mission OF the followlng remarks:
1.-The revolution in Ireland can
only be successful if supported from
Germany, otherwise England will be
able to suppress it, even though it be
only after hard struggles. Therefore
help is necessary. This should con
sist primarily, of aerial attacks in
England and a diversion of the fleet
simultaneously with Irish revolution
Then, if possible, a landing of troops
arms and ammunition in Ireland and
possibly some officers from Zeppe
Inns. This would enable the Irish
ports to be closed against England
and the establishment of stations fol
submarines on the Irish coast and the
cutting off of the supply of food for
England. The services of the revo
luton may therefore decide the war
He asks that a telegram to this
effect be sent to Berlin.

Along this same line is a code mes
sage by wireless to Banker Max
Moebius, Oberwallstrasse, Berlin,
which is interesting chiefly as show.
ing the code method of important
communications practiced by the Ger.
man official plotters in this country.
The code translation was found with
the copy of the message among Won
lgels papers. The original is a Ger
man dispatch which, being translated
into English, sounds like an innocent
business transaction, viz:

Necessary steps have been taken.
HENRY NEUMAN."
Not so innocent and harmless as it
looks, for what the message really
means is this:
Irish agree to proposition. The
necessary steps have been taken"
Canada was also the object of
solicitous interest on the part of Ger
many's representatives in America as
was startingly proven in the plot to
blow up the Welland canal. Another
lesser but not unpromising enterprise
against Canada was foregone by Won
Igel because the volunteer plotter was
too old, though he has the best OF
good will" and also because of his
known connection with the Gaelic
American and the Indian Revolution
lists. Such is the Endorsement upon
the letter, signed only "X," who thus
sets forth his qualifications for TO-
menting disorders in Quebec.

Information carefully and extern
sively set forth in the secret docu-
ments of the German officialdom was
sometimes wide of the facts. For e..
ample, a lengthy memorandum of
March 1, 1916, transmitted by the
secret agent, Capt. Boehm, dealing
with the Mexican crisis, appears to
have been largely the work of some
fervid and protective imagination.
The memorandum purports to outline
President Wilson's expected message
to congress. 1t predicts that the
president will attribute Mexicos anti
American activities direct to German
money and Indictment; that he will
call upon congress to support him in
radical measures 1.-THE prophet even
