Dublin today Is outwardly still very calm. The streets are thronged with groups of men dis cussing the blow which fell upon the Sinn Fein when more than 100 arresta were made. It is evident the government msde clean sweep of rebel leaders in every community. It seems to have left the Sinn Feinera guidelesa and uncertain what action to take next, although they appointed Alderman Kelly snd John Mac Neil to replace De and Griffith. Kelly and MacNell are of the milder element and its expected to counsel moderation snd no violence. In their street talk, the Sinn Fetners defy the government to show proof of 1 German plot for an Irish uprising ind demand the proof be quickly produced. The more rabid ones ssvagely snd open ly svow that talk of German influence is a plot by England to kill Sinn Feinism. The majority of the moderates de scribe themselves ss being sntJ-English, pro-Iriab snd not pro-Germane. "If the government has got the goods," they said, "then we'll repudiate our lead ers snd get others. However, we do not believe that so many have been connect ed with 1 German plot." Sinn Fein headquarters have reopen ed. Officials announced thr 84 leaders have been arrested and that they expect ed more arrest,. The interior of Ireland is calm.

FORTY DIVISIONS OF FRESH TROOPS READY More than 1,200,000 Huns Await Command to Advance, According to Calculations Made by Observer at Front. By WILLIAM PILHIP SIMMS United Pees Staff Correspondent l?ith the Ifrftuh Armies in France, May 20. Uvneral Mackensen is widely reported to be on the west front, ready to strike the moment Field Marshal Ilin denborg fintia an opening. I calculate that 100 divisions of shock troops (1,200,000 men) are awaiting Hindenburg's order. Forty of these are fresh, not having been used in this sea son's fighting. The other 60 have been out of the line long enough to be rested and doped up morally by Germany's pro fessional sp'rit boosters. Without pro phesying what will be the nature of his next blow, or blows, this effort naturally ought to be his final or semi-final at tempt. From now on, all prisoners returned from Russia, together with the 11)19 class, returned wound od and the rest, probably will barely suffice to keep his active divisions up to anything like their intended strength. The kaiser may undertake elaborate feints here and there, but the indications are his maia thrust will be against the British or tLe French and British com bined. By information Is that the Germans will hammer the British with the bulk of their army, simultaneously spread ing propagauda to the effect that the British do mt fight aa well as the other allies, in order to create friction among the entente rations. Meanwhile, prisoners eimit that Ger-f' man mouths tire still watering for Amiens and the cool, gray valley of the Somme, stretching toward the sea. Thus, with double objectives one im pudent and sinister, the other daring and desperate Hiudenburg may be expected shortly to S't the western battle front ablaze. In the meantime, events out here are proceding as usual before an offensive. There is coasiderable shelling by high explosives and Jockeying for the high ground that furnishes the advantage of position. Cue air along the Soinine Is buzzing with allied and German planes, the aerial figiiting being of unusual scope and intensity. The finest fighting weather of the war continues. There has been only one shower since a week ago, and this was insufficient to settle the dusty, bone-dry roads. The trees lining the roaus are covered wltii a fine, white powder, while motors resemble the dust-covered hero in the third act of "Shenandoah." The fields are a beautiful green, right up to the trenches. Both the Homme and Lys battlefields look semi-tropical more like Louisiana than northern France. It would be strange if Hiuden burg allowed such weather to be wasted. These dsys favor an offensive far more than a defeasive battle. ARTILLERY IS ACTIVE London, May 2L Successful British raids In Flanders and Ficardy. active hostile artillery firing in Flanders and near Arras snd the repulse of a Germsn attack on the western portion of the Flanders front was reported by Field Marshal Haig today.

MA hostile counter attack at the ssme point early this morning, following' a heavy bombardment, was bsoken up by our artillery and machine guns, "We msde a successful raid southwest of Arras last night, taking a few pris oners and a machine gun.

TAYLOR, United Press Staff Correspondent With the American Army In Lorraine, May 20.- (Night)-American and French soldiers paused this afternoon In the game of war, wherever possible to pay homage to Major Raoul Lufberry, the great American Ace, who was killed n an air fight Sunday xnorniug . The funeral services were held In a hospital within the sound of the big guns, French and American companies stood at attention while an Amvican baad play ed. French and American aviators w- re present in large numbers. A French general and an American general also paid tribute to the fallen aviator. The coffin, draped with an Aman flag, was carried by four French aviat ors to a tiny, grassy cemetery behind the hospital. Infantry companies were lined up on one side of the road while officers and aviators were drawn up on the other. ing above the grave, showered tiie coffin with flowers as the chaplain completed the rites. During the services a report was re ceived from an American observer in the front lines that a German plane had been brought down by ne of Lufberry's com rades. "It's as Raoul would want it, said an American airman. "He'd care fur more to have a Roche brought down than t" have elaborate services in his honor. Later It was reported that the Ger man biplane responsible for Iuf'tirry's death was brought down by a French aviator. This has not been officially es tablished. The Roche machine which caused Lnf berry's death came directly for the American aviation field yesterday nA acted in an unusual manner. American aviatora believed it waa designed for a special mission, it being the only Germsn plane in sight at the time. It stuck right to the American planes behind the Amer ican lines, running only after Lufberry 's comrades had emptied over a thousand machine gun bullets into it. It was 10 o'clock yesterday morning when Lufberry and two other American airmen responded to an "Alerte north of Toul and spotted the lone Roche bi plane. Lufberry attacked at sa altitude of 4,000 meters, his companions follow ing closely. Lufberry snd the enemy machine open fd fire simultiineoualv. The major's ma chine sudden! j bverCHrned trntf fell like a plummet, its petrol tank spouting flames. When about half way to the ground Lufberry's body shot out of his seat, falling some distance from where the wrecked machine struck. The 'famous American was dead when a number of French -peasauts reached him. His body wus removed from the lit tle garden in which it had fallen to a bouse nearby, where it was covered with a flag and wreathe of flowers. During the ftineral todny the services were filmed. The picture, it is understood, will be ex hibited in America, HALL WILL RECOVER With the American Army in Lorraine, May 20.

They took 500 unwounded pris oners. The French cssualtiea were light. The attack greatly improved the French poaltiona around Mont Rouge and Mnnt Scherpenberg. The French auddenly threw themselves on the Germans on a front of between two and three miles, and tho result waa never In doubt British troopa advanced their line on a front of six hundred yards between A ve iny Wood and Hebuterne, diminishing a sharp, dangerous salient and occupying four enemy posts.
