Military Outwitted
BY Limerick Strikers
Win Passage Into City by a
Trick When Permits Are
Demanded

LIMERICK, April % (by The Asso-
ciated Press The town of Limerick
was set laughing this afternoon over
the manner in which the strikers who
Monday afternoon attended hurting
contest across the river and in the
evening were refused permission to
return home over the Sarstield bridge
outwitted the military and got home.
Marching from the Glare end Of
the bridge to long pavement, they
boarded a train for Limerick. When
left the cars and tried to pass the
soldiers at the gate While the argu-
ment was proceeding the other pas
scngers, who had remained concealed
in the train, darted for other doors
and windows and scattered in every
direction. The guard was unable to
halt them, and they all soon were
home.
The strike leaders promise further
developments, but 1t is believed moth
ing will be done until the Irish labor
congress leaders arrive from London:
The time for their arrival is kept
secret.
The strikers had passed the night on
the bridge and resumed their demon
strations this morning. The soldiers
were still obdurate and would not per-
nit the strikers to cross.
Daybreak found wan and hollow
eyed crowd Of men and women shiver-
ing in the chilly weather. They were
taken to cottages on the Glare side of
the River Shannon and given breakfast
by friends and sympathizers. Some of
the older ones had been provided with
beds during the night on cottage floors
but most of the crowd passed the night
in the open.
The attitude of "passive resistance
was continued during the night by the
strikers. The military maintained a
strict guard with large forces of SEN
tries and the guns III the armored tank
were fully manned.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April % (By
The Associated Press) ).-General Fran

forces, was executed shortly before last
midnight He met death at the
hands of a firing squad with the ut
most bravery.
General Alvarez was sentenced to
death by court martial here on Mon
day. He was captured last Tuesday in
the battle in which General Aureliano
Banquet, Minister of War in the
Huerta Cabinet, was reported killed.
Many thousands of persons sur
rounded the barracks to-day when the
execution took place.
General Alvarez had been sentenced
to die at an earlier hour, but on orders
received from the Supreme Court the
execution was held up. The War De-
partment, however, ordered compliance
with the sentence of the court martial,
and the prisoner was brought out to
face his executioners.
Two hours before the execution the

Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, April %. Proof Of
direct connection between The Bol-
shoviki of Russia and the disturbing
elements in the Punjab, in India, has
been found by officials of the British
government, according TO official ad-
vices received here to-day. About three
months ago six Russians, apparently OF
the better class, we'll educated and
speaking several different lndiau dia-
!ccts, arrived in this part of india, ac-
cording to the dispatches.
They immediately werc placed uuder
suWeilance, hut, associated with some
Of the leaders Of the auti-Rritish
movement in the Punjab, they before
long began to hold nolshevik meetings,
The authorities kept in close touch
with this movement and had agents in
attendance at every meeting, but no
arrests were made. Another stage In
the movement seemed TO have heen
reached at about this time, and the
kussians and natives began to urge
the appropriation Of landed estates hN
force and communal lands to he worked
by white labor fer the benefit Of the
Indians.
This was a variation Of the fegula
ton Bolshevik propaganda and seemed
to appeal to portion Of the natives.
Then the authorities arrested the Rus
ell
Delhi.
The natives, however, inspired by the
idea of Englshmen working for them
while they engaged in political machi-
nations and religious devotions- -ap-
parently the two were mingled in their
n:nds-continued the work begun by
the Russians. The meetings became
larger and more frequent, and the ap-
peals for support in taking over the
lands from the owners became more
urgent, until the authorities sent an
alarming report to headquarters, which
was forwarded to the Indian Office in
London.
Severe measures had to be taken at
once, although the British authorities
are inclined to place the blame on the
six Russians, who have been in jail for
some time. rather than upon the
natives, who, with their penchant for
fanaticism, fell easy prey to the radi-
cal teachings of their clever instruc-
tors.

The Fate of
Europe Lies Here

The most difficult thing to preserve
in Paris is ones perspective. ] do not
think any one was conscious here Of
what America and President Wilson's
presence meant until he had gone, but
to-day | do not think | exaggerate
when | say that masses Of English
and French people, together with all
the inhabitants Of the little countries
who are seeking liberation and inde-
pendencc, are watching Mr.. Wilson's
fight in America with very much Of
tho same emotion that they watched
the arrival of the first American di~
visions on the hills above Chateau
Thierry. They feel that in this battle,
as in the last, the fate of Europe de-
pends on American effort and Amer
lean support. Without America the
league of nations is a scrap of paper;
with America it may be symbol and
a great first step, not merely toward
peace between nations, but toward
restoration of economic stability with
III the separate nations. 1t may be not
merely guarantee against a second
coming of Germany, but also barrier
against the arrival of Bolshevism in at
least three great Western nations.

Wa have gone through very curious
transition In the brief period since Mr..
Wilson sailed to America. Criticism
OF certain failures and certain mis-
takes of the Presden which were
common Mt that time have given place
entirely to an almost anxious obscrva-
tion of what Is now to take place in
America. Precisely those statesmen
who were seemingly least enthusiastic
about the league OF nations PROPOSE
tion when it was matter of debate
here, now perceive most clearly and
state most frankly that failure Of
the league Of nations fight in Ameri-

Paris Conference on the larger side.

Of the last successful German often

teau Thierry saved Europe and the

and is in a sense symbolical. Pre-
cisely as the Allied armies were ex-
hausted by the strain of four and a
half years OF war, and needed fresh
troops still unshaken by the priva-
tons Of war to save the day, the Allied
peoples Of the world now need new
American aid to preserve the victory
