SOLDIERS IN CELLARS.

LONDON, May 6. Two soldiers at Dublin, missing since Friday, when they escaped from the Post Office, where they were imprisoned, have now been found unhurt under the ruins of the Coliseum Theatre. Two officers and 15 men were imprisoned in a cellar of the Post Office. Some bombs were placed outside their door. The prisoners asked if they must be left to burn like rats in a trap. The rebels opened a side door liberating them into the streets, but fired a volley, killing two hostages, and wounding a lieutenant. ANOTHER SEPPELIN TROUBLE. V L 9 APPARENTLY BADDY DAMAGED. LONDON, May 6. The "Daily New's" Rotterdam correspondent states that fishermen report that Zeppelin L 9 was sighted over the North Sea flying very slowly. She was apparently badly damaged. PRESIDENT WILSON'S THREATS. PRESS DEPLORE BACKING DOWN. SOME STRONG LANGUAGE. WASHINGTON, May 6. Representative newspapers oppose any such Aveakening of Cabinet's attitude. Tse New York Herald points • out that on tli e anniversary of the Lusitania crime lynch law is still in force oh the seas and the lyncher still an unrepentent bully. The newspaper declares that the German Note is farcical and offers no hope of settlement. Germany's efforts to place the rsponsibility on Britain are as hopeless as her efforts to prove that Russia, France, and Britain are responsible fori the war. The Vv"ew York World says it is preposterous to imagine that Germany has really yielded to the tribune. It dclares that no country can submit to Germany's counter ultimatum and preserve its self-respect. If President Wilson now gives in America will never forgive him.
