New Rebellion Planned for
This Year After German

WERE TO HAVE SUB
BASES IN IRELAND
Americas Entry Into War
Caused Huns to Change
Methods.

London, May 25.-Germany's ef-
forts to foment revolution in Ireland
with the aid Of the Sim Fein are laid
bare in a statement from the official
press bureau, reviewing this phase Of
the Irish political situation.
After the abortive rebellion of Eas-
ter week. 1916, plans were made for
a revolt in 1917. but this miscarried
because of Americas entry into the
troops to Ireland. An uprising in Ire
land was planned for this year after
the German offensive in the west had
been successful and when Great Brit
ain presumably would be stripped of
troops.
Concerning the recent arrests in
Ireland, the statement says that facts
and documents, for obvious reasons,
cannot now be disclosed, nor can the
means of communication between
Germany and Ireland.
Every plan called for the establish
ment of submarine bases in Ireland.
In the present circumstances. it is
added, no other course was open to
the government "if useless bloodshed
was to be avoided and it's duties to its
allies fulfilled. but to intern the au-
thors and abettors of this criminal
intrigue
