GERMAN PLAN TO USE IRISH
 IN AMERICA More Proof of DupIicity of the German Imperial
 Government Is
 Given Out. IT BEGAN WORK EARLY Tried to Prevent Peace Agreement Between at England and
 America.
IT BEGAN WORK EARLY

WASHINGTON, Oct H. - That Germany tried to prevent an agree ment for lasting peace between the United States and England, is the latest sensational disclosures made today by President Wilson.
 Germany financed the lrish-Amer- ican propaganda and it's organiZa- tions as early as 1909 to combat the newly developed movement for the celebration of peace between Amer ica and England, so the President learned from the leaders of the century celebration.
 German, Irish and American in- terests in America formed a num- Der of associations and leagues to foster an interest in German affairs a few weeks after the century eel ebration plans were announced in 1909.
 < Tire main organization became merged with. the American Truth Society, of which Jermiah O'Leary. of New York, is now the president, and lobbied against a bill in the legislature designed to promote the century's success for long peace.
 The century meeting planned for 1914 was called off as the result of the war.
 The American Truth Society has been one of the most active pro German organizations since war was declared, having criticized the ac- itions of the President, and O'Leary's name was mentioned in the dis closures made by the State Depart ment yesterday as having been mentioned by the Imperial govern ment and recommended to Count von Bernstorff as one to be depend ed upon for interfering with muni- tion manufacture in the United States.

 LONDON. Oct. i1.-Additional details of the muntiny of crews on board German battleships received here indicate the seriousness of in- ternal affairs which are approaching another climax in the Central Pow CTS, according to opinions expressed here. M
 After three of the ringleaders of the mutineers who headed for Nor way with the battleship Nurne- berg, intending to intern her, had been shot. Emperor William hav- ing made special visit to Wil- helmshaven to inquire into the con- ditions, the other mutineers were given sentence aggregating 200 years penal servitude.
 Other than the reports received from Amsterdam and Petrograd. . Copenhagen dispatch says reports of an revolutionary outbreak aboard German warships at Wilhelmshaven occurred about six weeks ago. the uprising being suppressed with the greatest difficulty. The Copenhagen dispatch also re- ports there have been numerous outbreaks amongst the soldiers at the front of a most grave character.
 The fact that some of the mutin- eers of the Nurneberg were saved from being shot only after the Im- perial Chancellor had pleaded with the Kaiser for their lives. is taken as a further indication of the ser iousness of the internal situation.
