HUN-IRISH PLOT
IN U. S. FOILED
Sim Fein Agents in This Country
Alleged to Be involved
in Revolt.
GERMAN CASH BACKS PLAN
Plotted to Send Arms to Erin by
U-Boats-Blow Was Ready to
Fall When Enemy Won
Channel Ports.

Washington, May 23.-Disclosure
that the United States government has
gathered evidence in this country OF
cOnspiracies between Irish Sim Feln
leaders and German agents to precipi-
tate a rebellion In Ireland was fol-
lowed by announcement that govern
ment agents had uncovered similar
German intrigue with other nation
alistic groups in the United States.
German money, it was said, has been
used to finance agitation among ne
grOes and among Films, Lithuanians
and others of the sO-called oppressed
nationalities" which for years have
had nationalistic grievances against
Russia or other anti-Germanic allies.
In most cases this propaganda has
been carried on by Americans affiliated
with these groups, paid from some
mysterious source believed to be the
German government. Chicago, New
York and Boston Irishmen are involved
in the conspiracy, according to a per
sistent report. Some Of them are like
ly to be arrested soon and prosecuted
as traitors as conspiring with t he
enemy.
This evidence. which may be made
public soon, is understood to show def
nitely that Irish leaders, mainly Sim
Fein sympathizers in the United
States, have been in touch with Ger
man representatives, who agreed to
furnish money to finance a rebellion In
Ireland and possibly to send arms and
ammunition to Ireland by submarines
or blockade runners. There was even
some discussion of the chances of
sending German soldiers to take part
in warfare on Irish soil.
The uprising was set for about this
time, when the Germans had planned
to reach the channel ports after their
great drive In France, and 1t was be-
lieved England would be thrown into
confusion by the German victories.
Ireland was to be freed entirely from
British influence If possible, and the
Germans counted strongly on the Irish
trouble to divert Great Britain's atten-
ton from the fighting In France and
at the channel ports at the very time
when 1t would be most necessary for
the country to keep calm to prevent a
German invasion.
Information concerning these plots
has been gathered by several investi-
eating agencies OF the United States
government and turned over to the
state department, which forwarded 1t
tor representatives of the British gov
eminent. In many cases the informa-
ton provided leads by which British
ting In ireland.

Rep. Caldwell of New York Tells
of Large Shipments of
Troops to France.
S8,6l8,562, 466 FOR ARMY
Baker Submits Estimates for Ordnance
and Other War Supplies During
Next Fiscal Year to
House.

Washington, May 24.-In a state
ment inserted in the house record on
Wednesday, Representative Caldwell
of New York, member of the mill
tary committee. declared that during
the first ten days Of May, 10000 Amer
licar soldiers were sent abroad, and
said that after the expiration Of one
year from the arrival of the first ship
ment of troops from this country, the
United States would have 100000
men in France, equipped with the
necessary arms and supplies.
Representative Caldwell said:
To-day we have an army of more
than 100000. of which 100000 have
already been shipped to France and
million more have had the necessary
trimming TO fit them for foreign service.
These are now waiting for boats to
carry them over.
Notwithstanding that the appropri-
alton measure now pending is to sup
port an army of only 100000, ! am
confident that before many months
deficiency appropriations will be nee
essary.
We will probably have between A.
100000 and 100000 men before the
next fiscal year. The potential man
power of America for seven-year
war may he couservatiyely estimated
ut 20O00000 fighting men Of recog-
ulzed military age"
Additional estimates Of S1,500000,
600 for ordnance, ordnance stores and
ordnance supplies, during the next tis-
cal year We're submitted 10 the house
by Secretary Baker together with re-
quest for authorization of $7.11S.562,
4G6 more 10 be spent at the war de-
partmcnts discretion for ordnance.
Additional requests for naval apprO-
priations during the next fiscal year
totaling SO. 1886 were submitted to
congress by Secretary Daniels. Dan
ielS' request included S11,0000O0 for
constructing and equipping training
camps and S5.533. 500 for procuring
and testing shells.
