man troops rising would be useless
AFTER Americas entrance into the
war. In April. 1917. the line OF COM
munication between the German gov
eminent and the leaders Of the Sim
Fein party was broken temporarily.
though there was no reason TO believe
that the messenger service between
America and Ireland devised by John
Dewey was affected.
"a clew to the new line OF communi-
cation was obtained subsequently and
has been followed up actively. The ef-
feet Of this new line in Ireland Is visi-
Bile in the speeches of the Sim Fein
leaders during this period.
De Valera Planned Army.
For example. Prof. De Valera. ad-
dressing the convention Of the Irish
volunteers on October q. 1917, said:
by proper organization and re-
cruiting we could have 100000 fighting
volunteers In Ireland. That would be
n big army. but without the oppor-
tunity and means for fighting II could
only be used as menace. There al
ready has been too much bloodshed
without success. and l would never
advocate another rebellion without
hopeful chances OF success. We can
see no hope OF that In the near future
except through German invasion OF
England and the landing Of troops and
munitions in Ireland. We should be
prepared to leave nothing undone to-
ward that end
"On another occasion, in January
Of this year. DE Valera said:
"'As long as Germany is the enemy
of England and England is the enemy
Of Ireland. so long will Ireland be
friend Of Germany
about April. 1918. 1t was ascer-
tanned definitely that a plan for land
Ing arms in Ireland was ripe for exc
cution and that the Germans only
awaited definite Information.
THE British authorities were able TO
warn the Irish command regarding the
probable landing of an agent Of Ger
many from a submarine. The agent
actually landed on April II and was
arrested.
Revolt to Follow Drive.
"The new rising depended largely
upon the landing Of munitions from
submarines and there Is evidence to
show that II was planned to follow a
successful German offensive In the
west and was to take place at a time
when Great Britain presumably would
be stripped Of troops.
According TO documents found on
his person. De Valera had worked out
in great detail the constitution Of his
rebel army. He hoped TO be able TO
muster 10000 trained men. There Is
evidence that German munitions actu-
ally had been shipped on submarines
from Cuxhaven in the beginning OF
May, and that for some time German
submarines have been busy Off the
west coast Of ireland on other errands
than the destruction of allied ship
ping.
"NO other course was open to the
government II useless bloodshed was
TO be avoided and Its duty TO Its allies
fulfilled but TO intern the authors and
abettors Of this criminal intrigue"

One Of the favorite stories among

and Queen Of England in London a few
days ago.
Here is the way It happened;
The king and queen were visiting
an eagle hut, where there were a
large number of soldiers. There was
more or less formality about the event
until a big Louisiana doughboy came in.
Who's the little guy with the
lady?
They told him.
you don't say SOL!
Before anybody knew what was
happening the big Louisianian had
worked his way through the crowd,
and was gripping the hand OF the
King of England and saying, in the
well known Louisiana drawl:
King George; Bill Smith is my
name. I want to shake hands with
you, and tell you that since we got
over here and got acquainted with
you fellers. We think you are all
right!"
