cessiui transport and maintenance of

tive aid of the army-of the great.

HUNS HATCH IRISH
PLOT IN AMERICA
INVASION AT FAVORABLE TIME
WAS TO FOLLOW UPRISING
FINANCED BY GERMANS.
Teutons Counted on the Irish Trouble
to Divert Great 8ritain's Attention
from the Fighting Front in France
and at the Channel Ports.

ngtOn.-Evidence Of plotting
between German and Irish agents in
this country for an uprising in Ire
land has been uncovered by United
States government agents, and Is part
ly responsible for the recent arrest of
Irish leaders by the British govern
ment.
This evidence, which may be made
public soon. is understood to show
definitely 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 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 sol
diers TO take part in warfare on Irish
soil
The uprising was set for about this
time, when the Germans planned TO
reach the channel ports after their
great drive in France and it was be-
lieved England would be thrown into
confusion by the German victories.
Ireland was TO be freed entirely
from British control if possible and
the Germans counted strongly on the
Irish trouble TO divert Great Britain's
attention from the fighting front in
France and at the channel ports at the
very time when it would be most neces-
sary for the country to keep calm to
prevent q 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 ii
10 representatives of the British gov
eminent. In many cases the informa-
ton provided leads by which British !
secret agents found evidence of plot |
ting in Ireland.
Negotiations were allowed to pro- |
coed for some time in the hope that |
more of the piotters would be rounded /
up finally, and the arrests are believed I
to have been ordered by British Off |
cials at this time because it became
evident that an open outbreak was
about TO be precipitated.
1t was limited also that a number
of Sim Fem sympathizers in the Unit
ed States are under watch for further
Developments in the Irish plot.

shington.-Estimate by Major
General Crowder, provost marshal gen
eraI, indicate that probably three-quar-
tiers Of a million men win be obtained
for the army by the registration on
June of all youths who have attained
/ Il years Of age since June last.
Fully million youths, according to
General Crowder's estimate, will be
registered. At least one-fOurth Of
them, he thinks. viii be exempted on
various grounds.
A statement by Secretary Baker,
giving the estimate and outlining
plans for tine draft, given out on May
y, reads:
Probably three-quarters Of a mil
lion men viii be added to the Ameri-
can army in the making, by the
registration on June 5 next of boys
who have reached the age Of q since
June 5, 1917, or who viii be y on
or before June ., 1918. This estimate
was made today by Provost Marshal
General Z. H. Crowder, who Will
direct the registration.
10 Per Cent 81.
General Crowder's estimate was
based on the fact that almost ten
million men registered last year.
This number included all between y
and 81. Statistics collected by Gen
eral CrOwders officers show that a
little more than 10 per cent Of these
men were u years old. On that
basis it is estimated by draft off
ciais working under General Crow
der that this years registration will
exceed 100000.
''Of this number, General Crowder
estimates three-quarters, or about
10000 men, will be available for mill
tary service. This makes proper al
lowances for physical defects, exemp-
tons because OF dependents and other
bars TO military service.
Under President Wilson's procla
nation, all male persons, citizens or
aliens, must register. The only per-
sons excepted are officers and en-
listen men OF the regular army, navy
and marine corps and the national
guard and naval militia While in fed
eral service. and officers Of the Off
GERS reserve corps while in active ser
vice.
