ties within the last year are beng
carefully scrutnized. Chief William
Flvnn OF the Secret Service is per-
.oraIlv conducting the Investigation.
Think Arms Were Bought Here
The discovery that an extensive
fund had been collected here for lrsh
revolutionary purposes started the
government agents at work on the
theory that the money had been eX-
p.pded here. where munitions could
be easily purchased, and that they
had been hidden awaiting an oppor-
tunity for shipment to Ireland.
Several interesting phases Of the
plot, whose details had not been I'M
covered, occupied the attention of the
government operatives yesterday. One
Of these was the activities of group
Of Turks'who we're found to have been
frequent visitors at the home of Baron
Won ReskEnghausen, on Beekman
Place, in the shadow Of the Queens
boro Bridge.
The appearance Of these Asiatic al
lies Of Germany injects an entirely
novel note in the Ieuton intrigue
carried out In this country under the
direction Of the former German Am
bsssador. Count Won Bernstorff. Chief
Flynn declared that a group of four
Turks were prevented from sailing on
a secret mission abroad a short time
ago by the Secret Service. How the
Turks were mixed up in the Irish af-
fair he did not divulge.
Fund Sent TO France
Another Of the enterprises discov-
cred by examination Of papers found
on the persons or in the homes of the
prisoners was the sending of large
sums Of money for German propa-
ganda 10 france. Word is awaited
from France for information as to
how this money was spent and by
whom II was received.

homes in New York were under con-
start surveillance yesterday, and

APPEAL TO. WORKMEN.

Russians Call on Germans and Aus

Petrograd, March 31.-An appeal

Austrian coalition to rise against i'm
perial authority and to establish their
freedom, says the Petrograd Tele-

countries to "throw off the yoke of
autocratic rule as the Russian people
have overthrow the imperial auto

By a united effort, the appeal de-
clares, "we.can stop this awful muir

The document states emphatically
that it is not a craven appeal for
peace, declaring:
Russia will defend its new-found
liberty against all interference wheth-
err from within or without. 1t will not
yield before belligerent bayonets, nor
will it permit itself to be coerced by
foreign military power.

GYPSY NEVER WORKS.
Tells Judge That he Paid $40 in
Real Money for His Wife.

Real Money for His Wife.
Philadelphia, March 31.-Atten-
ton. men! Listen to this tale fresh
from gypsy camp. If you happen
to be henpecked or overworked, put
this in your pipe and smoke it. Then
decide if you don't think the male
members of the gypsy ranks have
it pretty easy after all. Let's enlist!
The story was aired before Re-
corder Stackhouse in Camden when
Peter Joyce, 40 years old, who lived
in the gypsy camp on the Delaware
at 'the, foct Of Twenty1Aeventh
street, was alraigned and accused of
assault and battery by his wife, He
is a gypsy; so is she.
Said Mrs. Joyce: "Mr. Judge, l
have ten children. This man doesn't
do anything but lie around all day
and do nothin'. He beats me, swears
at me, pulls my hair and treats me
bad.
"He has never worked. I don't
care if he wants to leave me. l
say, 60 ahead, you loaferl' But
if he wants to live with ME ne
gotta behave or l say go to-jail'.
The surprise of the hearing came
when Joyce took the stand in his
own defense.
"What 20 expect?" he voiced In
stentorian tones as he raped his
breast proudly.
Il bought this woman, bought
her as you would buy a horse. |
paid $540 for her in good solid gold
$50 pieces. What are women for if
not to work? She treats me like a
dog anyway"
Recorder Stackhouse announced
that if the wife treated Joyce like a
dog, he'd better treat the prisoner
like horse. "Two MONTHS" he said.

hopes of military success must rest upon them.
 1 When we needed shells, factories were set to work to produce them, with materials requisitioned for the purpose. Hogs rank with shells in importance. Yet we are trusting en- tirely to the farmer to realize that meat will be high for some years to come, and trust that he will turn out sufficient supplies of this indispens- able.
 If 1t be necessary to depend upon private enterprise, then call the farm CTS to their duty. Tell them the need of the hour, and show them that they are sure of a profit never before known. By every means encourage the raising of hogs and keeping them until of a mature age. Change the usual commencement-day oratory, and tell the farm boys to hitch their wag- ons, not to star, but to the tail of pig.
 Not quite so classic, perhaps, but more to the point. Every security value in the land rests upon victory, and therefore upon pigs. Here then is work for banks, chambers of com merce and boards of trade, and every one who, directly or indirectly, can in- fiuence the farmers to raise more pigs. New York Sun.

PORK AND VICTORY

Pork, one day last week, reached
 m a barrel Compared with the price d s21G5 in the month before war began. it is sensational. This daring aviator, disdaining to "spiral' stands his machine Ion it's tail" and shoots upwards.
 The price is even more disturbing than the high level of cotton. The
 reason is largely the same, but it's inn
 wrt is more sinister, and calls for
 prompt measures for its remedy. The
 price lays bare the fact that the sup ply of meat is inadequate to our mili- tary and civilian needs.
 Food, We are told, will win the war. It will be no child's play to beat back the Hun. If it is accomplished, the fighting forces must be kept physi- cany fit at all times. That can be done only by an abundance of energy giving food. That food is wheat and meat.
 Our wheat crop is short, and the world supply is S5 per cent of normal. A shortage of wheat calls for more meat The beef supply is short, and the purchasers of meat have turned to pork. As even there the supply is short, and the purchasers of meat have turned to pork. As even there the supply is not up to requirements. prices go skyward.
 The obvious duty is to increase the supply of wheat and meat. The farm CTS have seeded a larger area to wheat, and the outcome now rests With Nature. To increase the beef herds IS in point of time like increas- ng the battleship fleet. But hogs develop rapidly and increase faster than compound interest. Therefore,
