INVESTIGATION.

LONDON, May 19.-Augustine Bir.
rell, who resigned as chief secretary
for Ireland after the Sim Fein revolt,
reported today as a witness before
the royal commission which is con
ducting an inquiry into the Irish re-
bellion. The presence of the chief
secretary aroused keen interest in
view of the dramatic testimony given
by Sir Matthew Nathan, former un.
der-secretary for Ireland, at yester.
days hearing.
Sir Matthew testified that the gov.
ernment had had advance informa.
ton regarding the German plans for
aiding the Irish rebels and Mr.. Bir.
rell was expected to give more de.
tails on this point.
At the outset Of the hearing Mr.
Birrell stated that he had read Sir
Matthew Nathan's statement and that
he did not know that there were any
additions or notifications he wished
to make. He then read a statement
which he had prepared and which he
described as dealing in a general
manner with Sim Feinism.
