the fact that Ohio's delegates would
greatly strengthen Mr.. Root In the

FEARED TO DISARM
The IRISH REBELS

London. May 19--From testimony
developed at the hearing opened by
the royal commission to inquire into
the Irish rebellion 1t appeared the
government had received advance in
formation OF preparations for an up
rising with help from German sources.
The testimony was given by Sir
Matthew Nathan, who resigned as un-
der secretary for Ireland after the re-
bellion broke out.
The government had received ad-
vices, said Sir Matthew, that an at
tempt would be made to land arms In
Ireland from German submarines;
also that rifles had been purchased
from Irish soldiers on home leave
while others had been taken into the
country in passengers baggage.
He defended the failure OF the gov
ernment to disarm the volunteers, or
the ground that such action might
have alienated the sympathies o
many loyal volunteers.

MUST OBSERVE
AMERICAN LAWS
Germans in United States
Warned by Berlin.
OFFICIAL NOTE ISSUED
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, on Orders
From His Government, Sends In
In Various Sections OF Country.

IN various sections OF country.
Washington, May 19.-Germany
through Count Won Bernstorff, has in
structed all German consuls In the
United States to admonish German
citizens In their districts to scrupu
lously observe American laws. This
was done In an effort to end various
alleged violations OF American neu-
trality.
The ambassador acted on instruc-
tions from the Berlin foreign office.
The action was announced In this
official statement from the German
embassy:
"In consequence of cases which
have occurred of late the German am
bassador has sent instructions to all
German consuls in the United States
to strongly impress on German citi'
zens living In their districts that 1t Is
their duty scrupulously TO obey the
laws of the state in which they re-
side"
Ii was said at the German embassy
the instructions were designed to pre-
vent plots or lawlessness on the part
OF German citizens who might be dis
| posed to engage in such.
The German government, II was
said, looks with great disfavor on any
such conduct and desires that they
shall not engage In any undertaking
in any way outside the law.
Opposed to illegal Affairs.
II was not disclosed whether specific
cases have been brought TO the atten-
tion OF the German government, but
II was made clear that Berlin officials
want the United States and It's peo-
pie to understand they have not coun.
tenanced any illegal affairs with
which German citizens or sympathiz'
ers In this country have been con
nected.
Count Won Bernstorff's instructions
were forwarded to German consuls
Immediately upon their receipt
Administration officials were much
interested In the statement issued by
Count Won Bernstorff and expressed
themselves as much pleased.
II was said the instructions TO Ger
man consuls were not the result OF
any action by the United States.
Officials thought the step might dc
much to relieve troublesome condi
tions which have manifested them
selves almost since the beginning OF
the war.
1t is understood the Berlin foreign
: office learned that public opinion In
this country was being affected bv &C
tivities of sympathizers concerned ir
passport frauds. bomb plots and simi
lar operations.
