HOLLAND MUST
 SEND SHIPS FOR
 AMERICAN GRAIN
T. $. Will Not Send Vessels With 100000 Tons of
 Dutch Tonnage Idle.

Washington, May 21.-IIo.land has been notified by the United States that her request for three ships now in American ports to carry the bal ance of the grain promised her by Presdint Wilson cannot be granted, and that to prevent further delay in the movement of the grain, Dutch ships should be sent for it at once.
 The fact that this step had been taken became known today soon after the receipt of press dispatches an nouncing that the Netherlands govern ment had prohibited the departure. of Dutch ships from it's ports.
 Officials were at a loss to under stand the meaning of Hollands act ion tho it was assumed that the at titude of Germany was responsible More than 100000 tons of Dutch ship ping are idle in Dutch ports accord ing ta information in possession of the state department. II is from this fleet of tied up tonnage that the war trade board holds the ships necessary 70 transport the grain must be taken

Washington, May 21.-EVidence of plotting between German and Irish agents in this country for an uprising in Ireland has been uncovered by United State government agents and is partly responsible for the recent ar rest of Irish leaders by the British government
 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 tC furnish moneys to finance 2 rebellion in Ireland and possibly to send arms and ammunition to Ireland 0v suhmar ines 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 theil great drive in France, and 1t was be- lieved England would be thrown int confusion by the German victories.
 Ireland was to be freed entirely from British influence if possible ant the Germans counted strongly on the Irish trouble to divert Great Britain's attention from the fighting in France and at the channel ports at the very time when it would be most necessary for the country to keep cool to pre- vent 9 German invasion.
 Information concerning these plots has been gathered by several ingesti gating agencies of the United State: government and turned over to th' state department which forwarded i to representatives of the British gov ernment. In many cases the informa ton provided leads by which Britlsl secret agents found evidence of plot ting in Ireland.
 Negotiations were allowed to proceed for some time in the hope that more of the plotters would be rounded Ill finally and the arrests are believed tt have been ordered by British officials at this time because it became evi dent that an open outbreak was abou to be precipitated. It was hinted to-

IriSfn-GerHman Plot Uncovered
 TEl U. s. By Federal Detectives Detection in America Led to Arrest of Sim Fen Lead CTS in Ireland-sympathiz gers Here Were Mediums of Communication Betw cen Radicals and Huns

day that a number of Sim F'ein sym pathizers in the United States are un- der watch for further developments in the Irish plot.
 The secret system of negotiations had been in progress for several months, it is understood This tends to confirm the statement from London that the series of the arrests several days ago had no direct connection with plans to conscript the Irish. Some information was obtained from Germans now held in ilternment camps in this country. There is in- dication also that the seat of German Irish negotiations was transferred ao times to other American republics.
 It was made plain here today that the United States governments nj teresti in the Irish plots is solely to prevent Germany by this method from attacking co-bellgerents of the United States, and this government is not seeking to meddle in the Irish situa- tion except for this reason.
 As soon as all persons suspected of participating in the conspiracies are arrested the evidence already gathered may be made public to show the necessity for nippine the plot at this time. Some doubt exists as tC whether these disclosures will be made in London or Wilmington. Of ficials here today were inclined to be- leve that they would come from the British government.

Associated Press SumnarV)

Associated Press Sumnary)
 Striking viciously at the enemy at various points along the western bat tle frcnt, meeting each outbutst of German artillery with a thunder of cannon fire and maintaining the mas terH of the air in every sector from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier, the armies of the entente allies are preventing the Tcutonc armies from quietly perfecting their preparations for coming battles.
 With the knowledge that each pass ing day brings new American leglons to help crush the next German of fensive, the allies are finding satisfac- tion in the fact that the Germans have as vet been unable to launch new blow in the struggle which Berlin had expected to be the decisive one of tn war.
 Germans Lack Spirit
 For the most nart the Germans have shown but little of their habi- tual fighting spirit along the line in France. They have been thrust back in four sectors and the allies have succeeded in winning ground which will be of the greatest importance in the future. The Germans have coun- ter-attacked in only one instance and this movement was carried out SC slowly and with such lack of dash that it was easily broken up before the Teutons reached the new allied positions.
 The attacks by the French near Locre, on the northern side of the Lys salient, and of the Australians be- fore Amiens. which have already been reported now appear to have been more successful than at first un dcrstood Near Locre the French have net only taken strongly fortified points, but they have made secure their lines on each side of Hill A which they re-captured from the Ger mans recently.
 Australians Win High Ground
 The Australians, too, have won ground which is of tactical import ance along the Amiens sector. They have gained higher ground which lends itself to defensive tactics and will be valuable when the time comes for stern battles there.
 The French still seem to be the most active of the forces of the en- tante nations. They have again engag- ed in raiding operations near Lassig- ny on the flank of the German line as it's stands since the advance toward Amiens.
 On the American front there has been the usual lively exchange of ar- tillery fire but no infantry fighting has occurred. The same is true of the situation in the Italian theater. Japan and China have come to an understanding relative to carrying out of joint military operatinos in Siberia. It was announced some time ago that these operations would be directed en- ly to insuring the security of eahc country's interest in Manchuria, Mon; golia and the Far East.
