mission OF the following remarks:
The revolution in Ireland can only
be successful if supported from Ger
many, otherwise England will be able
to suppress it, even though it be only
after a hard struggle. Therefore help
is necessary. This should consist pri-
marily of aerial attack in England and
a diversion Of the fleet simultaneously
with Irish revolution. Then, if pos
sible, landing of troops, arms and
ammunition in Ireland, and possibly
some officers from Zeppelins. This
would enable the Irish ports to be
closed against England and the estab-
lishment of stations for submarines on
the Irish coast and the cutting off of
the supply of food for England. The
services of the revolution may there
fore decide the war
He asks that telegram to this eff

Berlin Code Message.
A code message sent to Berlin was
given as follows:
National Germania insurance con-
tract certainly promised. Executor is
evidently satisfied with proposition.
Necessary steps have been taken.
HENRY NEUMAN"
OF this message the committee has
this to say:
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
J Information carefully and extern
sively set forth in the secret docu-
, ments of the German officialdom," the
committee continues, was sometimes
[ wide of the facts. For example, a
lengthy memorandum of March l.
= 1916, transmitted by the secret agent,
Captain Boehm, dealing with the Mex
5 lean crisis, appears to have been large
ly the work of some fervid and proiec-
tive imagination.
r 1T predicts that the president will
= attribute Mexico's anti-American ac-
tivities to German money and incite-
: ment; that he will call upon congress
D to support him in radical measures
tthe prophet even attempts to para

the message) that congress will in
dorse the presidents stand, following
G which upward of $50 German spies and
agents were to be arrested and the

receive their passports"
+ After citing an extract from Captain
= BOehm's letter, the committee states
that he was too loose of tongue"
, for the good of service and. citing a
4 report of the German military infOrma-
. ton bureau of March p, 1916, quotes
n the report as follows:
= Too great confidence in the silence
