SEEKS DISSOLUTION
OF TIN CAN TRUST
Government Asks That Ameri-
can Company Hold Stock In
Only One New Concern.

Washington. May 1.-THE govern
ment today filed a motion for a final
dissolution decree in the antitrust suit
against the American Can company in
the federal district court at Baltimore.
1t asks the corporation properties be
disposed Of and it be enjoined from ac-
curing any interest in more than one
Of the concerns taking over the can
company plants.
In a proposed form of decree filed
gested that the American Can company
voluntarily submit a plan of distribu-
ton of assets and properties into units
of separate ownership, to the federal
trade commission, and that it's failure
so to do should result in the appoint
ment by the court of a receiver to eff
feet it's dissolution.
1T is not going too far to say that
this case with others Of like character
now pending involves the very life OF
the law" says the government brief.
IF it should once become established
that a combination OF competitors on
such a vast scale. embracing half Of
an entire trade and exercising sub
stantial dominance in its field does not
come within the purView Of the act
unless 1t shall demOnstratably abuse its
power-the inevitable result will be
renewal of that great rush towards
concentration which followed the de-
cision in the Knight case and pro-
ceeded with ever accelerating rapidity
until checked by the decision Of the
supreme court in the northern securi-
ties case"

Leader Shot In Leo.
The Irish communicate, J. H. Pearce,
who Is now prisoner Is a school mas
ter. He was wounded by a shot in the
leg. Before being captured he took a
most active part in the uprising and
was looked to as the head Of the move
ment.
The postoffice, which was in the
hands of the rebels Hsost of the week,
when retaken was found to have been
badly damaged by fire and shot.
Reports from the provincial districts
snow that the greatest disturbance
outside the city occurred in county
Meath, where armed rebels in parties
were still terrorizing the countryside
yesterday. In other districts there were
disorders. At one place north of Dub
lin' small detachment of the Royal
irish constabulary, commanded by an
inspector was surrounded by rebels and
disarmed. 1t Is not known whether the
rebels held the policemen prisoners, but
1t ls assumed they did.
The authorities there wired to Dublin
Tor reinforcements which were dis
patched in armed automobiles. Over the
rest or the country all was quiet, except
at Enniscorthy and Wexford.
Many of the rebels were captured
red handed with weapons. Hundreds of
others are being detained on suspicion
OF completely in the outbreak One man
was caught in chimney from which he
had been sniping for four days and
nights. He held a position Of trust in
the Office of steamship company.
Casualties up to the present are said
TO be very numerous although the
troops have not suffered as heavily as
might have been expected.
Telegraphing from Dublin under date
OF Sunday, the correspondent of the
Evening News, says:
The last rebel stronghold to be
taken was Jacobs factory, which was
surrounded at midday today. Cut off

uered insurgents here had not heard

BRITISH TO BEAR
BRUNT OF ATTACK
Paris Believes Germans Are
Preparing For Great Bid
For Victory on West
ern Front.

Paris, May 2.-That the next 80 days
will bring about important events on
the western front is the consensus of
opinion in France. The kaiser is be-
lieVed to be preparing a great stroke,
determined upon by the German gen.
eral staff in a tremendous effort to
bring about favorable peace.
The Verdun offensive was the first
stroke Of the imperial staffs plan. The
crown princes failure has gravely COM
promised the whole plan, but the staff
accepts the sporting chance that re-
mains and will strike a second blow.
This, Paris experts say, will fall on the
British front.
In order to strike the British army
a deadly blow, the imperial staff has
preceded 1t with several dramatic
demonstrations against the British isles
designed to throw the London war Of
flee into disarray and to brighten the
population.
Kaiser With His Army.
The kaiser remains on the western
front with General Won Falkenhayn,
the chief of the general staff, during
the crisis with the United States. 1t
is believed he will witness the opening
of the forthcoming battle, wherever it
may strike, probably addressing his
troops as he did at the beginning Of
the drive on Verdun.
The whole of this bold and elaborate
scheme was foreshadowed by the Ger
man government when it stated in the
posters calling for subscriptions to the
fourth war loan:
Germany is gathering all her forces
to strike q colossal blow. That is may
fall with German precision and German
force, dealing destruction and annihila-
ta4on like the thunderbolt, such is the
can to ALL"
Paris is confident the plan will fail.
The magnificent stand Of the French
army at Verdun and the slaughter II
is still inflicting on the kaiser's legion
have greatly encouraged the French.
The struggle at Verdun is likely to
continue somewhat on it's present lines
while the 500, 900 German troops re-
ported by Colonel Repington as con-
centrated in Flanders, go into titanic
battle against the British.
Massed Attack RepuIsed.
German troops in dense masses made
a violent attack last night on positions
captured by the French near Dead
Mans Hill on the Verdun front The
attack was defeated by the French, the
war office report this afternoon says.
The Germans the announcement states,
suffered enormous losses"
Two simultaneous counter attacks by
the Germans on a trench captured
yesterday by the French north of Cum
ieres were repulsed.
At Hill No. 304 and in the Vaux
region there was incessant lombard
ments.

CREW PER|SHES ON
CRAFT ICE BOUND
Captain Ends His Life-TWo
of Three Survivors Who
Crossed FIoeS Are Ex-
peCted to Die.

Halifax, N. S., May 1.-THE fate of
the captain and crew Of the British
steamer Suffolk, caught in the ice in
the White sea, while on her way to
Archangel shortly before Christmas,
with details Of suffering from cold,
Aunger and exposure resulting in the
death of all but three men Of crew
Of 81 and the suicide of the ships cap
tain who, maddened by hunger and
cold, shot himself, were related here
today by sailors of the New Found
land steamer Bellaventure, just in from
Archangel. The crew of the BellaVen-
ture, which has been in Russian waters
more than a year, met and talked with
the three survivors, one OF whom,
Russian Finn, was personally able to
recount his adventures. The other two
were not expected to recover.
The Suffolk, supposedly having
cargo of war supplies, was caught in
the ice Of the White sea with the first
heavy freeze before the holidays. Heavy
weather followed, and finally not only
food but fuel was exhausted. The sur
fering caused many of the men to lose
their minds, and while in this state
they succumbed. The ships captain,
craZed by the suffering of his men,
whom he was unable to aid, and him
self exhausted and worn, committed
suicide.
When only 10 survivors remained
they decided to try to reach land on
foot. Taking the sCanty provisions re-
naming they set forth on an SO-mile
trip across the ice. A heavy blizzard
set in and the party soon became scat
tered and lost. Only three were able to
stick together, and after days of wan
dering they were found by the crew Of
British ship and taken to land.

Berlin. May 2.-(By wireless to Say.
ville.)-The number Of casualties sus-
tanned by the British forces in Mesopo-
tamia during March and April is given
as 10000, in a Constantinople dispatch

THE booty captured at Kut-El-
Amara has not been reckoned," the

agency says:
General Townshend offered to sur
render the town Of Kut- Ell Amara with
all his artillery and more than 1,OOO, 900
pounds sterling in cash, on condition

patch says. The Turks declined
whereupon they surrendered uncon-
ditionally."

CONFEREES FAVOR
ARMY OF 10000
Bill as Drawn Would Increase
War Footing of Regulars
to Total Strength
of 100000.

Washington. \. c., May "A regular
army of 100000 men at peace strength
has been practically agreed upon by
Senate and House conferees on the
army bill. With the plans for expans-
ion as provided in the bill which has
passed the Senate, this would pro-
duce an army of about 100000 men in
war strength. The bill as it passed the
Senate, fixed the peace strength at
100000.
The agreement on the size of the
army is tentative and dependent upon
settlement Of other features of the bill
still in dispute. 1t was urged by the
cOnferees that there should at least be
a tentative basis for the size of the
army before they could make any prog
ress on details.
A 100000 appropriation for aero
naattcs was agreed to today by the
House naval committee. The building
program will not be taken up until late
in the week.
