GERMANS IN BRAZIL
IN ARMED REVOLT
AGAINST REPUBLIC
TeutonS Number 100000
Threaten to Invade Uruguay
Troops Are MaSSed.

BUENos AYRES, April iS.-Brazil's
great German population in at least
three states has revolted.
Dispatches from Montevideo. Uru-
quay, to-day asserted the Teuto az
were well armed-even with some
artillery--and plentifully supplied.
Brazil's censorship was down tight
on any details.
The rebellion apparently centered in
the Brazilian States OF Rio Grande
Parana and Santa Catharina. The
German population-male and female
in this section has been estimated
at 5OO,UOU.
Uruguayan dispatches to-day de-
clared the Germans had already at
tempted to dynamite the railway
bridge at Santa Maria.
The Government OF Rio Grande
province was said to bo Concentrat-
ing it's strongest and most loyal
troops TO oppose the rebels at Porto
Allegro. In the mean time the Uru-
guayan Government Is m6ssng its
troops on the frontier, fearing the
Germans may invade Uruguay.
officials were quoted in the Monte
vidco dispatches as asserting their
belief they will be able TO withstand
all raids. The Brazilian Germans
were known to have been preparing
to move against Uruguay. Their
preference was for occupation OF
Chile--which country Is rich in nj
trates and therefore desirable in war
but Chile was too great distance
from their base.

ALBANY. N. y. April l9.--Sen-
ator Burllngsme to-day threw the

tied any franchise hereafter granted
by the city TO hfty years. and the
second compelled the city TO lease
any lands under water to the New
York Central for the same period, In
stead OF making "a perpetual grant.
Senator II. II. Brown opposed the
amendments. In speaking for them,
BurlinBamo said that the city Off

by trying to make a perpetual grant
OF the water front. lie fought long
and earnestly for a flfty-year limit.
Senator Foley favored the amend
ment and said that the people OF
New York had already paid il2, ,00O,- .

While the Wake tip. America
Day" parades were moving down
Fifth Avenue and Broadway this
afternoon and mid Manhattan was in
a delirium Of patriotic enthusiasm,
University Heights was contributing
more than an echo TO the occasion.
In and around the great stadium OF

ing spectacle of Major Gen. O'Ryan
presenting 60 student military bodies
OF twelve colleges the national colors

Tens of thousands OF cheering
citizens lined Convent Avenue and

stadium while the students wore their
new, crisp red, white and blue colors
In parade down through Manhattan
Valley up the slope TO Columbia

over upper Manhattan and clear over

celebration had been rather decorous

women and children, being mildly in

breast OF every American" said Billy.
Maybe he does want to know why
he should enlist. Just tell him 1t is
TO keep the collar OF Prussian mill

quickly enough"
Billy said he hoped this country
would profit by the mistakes OF Great
Britain and France. lie said Govern
ment officials should make 1t clear to
the people that the country Is not
prepared, that the United States Is
depending on England's battleships.

GERMAN SOLDIERS REACHING
THE PANIC STAGE.

Germanys soldiers are believed TO
be reaching the panic stage. A week
ago the first evidence OF a breakdown
in the morale Of the German defend.
ers was observed and reported by
the British commanders drive around
Lens.
Reports to-day show the capture of
1900 Germans. BY night II Is ex-
pected the total OF German prisoners
will reach 10000. Nearly a hundred
guns have already been taken.
In cases OF great drives the enemy
temporarily gets beyond the effective
reach OF the great mass OF guns.
While they are being brought up
anew, the Germans cut loose with
thousands of machine guns. Mo-
where along the front do the uor-
mans longer attempt to keep up with
the allied increase in artillery. Even
II they had the guns, the Germans
lack transport facilities 20 supply
them. Horses are extremely scarce,
while the motor trucks lack rubber
tires and are Ineffective.
Due TO this. the Germans are lOcat-
ing their batteries more and more
along the railway line, in order to bo
certain OF shell supplies. when, as it
Is pointed out by British officers,
strategic reasons would call for FAR
different positions.
