BUILDINGS IN DUBLIN FIGHT
GERMAN BATTLE SQUADRON
MAKES ATTACK ON ENG
LlSH COAST.

London, April ga revolution
airy outbreak in which British troops
and volunteers sustained relatively
heavy casualties, and raid by a
German battle cruiser squadron on
the east coast of England, in which
the raiders escaped after having
bombarded Lowestoft, are the out
standing features of the war news.
So far as has been made public
the revolution in Ireland has not
extended beyond Dublin, where
members of the Sine Fein society
on Monday captured the postofiice
and other points in Dublin and in
fighting which ensued with the
troops and loyalists, killed at least
IL Of the city's defenders and
wounded nearly a score of others.
What the losses of the revolutionists
were has not been stated. The Brit
ish government states that the revo-
luton situation in Dublin now is
well in hand.
The German battle cruiser squad
ron made its attack on Lowestoft,
opening fire on the coast and kill
ing two men, one woman and a
child. British light cruisers, torpedo
boat destroyers and aircraft chased
the Germans, who put back hastily
towards Germany. Two British
cruisers and destroyer were hit
by German shells, but none were
sunk. Whether the Germans suf.
fered any damage is not known.
Except in Lorraine there has beer
an entire absence of infantry fight
ing on the western front. The biz
guns, however, have continued theil
rain of shells on opposing positions
at various points.

report showing that during its ses-
sion l07 witnesses were examined
and 13 true bills returned John
ndum who killed c. NJ. Iolllc m
De Caledonia neighbofrood several
months ago was not indicted. II is
generally understood that Mr.. 0dum
killed Mr.. Lollar in self defense,
and members of the grand jury evi-
IDENTIFY believed that the evidence
submitted to them was not suffic-
lent to warrant indictment. Mr.
0dum, who since the homicide has
been IN tL' county Jail, was released
as soon as the inquisitorial body ad-
journed.
During the past few days the time
of the court has been taken up with
cases of minor Importance. In the
case of the Southern Railway Com
pany, which is suing the ID. S. Pate
Lumber Company to recover ap-
proximately $500 alleged to be due
as carrying charges on various ship
ments of lumber, w. C. Meek, attor-
ney for plaintiff, filed a demurrer
in which he sought to invoke the
statute of limitations, but the de-
murrer was overruled and the case
will be heard on its merits this morn
ing, The Southern Railway is being
represented by Messrs. Sturdivant,
Owen and Garnett
J. L. Simpson, a negro who some
time ago forged the name of Mr.. c.
W. Jernigan to a check for $1l0,

National Bank for payment, was
convicted and sentenced to serve
three years and six months in the
penitentiary. Before trial was en-
tered ineo Mr.. p. G. Barksdale, attor
ney for defendant, filed motion to
quash the indictment on the ground
that Hon. b. A. Weaver, foreman of
the grand jury, is president of the
Columbus National Bank, and that
Mr.. Jernigan, whose name was forg-
ed to the check, was also member
of the inquisitorial body. Testimony
showed, however, that neither gen
tleman was present when the iadict-
ment was found, and the motion
was overruled.
A special venire of forty men has
been ordered for the trial of Will

THE HUNT FOR VILLA

It he cordial relations between President Wilson and veuustiano Carrauza eudase, the little jaunt Of American troops into Mexico may serve good purposes wholly aside from DuEishing Villa. Fore most among the experiments which The authorities wished to try are thr yssect on the American public of a rigid press censorship and workout for the aviation corps. Al so the mobilization of the army on the Mexican border and the dis patchin. of a formidable expedi- ttonary force will serve in lieu of the usual army peace maneuvers.
 The u~ess censorship seems to be effective enough To be sure contradictory reports come over the wires and he casual reader gets The impression that 7he redoubt- able Villa is in two or three places as once, but if the purpose is to Keep military information from the bandit, tIe censorship has been successful. Tho correspondents, threatened with cOurt-m@rtial at the front if they print unauthorized dis patches. and with having their line Of commHuication with the home of flee pay roll cut if they don't get scoops, are greatly harassed and ps.turbed individuals. However. their annoyance is not as great as as that Of the reader who waocs through contradictory re- po,'s.
 So far the work of the flying cG.rs has been disappointing. Of tho eight machines assigned to the cyosdi.iou, two already have gone out of business through sheer in ah"ity to fly Presumably the reualnfng six machines are en-  de7y9rmg to distinguish between
