improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place Of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum CereaI-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs'
instant Postum soluble powder

ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes

tatiVe Decision.
Washington, May 3. = Substantial
agreement with the senate's plan for
army reorganization was reached on
Monday by the senate-house conferees
on the military bill. 1t was consid-
cred a marked triumph for big army
advocates
A regular army of 100000 men at
peace strength has practically been
agreed on by the conferees. With the
plans for expansion as provided in the
bill which has passed the senate, this
would produce an army of about $780,
900 men in war strength. The bill as
it passed the senate fixed the peace
strength at 100000 men.
The agreement on the size of the
army is tentative and dependent on
settlement of other features of the bill.

ONLY SURE ROAD TO. SUCCESS
Fair Amount of Talent and Untiring
Application Will Win in
the End.


Some self-conceited philosopher has
said that genius is nothing but an in
finite capacity for untiring application.
1t would seem that this attempt to de-
fine genius would apply more appro-
priately to talent. 1t is also an OBJ
vious fact that many people, thought
full otherwise, use language loosely.
We would think the remark quoted
about a case in point.
There is no doubt that talent, to
make itself effective, requires untiring
effort and unlimited application. Given
talent, and application, success IS sure
to follow in any mans career. Many
of us are very much inclined to find
fault with society, and lay all our fail
ure to succeed at it's door. Society is
not a concrete fact. It lis simply an
abstraction invented to represent hui
manity in the aggregate Nature has
been very niggardly in her gifts to
many of us, and where this is so no
amount of effort, no matter how con-
tinuously it is applied, can lead to
large success.
Those who find fault with society
as the cause of their failure are
wrong. Given a fair amount of talent
that is brains-and untiring applica-
ton, and success will be achieved 80
times out of every 100. This may be
proved by reference to any walk in
life to which human beings apply them
selves to reach success.
