authorized a statement of which
the following is a part:
The Czecho-Slovak in Russia,
consists OF prisoners OF war who
were originally conscripted by the
Austrian government to fight
against the allies. These men sur
rendered on masse to the Russians.
and Immediately thereafter applied
to the Russian government for per-
mission to form independent nght-
ing units to struggle with the al
lies against the Central Powers.
Helped Kerensky Offensive.
The old Russian regime. Germano-
phile as It was. refused TO grant this
permission, and the Kerensky govern
ment at first was not enthusiastic
about the scheme. but finally author
lied the Czecho-Slovaks to organize
their forces. The plan was 80 sue
cessful that the short-lived July, 1917,
offensive, which was led by Kerensky
was made possible only by the Czecho-
Slovak regiments.
when Kerensky fell and the pres
ent condition of affairs in Russia
arose, the Czecho-Slovak army was
the only organized force IN Russia
which was not affected by the gen
eral disorganization. and It Is now
the strongest force in the former en-
pire Of the car.
''The size Of this force is generally
given as $4,000 men. 1t Is, in fact
much larger. When in Russia, DR..
Masaryk succeeded in organizing a
force of 5000 men, and these are
armed. organized and well disciplined.
And, in addition. there is another 50.-
900 men already enlisted by the Rus
sian branch of the Czecho-Slovak na-
tional council These are not only
ready and willing, but anxious. ac-
lively to engage in the struggle
against Austria-Hungary and Ger
many, so that II Is no exaggeration
to say that the Czecho-Slovak army
in Russia numbers 10000 men"

AGAINST FOREIG N E R S.
People Do Not Favor Ad- hitting Canadian VeS- seIS to American
 COaStWiSe.

The Shipping Board hearing took a wide range yesterday afternoon, but the keynote was the need for better and more complete co-opera- tion between the transportation peo- pie and the shippers and between the various transportation compan- ies The possibility of the need for government operation was hinted at several times, and the idea of the combination of the transportation organizations and the operation of the various companies under one management met with approval. The suggestion that freight shipments from Alaska to the States should meet more of the increased cost of operation of ships, suggested by Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., also was consid- cred as a possible solution of some of the difficulties of the situation.
 The hearing yesterday afternoon proceeded on a friendly basis. It was assumed that the increased cost of operation on the part or the steamship companies was the basis for the increased freight rates. 1t was admitted by the witnesses gen orally that the steamship compan- ies were entitled to make small profit, at least on their investments, thought one of the dearest witness es to speak took the position that it was a case of everybody losing money until after the war, and that the losses should be divided among transportation companies and ship pers.

IRISH PLOT ON
 BOTH SIDES OF
 ATLANTIC OCEAN
Hun and Irish Agents in America Suspected of Causing Trouble
 in Ireland.
UPRISING IS PLANNED
Purpose Was to Revolt in Ireland at Time Huns Expected to Reach
 Channel Ports.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Govern.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Govern- ment agents have discovered evi- dence of plotting between German and Irish agents in this country for a proposed uprising in Ire land.
 This evidence is partly responsi- ble for the arrest of Irish leaders recently in Ireland. The evidence may be made public soon.
 It is understood that it will show definitely that Irish leaders, mainly Sein Feinner sympathizers here, have been in touch with German representatives who agreed to fur nish money to finance a rebellion in Ireland, and if possible, to send arms and ammunition to Ireland on board submarine or blockade runners.
 The plotters are said to have dis cussed sending German soldiers to Ireland. The date of the uprising was set for the time of the arrival of the German soldiers, and for the time it was expected the Germans in their offensive would reach French channel ports, and throw England into confusion.

Huns Strangely Silent

DATELESS, - A noon summary to the Associated Press says the German delay in making their expect ed offensive is being improved upon by the Allies in improving their po- sitions through strong local attacks.
