Well we went the next evening again
and it was really funny. Every one

hadn't used up all her sugar and she
went away overnight to do canteeI
work for some drafted men who
were going from q nearby town early
the next morning. These were two
very significant facts. but there was
one still more fateful. She left her
backdoor key with us.
We sent our Boss" in while the
coffee was boiling to do the deed. He
was told to get half cupful. Well.
he didn't come back for whole
thirty.flve minutes. Do you know
why? The sugar was hidden in the
washboiler. Our "Boss" said he
could have taken any amount Of

that was hanging around loose. But
when it came to sugar those precious
two pounds were SO well hidden that

GERMAN PLOT IN
 IRELAND IS FO|LED.
500 Sim Fein Leaders Arrested for Conspiring With Enemy-Probably Prevented Outbreak of Armed
 Violence With Teuton Aid.

London, May 1S.-Discovery of a German plot involving certain per sons in Ireland was announced last night in Dublin by the issuance of proclamation, signed by Edward Shortt, chief secreary for Ireland, in the name of the lord lieutenant, Wis., count French, The proclamation says that British subjects living in Ireland have entered into reasonable com munication with the enemy and calls for drastic measures to put down the German plot. Voluntary recruiting is urged in order that compulsion may be avoided and that the Irish may as- sist in putting down the conspiracy
 The Irish Times (Dublin) today says the government has not acted a moment too soon, as all signs point ed to another outbreak of armed vio- lence, possibly in connection with the landing of German troops on Irish shores.

Succumbed to Paralytic Stroke al

Hicks and Mrs. Tom Powell, and a sister, Mrs. Lima Cole, and will be taken to the home of his niece, Mrs. R. A. Tomlin- son, where the funeral was held at 10:30 Thursday morning. The fun eral was conducted by the Rev. T. A. Park of the Presbyterian church, in which the deceased was an officer while a resident of Mena.
 MT. Wood, with his wife and fam fly, came to Mena from Eureka Springs about fourteen years ago, and during his stay here conducted an undertaking business, and took an ac- tive part in the city's affairs. Mrs Mrs. Wood died about three years ago and was buried here.

Plot" Says Dublin Paper.

Commenting on the proclamation by Lord French, the Dublin Freeman's Journal, is quoted -in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Dublin as saying:
 "Conscription is to be launched in Ireland under the cover of revela- tions connected with an alleged Ger man plot. That appears to be the meaning of this rather strange proc lamation, which is Chief Secretary Shortt's first word to the Irish proph- cts.
 ''Of course it is not impossible that a few foolish men in Ireland may have been interested in conspiracy to in- yoke German aid, as the Vovenanters threatened to invoke it in 1914, but the Irish people have never been pro- German and notwithstanding all prov ocation received from the English government they are not pro-German today"

GERMAN ARMY ALI
 READY FOR DRIVE
Stage Set for Decisive Smash This Week and the Allies are Con- fident-America Will Be
 There.

New York, May 19 Nearly three weeks have passed since the German offensive, begun on March 21, died down at its final active point in futile assaults on the Flanders front. Every indication, however, points to the probability that the coming week will witness it's renewal says the Asso- ciated Press report.
 The entente staffs, so far as their opinion can be learned, appear con- vinced that the enemy has about com pleted his reorganization and read justment and is only awaiting suitable weather.
 Waiting for Thick Weather.
 Fair weather is reported from the battle fronts, but apparently this is not to the German liking. It is re- called that he was materially aided by the foggy, misty conditions, during which masses could be moved to the point selected for the heaviest stroke without coming under aerial observa- tion. It may be the enemy purpose to await similar conditions before his second push.
 German public opinion is being pre- pared by Cancellor von Hertling and others for the imminenee of renewed heavy fighting. On the allied side con- fidence is expressed in the outcome, particularly with the Germans crip- pied in reserve power thru their losses in the earlier attack, while the allies have received notable re-enforcements from the United States.

America Has Done Its Best.

Washington, May 18.-With every indication pointing to the early re- sumption of a German drive in France, officials here feel that all that could be done to bring American aid to the allied armies has been done They await the outcome with the same supreme confidence that Germany's offensive power finally will be re- pulsed as do the French and British leaders.
 American troops are shoulder to shoulder with the French and British in Picardy, while in Flanders, Ameri- can units are training close behind the battle lines, ready to go in immediate ly if necessary. In both places the number of Americans is being in- creased at rate not looked for few months ago, and on the two Ameri- can sectors farther south, the lines are being strengthened and extended daily
 U. s. Holds Longer Line.
 With more than F million men ov- erseas, the United States forces are occupying their full share of the fight ing line. It was learned officially to- day that the actual frontage held is third in extent at this time, having exceeded the length of the Belgian sector when American troops came in- to the line with the French in Picardy.
 Officials here believe that the Ger man high command is so heavily com mitted to the Picardy and Flanders sectors in it's offensive plans that no serious effort elsewhere along the front is to be expected. It therefore appears certain that when the new blow is struck, Americans will share in increasing numbers from month to month in German defeat.
 Meanwhile, events are moving swiftly on this side to back up the army now abroad with steady and increasing flow of men and equipment. Members of the Senate Military Com mittee, in their weekly conference at the War Department today, are un- derstood to have been shown that en- couraging progress is being made in all lines.
 A Million There This Summer.
 There appears to be little doubt now that the American forces abroad will pass the million mark by midsummer, altho offiGal statements are lacking. The rate at which troops are being sent overseas are rising from week to week. Figures may not be published under the rules of the voluntary cen sorship, but Secretary Bakers recent statement that E million had been dispatched is regarded as already out of date.

 That money went, dollar for dollar, where it did full days work wherever it was.
 Three cents of it may have had the honor of dsin- ectng with iodine the three torn wounds of American soldier the French front Or may have had the less noble responsibility of pinning flannel belly-ban around sx-year-old Antoine out back of Noyon.
 No use,we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents worth
 There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to Switzerland just to visualize thing at time If your Red Cross money went there 1t very likely provided pots and pans food and clothes beds and blankets for the repatriated people.

Comes as a Surprise.

The arrest of the Sim Fein lead CTS and the issuance of Lord French's proclamation came as a surprise. In Dublin the arrests were made by de- tectives acting in cooperation with the military, while in the provinces they were carried out by the Royal Irish constabulary.
 Others arrested are Homer Hunter, Joseph McCraith and Patrick O'Keefe.
 George Gerachty, chairman of the Roseom town commissioners and pres ident of the Sim Fein executives, also was arrested. The only arrest report ed at Cork is that of newspaper man named Barry. Other Sim Fein pris- oners continue to arrive from all parts of the country. The arrests so far reported number nearly 100.
 The number of Irish in cooperation with the enemy is said to be very small. There have been various hints recently of German activity in the Sim Fein ranks and there has been no full explanations of recent arrests, including that of man who landed on the Irish coast from a German sub marine in collapsible boat,
