The danger Of war, even IL relations
with Germany are broken off, Is not
believed 20 be great Congress, which
is sensitive 90 war scares. refuses
10 be alarmed at the present trend OF
the negotiations with Germany. The
word has been passed around by lcgis-
lators who have conferred with the
President that war with Germany Is
the remotest of possibilities.
President Wilson has several cards 10
play before any act by Germany would
call for declaration Of war, Admins
tration officials point out. The most
important Of these is the declaration
of a policy Of benevolent neutrality
Such n policy would enable the United
States 10 place az the disposal % the
Allies not only the private resources OF
the country. but the public wealth as
we'll Loans could be negotiated by the
government, munitions supplied from
government stores. communication with

resource of the government except
military forces placed at the disposal
OF Germany's enemies.

the military strength of the United
States, that act as the strongest check
on Germany. Germans here openly
boast that the United States could not
supply effective military aid 20 the
Allies while the war lasts, but they
fear the enormous material resources
that the United States Government
could throw into tho balance.
Whether the fear Of Americas hos
tilitv in this way is great enough 20
compel an abandonment OF the sub
marine war on commerce ia the cues
ton that Germany ia now obliged TO
ask herself. On that question alone
depend the relations Of the two gov
eruments.
Information received tonight from
German sources is that the Berlin gov

only as cruisers against

are said to favor this plan. The State

The Kings Tommies are glad 20 do
something besides pot their own coun-

eyes and ears alert for trouble. As
usual, the poorer districts are suffering
most from the rebellion.
The military is running everything
with proverbial thoroughness. We

London papers were eagerly sought
this morning, as no boat has arrived
since Monday. Even now the bulk Of
Ireland is ignorant Of the worlds af-

traffic across the Channel is interrupt

What could not happen in twenty-four hours
Most of our army and practically all of our am
munition are east of the Rocky Mountains. These
mountains form the greatest natural barrier IN
the world.
We have six railway lines crossing them-the
Santa Fe Southern Pacific, Western Pacific,
Union Pacific Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul. These rail-
roads climb. in traversing the mountains to great
heights. pass through many tunnels and creep
over long. dizzy trestes 1t took years to con-
struct these bridges and tunnels. At eve'y
st,ategic point along these railroads are colonies
of japanese laborers, rcho are in reality Japanese
soldiers and engineers.
Among every group there are several VINO are
in the secret service Of Japan. They would De
informed Of any premeditated attack, even OF the
exact hour, long before any American had Kho"i-
edge of il.
All our transcontinental telephone and tele-
graph wires follow the lines of the railroads.
Upon receiving code instructions by telegraph or
wireless. they could in one hour, cut every tele-
phonic and Geographic wire connecting the East
with the West. In one night the railway GUARDS
could be overpowered and every tunnel blown up
and every trestle ruined.
The Coast states would be cut off from their
meat supply and California from her grain and
wheat supply; the vegetable farms and markets
are already in the hands of the japanese.
Within twenty-four hours after landing trains
could be seized by trained japanese now working
as common laborers along the railroads, and
twenty thousand trained Japanese already living
in California could be hurried to the mountain
Businesses where the railroads cross the summit.
In each of these places thousand men, with the
machine guns brought by their transports, could
hold at bay our entire mobile army of the United
States
But they need not wait for mtrailleuses from
their transport ships. There are scores OF secret
Japanese stores OF arms the Pacific; and no
one can compute the ammunition and equipment
stored IN Southern California Only lately four
warships were there two weeks Ito fish, before
our Navy Department investigated. In that dry
land guns end ammunition can be stored with
out elaborate preparation. The twenty thousand
Japanese soldiers in British Columbia, ready TO
invade from the north, are well equipped.

Arthur +. Reimer, Of Boston, has

considerable number OF rebels are
prisoners in military custody.
REPORTS this evening from the rest
Of Ireland are generally satisfactory.
The conditions at Belfast and Ulster
are normal, and the situation at Lon
donderry is stated TO be quite salts
factory. The district within hfteen
miles OF Galway also is reported nor
NAL. but rebel bands have been located
between Athenry and Craunhwell.
Nineteen rebel prisoners have been
captured and sent 20 Queenstown. An
other band of rebels is reported in
trenched at Enniscorthy, but the police
still are holding out, and roads and
railways are clear TO within four miles
of the town.
THE damage done 20 Barrow Bridge,
on the Dublin & Southeastern Railway,
is not serious"
No outbreak has occurred az Ardee
or any portion of County Louth, says
an Exchange dispatch from Drogheda,
dated Sunday.
"All is quiet at Drogheda," the cor
respondent adds, but the authorities
are prepared and are fully equal 20
any contingency. Postal, railway and
telegraphic traffic is still restricted"

other guns and ammunition. These guns were
Of the type that could be mounted on bicycles
carried on the back. Even the space under the
beds was occupied by boxes containing ammuni-
ton.
Hence, without any supplies or men even from
Japan, all of the railroads reaching the Pacific
in the North and all those reaching it in the
South could be seized and mountain passes held.
We could not march army over the Rocky
Mountains in ten years with the japanese con-
trolling the passes with rapd-fre machine guns.
We could march army after army to the
tans, but they would never get over and they
would never come back.
Even if we gained the SUBMITS we could not
reconstruct the tunnels within twelve months
two years
Meanwhile, 100000 Of the 900 Japanese in
Mexico could move on Texas and engage most Of
our mobile army. They could be supplied not
only by arms already stored in Mexico, but by
transports sent to Magdalena and Turtle bays.
Mexico has had an understanding with Japan FOR
years Six years ago Mexican silver was passing
current in the streets and bazaars of Toxic.
If the japanese, in accordance with their in
tentons were TO send an army of 100000 to our
shores, together with the 100000 already on our
territory and in Mexico and British Columbia,
they would then have attacking force of over
half million men.
West of the Rocky Mountains at our Pacif:
Coast forts and in Alaska we have about 1888
army men and the 6,751 paper militia in the
Coast states. But the armies are in five different
places, and the largest group in any one place
consists of but 1850 men. The different groups
are separated by distances of from 200 to 1000
miles. The Japanese then, would have TO COM
bat less than 1000 troops at any one place.
The japanese army would be equipped with at
least 800 field guns, their minimum regular equip
ment, and in addition at least 1000 mitrailleuses.
We have on the other side Of the Rocky Noun
tains such a small number Of guns that one hest
tates to mention them.
AS reserve, Japan has $500 field guns to
draw from, while we have but $50 for our entire
army The average size Of the japanese field
guns is greater than ours Japan's army would
certainly be equipped with sufficient ammunition;
for ten years We have not had enough on the
Pacific Coast TO fight thirty minutes.

that the back of the rebellion had been
broken.
Last night messengers were sent
out from the rebel leaders in Dublin
70 the rebel bodies in Galway, Clare,
Wexford, Louth and Dublin counties,
ordering them to surrender, and priests
and the Royal Irish Constabulary are
doing their utmost 10 disseminate this
information.
"As regards the situation in Dublin,
rebels from the areas OF Sackville
street, the postoffice and the -Four
Courts are surrendering freely. More
incendiary fires took place in Sackville
Street last night, but the fire brigade
is now able 20 resume work.
1T is further reported that up 10 the
present 707 prisoners have been taken.
Included among these is the Countess
Markievicz.
Enniscorthy Still Holds Out.
"The rebels at Enniscorthy arc re-
ported to be still in possession of this
place, and mixed column OF cavalry,
infantry and artillery, including Al
inch guns, has been sent from Wexford
with view to engaging the rebels.
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 a motor car
under escort TO verify the information.
In the mean time a truce exists.
"A deputation for a similar purpose
from the rebels at Ashbourne County
Meath has also been sent 20 Dublin.
At Galway the rebels are believed 70
be disbanding, and few arrests have
been made.
AT New Ross, Corey, Wicklow
Bagenalstown and Arklow the situa-
ton is reported normal. Carlow and

siderably improved this morning. but

quarter, however, was steadily closing
in, but house TO house fighting neces-
sarily rendered progress slow. The
postoffice and the block Of buildings
east of Sackvile Street have been de-
stroyed by fire. A party of rebels has
been driven out Of Boland's Mills i'm

Ell Paso Is heartily backing Judge Adrian Pool in his
effort to establish airline automobile road from

things that have been undertaken for the benefit of
E Paso and deserves hearty support. The chamber
of commerce yesterday endorsed the project and de-
cded to delegation to the meeting to be held at

Tourists have been going north out Of Fort Worth
and Dallas through Colorado and Utah. because Of the
poor roads between Forth Worth and FL Paso Judge
Pool investigated and found that most OF the tourists
wanted to come this way but afraid to make
effort without better roads He spent two weeks
tTaversng the Texas and Pacific meeting and talking
situation with the authorities and leading bust
ness men between Fort Worth and FL Psso The result
has been much enthusiasm aud a call for general
meeting at Midland All county judges between FL
Paso and Fort Worth have promised to attend; also
the commissioners courts and the chambers Of COM

The road is fairly good east from Big Springs TO
Fort Worth with the exception Of some stretches OF
road IN Eastland county, but west of Big Springs
great deal of work must be done 10 make II sssfac
