GERMAN PLOT TO
STIR IRELAND TO
AIRED IN
BOWLING TRIAL
Irish Corporal Landed
From German Collapse
BILE Boat, Faces Jury. =
CBy Associated Press.)

London. July S.-The trial by
court martial opened here today of
Corp. Joseph Dowling. who landed
on the Irish coast in German COL
lapsible boat two months ago and
since has been a prisoner in the
tower Of London.
Lord Cheylesmore presided over
the court.
Corporal Bowling, who is slim in
build, of medium height and Of q
wide awake appearance, pleaded not
guilty to the formal charges which
are under three heads: First, that
while he was a prisoner Of war in
Germany he Joined hostile force;
second, that he endeavored to in
duce others to join; third, that he
participated in an attempt to land a
hostile force in Ireland.
Sir Archibald Bodkin, the prosecu-
tor, described the German plot in
1914 for the formation Of an Irish
brigade" from an Irishman taken
prisoner on the British front.
The prosecutor described the
means used to induce Irishmen to
join, and in particular, the German
promises to them, in reading:
AT the >end OF the war the Ger
man government undertakes to send
every member Of the Irish brigade to
the United States"
Sir Archibald read a long .docu-
ment, issued by the Germans which
said:
''The Irish in America are collect
ing money for this brigade. Join the
new unit and win your independence.
The Irish brigade is to fight solely
for the cause of Ireland with the
moral and material assistance of the
German government"
The story told by Prosecutor Bod
kin of the arrival OF Corporal Dow
ling in Ireland follows:
On April 12. fisherman going out
from harbor on the Glare coast
saw a man waving a handkerchief on
an island half a mile from shore. He
said he had been washed ashore from
the torpedoed ship Mississippi dur
ing the night. He paid the fisher
men five shillings to land him at
Ballyaline pier where he gave his
name as James O'Brien and describ-
ed the torpedoing Of the Mississippi
with great detail, stating that the
ship came from Baltimore.
Later in the day his collapsible
boat of undoubted German make was
washed ashore. DowIing had seventy
pounds Of English money. He said
he had come from the United States
to see Irish friends before joining
the American army.
