GERMANY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE
 OF DUBLIN
 REVOLT
Sim Feiners Said
 Victims of Teutons
AND FUNDS FOR UNSU CCES SFUL IRISH REVOLUTION ALLEGED TO HAVE COME FROM BERLIN AND AMERICA.

LONDON, May p. - The Sim Fein organization was used as pawn in the game played by Berlin and cer- tain Germans and revolutionists i1 America. according to the history of the uprising as told by the authorities here.
 The failure of the revolt, it is point cd out, was made doubly sure by the inability or disinclination on the part of Germany to carry out important features at almost the last moment.
 The facts given here nave been gathered from authentic British sources and are presented as com pletely as possible under the censor ship.
 Shortly after the beginning of the war. certain lrishmen and German authorities conceived the idea of util- izing the Sim Fein organization for T revolt, the Germans being actuated, of course, by the admittedly legiti- mate purpose of weakening Great Britain. and the others having na- tional aspirations or, in at least one case, a desire to obtain revenge for alleged political wrongs.
 The Sim Feiners accepted ;ne plan and eventually fell victims to scheme which was not of their own 
 Sir Roger Easement, now in Lon don Tower, awaiting trial on a charge of treason, went from America to Christiania late in 1914 under an as sumed name. He then went to Der lin.
 Coincident with his arrival in Der lin certain officials placed their infu ence and guarantees of assistance back of an Irish rebellion.
 Elaborate plans for furthering rev olution were put under way. Ac- cording to the account, Germany agreed to furnish the money, arms and men to assist the Sim Feiners and, most important of all, is said to have agreed to an invasion of En- gland which would prevent soldiers being sent into Ireland by the Brit sh war department.
 America was made the medium of communication between Berlin and Ireland. Certain Irishmen in the United States enlisted their services md Captains Boy-Ed and Von Papen and then German naval and military attaches respectively at Washington. together with numerous others, are said to have done their part in fur -hering the plans.
 The carrying of funds to Sim Fein ers was done largely by the Irish ,ympathizers in America.

 900 Pounds Daily Expense Covers All Government Cost, Including War

London, July 20, 3:55 p. m.-Ex- blaming the increase in the govern ment rate of expenditure to 6,000,00O pounds daily, Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, said in the house of commons today that the figure related to the total outgoings and not only to war expenditures.
 The unforeseen and unforseea ble causes that had raised the rate Of expenditure, added the chancellor, were mainly the rate at which Amer ican securities had been sold to the government for the purpose of regu- lating American exchange.
 Asked whether the purchase of American securities and loans to al- lies could rightly be called expendi- lures, MT. McKenna answered that he was explaining why his borrowing powers had been exhausted earlier than he anticipated. He had cXer- cised those powers to meet the issues. He sincerely hoped that the expen- allure would revert to what he pre- ferred to regard as the normal.
