u-BOAT RECENTLY LANDED
 A MAN ON IRISH COAST
Announcement Made in House of Com
 mons-He is Now in Tower of London.

London, May 9.-A German subma- rine recently landed a man on the Irish coast, where he was arrested by government officials. James MacPher- son, parliamentary secretary to the war office, announced in the house of commons today that this man was in the Tower of London and would be courtmartialed.
 The collapsible boat in which the Germans landed the man on the Irish coast has been inspected by officials. It is made of canvas with bottom of 23 wooden slats, each four inches wide, making the boat about eight feet long and two feet wide The canvas sides, about 20 inches high, have an inner lining of rubber fabric which is blown up from a valve at the rear to give the boat buoyancy. There are loops along the sides in which short wooden i braces or struts keep the boat from sollapsing.
 The whole craft when rolled up weighs less than 40 pounds and can be easily carried under a mans arm, When the buoyancy chambers are pumped full of air the boat will easily | support three men, although only one is thus far reported to have been ar rested.
 In the side of .the boat is a hole 1 about three inches in diameter, pre- sumably cut by the occupant in an l effort to sink her after landing.
