All to Be Tried in England. London, May 2. (U. P.) All rebels who bore arms in the Dublin revolt will be brought to England for trial, it was announced today. Suspects and Sinn Fein sympathizers who did not openly take up arms against the gov ernment will be tried in the Irish courts. Several hundred prisoners have al ready reached England. They are liable to trial by courtmartlal, and may be executed if convicted. The trials will probably be postponed until the government disposes of the case of Sir Roger Casement, whom the Ger mans sent to head the Irish rebellion. He is a prisoner in the Tower of Lon don. Greatest interest is displayed in the probable fate of Countess Marklevicz, who surrendered with her force of 100 rebels. Troops brought in about SO insur gents from the suburbs of.

GERMAN REPLY READY TO BE SENT TONIGHT: FEW CHANGES MADE (Continued Trota Pag One) 1 j 1 correspondents Table nothing indie tlve of the character of Germany's reply until tha official communication ia received in "Washington. It was stated, however, that nothing baa oc curred materially to change tbe situ ation alnce Wednesday. WASHINGTON EXPECTS NOTE WILL BE ON ITS WAY BEFORE TONIGHT Washington, May 2. (U. P.) Offi cial Washington is today awaiting the kaiser's reply to the American subma rine demands. Am a result of Ambas sador Gerard's delay in returning to Berlin from the emperor's field head quarters, the dispatch expected from ths American envoy yesterday was not looked for until tomorrow morning. In the meantime there is no official light on Germany's proposed action Unofficial dispatches from Berlin said the second draft of the reply was com pleted. By all accounts, the note should be en route to Washington to night or tomorrow. The fact that the conference between Gerard and the kaiser was more pro longed than at first planned wag taken as a hopeful indication. United Press dispatches from Berlin today renewed the optimism which was also felt In administration circles. Tha general belief waa that Germany would yield and promise to cease its "present methods of submarine warfare," but whether this would clear up all diffi culties immediately, or whether the re ply would concede the president's de mands preparatory to further discus sion of the permanency of its acqules cense, ' official refused to express an oplnion. There was much discussion of Presi dent Wilson's speech of yesterday be fore the Navy league women, in which he voiced a warning that no nation can tamper with the honor and integrity of ths United States. This was taken as a plain indication that he will not back down in his demands on Germany. Berlin Talks Arbitration. Amsterdam. May 2. (I. N. S.)

Tho number of persons of really divided allegienoe In this coun try is very small and had I been ta some other country I would, for one resent the representationa which have been made by those who were not thv spokesmen of those for whom they pre tended to speak in suggesting a divided allegtence. I bav never had th slight est doubt-of what would happaa when America called upon those of her cltl sens born in ether countries to come to tha support of tha flag. Why, they will come with-cheers, they will come with a momentum which will make us realize that America has once mors been cried awake out of every sort of distemper and dream and distraction, and that any man who dares tamper with th sptrlt'of America will be cast out of the confidence of a great nation upon the lnntant.

Applauded Whan Se Bays America Will Sally, If Possible, to Assert Stand, arda of Justice and Ubsrty. Washington, May 2. President Wil son warned alt nations they cannot tamper with the honor and Integrity of the United States, in a speech opening the National Service Ephool prepared ness camp for women 'here yesterday. Praises Volunteer Service. The address follows: "It is with unaffected pleasure that I come to greet you as you have as sembled for the Interesting things you are going to do. I have always felt that there was much more inspira tion in things that were voluntarily done than in things that were done under official direction and by official summons. You have volunteered to come together without official sugges tion in order to study some things, which, while they are characteristic of the sort of comfort and assistance which women have been accustomed to offer, are nevertheless In this in stance associated with a very great national conception and duty. Civilization Is Threatened. "We, of course, are living in the presence oft conditions which we cannot yet assess, because they are unprece dented. The world never witnessed such a war as is now convulsing al most every part of the world except thia part, which we particularly love and would seek to safeguard, and the very foundations of the ordinary Ufa of nations have been disturbed, so deeply disturbed that no man can pre dict what the final settlement will be. And if this war has done nothing else, it has at least done this: It has made America aware of danger which most of us had deemed unreal and has made us aware that the danger of our own time is nothing less than the unsettle ment of the foundations of civilization. Civilization Bests on Peace. "Civilization does not rest upon war. It rests upon peace. It rests upon those things which men achieve by co- j operation and mutual interest in one another. It does not flourish in the soil of hostility and antagonism, and a world war is a war in the presence of which civilization holds its breath and wonders if it will Itself survive. Aa we see these great issues Joined, we on this side of the water are done this service: We are reminded of our spir itual relation, not only to this great struggle, but particularly to this great nation of which we constitute parts, and our spiritual relation to the rest of the world Is determined by our spir itual relation to America. Great Awakening Felt. "This government was established In order that Justice and liberty might be long to every man whom our institu tions could touch, and not only that Justice and liberty should belong to America, but that so far as America waa concerned they should be extended to mankind everywhere. So the "Inspi ration of serving America is a very profound inspiration. "Have you not thought what anight be the outcome of this great struggle, so far as the nations already engaged are concerned? Can you not imagine the great awakening that has come to a country like France for example how much more Intensely every Frenchman and every German feels the national compulsion than he ever felt it before? How much more he feels himself, not an individual, but a frac tion of the great whole? How much more his blood springs to the challenge of patriotic suggestion? Patriotism Is Xevived. "He is not fighting for his own life. He Is sacrificing his own life, or will ing to sacrifice it, in order that a greater life than his might persist the life of his nation. So inj America we are getting already the indirect benefit of that suggestion. We are beginning to realize how a nation is a unit, and that any individual of it who does not feel the impulse of the whole does not belong to It. We Are Americans First. "We have heard a great deal about divided allegience in this country, but before w discuss divided allegience in its political aspect we ought to let our thoughts run back to what were per haps our divided allegiences In respect to our relations to each other. America had been brought to such a point of diversification of interest, of occupa tion, of objects sought, that she was in danger of losing the consciousness of her singleness and solidarity. We have all been reminded with an emphasis, for which I for one thank God, that we are first of all Americans, and only after that at liberty to seek our indi vidual Interest.

' The new method of treating con stipation with pure paraffine wan first endorsed by the medical pro fession and is now being universal ly used with great success In consti pation and all other intestinal Ills. Women, always the worst suffer ers from constipation, have beep the strongest advocates of tho remedy called Ameroil, which consists simply of a highly refined petroleum, or paraffine. The paraffine (Ameroil) taken in wardly In the ordinary way, lubri cates the hardened masses that have caused, the stoppage. The action which necessarily follows as the re sult of the softening and lubricating process Is, therefore, entirely me chanical, natural and gentle. - Ameroil Is colorless, odorless and tasteless, pleasant to take; it does not nauseate tbe most sensitive stomach. There are no disagreeable after effects no pain nor distress. Ameroil is sold at all Owl drug stores in pint bottles at 50c each.
