Return to Work After
u. S. Officers Appeal

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28.-Follow-
ing the issuing by army officers here
to-day of a statement making clear 70
10000 striking irOnworkers and the
public that il was the consensus Of
their expert opinion that the strike

concerned in the strike were instructed
tonight by the Iron Trades Council to

"The military situation demands that
ships be commissioned at the earliest
date practicable, and any obstruction
thereto seriously sets back that victory
which is essential on land and sea TO
effect peace" the unusual statement OF
the army officers concluded.
The statement, in part, follows:
"At the commencement Of the war
with Germany il was a fact well known
to military experts that the navy OF
the United States in entering into war
with 4 distant oversee objective would
require every available American mer-
chant bottom. and that there was not
available for the prosecution Of the war
American merchant tonnage beyond the
immediate war needs of the United
States navy.
Meanwhile, our navy, in this war, is
operating at a distance from It's nome
bases. and it has become necessary TO
send troops and supplies in large guam
titles to France.
"Any delay or obstruction IN the
shipbuildinC programme is one which
favors our enemy, the German nation
and delays and obstructs the termina-
ton of the war. In this connection II
is a question Of finishing ships now on
ways at shipyards within contract time
limits, for the military situation de-
mands that ships be launched and com
missioned at the earliest date practica-
Bile, and any delay or obstruction there

efficient prosecution Of the war and cor
respondinCly sets back in days. weeks
and months that victory which is. essen

German Social Democrats
Weakening Under Strain
Lsrc,al Corre.pondsnnel

LONDON, Sept. 2l.-The German
Social Democratic party has sustained
great losses since the beginning Of the
war, according to the annual report of
the party printed in a recent issue Of
the Berlin "Vorwaerts." The report
shows that the membership has de-
creased from 100000 on March 81,
1914, to 100000 this year. The decrease
is partly on account of the war and
partly owing 10 the schism within the
party. At the same time the sub
scribers TO the Socialis. papers have
fallen of from 100000 to 10000,

Sim Feiner's Body
Is Lying in State
Dublin Throngs Pay Trib-
ute to Ashe, Who Died in
Prison on Hunger Strike

DUBLIN, Sept. 2S.--The body of
Thomas Ashe, Sim Fein leader, who
died in prison Wednesday while on a
hunger strike, now is in the City Hall,
where it will lie in state until Sunday.
On that day the public funeral will take
place and interment will be at Glass
nevin Cemetery. II is expected that
the procession will be the largest since
the funeral Of Charles Parnell, with
many contingents present from the
provinces.
To-day, after a requiem mass in the
cathedral. attended by an immense con-
gregation, including all the Sim Fem
leaders and numerous priests, Ashes
body was conveyed in a procession
through the streets to the City Hall. A
group of Irish volunteers, some Of
whom were in uniform, followed the
hearse. Large crowds looked on, but
there were no disturbances.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The death in
Dublin on Wednesday of Thomas Ashe,
a Sim Fein leader, reported to have
been due TO voluntary starvation, ac-
cording to dispatch to THE Daily
Mail" from Dublin, has accentuated
painfully the difficulties underlying
the surface of Irish politics, and Sim
Fem opinion is inf1amed seriously.
At the inquest yesterday into the
death Of Ashe Professor McMeeney
testified that the post-mortem examina-
ton, at which several doctors were
present, showed that Ashe did not die
Of hunger. The body was not emaciat-
ed and there was an abundance of food
in the stomach. Death, he said was
due to syncope, arising partly from
heart trouble and partly from an in
tense congestion Of the lungs. Ashes
heart, he added, was abnormal, and he
would be apt to succumb 10 any sudden
shock or prolonged struggle.
Dr. McKenna, hospital surgeon,
testified that Ashe told him after b..

he had collapsed from a fit OF cough

CORK, Sept. 2s.-A police sergeant

night, while he was preparing squad

The sergeant dropped, seriously
wounded.
The shooting was the culr nation of
q night of disorders fomented by Sim
Feiners, small groups of whom paraded
the strets, whistling the Sim Fein an
thems and cheering the Sim Fem
leader, Thomas Ashe, who died in jail.
Windows were smashed, and five
youths received scalp wounds from po-
lice batons.

Searching for Six More Aliens

Six other Germans who took part IN
the plot are still at large. Several OF
their German friends were summoned
to the Office of William VI. Otfiey, super
intendent Of the local bureau OF inves-
LEGATIONS Of the Department OF Justice.
Whether any information was obtained
as TO the whereabouts of the fugitlves
could not be learned. Their names and
a description Of each have been sent TO
the various Secret Service agencies
throughout the country.
It was learned that skilled mechanics,
drafted from warships and now mem
bers of the Intelligence Department OF
the United States Navy, of the same
calibre as those who worked up the case
against the ninety arrested in the re-
cent raid, have been az work for some
time in plants in all parts of the coun-

to a battleship. German spies are be-
lieycd to be working in many OF these
plants.

Aliens Seized in
Raid May Face
Treason Charge
Government Is Trying to
Learn if War Invention
Plans Went Abroad

Some of the ninety informed enemy
aliens, arrested as the result of the
theft Of the plans of a new American
war invention, may have to face charges
Of treason.
"All these men arrested" said high
government official yesterday, "are
known TO have participated in the theft
OF the plans of this new instrument of
destruction. Most of the prisoners were
employees of one big plant engaged in
manufacturing several productions Of
American inventive genius used by both
army and navy. The raid on Wednes-
day night proved conclusively that not
only were the plans of the new inven-
ton stolen, but the perfected parts OF
the new invention"
The official said that until orders
were received from Washington no
move would be made TO proceed against
the prisoners. He said that if proof
was obtained that any of the blue
prints or parts of the machine had been
sent to Germany would be easy
TO do by means of Spanish ships and
Spanish spies in Germany's employ
by any of the prisoners. they would be
charged with treason.
As told exclusively in The Tribune
yesterday, most Of these German spies
were employed in the factory where the
new war machine is being made. The
head Of the concern thought them
faithful and loyal workmen. fe3ter-
dav. when efforts were made to have
him comment on the raid, his secretary
explained that because Of the delicacy

"Oh, but you are being consulted

She was small and slender, with
good deal of shining, dark brown, hair
and gray eyes that had a direct, in

Yes" replied Mr.. Betting, but
at this late hour, when the affair
seems to have been in a way settled,
it would seem almost sUperfuOus to

Mr.. Bettling's tone was both hurt
