WASHINGTON, May 21.-Evidence
OF plotting between German and Irish
agents in this country preparatory to
an uprising in Ireland, has been un-

agents and has been partly RESPONSE

which may be published later on. is
understood to show definitely that
the Irish leaders, who were mainly
Sim Fein representatives in the Unit

representatives OF the German gov

money with which to finance a rebel
