Ezra Meeker who passed through Richmond in his "schooner-mobile on his way to Washington, D. C, about two weeks ago, has started on his return trip over the old Oregon trail. He will be through Richmond in about a week on his return trip to Olympia, Washington. Mr. Meeker, 85 years old, has made three trips by ox team across the continent on this old trail. Each time he has pessed through Richmond and several people here remember his last trip atoout ten years ago. - The object of this trip is to obtain a report for submission to congress on the probable cost of building a national military road across the continent over the old Oregon, trail. He will make the present trip in about one-tenth the time of his former journeys. Mr. Meeker was the first man to cultivate hops in the Puyallup valley of Washington.

HEAVY FIGHTING AT VERDUN CEASES; ARMIES AT REST Germans Switch Their Attack Striking at British at Armentieres to Check Offensive of Allies. RUSSIANS ARE INACTIVE Turks Capture Gen. Townsend's Army, hut Must Still Defeat Strongly Fortified Relief Army. YPRES-ARRAS. Over a front of about 80 miles, the Germans have launched anoth er offensive, which in reality an engagement forced upon them by the British who have been very ac tive, especially in the vicinity of Armentieres where their big guns are almost trained on Lille, the German base in that region. The capture of this town would be a serious blow to the Germans and would compel them to re-form their whole line from the North Sea to the Oiee river. To forestall any gen eral offensive of the Allies in this region, the Germans may be mak ing the violent attacks In which the British have lost heavily this week. EASTERN FRONT. Spring has not advanced far enough to enable either Russia or the Central Powers to try extended campaigns in Poland. The Russians have been active all along their long line, and the Caucasus armies are still advancing. The Russians claim to have repulsed the Turkish near Diabekr. If the Czar's armies are able to advance, and this important, junction of communicating lines on the road to Bagdad falls into Russian hands, the surrender of General Townsend at Kut-el-Amara will be quickly wiped out. The Turks still have the difficult task of defeating General Lake, who was unable to come to the relief of. Gen. Townt-end. He is occupying strongly fortified positions twenty miles below Kut-ei-Amara. ,

SINN FEINN MEANS "OURSELVES ALONE" Do you know what "Sinn Fein" means? You have seen the term used many times last week in the ilewspapers. It is an Irish organization whose- leaders forced the revolt that has just been put down in Dublin. It is pronounced "Shinn Fane," and the words are Gaelic for "ourselves alone." It is not. a new society but has been in existence for many years and is a revival of the old Fenian organizations. BRITONS SORRY AT ARMY'S LOSS LONDON, May 6 The surrender of Gen. Charles Townsend, com mander of the besieged British, army at Kut-el-Amara, to Turkish forces, has plunged the whole nation into gloom. When the Allies abandoned the campaign at the Dardanelles, the hope was expressed that the end had come to British reverses. The latest defeat was depressing news. Belated reports show the British lost ?p,000,000 in cash and booty. ARE THE GIRLS LEADERS? You are going to Sunday school tomorrow. If you are not, you ought to go, because there's where you belong for one hour each week. When you enter the Sunday school room tomorrow, . see if there are more girls present than boys: Are the girls tlie real Sunday school leaders? If you think they are, write The Junior Palladium a letter. SUMMER SCHOOL. Not all the boys and girls of the city intend to idle away the whole summer. Many of them will attend the summer school in the Whitewater building. It is much better to go to school than to waste all your time loafing along the creek or playing with dolls. Many girls have learned how to cook and sew at the school. PUPILS TAKE LONG HIKE. CENTERVILLE, Ind., May 6. Lick Creek hills appealed to the Senior class of the high school on Thursday, so they held a picnic there. The damp ground over which they walked did not hinder them from enjoying the outing.

EXECUTIONS. CRUSH IRISH REBELLION; ; FORMER U. S. DIPLOMAT IS ARRESTED

DUBLIN, May 6. Swift justice was visited on the leaders of the Sinn Fein rebellion when Patrick H. Pearse, president of the provi sional government, Thonias Mao Donogh and Thomas J. Clark, found guilty of sedition by a court mar tial, were executed by a firing squad. Other ringleaders are being tried with great rapidity by the central court martial, while local i court martials are dealing with the minor rebels. The police and military authorities have not succeeded In rounding up all the rebels. Signs have been posted notifying Irish peasants that persons harboring rebels will be severely punished. Most of the rebels were known to the police, and after a house-to-house search, hundreds of them were arrested. Isolated sniping was 'still going on in the outlying districts of this city Friday afternoon, but the military forces hope to end this by Sunday. The south and west of Ireland are still in a spirit of unrest. Raw soldiers, sent into outlying districts, have been picked off by Sinn i'einers, or have been assaulted. As there are no organized bands of the organization, the military authorities believe they will restore peace, here within a Tew -weeks. . The food situation; which had become acute during the week, RENEW VILLA HUNT WASHINGTON, May 6. With the Mexican crisis averted through the agreement reached by General Obregon, Carranza's war minister, and Major General Scott, the hunt for Villa was renewed with Increasing determination Thursday. Although the details of the pact have not been given out, it is understood that the American troops will go no farther south than they are now. A time for the withdrawal of American troops has not been set. The Mexican government also grants the use of the Mexican railways for the transportation of men and supplies. r Both Mexican and American leaders are satisfied with the arrangement.

IN SUBMARINE U AE1FM

SUBMARINE COMMANDERS ORDERED TO OBEY INTERNATIONAL LAWS; CITE VIOLATIONS OF ENGLISHMEN WASHINGTON, May 6 The reply of Germany to the ultimatum of,

rrcsiocni wimon in wmcn ne inreaieneu vf oren oir oijiumiic relations unless Germany modified its submarine warfare, reached here Friday and was received with conflicting opinions; .Some officials today said, the Kaiser had receded from his original stand, while others, pointing to the attacks made on British violations of International Law, held that the note did not satisfy the demands made by the president In his

ultimatum of April 20. t The Berlin foreign office declared commanders of submarine boats J had received orders not to sink merchant vessels without warning, and without giving passengers ai opportunity to leave the ship before ' It 1 was torpedoed. :v . ! I

Officials who say this answer is satisfactory, claim the foregoing explanation of Germany complies with the demands of the United States, namely, that merchant ships first be visited and searched before they are sunk. The Kaiser hitherto has held that if this practice were followed out, armed merchantmen could and would sink a submarine before It had opportunity to stop and search the vessel. ' . r SOME 8EE CONFLICT.

CHILDREN ARE LEADERS IN THE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN Girls with brooms and boys with rakes and baskets are the leaders in the clean-up campaign. Just let a number of boys and girls make up their minds that old paper, rubbish, tin cans, boxes and aalios make a yard look ugly, and It will not take long before the premises are tidey and clean. This is tle kind of work In which boys any girls can show that they are leaders butter selling for $2 a pound," potatoes at 60 cents a pound, and flour at $1 a pound, has been solved, and normal prices now prevail. Irish societies in the United States .generally deplore the outbreak, believing that is has set back for years the chance.8 of better conditions for Ireland. The loaders who were executed were well known here. Most of them had visited In America and had deliver ed speeches in the principal cities of the United States. . -r ' The arrest of J. M. Sullivan of New York, formerly American minister to Santo Domingo, by British police on charge of complicity In the Irish rebellion, caused a sensation in the United States. MAKE THEIR OWN DRESSES. LYNN, Ind., May 6. The girls of Washington township who graduate from the eighth grade into high school, were the first graduates who attended the exercises in dresses they had made themselves. The girls believe in practical education.

Supplement to Richmond Palladium

Other administration leaders Ran the whole note is so complicated aud qualified by restrictions that it defeats the very end President Wil son sought to attain, and that the only course open to him now is to recall Ambassador Gerard front Berlin and give Ambassador - Von! Bernstorff bis passports. - j The German foreign -office comes , out In the open with an attack on, the United States for its discrimination in favor of the Allies. , It insists that Germany will continue its submarine warfare and points out that Great Britain is responsible for the warfare that has been waged on merchantmen. It charges England , with violating all rules of International warfare and claims the sub marine .warfare of the Germans is a retaliation. Had the United States forced Great Britain to abide by international law, the submarine issue would not have become acute, the note explains.
